The Dust of the Meteors

The title of the exhibition is borrowed from Alain Bashung’s album “l’Imprudence” which evokes with powerful poetry the feeling of impermanence. Using different types of mediums, he composes a path of relationship between the different pieces with new, recent works, most of which were created for the LaVallée exhibition space.

What is the relationship between a television set that is turned off, a poster announcing the exhibition you are already circulating in, a double self-portrait of the artist on the wall, collections of found images irreverently diverted, in situ murals and a set of heterogeneous monumental pictorial proposals?

By summoning a multitude of public personalities, from politicians to philosophers to activists, Stephan Balleux proposes a meditation on a possible value of existence.
