Claude Rutault

de-finition/method 499 : "paso-doble", 1995

Paint on canvas, poster / Variable dimensions according to the actualization
de-finition/method :
'once again, this proposal should be applied to a group or solo show featuring several artworks.
paso doble is based on the poster designed for the paso doble exhibition at the asher edelman foundation in lausanne, organised by mamco in 1994.
at its centre this poster shows a large canvas painted the same colour as the wall. around it are distributed eleven pairs of proper nouns. each time, a different artist’s name is associated to claude rutault’s, duplicating the exhibition, which contrasted various de-finitions/methods with a variety of artworks, both pictorial and photographic. the choice of artists was made by christian bernard, director of mamco, geneva.
the artwork consists of presenting the framed exhibition poster on an unspecified spot on the wall, far from the centre.
scattered across the entire wall, several pairs of small canvasses – eighteen by ten – twenty-two by twelve... centimetres – suggest dance steps. several figures and groups are scattered across the wall. the canvasses are painted the same colour as it.
it is possible to replace the canvasses by papers that follow the papers de-finition/method, i.e. on a white wall the papers are coloured, and they are white if the wall is not. there is the option of presenting several posters and creating different compositions. another option is to mix pairs of canvasses and pairs of papers' Courtesy Perrotin.
