LE TEMPS: Avec Alighiero BOETTI, Christian BOLTANSKI, Marina GADONNEIX, Jean-Olivier HUCLEUX, On KAWARA, Hans OP DE BEECK, Roman OPALKA, Hiroshi SUGIMOTO

« Art is long and life is short ».

À la recherche du temps perdu, Le Temps retrouvé.
Marcel Proust

The artists brought together in this show are at the heart of this biographical enterprise. But far from any navel-gazing futility, what ties them all to one another and is deeply rooted in their work is their relationship to time, and more precisely its obsessional nature. Time as a « life project » Opalka would say. A complete surrender. Thus, the works of On Kawara, Jean-Olivier Hucleux, Hans Op de Beeck, Roman Opalka, Marina Gadonneix, Hiroshi Sugimoto or Alighieri Boetti, gathered here together, tell the story of the passage of time, of course, but mostly of the time spent working.
