Alexandre Lavet develops a practice around the venues he exhibits in, mixing minimalism, contextual and conceptual art legacies.

His main focus is on contemporary art spaces and White Cube ideology in which he explores stories lying under exhibitions, playing mainly with ideas of emptiness, disappearance, laziness, passivity or idleness.

He makes use of facts and details that are relevant or specific to this type of space, making the audience more aware of its surroundings. Combining anecdotes from his personnal life and elementary artistic materials, he attempts to question the very notion of artwork and its aura.

By a wide use of replicas, he plays various paradoxes, mainly that of a laborious conception being able to be interpreted like vulgar apathetic ready-made, at the edge of the visible. This double game allows him to evaluate and bring out the critical notion of the spectators, to consider their senses and preconceived notions about what an exhibition can be.

His works are part of several international private and public collections such as moraes-barbosa in Brazil, Carlos Santana Pinto in Portugal, John Snijders in United Kingdom, Clermont Communauté in France, The EKARD collection and the Lisser Art Museum (LAM) in The Netherlands.
