THE PROJECT<\/p>\n
UPDATE is a tour of monumental sculptures in public spaces produced by the Gilles Treuil Endowment Fund in partnership with the Faubourg Saint-Honor\u00e9 Committee and organized by Nicolas Couturieux and David-Herv\u00e9 Boutin (L\u2019Art dans la ville).<\/p>\n
Designed in 2012 by RERO in collaboration with St\u00e9phane Parain, this series of busts is once again being reborn. Produced for the occasion in XXL format, it takes over three emblematic places in the center of Paris and puts their history and evolution into perspective.<\/p>\n
The creation of each of the works follows the same principle: the confrontation between the aesthetic codes of classical statuary and a set of terms borrowed from digital culture, written in capital letters and crossed out with a line. For the artist, whose work has been probing contemporary contradictions and paradoxes for over ten years, this juxtaposition of two eras and two modes of representation, one material, the other immaterial, invites us to measure the evolution of techniques.<\/p>\n
UPDATE also allows us to grasp the architecture of contemporary power: its staging in the classical age through statuary and urban planning is followed by its contemporary organization in the form of hypertext, keywords, computer codes and algorithms.
