Jacques Villeglé
122 rue du temple, 1968
112 rue de temple is the Paris address from which Villeglé detached many of the movie posters and political notices he used to make this work. After tearing fragments of the original images, he pasted these passages of color, text, and image into a chance composition. Many of the fliers used here announced the city's May 1968 student and worker demonstrations, and the artist considered the people who had posted them to be his collaborators, understanding their use of advertising billboards as a precursor for his process. |
