Jean Dupuy, passeur de (son) temps
Jean Dupuy, Passing (his) Time
Jean Dupuy likes to talk about his work like a pastime: spending time, for him, is playing with it.
It is under this angle that this two-voiced lecture offers to reveal the striking periods of his works (painting/object/performance/video) – their articulations, overlaps, frictions – and the way in which – in fine – Jean Dupuy is successful in unifying them thanks to the anagrammatical process he has been developing since 1873.
This approximately 1-hour lecture is a version of the one given by Jean Dupuy and Christian Xatrec at the CAPC, Bordeaux, on December 13, 2013, in the scope of the international conference « L’usure, excès d’usages et bénéfices de l’art » (« Use, Excess of Use and the Benefits of Art ») organized by Pierre Baumann and Amélie de Beauffort.
