“The industrial form likes to be cut, to be chosen,
reproduced, distributed, and sold everywhere. To achieve
this, it needs the falls of matter outside the frame of its own
form to exist. Its backstage colleagues, against shadow
forms, once again become extras and actresses on the
copper draped on the fabrics of an imaginary art deco,” says
François Curlet to explain Out of Space, a series of copper
paintings that oscillates between repetition and uniqueness.
And the French artist marks them with an almost invisible
line, a kind of graffiti that fights against the dictatorship
of the brand. “A spray can marks them on the screen for a
particular dance far from the mass distribution of the first
chosen ones,” says Curlet.
