André Cadere's itinerant practice explored at Le Moulin

The exhibition 'André Cadere' at Espace d'art le Moulin in La Valette-du-Var, running from February 15 to April 27, 2013, challenges the artist's reductive reputation as a mere conceptual wanderer. Cadere, known for his colorful segmented wooden bars carried through public spaces, also engaged deeply with writing, language, and performance. He distributed tracts, wrote manifesto-letters to art world figures, and inserted the word 'écriture' into gallery announcements in Les Lettres françaises, a journal edited by Aragon. His theoretical texts and reports are integral to his practice. Cadere defined himself as an 'artist of disorder,' yet his work is purposefully directed toward defining a territory of freedom, using humor to assert his presence. The exhibition at Le Moulin illuminates this essential 1970s artist's multifaceted approach.
