David Lamelas retrospective at Frac Lorraine

The "On the Moon" exhibition at Frac Lorraine in Metz marks the first comprehensive retrospective in France of Argentine artist David Lamelas, born in 1946. Lamelas, who showcased his work at the 1968 Venice Biennale, became prominent within the experimental film community in Los Angeles during the 1970s and saw a resurgence of interest from Western art institutions in the 2000s. His notable pieces, such as "Pared Doblada" (1994) and "Corner Piece" (1966), delve into the interaction between images and viewers. Curator Béatrice Josse characterizes his work as "conceptual but always human." The exhibition also includes "Gente di Milano" (1970) and a 1970 interview with Marguerite Duras, with Josse and other curators examining Lamelas alongside influential marginal artists from 1960 to 1980.
