Jean Dupuy's Lazy Art
Loevenbruck proposes an exhibition of Jean Dupuy’s Lazy Art: the art which consists of having the work done by a tool or by others. It confronts the experimentor with his/her own organic energy: a sculpture (“Cone Pyramid”), a print “Printing Table”), a drawing (“Graphoculus” series) are created only using the organic energy of certain parts of the body without using will.
“Cone Pyramid” was awarded 1st prize at the Brooklyn Museum in 1968. The work will then be exhibited at “The Machine Show” (curator Pontus Hulten), MoMA, 1968.
From then, Lazy Art becomes one of the singular and sometimes paradoxical guidelines of Dupuy’s artistic journey, from sculpture to performance (Collective consciousness), painting or objects.
