Mark Geffriaud's Raúl D. at Urdla: A Biennale de Lyon Associated Exhibition

Mark Geffriaud's exhibition 'Raúl D.' at Urdla in Villeurbanne is an associated exhibition of the 2019 Biennale de Lyon, running from September 14 to November 30, 2019. The show transforms the space by merging the display area and print workshop, with a large vertical fabric dividing the venue. A video work 'Raúl D.' (2019) features flickering text about anticipation, history, and censorship. The exhibition includes a Voirin lithographic press from the Lumière brothers' era, T-shirt experiments, and subtle interventions like 'Present Perfect' (2007) and 'Bit' (2015). Geffriaud avoids multiples, emphasizing process. Night performances with a mobile overhead projector echo illegal printing of tracts. The exhibition responds to the biennial's question of engaging with context without losing the visitor.
