Gelatin
Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris - MAM, Paris
La Louvre - Paris consists of over three thousand works by gelatin and their vast and growing entourage. Paintings, sculptures, drawings, knittwork, materials ranging from caramel to wool, from cheese to toilet paper. Classic greek landscapes, portraits, furniture, lamps, jewellery, pottery, a joyously irreverent creation of an enormous, chaotic, proliferating universe, searching for a logic structure.
The ARC programme for 2008 begins with a real event: the total takeover of its entire space by GELaTIN and all the extravagant, zany and bohemian individuals, gelatin calls on to contribute to its works. After GELaTINs flamboyant appearance at the last Biennale di Venezia and their controversial contribution to Le Printemps de Septembre à Toulouse, they have finally arrived in the city of love to present their show “La Louvre - Paris”.
