1100 Florence Gallery is thrilled to host art, new books and an installation by artist Cécile Trentini, April 8 - 25, 2022.

Photo Books

In the 49 works of the Dai­ly Walk­ing se­ries I have processed over 3,000 pho­tos. My per­son­al 100 fa­vorites are unit­ed in this book, arranged in 50 com­ple­men­tary or con­trast­ing pairs.

Next Level Recycling #10dayproject

This pop up exhibit is up for 10 days, in conjunction with Evanston Made’s Art for Earth month, and features a daily art-making performance by Trentini. Each day, at a designated time, Cécile will walk from her home to the gallery and look for and pick up one piece of garbage. She will arrive at the gallery with the found object in hand, and using the silhouette of the shape, will create a series of drawings. Each day the drawings will be placed in the gallery windows with the found object on display.

Artist Statement

I sew, I dye, I print, I walk, I take pho­tos, I col­lect, I cro­chet, I stitch, I draw…

I de­sign and dis­card, I plan pre­cise­ly and de­cide in­tu­itive­ly, I work in large and small for­mats, I love the rhythm of re­­pe­ti­tions and ex­plore the di­ver­si­ty of vari­a­tions, I de­fine rules of the game and play with serendip­i­ty, I work with va­­­lu­able ma­te­ri­als and with every­day ob­jects...- Cécile Trentini
