We remember that the words “incommensurable” or “irrational” belong to the language of the followers of Pythagoras, that colors add and subtract, or at least their light. Before entering the doors of Pasquart, which houses the Bienne Art Center (KBCB), we say to ourselves that 1+1=3the title of the exhibition which brings together Nathalie Du Pasquier and Olivier Mosset, is well chosen because the two artists play with colors and geometry. And since the rules of their games are a little different, we can hope to gain amplification. We won’t be disappointed.
The exhibition begins in the vast entrance hall with an upright piano, painted by Nathalie Du Pasquier. Olivier Mosset suggested it to him while thinking of the colorful piano at the Ciné-Bal, one of the spaces at the Aubette in the center of Strasbourg. This Strasbourg cultural complex, designed in 1928 as a total work of art by Theo van Doesburg, Hans Arp and Sophie Tauber-Arp, was at the heart of their first discussions around this Bienne project. The piano also evokes music, rhythms, so important in abstract painting.
