Jean-Charles de Quillacq: Ma système reproductive

From May 3 through July 13, 2019
Opening on Thursday, May 2nd, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Curated by Mélanie Bouteloup & Lucas Morin

In the Spring of 2019, Bétonsalon - Center for Art and Research will host a solo exhi­bi­tion by artist Jean-Charles de Quillacq. The exhi­bi­tion will include newly com­mis­sioned per­for­mances and sculp­tures, as well as existing works.

Born in France in 1979, de Quillacq lives and works in Zürich. He grad­u­ated from the Lyon National School of Fine Arts and the Weißensee Kunsthochschule in Berlin. He cre­ates con­cep­tual and fetishistic sculp­tures, which he incor­po­rates within exhi­bi­tion pro­to­cols that impli­cate staff and vis­i­tors. He turns them into aux­il­iaries, even accom­plices, of his work, accepting the loss of con­trol and poten­tial devi­a­tions that those invi­ta­tions might lead to.
