"Murakami Versailles", an exhibition of Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, the royal apartments and gardens of Versailles, to be or not to see until December 12 ...
As its name suggests, is a Takashi artist and not an artist. And as my neighbor wondered Lucette: an artist, he's plastic? Yes, and Japanese. Oh! Already I can not bear to see the plastic, and even Japanese art in the middle of my lawn, so I do not like to see plastic the middle of the hall of mirrors (not strawberry, for the uneducated).
Mr. Murakami is not content to turn the plastic, he does like the manga these drawings aggressive or cancerous looks like Moebius. In the 80s, when I was a student in design at the Beaux Arts in Paris, 50% of equity foreign students were from Japan, to take just a little humanity in the way we draw. Indeed, the most shocked of this assembly are fraudulent Japanese tourists visiting the Palace of Versailles, disappointed to find the evocation manga in a mythical place where they waited for several years the visit (listen to this very interesting about the show on France Inter on September 14 at 8 am 30).
After a summer loaded with false revelations state that border the initiation, there is the bouquet. The poorest of the poor are returned to their misery, the rich of the rich are subsidized, and now the plastic kitsch does a mouthful of gold in the art of the Renaissance.
The revolt rumbles more , Marie Antoinette, the slight rustle, has lost his head, and everyone has their own little commentary on intellectual openness - must! Irreducible except Le Pen of Versailles are a hit, to the gates of the palace. It must be said that since the first episode of the genus (the exhibition Jeff Koons in autumn 2008, artist sponsored by Pinault, who saw his side climb sharply, and capital of his sponsor idem the same time), so After this exhibition, the Palace of Versailles takes precautions, it ensures that there is not works with pornographic or gruesome connotation that might offend some public, especially children. Yes, yes! True.
concepts have now replaced emotions, and mental strength of arguments, they want us to make clocks for snakes (or lanterns to swallow). The key is to talk about yourself. This plastic is not raising humanity, it is barely a blink of an eye. Not even languid. I will not see. But I'm glad it exists, it can talk ...
In conclusion, and to justify the title of the article, which I do not really look like, but bringing together my ideas, I will borrow from Jean Clair, the French Academy, he said the previous exhibition of its kind in Versailles, "we dream that Saint-Simon in his greenness, could write these sculptures "dondonesques" and twisted, now lodged at Versailles. They would have reminded him perhaps the bad joke of the Duke of Coislin: "I got into the room where you slept, where I pushed a big seat in the middle on the floor ...."
But we'll still do his work little information to the end. Here is the link to the page devoted to the exhibition and its exhibitors, from the site Versailles . It reveals an artist coherent because of the way he does make his paintings and derivatives by a hundred young artists, his remarks have caused to be written by a good colleague of Jean-Jacques Aillagon. They do not reflect the reality of the discovery of Versailles and its history by Takashi Murakami there are only 3 years old at the time of signing the contract (monument and culture he never knew existed before). Thus, we are in the false, fictitious, event management Free (but is very expensive) to the end. Not in art. A decoy. An absence.
