A highlight of this autumn’s programme at MAC VAL is the Jean-Luc Verna show being held in the temporary exhibition space. With this, his first solo show in a French museum, the artist has conceived a ‘gesture of deposition,’ as if to register his desire to start something new in a career that has already been going for a quarter of a century.

The retrospective sequence of this exhibition, punctuated by new pieces, highlights the constant, recurring nature of Verna’s concerns and motifs. The strict, straightforward display stands in strong contrast to the baroque, carnivalesque and almost grotesque qualities of the work.
