Description
(Text)
After producing many videos and films, Swiss artist Jérôme Leuba (b.
1970) has built a substantial corpus of living artworks entitled"battlefield." As such, these works create or describe zones of tension
by employing codes of representation that challenge the meaning these
images might bear. His battlefields do not only address zones of power
conflicts, but also the very personal struggles we might experience
when confronted with his scenarios. For instance battlefield No19/if you
see something say something (2005) takes the form of a simple
intervention in public space: a piece of luggage left inconspicuously in a
corner of the museum, an act that since 9/11 has lost its innocence
Many of Leubas works are thus dealing with anxiety, collective feelings,
and mass behaviors.
A conversation with art critic and Laboratoires dAubervilliers
co-director Mathilde Villeneuve, as well as an essay by Kunsthaus Zürich
curator Mirjam Varadinis offer anoverview of Jérôme Leubas work and
its relationship to the public realm. The book also includes a short
narrative remembrance by the French filmmaker and author
Jean-Philippe Toussaint.
