The artist Marc Camille Chaimowicz moved to England in 1955, when he was eight. The Second World War was over, and his Polish Jewish father and French Catholic mother relocated from the French capital to London. And yet France never really left Chaimowicz. He studied the writings of Gustave Flaubert, Jean Genet, and Marguerite Duras, and looked to Bonnard, Vuillard, and Cocteau for inspiration. Since the 1970s, Chaimowicz has created installations and objects that sit steadfastly on the boundary between art and design. The themes of this exhibition are intimacy and domesticity. —Elena Clavarino
