Dorian Gaudin
Second offense
September 8th - October 15th
pacte w/ Gianni Motti, galerie Perrotin
press release
pact gallery is proud to announce «Second offense», the first exhibition in Europe of the
French-American artist Dorian Gaudin. The exhibition will be on view from September 8th to
October 15th at 70 rue des Gravilliers, Paris, France. As it is pact gallery’s identity and singularity to link artists to their inspirations in the Art History, Gaudin’s work will be highlighted by a
piece from Gianni Motti: Revendication, Terremoto, Rhône-Alpes, 1994 (lent by Perrotin).
The exhibition title, «Second Offense» is a nod to the violent movement the artist’s installation will
trigger into the gallery space, twenty years after Gianni Motti’s revendication of an earthquake. It
also alludes to the second personal exhibition this show will be for the artist, as well as it refers to
the sociological tensions that currently shake the United States, where Gaudin lives and works.
« The end is in the beginning and yet you go on. »
Samuel Beckett, Endgame, 1957
Dorian Gaudin’s installation could be qualified as an absurd theatre staging in a car tuning era: the
ingenious interpretation of a repetitive dialogue, interrupted by silences, between two paraplegic
blind men with limited movements (for instance). To which one should add telescopic cylinders.
The gallery space is transformed into an adjacent stage where the visitor becomes the audience,
put at a distance (and in danger) by the controlled and yet brutal movement of this anthropomorphic
mechanic. The artist builds a black and slick surface combining the minimalist elegance of the 1970s
and the meta-mechanic humour of the first kinetic art experimentations.
In short, a mix of John McCracken and Murphy’s law, as everything that goes up, in Gaudin’s work,
must go down. His mobile sculpture of a seeming simplicity is moved by a system as complex as
its effect is deceptive: the surface stands vertically, proud, and attempts to find its balance; it looks
for its function, before crashing heavily on the floor. It gasps and exhales a sigh before giving up the
effort. A kind of single machine struggling to maintain desire, a Sisyphean object bearing its own end
and playing its own fall in a loop.
For his first solo show in a Parisian gallery, Dorian Gaudin chose to make his installation converse
with a piece by Gianni Motti: Revendication, Terremoto, Rhône-Alpes, 1994. Contrary to Gaudin,
who develops an intricate engineering serving a limited effect, Motti plays on an economy of means
by offering three documents suggesting that he is responsible for an earthquake. One’s action fills
the other’s inaction. And vice versa. Underneath it all, both artists stage the void by playing with
(physical and media) scales and on the rather ridiculous grandiloquence of a system functioning in
a vacuum.

In 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded in the Florida sky. Gianni Motti contacted press
agencies and claimed the explosion. June 28th 1992, an earthquake happened in California.
The artist advises the Keystone agency and declared responsible for the tremor. The earthquake
caused a crack of 74 kilometers long, visible even today. In 1994 and 1996 the artist did the same
and claims to be the author of two earthquakes in the Rhône-Alpes region. The information is relayed
by AFP.

etymology & philosophy
is the acronym from our initials: Pierre-Arnaud and Charlotte Trivini.
reflects our commitment to display the talent of emerging artists, with none or very
little visibility in France, whether or not they are recognised abroad.
also refers to the way we design each exhibition as an artistic pact. Thus, each
show will be subject to an enriching conversation:
Either with the work of another artist who
influenced the exhibited works (this historical
work, from the second market or loaned by
a gallery or a collector, and presented within
the same exhibition, may be a contemporary art
work, a modern one, Art Brut, Tribal Art, etc.)
Or through the intervention of someone outside the contemporary art world, whose
work or reflection correlates to the theme of the
exhibition (a mathematician, dancer, surgeon,
film director, etc.)
