Mathieu Lefevre: “Irony as Method”
2025-08-26 13:00 - 15:00 | The Centre, 10052-117 St. NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5K 1X2, Canada
Honouring Contemporary Artwork of late Mathieu LefevreTuesday, August 26 at 1p.m.
“Mathieu Lefevre’s work often relies on humour and mockery. As such, one can place Lefevre in a tradition Pierre-Michel Menger has called the ‟mocking and ironic avant-garde,” an avant-garde tradition descended from Dada and Marcel Duchamp—Schwitters, Cage, Warhol, Damien Hirst. Thumbing their noses at a classical tradition that conceived art as a privileged means of elevating oneself above the banal, these artists delighted in reducing art to the level of triviality, in exposing it to the worst degradations.”
(Fabien Loszach)
