Detanico/Lain: Pers茅v茅rance
From 9 September to 29 October LMNO are presenting a new personal exhibition by the Detanico Lain duo.
Angela Detanico and Rafael Lain have collaborated with LMNO since its inception 6 years ago.
Dtanico Lain鈥檚 works interpret our knowledge in fields such as the sciences and mathematics, and also literary references, thereby obtaining intensely varied aesthetic registers.
Since 2001 their works have tackled themes linked to time, space, memory, language and history.
In this, their third personal exhibition with LMNO, the artists address questions linked to landscape, whether natural or cultural. This new series of works on paper entitled 鈥楥louds鈥� is based on the principle of illusion. The works proposed play on perception between word and image and suggest a two-pronged reading, between form and meaning.
Born out of a public commission for the Tour du Fanal at the MUCEM in Marseille, this work has been turned by the artists into a less monumental, but equally powerful domestic-scale version.
Like a pattern not unlike a voice鈥檚 range in music, those works on blue-ground paper unveil a raft of white letters creating both the shape of a cloud, but also a word. The force of the work resides in the dynamic interaction between language and image. The relationship between what you see, what you read and the interpretation you give it.
