Programme
Mégane Brauer, Kings of the world
‘Les Rois du monde is a solo exhibition by Mégane Brauer produced for the [mac]room and conceived as the second part of her exhibition Cry me a river at the Musée Transitoire in Paris in 2023. A cycle of critical thought and commitment to the daily social struggles that the terribly indelible memories of children and young adults raise through the violence of their visual, aural and sensitive impacts’ (Marie de Gaulejac).
Her work focuses on class issues, transforming working-class objects and situations, giving them the space they don't have. Her works are models of amplified memories, moving back and forth between poetic writing and plastic reality, reconstructing and adding fiction to retranscription.
With the Ateliers d'artistes de la Ville de Marseille and in collaboration with
Triangle-Astérides, centre d'art contemporain d'intérêt national and artists' residence, Marseille.
Anita Molinero, Plastic Butcher
The Plastic Butcher exhibition is designed as an encounter with Anita Molinero's manifest and unpublished works from 1998 to the present day, as well as with the [mac] collection. The works are arranged in a non-chronological sequence, based on a principle of visual, formal and fictional correspondences.
In the 1980s, Anita Molinero created her first sculptures in a grunge spirit. Her ‘pavement structures’, made from poor salvaged materials - cardboard, foam, food packaging and industrial waste gleaned from the street - evoke precariousness and fragility. A few years later, quite logically, she turned her attention to the contents of rubbish bins, and not just their containers. At the end of the 1990s, she turned her attention to the rubbish bin as a piece of street furniture serving the community, charged with a subversive and symbolic dimension. The story of this exhibition begins as this transition takes place.
