Opening of the Window Display December 5th from 7pm to 9pm

 

Every month, the “Window Display” at l’antenne is home to a new art project linked to le plateau’s exhibitions, collection and educational outreach ventures.

 

Justin Morin’s works are on the boundary between a form of minimalist vocabulary and a highly developed sense of décor. The artist focuses particularly on the fundamental question of beauty, a notion that is equally prevalent in the world of art and fashion. These two closely related worlds are, according to the artist, both subject to sudden as well as fleeting enthusiasm. He notably denounces the ‘decorative fate’ of art and its disappearance in a steady tide of images. His drapes originate in a source image, from advertising in magazines, websites, television or cinema. For the Window Display, Justin Morin realizes a work inspired by car racing, in particular by the NASCAR network (National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing) and its cars covered with sponsors logos.
