What/who inspired the work?
In the early 1960s, artist Robert Filliou created the Galerie Légitime, a traveling art gallery housed in a cap that aimed to bring art out of traditional exhibition spaces and into the streets. The Galerie Légitime featured small-scale works by Filliou and his friends, including Measurements, Mummified Objects, and the Jeu recommandé de la Galerie Légitime. In July 1962, Filliou organized the Les voyages de la Galerie Légitime, a series of street exhibitions in Paris featuring small-scale works by Benjamin Patterson. In October 1962, during the Misfit's Fair in London, Filliou inaugurated The Frozen Exhibition, an exhibit intended to last for ten years. This exhibit was referred to as a "frozen exhibition" due to its extended duration. In the same year as the creation of the Davis Museum Barcelona, Ben Patterson and Bertrand Clavez, art historian (in the role of Robert Filliou), came together to perform the project La Galerie Légitime Re-enactment, a collective event that took place on June 7, 2009 in Paris as part of Futur en Seine, with the collaboration of students and Ars Longa Gallery. This journey through Paris lasted 12 hours and was recorded on video. The performance was open to all, it was possible to join physically at any time.
What do you hope its viewers will feel/think? I hope that the viewers will perceive this section as a visual map of Les voyages de la Galerie Légitime, comprising both digital documents and GIF animations that pinpoint the route. In contrast to the first two versions from 1962 and 2009, in which participants physically followed the journey's route, La Galerie Légitime 2.0 allows viewers to visualize the route marked by Filliou through images extracted from Google Maps.
Why did you choose the medium, subject matter, style? I have chosen the digital medium as a means to undertake a critical re-reading and updating of Robert Filliou's Les voyages de la Galerie Légitime from 1962, which serves as the primary subject matter of this section. In terms of aesthetic, I have chosen to employ a minimalist style reminiscent of Google Maps.
