ANTIMATIÈRE

Curated by SIZED for the inaugural edition of CONTRIBUTIONS, Antimatière presented a focused body of new work by Studio HAOS alongside selected pieces by Omer Arbel, Rich Aybar, and Katerina Jebb. Staged during Paris Art and Design Week, the exhibition explored material austerity and sculptural intent through a dialogue of form and process. Studio HAOS introduced eight new works constructed entirely from 40 x 40 aluminium tubing and zinc sheet, a deliberate departure from mechanised production and ornamental craft. The reductive framework foregrounded material and method as vehicles for philosophical and formal investigation. The installation was complemented by Omer Arbel’s 71, a suspended electrochemical sculpture; Rich Aybar’s resin forms addressing corporeal abstraction; and Katerina Jebb’s large-scale photographic prints, derived from high-resolution scans of culturally resonant objects. Set within a restrained environment, Antimatière framed these works in a shared vocabulary of discipline, abstraction, and contemporary ritual, extending SIZED’s curatorial practice into the fabric of Paris’ art and design landscape.
