Fantastic Minimalism: Mulholland Drive Inspires Group Exhibition Curated by Nicolas Bourriaud
The exhibition 'Retour sur Mulholland Drive. Le minimalisme fantastique,' curated by Nicolas Bourriaud, delves into the themes and objects of David Lynch's 'Mulholland Drive.' It features three distinct rooms that create a mental landscape, showcasing vibrant artworks against darker backdrops. This showcase presents an 'ecology of the artificial,' with the subtitle 'minimalisme fantastique' underscoring the supernatural elements embedded in the ordinary. Notable pieces include Kaz Oshiro's painted wood trash bin and Max Hooper Schneider's fish-filled washing machine. Additionally, Huma Bhabha's sculpture and works by Rodrigo García and Jonathas de Andrade explore motifs of presence and absence. The contrast between life and death is epitomized in Wendy Jacob's 'The Somnambulist (Blue)' (1993). Featured artists also include Saelia Aparicio and David Noonan.
