Waywords of seeing

Le Plateau, Paris

The exhibition considers the viewer's gaze - in and out of the field of perception - through a prism of drifting words: the random mapping of places, the visual transcription of a sonic and electric realm, the archaeology of images and circumstances which have been reconstituted and transformed. The Window Display features the group show 'Abstraction(s)'.

Taking its name from a title-statement by Dan Walsh, Waywords of Seeing considers the viewer’s gaze – in and out of the field of perception – through a prism of drifting words: the random mapping of places, the visual transcription of a sonic and electric realm, the archaeology of images and circumstances which have been reconstituted and transformed. Waywords of Seeing creates negative space to be discovered through the “vehicles” conceived by Dan Walsh: they offer an investigation of the field of perception through the exploration of the distance separating the work of art and the viewer – creating in the process a multitude of points of view of and about the exhibition.

A multiplication of vision through different experiences repositions the body in relation to its image on scientific, psychological and narrative levels. Waywords of Seeing both questions and conditions the gaze via a succession of filters, ultimately forming exhibitions within the exhibition.

The Window Display
Abstraction(s)
11.06 - 29.06.14

With works by Karina Bisch, Philippe Decrauzat, François Morellet, Véra Pagava and Luis Tomasello

Systematic successions of coloured strokes (François Morellet),
a broadcast of the waves of the first observed pulsar (Philippe Decrauzat),
relief monochrome painting (Luis Tomasello),
abstract architectural forms created from thick layers of paint (Karina Bisch),
an informal homage to Suprematism (Véra Pagava).

The works in this exhibition, which were chosen from the collection of the FRAC, revolve loosely around geometric abstraction.
