Transcript of vThierry Geoffroy / Colonel ( cartons ULTRACONTEMPORARY once )
artworks that were once ULTRACONTEMPORARY
IMMEDIATE EXPRESSIONS ON CARTON Since 1988 and intensifying in the last four years, artist Thierry Geoffroy/ COLONEL has been regularly producing carton art works consisting of drawings, texts and occasionally newspaper or printed paper clippings. Depending on the moment, circumstances and the artist’s state of mind, the expressions ranged from direct and sharp to personal and doubtful. These diary-like registrations, expressing the raw and unpolished artistic sentiments, were put on display for the audience the same day they were produced, as living, pulsing artworks about the now.
Today the carton art works form an impressive collection that can be analyzed chronologically, thematically or esthetically showing what once was ultracontemporary. The precise registration of the date on each artwork makes it possible to find back to the specific historic context and situation the artist was expressing about.
Gallery Ultracontemporaine manages the distribution and selling of the artworks in the collection. For this book we have made a selection of 24 available artworks on themes such as: criticism as artistic praxis, emergencies in the world today, apathy in the society, communication, the notion of time and the ability to catch the moment, contemporary versus ultracontemporary.
Buying art works that were ultracontemporary in the past is about supporting the ultracontemporary art of today.
