Robert Filliou
Funny Bones
curated by François Curlet
Opening today, 18/03, 12 – 6 pm
For Funny Bones, the artist François Curlet brings together a representative selection of editions and unique works by Robert Filliou from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s.
Curlet’s choice is motivated by an in-depth knowledge of the work of the ‘anartist-poet’ Filliou and of his peers within the loose art constellation of Fluxus. Curlet’s choice is also guided by an affinity between his own and Filliou’s practices, which share a sly phlegmatic humour and a serious interest in institutions that playfully assume the airs of good governance.
The protean oeuvre of Robert Filliou (1926-1987) touches on poetry, sculpture, video, performance, and any other form capable of translating his principle of Permanent Creation, itself derived from his Principle of Equivalence, which places well done, badly done, and not done on equal footing.
