Betty Bui
Born in 1967, lives and works in Paris, France
Betty Bui’s work questions several spaces all at once: the physical space of architecture and the immaterial space of motif and image. Her sculptures or, more precisely, her “constructions” with their motifs borrowed from architecture (windows, doors, chairs, benches) call our perceptive habits into question. She upsets ratios of scale, multiplies and erases vanishing points, and blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior, private and public.
Betty Bui studied at the School of Fine Arts in Saint-Etienne, and in Barcelona. Her career has been staked out by several solo shows. She took part in the Rayon Frais in Tours (2008) and in the Lou Tempo Festival at Saint-Leu on Reunion Island (2009).
