8.30PM TELEPRESENCE-PERFORMANCE OF JACQUES LIZENE (BE, LIEGE)
Jacques Lizène (Liège, Beligium, 1946), was among the most productive members of the Liège artists’ collective ‘Le Cercle d’Art prospectif’ (CAP), who, from 1972
onwards, developed a considerable body of work in the vein of so-called ‘relational’ art. Their political and sociological standpoints are reminiscent of Fluxus, even though
Lizène prefers to designate his own work as “Non-Fluxus.” Whereas Fluxus embraces life, Lizène opposes his work to it: with a tongue-in-cheek attitude he embodies
“vasectomy” and “infantilism”. He sees his projects as being products of the virtual “institut de l’art stupide”; they are “easy”, “unimportant”, even “ridiculous”. He
recently had a retrospective at Paage de Retz, curated by Jean De Loisy and was one of the protagonist of the “Hors Limites” exhibition, held at Centre Pompidou in 1994.
