Info
The Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine has dedicated an exhibition to François Morellet and his interventions in built space. Nearly forty works trace this aspect of his practice, including three monumental pieces installed in the permanent collection. The exhibition route shows how a geometric composition changes when it meets the lines of a building, its volumes and the light.
Since the 1970s, Morellet has expanded these interventions, which he calls his 'disintegrations.' The term suggests the playful engagement he undertakes with architecture. A construction has its own logic, made up of axes and symmetries. By introducing another rule of composition, the artist can highlight a perspective or move the point toward which the eye is drawn.
The monumental works presented in the galleries allow us to observe this relationship at scale. The work changes depending on whether it is placed on a façade, in a garden, or in a passage space such as a train station. By bringing these questions into an architecture collection, the Cité shows what Morellet's interventions owe to the places where they are installed, and what new things they reveal there.
