Theodore Fivel

Le commissariat, Paris

Illuminati Hall. Theodore Fivel is a mystic with no god, or rather a mystic who adores every god in an extraordinary syncretism. Thus his displays - from performance to installation passing by cabaret directing - deal with a passionate devoutness. They borrow randomly from Egyptian myths, beliefs in UFOs, Voodoo, and, Roman Catholicism and, for example, psychedelic Inca sacrifices. However a formal failure is close. Because the work can be unstable or improvised. Then the style recalls a decadence 'fin-de-siecle', with no clear references, that has lost its confidence in history and its stigmatas, haunted by the paranoid idea of an imminent apocalypse (a collaboration with Le Confort Moderne, Poitiers). Opening reception Saturday 20 March at 6.30pm.
