Programme
Roulé-Lavé, Won Jy
The exhibition looks at the various experiments that Won Jy, a visual artist from South Korea, has carried out around the modification of matter. We see the artist going up rivers to look for the source of the water and therefore of the shape of the stones he collects. We also see him appropriating the patterns on the stones to reprint them on blocks of rubble. Won Jy also works on the issue of welcoming and considering foreigners within a given territory. He explores the metaphor of pigeonophobia to talk about the way in which architecture can welcome or exclude, often at the whim of collective decisions. Won Jy's works are often tinged with a subtle humour, combining complex issues with light, poetic forms.
Plastik, Mar Garcia Albert
Plastik addresses both ecology and feminism. The use of recycled or diverted materials reflects a desire to point out environmental emergency. The work dialogues with feminist figures such as Faith Ringgold and Lee Lozano, who challenged patriarchal art history. Mar García Albert nurtures creation with a feminist heritage and collective reflection. Here, he takes inspiration from Matisse's L'Atelier rouge (1911) and revisits this approach by replacing traditional supports with laminated canvases protected by PET, an industrial material associated with planned obsolescence.
