One day it will be like when we´ve already lived

„Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” (William Shakespeare, Macbeth, Act V, Scene V).

In this exhibition, the artists explore, each in their own way, one of the innumerable facets of the great human Comedy. Self-proclaimed “artist of mediocrity” (but is not mediocre who wants to), Jacques Lizène stages himself in many ways, in often hybrid artworks of which some reappear as remake several years he does not hesitate to produce “remakes” several years later. Here Lizène is appealing to all lovers of good taste: “Collectors, you must acquire a mediocre artwork by Lizène to highlight your furniture and your stylish masterpieces!”.
