JOSE LUIS & JOSE CARLOS MARTINAT (LIMA 1974) 26 JANVIER – 23 MARS 2019
‘At a time when voices are heard from the philosophy announcing the death of representative democracy, the Martinat Mendoza brothers, José Luis and José Carlos (Tate Modern-London, Perez Museum-Miami, Sharjah Museum-UEA, Göteborg Museum-Sweden, MoMaNew-York…) have created bronzes that evoke this possible change of paradigm.
‘A un temps où la raison philosophique annonce la mort de la représentation démocratique, les fréres Martinat Mendoza, José Luis et José Carlos (Tate Modern-London, Perez Museum-Miami, Sharjah Museum-UEA, Göteborg Museum-Sweden, MoMa-New-York…) ont crée des sculptures qui évoquent ce changement de paradigme.
Sculptures made with symbols from Political parties, both Left and Right, of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, when the market, survival and corruption show the failure of utopian political visions. Political marketing has stormed the mass media to sell us beautiful ideas, a faith of change and a messiah that will guide us to the promised land at the low cost of one vote: mark a symbol. “We Promise to Never Wake Up”: Still Life uses repeated iconography as prayers, graphic manipulation perpetuated in bronze, like objects of an extinct pagan cult, that will have to be found at some point in the future when we have, I hope, a more fraternal way of relating to each other. Meanwhile, these pieces are a forecast of a possible change in our way of understanding politics, a powerful omen’.
Bili Sanchez Montenegro
Ces sculptures sont constituées de symboles de différents partis politiques de gauche et de droite du 20e et du commencement du 21e siècle, quand le commerce, la survie et la corruption montraient la faille de la vision utopiste de la politique. Le marketing politique s’est approprié le média populaire pour nous vendre des idées magnifiques, la foi du changement tel un messie qui nous guidera vers la terre promise au prix dérisoire d’un vote, une marque symbolique. “Nous Promettons De Ne Jamais Nous Réveiller”: Nature Morte utilise l’iconographie répétée des prières religieuses , des manipulations graphiques en Bronze comme des objets d’un culte païen qui devront être trouvés dans le futur quand nous aurons une approche plus fraternelle dans nos relations avec chacun’. En attendant, ces pièces sont une prévision d’un changement possible dans notre façon de comprendre la politique, un puissant présage ’ Bili Sanchez Montenegro
