Benoît Maire
This autumn, Arsenal Contemporary Art Montreal is pleased to welcome Benoît Maire for a residency. The French artist will be in preparation for his solo exhibition Cloud Paintings, presented from Nov 15, 2017 to Jan 14, 2018, at Arsenal Contemporary Art New York.
Since 2008, Benoît Maire has started writing a manual of aesthetics where images, objects and writing take form to bring forth some of contemporary aesthetics' main issues. Starting from the differend (insurmountable conflict) between saying and seeing, Benoît Maire works in an in-between where art and philosophy merge into a practical use where forms spread out and surpass one another. Neither philosophy, nor art, the Aesthetics of differends looks to corrupt classical formats by the experimental use of theory.
