MATRIX - INDUSTRIAL AESTHETICS IN AUCTIONS

<"font-size:21.0pt">Industrial Art - Contemporary Art
Following the double exhibition "Matrix" which was held near Rouen from May to July 2019, SEQUANA was commissioned by SHED, Centre d'art contemporain de Normandie, which was at the origin of this exhibition, to disperse all the pieces included in the exhibition by public auction.

After almost 130 years of activity in Maromme (Seine-Maritime), the company SENARD FONDERIE MÉCANIQUE has left behind an impressive stock of wooden parts: prototypes and moulds that the SHED team and artists have undertaken to save and then exhibit. Thanks to a donation from the owner of the site, logistical support from the town of Maromme and the help of volunteers, SHED undertook between February and April 2019 the recovery of these objects, their inventory and cleaning, with the aim of preserving these witnesses of a past industry.

It all started with the discovery of these models, matrices or prototypes. They are wooden objects, carefully finished, often separable into two parts that can be perfectly fitted together and most of them painted or silver-plated.
The richness of their variety is due to the very large number of clients who have had elements with extremely diverse functions and destinations melted at SENARD.


SEQUANA is delighted to offer to the curiosity of as many people as possible and to the covetousness of collectors all of these unique pieces!
