Info<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jean-Marc Busta\u00admante, born in Toulouse in 1952, is a young artist with an estab\u00adlished reputa\u00adtion. Nevertheless \u2018A WORLD AT A TIME\u2019 in the Kunst\u00admu\u00adseum Wolfsburg is only his second one-man show in German. Over the years Jean-Marc Busta\u00admante has produced a complex oeuvre which goes far beyond prefa\u00adb\u00adri\u00adcated theories and systems. Since 1977 he has been expres\u00adsing his view of the world in large photo\u00adgraphs. Concur\u00adr\u00adently, he developed sculp\u00adtures which address places and sites an the body\u2019s absence there. In these works a signi\u00adfi\u00adcant theme is the associa\u00adtion of concep\u00adtual, abstract \u2019space\u2019 with the real-life space of nature and architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Wolfsburg exhibi\u00adtion demons\u00adtrates the trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion process of an intan\u00adgible place, a non-place, into a manifest, experi\u00aden\u00adce\u00adable space. For Wolfsburg and it\u2019s new museum this is to be unders\u00adtood in terms both metapho\u00adrical and concrete \u2013 with regard to the building. Conver\u00adsely, though, the works only become tangible in the given space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jean-Marc Busta\u00admante sees the big exhibi\u00adtion hall in the Wolfsburg museum as \u2018a challenge\u2019.  It provides him with his first oppor\u00adtu\u00adnity to install his three large floor-pieces, \u2018Sites I, II and III\u2019 (1991\/92) in a space. By \u2019site\u2019 he also means a place\u2019s histo\u00adrical context. Each piece is roughly 5 x 5 meters and weighs more than 2,5 tons. Made of steel, the sculp\u00adtures were welded and then given a coat of anti-oxidant red lead paint. This primer is meant to accen\u00adtuate the in-between state of the sculp\u00adtures: they are not unworked, but they are not finished either. They posess the character of a model, a fence, sugges\u00adting the bounda\u00adries of archi\u00adtec\u00adture. The poles lying on \u2018Site III\u2019, however, they are material from which a building has yet to be constructed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first show of works by a contem\u00adporary artist in the big museum hall, and an acid test for the sculp\u00adtures. Will they put up a fight and defend their autonomy, or is the hall a whale which will devour the sculp\u00adtures as if they were so much plankton?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jean-Marc Busta\u00admante confronts the solid steel sculp\u00adtures with eleven cibachromes which he calls \u2018Tableaux\u2019, the name he gives to all his photo\u00adgra\u00adphic works. The series of large photo\u00adgraphs were taken near Barcelona 1991. Vertical cypresses, in dark, heavy oak frames measuring 1,60 x 1,40 meters, seem to advance from the wall, almost three-dimen\u00adsional in appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third group of works consists of sculp\u00adtures which are only a few months old: \u2018Des Arbres de Noel\u2019 (Christmas Trees). They are blend of organic and geometrical shapes. As in all of Bustamante\u2019s recent work, the outline is more signi\u00adfi\u00adcant, obviously based on a drawing. Unlike the large, floral shape on the floor which was shown at documenta IX, and covered with a homoge\u00adneous coat of paint, he treated the surface of the 2,5 meter tall treees in a much freer style. The several layers of paint suggest a painterly approach, while the sharp-tipped phallic form reveals a more brutal, aggres\u00adsive side of his works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibi\u00adtion displays a wide spectrum of the artist\u2019s output, his treatment of archi\u00adtec\u00adtural, sculp\u00adtural, photo\u00adgra\u00adphic, drawing and painting elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Although my works sometimes look cold, I actually have a highly developed relati\u00adonship towards matter, towards earth, towards steel, towards concrete, towards the places\u2026 I do not perform any calcu\u00adla\u00adtions to make my sculp\u00adtures look as though they are in balance, but the sensitive, poetic character of the pieces, their analy\u00adtical dimen\u00adsions, give them an equili\u00adbrium, a formal balance with regard to the story. \u2026 I am not parti\u00adcu\u00adlarly interested in the form of my sculp\u00adtures. That is not what I am looking for. What I do want is to change the relati\u00adonship between the work of art and the beholder. The work no longer takes the lead, it no longer instructs. It must first supply proof of the existence of the person who is looking at it and who assumes equal respon\u00adsi\u00adbi\u00adlity for the work\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
