Francois Mazabraud

De Roussan gallery, Paris

In his work, walls become pages, districts become chapters and the City of Light transforms into an open book.


comunicato stampa

"Permuting the order of references, tipping the margin into the text and the periphery into the center… This is what seems to link all the latest works by François Mazabraud, an artist known for his expertise in juxtaposing symbols, temporalities and heterogeneous spaces.

Thus, during your Parisian wanderings, head down, busy writing a text message on your smartphone or mesmerized by the pages of a book, you may spot a reference to a publication tagged at the bottom of a wall. 1. Marc Partouche, La Lignée oubliée, Ed. Al Dante, p. 159 / Rue Dauphine, 2. Michel Butor, La Modification, Ed. 10/18, p. 203 / Rue Racine, 3. Balzac, Le Colonel Chabert, Ed. Livre de poche, p. 85/ Rue Daniel Casanova, etc. By following these references, you will uncover a scene which is set in one of the streets of the capital; if you go there, another reference will lead you to yet another address, and so it continues. This route, a kind of treasure hunt, was started in 2012 by François Mazabraud, where walls become pages, districts become chapters and the City of Light transforms into an open book. Thus, the asphalt and stone stratify stories and narratives, while the past is revised to vivify and intensify the present. (…)"
