The True Artist
Collective show by Damien Airault, with Véronique Dutilly, Heather and Ivan Morison, Giorgio Sadotti, Paul Tarragó and Emily Wardill
September 27 - October 25, 2008
Galerie de la Friche, Friche la Belle de Mai, 13003 Marseille
Starting with a work by Giorgio Sadotti attempting to define the “true artist” through 50 rather arbitrary assertions, the exhibition The True Artist reexamines the role the artist assigns to themselves in our society and the role society assigns to them in return. It considers the elements the artist first encounters: other artists, their various inspirations, their Masters, and their whims.
