Press release Paris 10/04/08 104
Since September 2001, from his studio in the district of the 19th of Paris, Franck Ancel has attempted to connect the artistic movements of last century to the changes of contemporary creation on a planetary scale.
After creating a tribute to the rotunda of the architect Ledoux and projecting a video on the screen of the Montparnasse tower, Ancel intervenes once again in resonance with Paris, in the continuity of creating his project of multiple "remixarts".
From the image/screen with the address _104 rue d'Aubervilliers 75019 Paris France_ taken from the Googlemap on Internet, its urban relief has been redrawn as a rhizomatic abstraction, then silkscreen-printed on a new backing, portable everywhere and for all in the city.
If this edition of 104 tee-shirts is a creation without visitors nor spectators. However it echoes the opening off the arts center, le 104, on October 11, 2008 in Paris. The tee-shirts are available via Internet rather than in bookshops or artshops, at the price of 27 euros, in a triangular paperboard box, numbered, titled and signed by the artist.
Being defined for this edition as a "zérographer", Ancel thus exposes an ecology of signs and a saving in means, in the search for durable paradigms.
