On February 13th and March 2nd 2014 – From 6 to 7 p.m.
Something Less, Something More, an innovative exhibition focusing on the live collections of the Centre national des arts plastiques, considers the writing of the exhibition and its deconstruction while reformulating the show as an exercise: the role of the artist and that of the public are challenged. Thus it is constructed by the bodies that pass through it: those of the artists, the public and fortuitous passers-by, who activate the artworks and bring them to life.
There are a good many performanceson the program, among them : Holy water ice cubes by Mounir Fatmi.
For the official opening and the final day, Mounir Fatmi (b. 1970, lives and works between Paris, Tangiers and Los Angeles) intends to serve cocktails with ice cubes of holy water, based on individual choice of course. His work reflects committed thinking about all forms of power. In the form of videos, installations, drawings, paintings or sculptures with a broad visual potential, this artist’s work draws attention to the accidents of our world, the high density of the flow of information, and all forms of contemporary violence (religious indoctrination, prejudices, commercial domination, and absurdities of a contemporary society that lacks vigilance, etc.)
This event is free with a ticket entrance of the exhibition, no registration required.
