Eloge de l’emprunt

Le Coeur’s upcoming exhibition is about the rise someone else’s creativity has on us, the fascination artists have for each other and more generally the influence of Art History in our contemporary art-based practices. “I always wanted to be Matisse” used to say Warhol, questioning his own identity, his creativity (…). That proposition isn’t ” appropriationnist”. It is a free “recreation” of Art History by the Designer Maroussia Rebecq, who examins her artistic position and questions the paradox between the innovation race, the originality, the uniqueness and the recycling neccessity by imposing her references and adding it an over value.

As Guy Debord, she robs the intellectual and personal property concept and fights for a right to copy out, to reproduce, to interpret and hijack the meaning of some existing works.

Faithful to reuse and upcycling, that she defends since the launch of her brand Andréa Crews in 2002, Maroussia Rebecq will install her factory at Le Coeur for the next October intake. She will produces at this occasion a dreamed artworks collection that claims her unfailing admiration to Yayoi Kusama, Thomas Hirshhrorn, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Donald Judd, Marie Laurencin, John Armleder, Josh Smith, Katarina Gros, Bernard Frieze, Melanie Bonajo, Lili Reynaud Dewar…
