Through forty works by international creators, the \u201cD\u00e9bordements\u201d exhibition questions the singularities of the vase as an object and its place in the artistic field from the end of the 1970s to the present day.<\/p>\n
A trophy celebrating victory, a funeral urn or a tool for transporting and preserving food in antiquity, the vase is gradually asserting itself as the ultimate art object. It is an artifact that testifies to a particular aesthetic research. From the 17th century, when people began to garnish vases with flowers, its function was no longer exclusively decorative. During the contemporary period, artists and designers shatter academic forms inherited from antiquity. The vase now constitutes a true exercise in style and a formidable field of experimentation.<\/p>\n
Every vase is inherently unfinished. Having to endure existing naked, it is subjected to a pattern of alternation of fullness and emptiness, depending on whether it is garnished or not, while its content is constantly renewed to the rhythm of the withering flowers. More than the living, it is the spectacle of disappearance that the vase celebrates. The cut flower draws its beauty from its ability to preserve appearance in death \u2013 to \u201ckeep up\u201d \u2013 and if the experience of the sublime cannot be born from an empty vase, it is expressed in its ability to preserve, for a time, the fleeting image of life. The permanence of the vase collides irremediably with the ephemeral nature of the plant. By surviving the flower, the vase symbolically marks the domination of Culture over Nature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9936,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"Exhibition \u201cD\u00e9bordements: 40 vases by artists and designers\u201d ","_seopress_titles_desc":"Exhibition \u201cD\u00e9bordements: 40 vases by artists and designers\u201d \/ from November 30, 2023 to January 13, 2024 \/ Galerie Romain Morandi - Paris","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[83],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-expositions-en","entry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9952"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9952\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9959,"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9952\/revisions\/9959"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9936"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/romainmorandi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
