Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam – Galerie Quynh is pleased to present A Physical Obedience Of A Certain Geometry [Nihil Sublime] – an exhibition of new work by French artist Thierry Bernard-Gotteland. This is Bernard-Gotteland’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. july,5th-30th 2011

Bernard-Gotteland continues to draw on the mythologies of heavy metal music and culture to create this latest body of work. His works are loaded with semiotic markers of defiance, destruction, order, control and power where social roles, cultural models and moral values are examined. Installed in accordance to the Golden Mean, the works possess a symmetry and harmony that belies their violent and aggressive titles. Incorporating text, image and sound, the exhibition is part intimate, domestic space, part aftermath of a live concert and part private fantasy. A faux leather bed dangling from the ceiling, metal chains, paintings of viscous black enamel, stage lights arranged in a pentagram, text from Hollywood scripts fashioned with black duct tape, a tree branch bandaged with tape, the whirring sound of industrial fans whose movement creates discordant noise from a guitar lend the exhibition a sexy, sensual and forbidden atmosphere.

Presentation by Bertrand Peret.

It has only been around the last thirty years that sound, not in its conventional musical form, but as an artistic material, had been seen as an artistic pratice in its own right. TBG is one of those artists who very naturally added this material to his palette. A multimedia artist in the widest sense of the word, Thierry chooses no one medium over another, but picks according to its functional relevance in the given situation, that is to say according to the physical place and the public present in that space. His work can thus be seen as a result of the situation. An effort of adaptation is required by the public who are to be interviewed, even provoked, their senses being sollicited at times almost violently. Neither the work nor the spectators can content themselves here with being passive. The often minimal and very radical installation is existence in the simplest sense of the word. Mixing up his mediums in such a manner, TBG has finally succeeded in confusing the genres, the exhibition has to be comprehended in a new way almost as a concert. A concert of mediums and meanings, the work is an ensemble that becomes a musical group, in the present case, it would be more like a heavy metal group, that makes you react if not physically, then at least mentally.
