THIRD BORN is pleased to present a solo booth by Loucia Carlier within the fair’s Projects Section booth A10. Carlier’s presentation stands as an extension of her Cheap Dreams series, developed during her residency at La Becque in Switzerland. Works on view explore the ambivalence between imagination and conditioning, shifting away from strictly domestic interiors toward transitional environments, including waiting rooms, storefront displays, deserted commercial spaces, and sites of passage. Within frames or box-like enclosures, images, alternately silkscreened or drawn from photographs, coexist with constructed forms. Molded leather, faux leather, tubular and perforated elements evoke fragments of architecture or furniture, reduced to a miniature scale. 

Loucia Carlier (b. 1992, Paris) received her BA and MA in Visual Arts from ECAL (École cantonale d’art de Lausanne) in 2015 and 2017. She was awarded the Révélation Emerige Prize in 2020 and has been in residence at Villa Belleville (2023), Cité internationale des arts (2024), and La Becque (2019; 2025). Recent exhibitions include: Crossing the Chasm, THIRD BORN, Mexico City (2025); Effets indésirables, New Galerie, Paris (2025); Artocène Biennale, Saint-Gervais-Mont-Blanc (2025); PAR-A-FRA-SE, Heroine, Frankfurt (2024); Le Nouveau Printemps de Toulouse (2024); Lunulae, CAC Brétigny (2023); 67ème Salon de Montrouge (2023); Genitoculture, Forde, Geneva (2022); Make It Up!, Ateliers de la Ville de Marseille (2022); and Your Friends and Neighbors, High Art, Paris (2019).
