Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris: Gelitin – La Louvre – Paris
Amours Toujours
These four guys, offering flamboyant insights and perspectives into the world of art, have – not for the first time - arrived in the city of love. The Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris has offered the Gelitin group 1000 m2 of exhibition space for their mid-career retrospective. They worked on this exhibit for three months – some objects are new and were created in Paris, some already existed before, but had never been displayed. They are now shown for the very first time in conjunction with well-known and successful objects.
The exhibit is called “La Louvre – Paris”, and for all those who’s French is not perfect, a tricky feint. At first sight there is not much of a difference between “le Louvre” and “la Louvre”. The troop “gelatinized” the main pieces of the Museum in their well-known and skilful plush-toy and cheese-like manner. An entire wall is dedicated to variations on Mona Lisa and findings made in early history.
Gelitin has gone a long way – including unforgettable B-things, wonders of the world, morasses, bunnies and (other) arches of triumph. Those viewing the group’s artwork for the first time could get a little dizzy. To make things easier, a bookstore has been integrated into the exhibit. Here you can read anything you would like to know about the artists.
This time the scandal happened late at night: one of the staff members slapped (!) a guest, was then thrown out, but immediately rehabilitated by the director of the museum – and the Gelitins wrote an angry email. The moral of the story: Gelitin’s LOVE mission is not over yet!
