Matthieu Laurette - Lot 89

Matthieu Laurette Random (Demix) 48 pages, paperback, dust jacket Numbered 78 from an edition of 285 + current edition "L'art en écrit", 2015. Editions Janninck Format: 125 x 210 mm Attached is a one-of-a-kind work (one-dollar bill raised in marker and signed). Note: Since his appearance in "Tournez Manège", Matthieu Laurette (b. 1970 in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, lives and works in Paris) has multiplied his artistic events and established himself as a major multimedia artist on the contemporary scene. Television, video, installation and intervention in public spaces are just some of the media he uses to comment on and question the social and economic environment of which he and others are the products. Matthieu Laurette's Random (Demix) is a self-citation of statements about art and extracts from his interviews over the past twenty years, which he arranges randomly. For the artist, the selection and staging of his statements constitutes a form of rewriting, offering everyone a guide to reading his artistic work. A one-of-a-kind piece of artwork (a signed, marker-embellished dollar bill) is included in the front cover.
