In Order Of Appearance, Aurelien Froment

“In Order of Appearance” questions ways of presenting an artwork. The presentation takes place amidst architecture made of paper, modelled on the white cube of the museum. This draft version of the gallery space is used here as an operating table, an abstract playground where objects and artworks are transformed in one way and then another, exploring their identity and functions. The piece explores the different viewpoints that one has of objects according to their context of exposition. Setting up an ambivalent intermediary space on a stage, French artist Aurelien Froment fills it with objects in transit handled by actor Youri Dirkx. The objects were previously presented in a series of exhibitions that occurred in 2009 at venues such as Montehermoso in Vitoria, Gasworks in London, and the CCA Wattis in San Francisco.
