Indepth Arts News: "Didier Courbot" 2007-05-05 until 2007-06-16 Susan Hobbs Gallery Toronto, ON, CA Canada
In each instance, Courbot translates the act of observation into a work, as he did in his needs series, a series of photographs that documented the artist making improvements to a particular environment – painting the lines of a crosswalk in Rome, planting flowers at the side of the highway in Saint Jean- Port Joli, replacing the missing plank of a bench seat in Prague, and so on.
Paris-based Didier Courbot was born in Hazebrouck (Nord), France in 1967, and studied at the Ecole regionale des Beaux-Arts in Dunkerque. His work has been broadly exhibited throughout the world, including solo exhibitions at Scai The Bathhouse (Tokyo); Fondation Cartier (Paris), and Villa Medicis (Rome). He has also been included in numerous group exhibitions, among them, P.S.1 (New York, 1997), Miro Fondation (Barcelona, 1998), Yokohama Triennale (Japan, 2005), Musée Zadkine (Paris) and Kunstverein Freiburg (Germany, 2006), and recently Conceptual Romanticism, Bewag Foundation, Vienna curated by Jorg Heiser.
