Dinnnner's readyyyy!... Or the learning of the mother's tongue by Agathe Saint Girons

Artist list

Agathe Saint Girons

The first original feature of this exhibition is to show jewellery that has sometimes been named before coming into the world and as an impulse to the creative act, a sort of catalyst of the desire to form, colour, adorn...

Fluctuating between humour and causticity, the pieces’ names are either keywords or a play on words in order to defuse the influence of the subject. They translate the long learning of the mother tongue. Resistance, for example, evokes both the opposition and the constancy necessary for raising children, Tourner en bourrique (to be running around in circles) or keyhole makes it possible to turn the annoyances of everyday life into sweetness and laughter. These new creations celebrate the power of women and the strength of Love. 

The second original feature of the exhibition is to showcase a series of jewelry-portraits created following a long conversation between Agathe Saint Girons and a sponsor. A jewel that evokes the future owner’s personality, his or her life and achievements while keeping secret that which is not to be revealed.

The exhibition À TAAABLE- DINNNNER’S READYYYY!!! will go on a world tour to reiterate the experience dating back to 1996, when her exhibition Philtre d'Amour or the pangs of the life of a woman in love toured through 7 capital cities over a 2-year period that proved to be a healing journey.
