FILAF Award
best art book published by a gallery
We are proud and happy to have won the Filaf Prize for “Best Art Book Published by a Gallery” for our exhibition catalogue lindsay caldicott: x-ray memories, proclaimed at the Galeristes exhibition on Saturday 19 October 2019.
We sincerely thank each member of this year’s jury composed of Chris Dercon, president, Margit Rowell, Antoine de Galbert, Emmanuelle Pireyre, Théo Mercier and Johan Papaconstantino.
We dedicate this award to the memory of Lindsay and her family.
A radiographer by profession, it was during her psychiatric internment that Lindsay Caldicott began to produce her collages of a myriad of duplicated fragments, carved with a scalpel and assembled with surgical precision. Her fractal universe is of a chromatic harmony ranging from grey to blood colors and from golden brown nuances to flesh color. Shown for the first time in 2018 by the gallery, four years after her death, the artist’s work is now part of the musée français de la photographie and several collections: the Fondation Francès, abcd/Bruno Decharme (France), and Treger-Saint Silvestre (Portugal).
