Jacques Villeglé. Memories (Bilingual Edition)
For his 90th birthday, Jacques Villeglé takes on the demanding task of installation. In Mémoires exhibition, on the four panels of the glass piédestal supporting the central sculpture – a replica of Fils d’acier – Chaussée des Corsaires (Saint-Malo), 1947 – he draws magic squares or spirals, and borrows from the art of pœtry by Victor Segalen, Tristan Corbière and Arthur Rimbaud.

This act of appropriation gives rise to a multitude of associations transposed into his socio-political Alphabet: a sort of very personal kaleidoscope of visual images of his past. But Jacques Villeglé has also decided to take on one of the 20th century’s great minds: that of Guy Debord. He freely diverts few pages of Mémoires, a late-1950s book by Debord and Asger Jorn, into four large frescos.
