KUNSTHALLE, CENTRE D’ART CONTEMPORAIN, MULHOUSE (FR)
Reading Salons
On loan from the Frac Lorraine Collection:
Jan Mancuska, While I Walked… In my studio in ISCP, 323W 39th Street #811, New York, 2003
Studies, reports, stories, graphic research, books: so many genres that call forth the written word and make up an entire branch of Contemporary Art. The intention of this exhibition lies not in the exhaustive enumeration of these forms, but rather aims to reflect on their diversity and characteristics. All evoke the same parameters: an essential physical relationship with the work (touching, as much as is possible, the works), an accentuated state of concentration (reading) and an invitation to readers to take their time (the time to read). This exhibition awaits them, offers them a break that promises a feeling of well-being.
