Tell It Slant

Joseph Lambert spent his days in the ‘S’ Grand Atelier writing, knitting “words,” signs understood by only him and attached to each other to form visual sentences, which form a stratum, a geological layer in the heart of the text as if the landscape stretched out all the while rolling itself up, in a twist. Text, texture, textile, weaving of signs. Present in the collections of the Musée national d’Art moderne (Pompidou), it was notably exhibited at the Maison Rouge, in 2015 and at the LAM (Villeneuve-d’Ascq), in 2018, at the LAM (Villeneuve-d’Ascq), in 2018, in the exhibition “Les refuges du récit”.

Zebedee Armstrong never left Thomson, Georgia. In 1972, an angel came to him there and announced the end of the world. From then on he set out to calculate its hour: nearly 1,500 wooden box calendars, gridded in black, red and blue felt-tip, crowded with dates and scripture verses, which he called “taping with time.” Time, for him, is not endured: it is built. Each piece seems to wrest the date of Judgement from Scripture, and holds up a mirror to our own reckoning.
His work is held in the collections of the Birmingham Museum of Art and the American Folk Art Museum.

A member of the renowned Goldstein workshop in Germany, this young artist is fascinated by the limits of perception. In his work, sounds, vibrations, waves and interferences are made visible. Bringing together observation and poetry, network structures emerge and create striking optical illusions. Exhibited in a gallery for the first time in 2020, Julius Bockelt has already been offered a monographic exhibition at the Folkwang Museum in Essen and has been presented at the Museum of Everything (London), the Maison rouge (Paris) and the MoNa in Brierdale (Australia). In 2023, he was exhibited alongside Gerhard Richter at the Museum Sainclair-Haus in Germany.
