Jean-Luc Moulène (b. 1955, Paris, France) sets out to remove the boundaries between heterogeneous worlds: art and media, art objects and mass-produced objects, utility value and artistic value. Throughout his work, Jean-Luc Moulène has been exploring the nature of artistic labor and what it means to ‘author a work of art’. His practice is characterised by the wide variety of materials he uses along with his keen sense of observation and analysis of the world that surrounds him. From his point of view, art is not peaceful, an artwork always contains a ‘yes’ and a ‘no’ and it is the task of the viewer to find and define their own position.
