Jorge Méndez Blake "Projets pour une Possible Littérature / Projects for a Possible Literature" at La Kunsthalle Mulhouse

Ricardo Alessio May 21, 2015

Projets pour une Possible Littérature / Projects for a Possible Literature
Jorge Méndez Blake

Curated by Sandrine Wymann

June 4th – August 23rd 2015

Opening Reception: Wednesday, June 3rd at 6.30 pm
During Art Basel: Reception at La Kunsthalle, Friday June 19th at 7 pm


Projects for a Possible Literature is Jorge Méndez Blake's first exhibition in a French art center. A Mexican artist born in 1974, he lives in Guadalajara and belongs to a generation of South American artists which is now extremely present on the international scene.
Through drawings, installations or environmental interventions, Jorge Méndez Blake brings literature closer to art. In his work, texts have a meaning, which he translates into shapes or images. He amplifies it through an expertly constructed conceptual language, and takes part in rewriting games. From his monumental installations to his simplest gestures, he imbues his work with a physical relationship between the chosen texts and the reader, who becomes a viewer. 
His work creates new connections between literature and architecture. His pieces broaden the possible readings between authors, texts and architecture by placing them in new contexts. 
Jorge Méndez Blake sees the exhibition at La Kunsthalle as an opportunity to come back to some of his existing work, but also to create numerous new pieces. He presents his work in an almost encyclopedic manner, gathering a range of buildings, books and other constructions to make up a complete collection of the formal elements of his work. The result is a set of small pieces which all carry the make-up for a possible literature.
