Al Kimiya - tentative de reconstruction totémique
followed by a dégustation vivante, sur proposition de l'artiste.
It’s already tomorrow. Our remains, metallic rainbows, shimmer on the liquid surface. Mutation of that environment is constant. Growing, shrinking and shifting, like those concrete beaches, artificial landscapes, Ruins of our contemporary condition.
Facing stronger and faster ecological changes, natural landscapes are being redefined, augmented or supplemented by artificial and synthetic artifices, through discording projects, raging against decline.
What are we dreaming about?
The exhibition CONCRETE BEACHES, ARTIFICIAL LANDSCAPES is a speculative scenario, a fictional odyssée of our common future. It brings the object and the artwork at the center of that slick reverie. Taking as a departure fantasy the collection of novels of J.G Ballard, Vermillon Sands (1973), the exhibition triggers the imagination through some ecstatic narratives. Agitated plants, peculiar devices, and abstract paintings all participate in expanding our narrowed vision of our current reality.
