In view of @SearsAndAccorsi’s upcoming Valuart Solos showcase "How can I put it?", we asked the creative duo to present “CECI N'EST PAS UN APHORISME”, one of the 6 works on display: “This started out as an irresistible taunt to Magritte. I have a fantasy of a Belgian adult showing a small child a picture of a pipe, he says "C'est quoi, ça?" and the child says, "C'est une pipe!" to which the adult says "Bravo!" and then the Belgian adult morphs into Rene who answers gleefully, "Mais non, ceci n'est pas une pipe, c'est l'image d'une pipe!" forcing a slightly premature lesson about symbols, language and communication upon the puzzled child. Oscar and I couldn't keep ourselves from designing an aphorism and asking the same puzzled child the same question.” Explore the full collection this weekend: ● A FINE FIGURE OF SPEECH ● A NICE TURN OF PHRASE ● CECI N'EST PAS UN APHORISME ● EVOLVING TONGUE ● I HAVE SO MUCH TO SAY IN A LANGUAGE I CANNOT SPEAK ● THESE WORDS ARE PLACEHOLDERS FOR OTHER WORDS 📅July 21st-23rd 📩RSVP at [email protected] 📍Valuart Gallery, Lugano-Paradiso (CH) #valuartsolos
