Michel Blazy
Le Grand Restaurant
20 September – 18 November 2012
at Le Plateau, Paris
Curated by Xavier Franceschi
Michel Blazy works with modest, perishable materials, coming from everyday life, and shows us some of the strange, sumptuous and monstrous things that they can contain. The live matter which he chooses for his works carries in it the potential mutations and deteriorations which make his art an ephemeral one, or, more exactly put, an art involving continual change. Michel Blazy likes to observe things, and he also lets time do its work on matter. The playful experiments he carries out, on natural materials as much as on artificial ones, form a eulogy to decomposition, an ode to matter’s capacity to transform things, and the continual renewal of the cycle of things living . Each one of his works has a time-frame that is peculiar to it, and the notions of slowness and chance lie at the core of the process of artistic creation. [read the full text here]
