MARTIN SZEKELY

12 October, 2011 - 2 January, 2012

"No more drawing"; that's how Martin Szekely is introducing his exhibition at the Centre Pompidou. "Today, to me my work seems like a subtraction, down to the expressionism of drawing. This notion came from my relationship with industrial design and its creation for the largest audience possible." In 1996, Martin Szekely decided to question his work again and abandon the idea of appropriating a form by putting his mark on it. The exhibition "Martin Szekely, no more drawing" features a collection of twenty research pieces and twenty industrial products which look back at the original issue of the "use of objects" and shed new light on the work of the designer.
