The Theory of Curved Spaces 13 avenue Gambetta, 38500 Voiron
from 14AM to 30PM
Jean-Pierre Brazs poses in situ the question of drawing and the places of its existence: places of sampling of signs and places of their transcriptions.
His pebbles, made by folding and crumpling into balls drawings from the period 1981-1984, are destined to one day be piled up in collapsed, broken, folded or forgotten places.
His embrouillaminis are surveys of petroglyphs, meticulously and systematically compiled and classified into imaginary databases, based on voluntary or fortuitous signs taken from real places.
Each being, each world that disappears takes with it what has not been said. The unspoken words nevertheless existed: retained, buried, unspeakable, sometimes outlined in modest gestures, generating derisory traces on the epidermis of appearances.
Collecting them requires us to see linguistic signs in the uncertain writings that populate the walls or rocks because a hand has scarred the skin or because physical forces have caused fracture lines: as many signs as an imagination can animate and decipher.
Jean-Pierre Brazs undertook the collection of these modest voluntary or fortuitous "writings", convinced that a language is at work there and that it would be enough to draw visual syllables from them to write the continuation of a sketched story : what could be called a survival.
