Childish and bizarre: the vertigo of a collection
Overzicht
Inleiding
A series of small, fascinating objects: toys, gadgets, trinkets and works of art - where each piece oscillates between the banal and the magical, revealing the intimate universe and obsessions of its collector.
The Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève is pleased to present Enfantillages et bizarreries: vertige d'une collection at L'Arcade, a fascinating collection of objets d'art: trinkets, trinkets, charms, gadgets, small toys, good-luck charms and consolation objects. This constellation of miniatures is the harvest of obsessions, fantasies and visions born of a collector's passion.
Each object, from Sol LeWitt's perfume bottle to Yoko Ono's stamps, Jenny Holzer's pencils or Takako Saito's marbles, oscillates between toy, banal everyday object and work of art. Some seemingly insignificant items - pieces of wood, rags, shards of glass - are transformed into miniature magics, revealing the collector's secret, poetic universe.
The exhibition explores the thaumaturgical virtues of objects and childhood as a land of refuge and wonder. It reveals the profoundly childlike nature of the collector, between desire, possession and the attempt to fill absences, losses and voids, through the richness of his collection.
