The exhibition brings together a selection of pieces conceived from a single material: recycled copper. Rather than a finished collection of objects, the project is understood as an open investigation into the physical and expressive capacities of copper, pushed to its limits through artisanal processes.
Each piece results from a transformation: the copper is worked through fire and hammer, without industrial mediation. The hammer becomes both tool and language, and form emerges through the repetition of gestures that deform, tension, and stabilise the metal. In this process, idea, action, and material establish a direct and visible relationship.
Produced between Santa Clara del Cobre, Michoacán, and Valle de Chalco, Estado de México, the pieces position Manuel’s work within a contemporary practice in which tradition operates as an active tool. In this context, copper ceases to be a support to become the essence of the project.

“A gesture becomes a structure” is the starting point of Olivia Cognet’s exhibition, centered around a fountain. The fountain is not treated here as a symbol, but as something active, something that never fully settles. Water gathers for a moment, takes form, then immediately breaks apart again. It flows, spreads, disappears, and returns. There is no final image, only a continuous movement that keeps reshaping itself.
Made in black stoneware with fine chamotte, the fountain has a presence that feels almost geological. It sits somewhere between something ancient and something still alive. Water moves through it without hierarchy or direction, passing from one basin to another, overflowing and escaping the edges. Nothing is contained in a fixed way, everything remains in transition.
In the end, the gesture briefly becomes structure, and the structure immediately begins to dissolve again, returning to movement to something that cannot be held in place.

A propos
Objects With Narratives est une galerie pluridisciplinaire qui ne croit pas seulement à la fonction esthétique ou utilitaire des objets, mais aussi à l’histoire unique de chacun d’eux. Elle représente un groupe restreint d'artistes contemporains du monde entier - avec un focus sur la Belgique - qui se spécialisent dans les processus de fabrication centrés sur les matériaux, tout en revisitant des techniques traditionnelles de manière contemporaine. La galerie expose des objets réalisés sur commande, des éditions limitées, des pièces de collection uniques ainsi que des installations spécifiques. OWN propose un programme d'expositions dynamique et participe activement aux plus grandes foires d'art internationales telles que Art Basel, PAD et TEFAF.
