FRAC Lorraine presents the first in France retrospective of David Lamelas (b. 1946, Argentina), featuring over 20 major pieces from 1960 to 1970, including some previously never exhibited as well as some recent works.

A flashback on David Lamelas with a monographic exhibition is devoted to this pioneer of conceptual art and experimental cinema. Sculpting time and space, his language summons absence, awaiting, and atmosphere … in order to better understand the instant!

What if time were nothing but a fiction? Time passes, time lasts, time stops, time is an activity. Observing it, giving it material presence—this is what David Lamelas’s experiment has been about since the 1960s. He is one of the first artists to introduce perception of real-time temporality into exhibition. A chronic traveler, he works through his own itinerary, which he shows in a context, in space and time. 

Placing the viewer at the center of his work, David Lamelas leaves a trail of clues for the viewer to follow in his or her own way…within a necessarily distended temporality!

In collaboration with Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo (NO) – Mats Stjernstedt.
