Un confort sans fin, 2015
The exhibition Un confort sans fin is a critical archeology of Modernism. The symptoms of this supposed glorious past that achieved aesthetic breakthrough and technical innovations are rethinked in a crafty way in the sculptures, videos and paintings of the exhibition.
A truck loads seen on a highway in a canyon of the American West evoke a geometric painting lost in this so iconic landscape. The sculptures of the Rock Garden of Chandigarh, India, that are poor interpretations of the architectures by Le Corbusier, still provide a synthesis of modern technical progress.
Un confort sans fin quote and act like cheap appropriationistic practices of Modernism.
