"Using a Rembrandt like an ironing board Marcel Duchamp "
Jacques Villeglé - 2002
The bookshop is delighted to be able to show the public for the first time 8 slates by Jacques Villeglé created in 2002 during the development of his most imposing work, "Insoluble Memory"exhibition at the Centre Pompidou in 2008. A sort of schoolchildren's graffiti, calligraphed using his Alphabet Socio-Politique on 1950s slates made by Grosjean, these quotations from artists and writers have both a hieroglyphic and a naive character, first prompting decipherment and then astonishment, a smile and a playfulness. Come and discover the words borrowed from Marcel Duchamp, Nadja, André Breton, Jean Schuster, Octavio Paz, Gustave Flaubert, Paul Klee, Paul Tilman and Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux. These works were included in the catalogue of the 2003 exhibition at the Musée de Sainte Croix in Poitiers, Villeglé - Socio-Political Alphabet. Distributed to the exhibition staff, the artist and the publisher, these prints were never offered for sale.

Works on paper & unique books
from 2 May to 7 June 2024
Fascinated by the shimmering, rhythmic and colour-varying effects of paper confetti, Julie Guériaux developed a unique hybrid technique in the early 2010s that simultaneously captures the multiple impressions of a confetti throw. Successive inking creates 'fields' of shimmering, sizzling light and near-sound, subtle chromatic variations on paper sculpted by colour. The artist will also be presenting unique books created for the exhibition, refined colour charts that encapsulate all her research.
