Carte
blanche à Richard Fauguet
Among
the artists of his generation, Richard Fauguet is especially drawn
to reflections on the conventions and modalities that govern the
exhibition of forms and archetypes in modern and contemporary
art. He demonstrates a remarkable ability to select images and
objects which he then combines in associations which, as unlikely
as they may seem, ultimately seduce the visitor's eye and mind.
Here, he plays on all the elements that make up the château
- its architecture, furniture, decoration and history – to take
visitors on an original tour.
This
discovery is prolonged by a series of videos, including works
by Pierre Bismuth, Claude Closky, Pierre Joseph, Philippe Parreno
and Pipilotti Rist.
