LORIS GRÉAUD
Cellar Door
15 April - 7 June, 2011
For his first solo-show in Austria, Loris Gréaud (*1979 in Eaubonne, France) was busy developing a series of new works to which Sonic Youth’s legendary guitarist Lee Ranaldo has substantially contributed to, and where the perennial cycle CELLAR DOOR will culminate in a glowing close after almost 5 years. CELLAR DOOR is an ambitious artistic endeavour, a contemporary fairy tale involving various interwoven and nevertheless self-contained elements such as an architectural project, an opera, as well as the film “One Thousand Ways To Enter” (2008-11) and the sculpture “The Great Book of Captions” (2011) included in this show. Gréaud’s studio metaphor CELLAR DOOR is a thrilling symbolic room, a projection area of thought and speech that constantly reinvents itself. It stands for collaborative and experimental production, continuous translation between forms and media, and a dynamic process of art appreciation in real time.
Curator: Cathérine Hug
Loris Gréaud is also represented with the sculptural film installation “Bucky, The Intergalactic Draw” (2007–10) from the CELLAR DOOR cycle in the exhibition SPACE. ABOUT A DREAM at KUNSTHALLE wien (MQ, April 1 – August 15, 2011).
