The Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC) in Lyon and Thierry Raspail (former director of the museum and the Lyon's Bienniale), are presenting the most extensive retrospective ever devoted to Bernar Venet, going back over his 60 years of making art and including the initial performances, drawings, diagrams, and paintings, as well as photographs, sound pieces, films, and sculptures, to encompass the breadth, complexity, and poetry of the artist's wide-ranging output.
"By presenting what are usually defined as mathematical objects': numbers, figures, spaces, functions, relationships, structures, etc. an artwork is able to elevate itself to the greatest level of abstraction, which was foreign to it. The 'non-referential' is stretched to its furthest limits. We no longer have symbolism, as in abstract art, nor that of form or colour for example... I offer an optimum self-referential system, which can only be contained in a mathematical equation." - Bernar Venet
