Claude Closky

Newspaper kiosk MPK, Luxembourg

The Fondation continues its pre-opening programme "Be the Artists' Guest"

Bla-bla
The Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean presents Bla-bla - a work by French artist Claude Closky installed in the old newspaper kiosk MPK, in downtown Luxembourg, Place de Bruxelles (avenue Marie-Thérèse with Pont Adolphe). From January 15, until January 2004.

'An enigmatic dialogue is displayed in bright letters: 'the timetable is under high surveillance', 'I hate people being late', 'They take away your life'... A monument to nonsense, Bla-bla (title of the work), has been especially conceived by Claude Closky for public spaces. Here his work consists in repeting stories endlessly to the point of transforming them into a simple pattern, emptied of all content. Bla-bla is a compilation of highlighted sentences printed in magazines ranging from the interviews of celebreties to the letters to the editor by unknown authors. The outcome is four and a half hours of language going around in circles, with no content, but not without effect. (...)'
Nelly Kaprièlian, in 'Un train de retard', les Inrockuptibles n°187, 24 février - 2 mars 1999.
