Post lot text

Le travail de Mircea Cantor comprend de nombreuses récupérations d’objets triviaux. Dans son œuvre Fishing flies, l’artiste emploie du métal de canettes de soda, du bambou, de l’acier ainsi que du fil de pêche permettant l’installation d’avions miniatures suspendus. Ses réalisations questionnent la mondialisation à l’ère de la redéfinition des frontières, à la fois géographiques, symboliques et culturelles. L’ambiguïté du quotidien se retrouve alors, à l’instar de Marcel Duchamp, au cœur de ses ready-made, tout en mettant en exergue le processus de métissage des cultures. Son travail a reçu le Prix Marcel Duchamp en 2011. Ses œuvres sont notamment conservées dans les collections du MoMA, du Walker Art Center (Minneapolis) ou du Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Mircea Cantor's work includes many ehancements of trivial objects. In his work Fishing flies, the artist uses metal from soda cans, bamboo, steel and fishing line to install miniature suspended planes. His work questions globalisation in an era of redefined geographical, symbolic and cultural borders. The ambiguity of the everyday is then found, like Marcel Duchamp, at the heart of his ready-made, while highlighting the process of cultural crossbreeding. His work was awarded the Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2011. His works are notably held in the collections of MoMA, the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis) and the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
