Mijntje Lukoff is proud to present
Alice Pilastre's Music boxes
Alice Pilastre ventures between very ancient
techniques and resolutely contemporary forms of art. Tapestry/textile and music
are at the base of her work. Her «Ritournelles» are a poetic diversion from our
traditional childhood music boxes and invite the visitor to interact with the
artwork.
Pilastre's "Papier-Peint Sonore"
is a surprising mixed-media installation composed of wallpaper, whose pattern is
the encoding of a mechanical Jacquard weaving loom. Its code is simultaneously
transposed into a punched ribbon, flowing through a music box one can play,
generating the music of the Jacquard loom.
A little further, Alice's "Moëbius
Gymnopedy", a music box playing the universally recognized tune by Eric
Satie through a steel punched card shaped as a Moëbius ribbon. While the ribbon
plays, the tune suddenly changes, to become the exact musical opposite of
Satie's tune, and back.
Several other music boxes are to be played and
discovered in the gallery along many beautiful installations. On view till
April 14, 2012.

Armen Agop in London
"They sit, like silent sentinels, an army of
giant water lilies in a still pond, stones in a Zen garden. Yet, despite their
size and arresting form, they do not actively call out to the viewer, demanding
to be seen. Rather, like planets spun out on their axes, orbiting around their
own centres of gravity, they seem deep in conversation with each other,
preoccupied within their own galaxy, oblivious to the outside world." from the Essay "Internal Gravity", by Anna Wallace
Thompson
Armen Agop is on view till April 14, 2012 at the
Selma Feriani Gallery in London.
