100/100

100/100 is an installation conceived as a showroom within the lobby of SOMA and aims to emulate a stand at a book fair or bazaar. The pieces included in the showroom are produced during the exhibition’s duration, in a portable workshop-studio also set up in the lobby; in other words, 100/100 as a project oversees both the production of its pieces and their subsequent exhibition within the installation.

100/100 seeks to initiate a dialogue by concerning the following:

  • The symbolic value of the serial number of a produced piece, especially considering Coiffier’s pieces are all labeled 100/100.

  • The designs Coiffier uses are based on the premise of identifying herself as a female artist, contemplating the themes or situations that intersect her creative process and that of other female artists.

  • Understanding personal experience as a source of knowledge, and centering friendship, collaboration, reflection and mirroring as clichés we intentionally inhabit and self-reference.

  • Revealing what is involved in the production process of a piece or series of works.

  • Understanding that an art piece can be an object of everyday use.

  • SOMA, as a recognized venue for education and the dissemination of contemporary art in Mexico, as it relates to other forms and spaces of economic exchange, like those of book fairs and bazaars.
