“En ton absence,
vois-tu, les choses
devenaient encore
plus claires qu’elles
nel’étaient sous le
feu de ton regard gai.”
– Alain Jouffroy
Curated by:
Magalí Arriola.
Sunset Décor:
Recalls this late
work of Marcel
Broodthaers and
its wide range of
cultural and political
references to the
social context of
its time, including
the declining genre
of Western movies
of the late 1960’s
and the uncertain
ending of the
Vietnam War.
“At a time when
populations, cultures
and the environment
are fighting to resist
conservative thinking
and political assault,
Sunset Décor puts
into perspective the
instrumentalization,
now as then, of
nature, the individual
and the land for the
production of a
symbolic order in
the name of
freedom, civilization
and democracy.”
