Tom Hackney: le jeu mental

Kunsthalle Marcel Duchamp, Cully

20 November - 22 January 2017

Tom Hackney’s works are directly related to Marcel Duchamp’s concept of the instantaneous state of rest but in a style of painting characteristic of the Zürich Concrete artists, not only giving the idea of ‘movement’ a new dimension but also embracing a fruitful reason for the appropriation or reanimation of abstract painting today. Stefan Banz, 2016

The KMD is an homage to Marcel Duchamp’s Box in a Valise. It is situated on the shore of Lac Léman, not far from the Forestay waterfall, which the artist photographed in 1946 as the starting point of his last masterpiece étant donnés: 1° la chute d’eau, 2° le gaz d’éclairage. The KMD is the world’s “smallest” museum and shows “great” exhibitions of internationally renowned and emerging artists.
