Martin Levêque"Archipel 4"2019
2019
About the Item
The Archipel series is built from compositions constructed from dynamic geometric figures and contrasting primary colours. Levêque is inserted in the modernist photographic heritage that emerged with Lászlo Moholy-Naghy (1895-1946) or Man Ray’s exercises as a means to explore the optical and expressive properties of light in objects. Thus, the forms that make up Archipel shed the meaning of the object that produces them and become autonomous entities that arise from both technical premeditation and chance.

Martin Levêque (France, 1987) lives and works in Mexico City. After studying communication and seven years of experience in entrepreneurship as an art director, he began to create visual works in an autodidact way. His work explores our relationship with objects and space. Through his installations, sculptures, photographs and silkscreen printing, Levêque tries to spread confusion among the visitors by offering a moment that breaks the barriers imposed by our daily life. His work is an utopian quest that transforms the impossible into reality. His colorblindness is at the origin of his fascination for illusion. Levêque defies the traditional tools of the analog art and carefully chooses his materials and intends to give them a second life. The matter properties are an universal and inexhaustible source of inspiration. In a dizzying era of constant and rapid changes, the tangible holds a strong and positive message, that of an immutable truth. Levêque is undeniably moved by the evolution of knowledge, and especially by its obsolescence that our generation is testifying. In 2017 he presented his first monumental installation, Sanctuaire, in the main venue of Mutek Mx, a digital art festival in Mexico City. This artwork is a tribute to the energy that the swarming Mexico City brought to him. In February 2018, Sanctuaire took a central place in Salon ACME, one of the main contemporary art fairs in the country. The piece won 2018 the grand prize of the Korean competition K Design Award.

- HUICHOL: MOUNTAIN, DESERT, NEW YORK (`95-`21). Limited edition of 5.By PABLO ORTIZ-MONASTERIOLocated in Ciudad De México, MXDocumentary Photograph. Contemporary Inkjet on cotton. Limited edition of 5. Signed front and verso. Framed in lacquered black frame with spacer) The first person to photograph the Huichol in their remote communities in the inaccessible canyons of the Western Sierra Madre was probably the Norwegian anthropologist, Carl Lumholtz. He ventured into their territory in 1895, shortly before the arrival of the French naturalist and ethnographer Léon Diguet, who was also a photographer. Like so many who were engaged with documenting Indigenous peoples across the Americas in those brutal years of expansion and settlement, Lumholtz believed that the disappearance of his subjects was inevitable: “the weaker must succumb to the stronger, and the Indians will ultimately all become Mexicans.” The photographs of the Huichol by Pablo Ortiz Monasterio—taken on some twenty trips over the past three decades—prove that Lumholtz was fortunately, terribly wrong. They reveal abundant evidence of cultural survival (what the Huichol call “la costumbre”), made possible by their extraordinary resistance to the religious, nationalist, and economic forces that have long assaulted—and that continue to assault—Indigenous communities everywhere. Though Ortiz Monasterio is also an outsider, he does not operate—like Lumholtz or Diguet—as an old-fashioned preservationist, nor is he confident in the superiority of Western culture, nor is his work only destined for museum vitrines...Category

- Birth of FlightBy Phil MarcoLocated in New York, NYAluminum mounted giclee archival print. Sits about an inch off the wall. ABOUT THE ARTIST Marco studied fine art at Pratt Institute and the Art Students League in New York. New York Times photography critic Gene Thornton called Marco “a Minimalist, whose images are sensual, whimsical, often surreal, always strong, and deceptively simple.” “I’ve had the pleasure of working with Phil Marco on a number of my films. Phil is a man of extraordinary talents. It seems that his passion is to take an everyday object or event, and show it in an entirely new and exciting way.” Martin Scorsese. Phil’s work is represented in MOMA, The Museum of the Moving Image, and The George Eastman Museum of Photography. His first photographs were studies for his paintings, before he launched a career in print advertising. He eventually became a Director / DP for film and television for a vast base of national and international clients with his wife Patricia as Partner and Producer. In the 1980’s and 90’s Phil was the go to person for Special Effects in Television and Cinema, also best known for his graphic conceptual still lives, and his consummate mastery of lighting, and design. He’s won many awards for his work, including numerous Cannes Lions, Cleo’s, a Grammy for his print work on the legendary “Tommy the Who...Category
