61 FRAGMENTS OF DECAY FOR NEW DESIRES JOËL ANDRIANOMEARISOA

BURO STEDELIJK STEDELIJK MUSEUM, AMSTERDAM

New solo project by Joël Andrianomearisoa presented at the Buro Steelijk Museum in Amsterdam.

 
"At the beginning each painting will be almost virgin.
Black lines on the new playground.
Every day each painting will be sprayed with one perfume chosen from the library of fragrances.
The idea is to create from the decomposition of the perfume and the painting a new visual aspect of hopes and desires.
The audience will deal with the evolution of all the installation and again from dirt we can create beauty and from decay we can built peace."
 

Falling, crumbling, rotting and decomposing so as to grow. What are the ethics we bring to concepts of preservation and decay? We nourish and flourish through embracing the discomfort of decay. Decay as the fruitful ground upon which we stand. The ongoing process of decay, of rebuilding and blossoming. Matter changes, time changes. We embrace the discomfort of the unknown and the experiment, and observe what grows. Death not as the end but rather as the precursor of life. Through this notion of decay, we want to reimagine and reorient the institution. Decay in this respect could provoke discomfort, but it is precisely this feeling of discomfort that we wish to encourage people to become more comfortable with.

 

Curator : Azu Nwagbogu and Rita Ouédrago
