Solo exhibition of Alain Huck at the Musée cantonal des Beaux-Arts of Lausanne."
“Organized in close collaboration with Alain Huck, the exhibition offers a survey of nearly thirty years of creative output, from the early works on canvas to the most recent drawings, by way of
the monumental charcoal drawings that established Huck as a major presence.
The exhibition is articulated around the question of text and its relationship to the image, of language and its representation, of what can be said and what is left unspoken, of what is remembered and what makes history. Similarly, just as in the works themselves meanings emerge from the montage between text and image, from the overlaying of distinct images, and from the uncertainty of the image itself, the show is conceived in terms of associations.
Here the artist creates dialogues between works from very different periods and of varying kinds. Works from major series of drawings are displayed alongside others that use a variety of supports, including tarpaulins, jute sacks, plants, and neon lights, forging a nonchronological approach to the artist’s body of work to generate new meaning.”
