Are you looking for PU$$Ybilities?
In this second iteration of Pussybilities, Anne-Lise Coste transforms the gallery space into a field of . The project first unfolded in the architecture of a castle turned Contemporary Art Museum of Haute-Vienne and now reappears in Ellen de Bruijne PROJECTS in a new configuration. This movement from one site to another mirrors the logic of the work itself. Nothing is fixed. Images travel. Objects shift position. Meanings are constantly recomposed.
Across the installation, clothing, photographs, collages, printed textiles and neon words create a loose landscape of images and signs. At first glance the space looks almost casual. T-shirts hang on structures, garments appear folded or suspended, photographs show groups of bodies, and collaged figures emerge from cut paper. But slowly another structure appears. The exhibition becomes a stage where bodies circulate even when they are not physically present.
In Anne-Lise Coste’s world, the exhibition space becomes something close to a dance floor for images. Bodies appear, disappear, fragment and recombine. And somewhere between fabric, paper and neon, new pussybilities begin to take shape.
Born in 1973 in Marignane, south of France, Anne-Lise Coste lives and works in Paris. Since the 1990s her practice has moved freely between painting, collage, photography, text, installation and everyday materials. Coste’s work grows out of an intuitive and often urgent way of making, where language, images and objects collide. Her work has recently been the subject of solo exhibitions at Musée d’art contemporain de la Haute-Vienne – Château de Rochechouart (2025), Kiasma in (2025), the Kunsthaus Baselland in Basel (2022), the URDLA in Villeurbanne (2021), the Dortmunder Kunstverein (2020), and the CRAC Occitanie in Sète (2019). Her work is included in the collections of the Centre National des Arts Plastiques in Paris, the MRAC in Sérignan, the FRAC Corse, Ile-de-France and Pays de la Loire, the MACBA in Barcelona, the Migros Museum in Zurich, and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.
