Apocalypse Please
For his third solo show - entitled Apocalypse Please - at the gallery, Fabien
Verschaere designs a new installation, Last Dinner, a personal version of
the Last Supper, that is made of 13 characters who strangely look alike,
between religious references and a new eugenics.
"Apocalypse Please, says the artist, is the explanation of the real facing
our world's utopia. The microcosm produced by our own thought can lead to
universality, through story-telling. Why entrust anyone with the lessons
learnt through our own experiences when everything that is material is now
affordable? Spirituality only can help us keep our feet to the ground, like
a forbidden experiment, a come-back towards the infinite."
This new project doubles the artist's solo show at Musée d'Art Contemporain
de Lyon, Seven Days Hotel (until April 29.)
At this occasion, the museum will publish a monography with texts by Paul
Ardenne and Jérôme Sans (April 2007, 120 pp.)
Verschaere will also have a solo show at the Baltic Center for Contemporary
Art in May 2007.
He showed his works at Palais de Tokyo (2003 and 2006), the Lyon Biennial
(2005), Guangdong Contemporary Art Museum (2005), the Prague Biennial
(2005), Musée Sainte-Croix des Sables d¹Olonne (2006), Museo Pecci in Prato,
Italy (2004), Centre de Création Contemporaine Tours (2002) and the Montreal
Biennial (2002).
