Emportés par la foule…
with works by Pascal Tassini
In the center of the Parc d’Avroy in Liège, the Trinkhall Museum is currently devoting an exhibition to Pascal Tassini.
Emportés par la foule… brings together a large number of terracotta figures created by the artist as well as a hut made of knotted fabric, which recently entered the museum’s collections.
This major piece, created in the Créahm (Liège) workshops that he attended from 1996 to 2018, invites visitors to enter the work - and refuge - of Pascal Tassini.
For more than thirty years, Pascal Tassini has been frequenting the Workshop of Créahm (Belgium), where he created his own house of objects attached to each other by rosaries of cloth knots. As with Schwitters, Tassini’s Merzbau is protean and evolutionary. This “hidden husband of Annette Messenger” (says Léa Chauvel-Lévy) produces, with a similar process, the various elements necessary for the sumptuous wedding he dreams of, from the wedding dress to the buttonholes. Presented in 2019 in the exhibition “Extravaganza” of the Treger Saint Silvestre collection, Pascal Tassini is also part of the collections of the Madmusée (Belgium) and the Hervé Lancelin Pinacotheque (Luxembourg).
