From the corner of the eye
Galerie Schleicher+Lange, Paris
The extra-infra-ordinary. The exhibition prompts spectators to reflect on background noise, the subliminal, background, the rest, the ambient and what we perceive out of the corner of our eye. Certain of the pieces take perception to its limits, relying on a sixth sense and making it palpable.
The exhibition "From the corner of the eye - the extra-infra-ordinary" prompts
spectators to reflect on background noise, the subliminal, residue, background, the
rest, the ambient and what we perceive out of the corner of our eye. Certain of the
pieces take perception to its limits, relying on a sixth sense and making it
palpable.
Through a heritage of experiences of the infra-thin and infra-ordinary, which we owe
to Marcel Duchamp and Georges Perec, we are seduced by the epiphany of the domestic
or the banal. The artists invited to participate derive the very matter of their
work from the ordinary or the habitual: the sound of nature, the empty cinema
screen, a glass of wine, a domestic commodity.
