Swiss artist François Dey (1981) is attracted by the continuous flux of life in which nothing is basically fixed. Therefore improvisation and unexpected contexts make as much sense as well prepared plans and thought over constructions, whether in the physical reality or our mind. Also language is used breaking the laws of idiom and spelling which makes his written texts look peculiar and even shabby. For him it is a way to get out of the prison of too much treaded roads we already know of.

GLENN LIGON, I Am A Man, 2011

p.o.r.

In 1968, at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, hundreds of black sanitation workers in Memphis went on strike. Famously, they carried signs reading, “I AM A MAN”. This statement “I AM A MAN” started out as an exasperated cry from an oppressed minority to be treated as human. The posters were carried by the workers on strike that drew Martin Luther King Jr. to Memphis, Tennessee the first week of April 1968. After King’s assassination later that week, the poster became a nationally recognized symbol of the struggle for equality and humanity. Twenty years later, Ligon replicated those signs in his painting Untitled, 1988. Working through the legacy of the civil rights movement he has found his artistic voice: this was one of Ligon’s earliest paintings to include appropriated text, an exploration that continues to this day.
