Collective show with Victoire Barbot, Pierre Boggio, Julie Michel and Luca Resta
May 5 - June 5, 2016, public opening on Saturday, May 7, from 7PM
Galerie de la Salle des Machines, Friche la Belle de Mai, 13003 Marseille
As part of the Festival Printemps de l’art contemporain.
The exhibition brings together the latest works by four artists currently in residence at Astérides.
Fortunate Coincidences refers both to the context of the exhibition—artists sharing the same residency period at Astérides—and to the working principles of the featured artists. Regardless of the nature of their works, each of them begins with a form of collection. This foundation emerges from chance encounters, movements, and shifting contexts.
Each artist, in their own way, gathers, collects, reproduces, and assembles objects, materials, forms, and sounds. Their collections range from the natural to the domestic, from the sculptural to the ephemeral, and become the building blocks of their work.
The exhibition unfolds as a meeting ground, shaped by the juxtaposition of mobile sculptures and moments of delicate balance. It is also heard—through unique sound collections, played continuously or activated during performances.
