2/4 Flea Market

Show & Culture

Born in Madrid in 1997, Javier Carro Temboury is a sculptor whose practice combines found objects, craftsmanship, and participatory protocols. Based in Paris since 2015, he graduated from the Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2021 with honors. The "2/4 Flea Market" project takes the form of an installation composed of life-size flea market stands. A jagged line runs through the space and strictly divides it into four quarters, cutting through tables and objects that are deliberately left incomplete. This boundary suggests a tension within the piece, between two quarters filled with an accumulation of objects typical of such markets and two quarters left empty, revealing a radical friction between the museal and commercial space.
