Peripheral Vision, on view five major projects created between 2004 and 2013
The exhibition 'Peripheral Vision' tackles scientific riddles in order to playfully subvert concepts in astronomy and offer clues to understanding the universe. Waldvogel is a conceptual artist who deals with humanity as a species, on a planet and in the universe. He believes that understanding the "world" as such, and having a real sense of its properties and character as a sphere orbiting a star, enables us to achieve the sense of context necessary to become truly global citizens. His work could be defined both as a toolkit for a reality-checkup, and as a poetic extension of humanity's urge to expand both knowledge and territory. At the FRAC he will be showing five major projects created between 2004 and 2013. This solo exhibition is presented within the framework of the project If you find this world bad... which also features a survey of the famous International Science Fiction Festival in Metz (1976-1986) by art critic Helene Meisel, and artworks by Claire Morel and Jean-Jacques Dumont.
