Tribut Telephone Sheep

In the organizer's words:

In a playful sense, the artist Jean-Luc Cornec places the system at the center of his artistic work: he is concerned both with the question of arbitrariness and thus the emergence of the systems that regulate our lives - the broad field of linguists, semioticians and philosophers - and with the infinite possibilities that experimentation can reveal. He enables the viewer to grasp the experiments translated into visual form and to mentally explore the entire realm of possible consequences.
The fact that humor, even wit, plays a role here is inherent to the approach and cannot be avoided, regardless of the artist's personality. And almost imperceptibly, playfully, this approach also sets up the act of perception.

The installation presents the work TribuT Telephone Sheep as an artistic commentary on the exhibition "Animal Companions - Fantastic Creatures". Initially conceived as a formal-aesthetic idea, TribuT Telephone Sheep is open to various approaches or interpretations. Also because the sheep is a kind of archetype that is assigned different meanings depending on religion, language and culture. Since its first presentation in 1992, the installation has repeatedly taken on new meanings, has been "recharged" and "updated", so to speak.
