Tracé Bleu: a look back in pictures at the latest exhibition at Centquatre-Paris
Follow the color. The Centquatre-Paris unveils Tracé bleu, a strange laboratory of the future made of colored blocks of various sizes and shapes, assembled together by the unpredictable Dutch artist Krijn de Koning. Famous for his in situ installations around the world, this former student of Daniel Buren appropriates the space of the great hall by creating here a tailor-made architectural work.
Behind this immense colorful portal, awaits you a somewhat disconcerting collective exhibition where the offbeat and childish drawings of Serge Bloch - the mischievous father of Max and Lili - meet the disturbing works of three committed video artists. Scattered fragments of their universe gathered in one place.
The young Adriàn Sosa delivers here a video performance of both extreme simplicity and formidable efficiency, filming himself on a lost road in Argentina, while Jonathas de Andrade observes through his lens a tiny fishing village in the Nordeste Brazilian. Joanie Lemercier immerses us in a nature under siege by human activity by denouncing the ecological disaster currently occurring in the Hambach forest in Germany, little known to most of us.
Each of these films resonates here and dialogues with the project models, showing new trajectories for tomorrow. Already presented in Venice, this traveling and evolving exhibition tends a little more each day towards a better, sober and environmentally friendly future.
I want to go see the exhibition!
