The recent display of the collections of Musée Macval asks a question : how do visual artists tell stories? Do they lend a voice to materials and objects, do they create complex installations to reshape society’s narratives, do they require the visitor to finish the stories themselves?
And gives as many possible answers as artists in the show. –
Among many others, #jeanlucvilmouth, Bar Seduire, 1997-2004, detail of an installation that uses screens, lamps, videos and the unexpected jump of disgust to interrogate the production of desire today.
