review revue & Corrigée

Pour son numéro 88 , le magazine trimestriel Revue & Corrigée
se transforme en une carte blanche offerte à plus de 80 personnes liées
de près ou de loin aux pratiques expérimentales dont il se fait l’écho
depuis plus de 20 ans.
Un hommage au Do-It-Yourself.

Installation, cut and print cardboard, steel frame, variable dimensions

The area of technical reproducibility opens a way to a sacralised relation to the art piece and its mass consumption.
Disincarnation of an alleged original “aura” of the “master-work” in the industrial serialisation of its artefacts. Here, puzzles of master pieces are broken up to their very pieces, and lined up according to the reading order and reset on empty metallic frames.
Stocking of fragmentary data of a passed history devoted to art, the slices recall the graphic bars compacted into hard disks, getting rid of its obsolete memories as time goes by. The rhythmic formulas cut the space into virtual continuums, as a kind of digital landscape to monochrome variations.
From a certain point of view, a visual frontier appears, creating an irisation effect sometimes interrupted by the possibility to pass in between the lines.

Sculpture, steel tubes, pvc, variable dimensions

Converted into modules, SeQ-L plastic caps pile up and proliferate from upper grounds to undergrounds, usurping the space.
Composed like a sample, the art piece draws rhythmic curves leaking into the building. The installation links the infinitely small to the infinitely large, plays with the tensions between waves and particles, and revisits physics : DNA branches or string theory.
The title refers to the idea of trauma in line with the molecular memory, a trouble caused by an accident.
