Jorge Pedro NUNEZ – Entre Machine et moi Machin

12.06 – *.11 / 2014
Galerie Crèvecoeur, Paris

For his third solo show at Galerie Crèvecoeur, Jorge Pedro Núñez presents an abstract landscape, between sculpture and in-situ installation, composed by geometric figures human-scale based, featuring machine and motor. Symbols of

the modern era defined by “the cult of the rapid combustion”, according to Peter Sloterdijk, motor and machine are still characteristic of the contemporary economy, even though the digital world, both in a real and fantasy process, is overwhelming. He uses standards materials of our developed environment like metal, glass, plaster and oil, combines heterogenous logicals and creates an itinerary dividing, in an invisible way, the space.
Formally, the exhibition has been inspired by the painting Cifre Innamorate (1924) by Giacomo Balla, one of the founders of the Italian Futurism. By creating a situation which tends to modify our gathering and our wandering, the artist follows his reflexions about the reception of the art forms, the display of existing objects and history of surfaces and materials. The theme of the machine, and its antropomorphic projections, is in the title of the show, ironically reminded by the artist, quoting Serge Gainsbourg, author of Machins Choses, a 1965 song.
