Galerie Mica is exhibiting a series of objects by matali crasset which have never been seen before. The combination of artisan-designer on which the galerie Mica is staking as a future promise is therefore continuing with the invitation from this major design centre whose awareness of know-how has already been expressed in a number of collaborative projects.
matali crasset, infrason ≠01, L. 170 x D.395 cm Sycamore, lacquer, galerie Mica
Bowls, vases, tidies? Shaped like a loudspeaker, loudhailer or a foghorn, these objects mischievously shy away from their status, juggling between use and representation, compelling whoever takes it up to think about what he will do with it, and this is already an invitation to reinvent the world.
the artistic actualization this installation is seen in the initial tension of silence, then alleviated by the sounds of marchal's interpretation of the frozen instruments. marchal creates the aural environment for the installation, a Performed readings.
his piece brings to life the sculptural works as he assigns an alternate experiential aspect to the seemingly soundless loudspeaker or foghorn. the sounds he created were contingent upon the visual field. the object functions as the catalyst for the soundscape, which was produced to enhance the understanding of the initial object.
