Laurent Pariente: Sans titre, Mudam, Luxembourg, 2008


Laurent Pariente’s (1962) installation occupying the Grand Hall of Mudam is a logical continuation of his work to date. Nevertheless, this is the first time the artist has introduced the dimension of colour to one of his works in such a decisive manner. In previous works, light was captured on large-scale drypoint engravings on tinted metal plates, while his constructions and passages were realised in opaque chalk powder.
