Passage du temps

"Spread over 6000m2, this exhibition showcased artistic techniques using photography, video, and light. It focuses on the contemporary history of these techniques with six themes being featured: Bedazzle, The Seventies, Shall we play?, Cinema Stories, Living And Surviving, Passage of Time. The themes chosen were a way of looking at the production of artists who have worked within this medium over the past forty years, whilst in no way wishing to be exhaustive. The exhibition focused on contemporary history, with a period which has called into question the very notion of the work of art and even of the identity of the artist. Moving from the minimalist and conceptual period, the notion of the object and the materials used by artists have been re-invented. Thoughts have become objects of art, whether these be the thoughts of the artist or those of the visitor experiencing the work. The visitor is no longer just a spectator, but rather the actor of the work"--Gallery website.
