Jean-Luc Moulène | Astral Week

29.05.–03.06.2006

Jean-Luc Moulène (* 1955, Reims) is presenting a new series of works in Arch 51. “Astral week”, conceived as an installation, comprises photos, drawings and objects, all exploring the mythical dimensions of the infinite and its coded images within our cultural practice. In the process, the sphere of associa-tions linked to the heavens and the stars is rediscovered even in ordinary objects like the ventilation slits in your home PC. Moulène arranges a promenade of optical signs, as full of sophistry as it is poetic, with the signs constructing their own metaphorical dimensions as “intermediate images”. In “Mondex” (2006) Moulène achieves the re-entry of the cosmological into the everyday world via minimal interventions in arranging  the most banal practical objects, such as round Tupperware boxes.
