Mécaniques Discursives. Don't follow the guide!
On 23 March 2023 FMAV Fondazione Modena Arti Visive is opening three important exhibitions hosted in the FMAV venues of Palazzo Santa Margherita and Palazzina dei Giardini, in a meeting of emerging talents, experimentation and playfulness.
It 's going to take place in Palazzo Santa Margherita Mécaniques Discursives. Don't follow the guide!. Curated by Francesca Fontana, it presents a selection of works resulting from the partnership of French-Swiss videographer Yannick Jacquet (1980) with Belgian engraver Fred Penelle (1976 - 2020), made starting in 2011 for different exhibition venues all over the world and part of the “Mécaniques Discursives” art project. The project is sponsored by Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles. The duo’s poetic brings together two epochs – of Gutenberg and Big Data – that are worlds apart. Old engraving techniques are taken out of their traditional context into wall projections, recycled objects, mosaics of drawings and 3D installations. The result is astonishing: a universe of imaginative iconographies, where times collide in a narrative maze where there is just one rule: “Don’t follow the guide”.
