ESPACE MEYER ZAFRA, 4 RUE MALHER, PARIS, PARIS, 75004, France

06/02/2021 - 27/03/2021

Espace Meyer Zafra is pleased to announce the forthcoming exhibition of Venezuelan artist, Manuel Mérida. Over the past fifty years, Manuel Mérida has developed a unique technique on the many possibilities matter may offer. From February 6 through March 27, 2021, Rétroviseur is meant to be a retrospective exhibition. On this occasion, the artist's first Catalog Raisonné will be published by Espace Meyer Zafra with texts by Matthieu Poirier, Art Historian and exhibition curator specializing in kinetic art, and Valentina Locatelli, Art Historian and South American Art specialist.

In various shapes, sizes and contents, the works presented in the Rétroviseur exhibition are animated by the hand of the viewer as in the work of Kinetic Painting. The others, activated by a motor, move slowly (eg: Orange Circle Signalisation). Manuel Mérida uses the potentialities of chance to create a work in perpetual transformation . The viewer's experience thus takes a major place in this exhibition. Whether by manual activation or by the action of a motor, the viewer is invited to participate fully in the experience of the work.
