Degrees of uncertainty, Jean-Baptiste Caron
Award-winner, of the prize BOESNER JEUNE CREATION for 2012, Jean-Baptiste Caron exhibits at 22,48m2 galerie from 11th January until 2nd March 2013. The exhibition entitled DEGRÉS D'INCERTITUDE (Degrees of uncertainty) and is under the curatorship of Rosario Caltabiano and Nathalie Desmet.
In his quest of a point of balance that might extract him from gravity, Jean-Baptiste Caron questions the physical or mechanical laws relating to the notions of gravity, weightlessness, density or lightness. With the help of a vocabulary that mentions the elusive shift from one state to another -transformation, evolution, involution, in-between or infrathin - he offers a universe where the slightest flaw, the smallest grain of sand shakes our certainties. In his work, a sphere rolling on a horizontal surface becomes a Fibonacci spiral, ordinary objects maintain an unstable balance, lead becomes ethereal while on the other hand, dust solidifies. In Jean-Baptiste Caron’s works, the forces of gravity or terrestrial attractions are diverted so as to offer another dynamic system of concentration of energies. For the artist, it also symbolises the conquest of his own centre of gravity. Nathalie Desmet, Translation : Mathilde Mazau
