“alias:” by Pierre Delalande (curated by Pedro Proenca) – 14/10 – 26/11/2023
The artist as editor? The book covers like allegorical appearances? Or as aphorisms endowed with images? Can a cover be an autobiography? And how many autobiographies are three hundred covers? Pierre Delalande (born in Avignon in 1946) extends his megalomaniac condensation project in this exhibition; in other words, he summarizes by amplifying. Starting with the French edition of his book Lego Hegel, Delalande created the label “alias:,” which began as a parody of the publishing house Allia. It is from the expansion of this act that this exhibition is born: “aliás:,” like someone who insists, adds, means something else, perhaps. “aliás:” is thus the exemplary example of exemplification. Or an imagery-philosophical diary.
