Incredible show….Bernard Piffaretti, Passage à la ligne, Exhibition view, Galerie Frank Elbaz, Paris, France. “For Piffaretti, the title usually functions as a kind of opening credit and passage (à la ligne) is no different. A painting from 1982, from the series Paradigme - Peinture du doute, 1982-1983, in which the central axis slowly takes shape, is a case in point. A large painting from 1999 is placed in between paintings from 2016, a brief punctuation, which shows that the passage in question is also a continuum. The past always remains unfinished, turning the present into a future memory. Bernard Piffaretti’s last solo exhibitions, No Chronology at Klemm’s in Berlin in 2016 and MovingPictures at Cherry and Martin in Los Angeles in 2015, all followed the leitmotif of the passage, transforming the viewers themselves into cultural mediators.”—exhibition textSee more at http://www.galeriefrankelbaz.com/ -- source link
