THE PAINTINGS SECTION FROM DAVIS MUSEUM

The Davis Lisboa Mini-Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona

Davis Lisboa, “#MarcelBroodthaers10”, 2017, oil on canvas, 15,7 x 15,7 x 1,57 in (40 x 40 x 3,5 cm)

What / who inspired the work?

I have been inspired by a photographic portrait of Marcel Broodthaers wearing a false nose, made by his wife Maria Gilissen, during the filming of one of his best known films "Un Voyage À Waterloo" (1969). It seems that this black and white photograph has been intervened by the artist with a red and green pen. The portrait was used to design a kind of promotional poster for the same film, in which one can read: "Musée d'Art Moderne, Section XIXe Siècle, A VOYAGE À WATERLOO ".

What do you hope its viewers will think?

I hope that viewers understand that there is a narrative within the history of art that deals with the artists who created their own museums. This narrative is constructed through Marcel Duchamp (Boîte-en-valise, 1936-1941), Robert Filliou (La galerie légitime, 1962-1963) and Marcel Broodthaers (Musée d'Art Moderne, Département des Aigles, 1968-1972). Following this narrative, I decided to create the Davis Museum | The Davis Lisboa Mini-Museum of Contemporary Art in Barcelona (2009-ongoing), which is, simultaneously, a readymade sculpture, a non-profit collective art project, and at the same time, a cultural entity recognized by the Generalitat de Catalunya (an Autonomous Community in Spain). 

Created symbolically in an electoral ballot box and disseminated mainly through Facebook, the Davis Museum is also the smallest contemporary art museum in the world.

This cultural entity has several sections and one of them is "The Paintings Section From Davis Museum". It is divided into portraits and still lifes. The portraits represent Marcel Duchamp, Robert Filliou and Marcel Broodthaers; while still lifes represent the "Boîte-en-valise" (Box in a suitcase), the "Galerie légitime" (Legitimate gallery) and the "Musée d'Art Moderne, Département des Aigles" (Museum of Modern Art, Department of Eagles).

Why did you choose the medium, the frame format and the color?

I chose oil on canvas because I am interested in painting not only because of its versatility as a medium but also because of its rich historical repository of images and ideas. Only the best materials have been used for this work: linen canvas, oil paintings by Old Holland and medium by Blockx. As the Davis Museum is a cube, I chose the frame of the paintings to be square. And since the Davis Museum's brand color is blue, I chose the same color for all the paintings.

“The Paintings Section” is the only section of the Davis Museum where works of art are on sale. Support The Davis Museum art project by buying now this painting on Saatchi Art.
