'The Plaster' or 'Le Gypse' is composed of twenty tons of powdered plaster derived from the temporary exhibition spaces that, until now, occupied - and concealed - the rooms of the former Casino Bourgeois, built in the nineteenth century. Those white cubes have been demolished and pulverised, leaving only their raw material: plaster. The artist confronts us with an architecture reduced to its mere construction material and now dialoguing with the space that enveloped it for more than twenty years.
