SARKIS LES PÔLES DES AIMANTS MUSÉE DU CHÂTEAU DES DUCS DE WURTEMBERG, MONTBÉLIARD

From 6 June of this year to 4 January 2015, the musée du château des ducs de Wurtemberg of Montbéliard is featuring a major show devoted to the work of Sarkis titled Les pôles des aimants (The magnets’ poles). The artist has devised an encounter between the famous people buried in the Panthéon, who have left a mark on the history of France, and anonymous individuals who have been dead for a century and who built local history in Montbéliard. Throughout an area plunged in murky half-light and covering more than 500 m2, the names of writers, scientists and politicians are written out in blue neon signatures. Thanks to the intensity of the light they cast, these glowing signatures illuminate one hundred large-format photo portraits of now forgotten inhabitants of Montbéliard. And from the varied collections of the Musées de Montbéliard, the artist has reappropriated costumes, chairs, ancient furniture, birds, strange paintings and other unusual objects to add a strong theatrical aspect to this unique contrasting of written names and portraits put to mechanically generated music.
