Copy of the dictionary (Petit Larousse Illustr\u00e9, 1966).<\/h1>\n

Gilles Barbier has been copying the 1966 edition of the Petit Larousse Illustr\u00e9 dictionary since the early 90s. The origin of this work lies in a conceptual device, the Game of Life<\/em>, imagined by the artist in 1992. <\/span>Composed of a checkerboard where a pawn moves randomly, this game delivers statements. ” Working on Sundays<\/a><\/em> “was the one that triggered the copy protocol! A nod to Sunday painters and a monumental task \u00e0 la Bouvard et P\u00e9cuchet, copying the dictionary has nonetheless, over time, become an integral part of work, generating its own architecture, its own time and its own ecosystem. In fact, if Gilles Barbier’s work were a city, this copy would play the role of a subway line! Line 1 to be precise. Crossing it from one end to the other, we could take it from the “de A \u00e0 Alpha” station. Then get off at “de Minage<\/a> \u00e0 Naufrag\u00e9(e)<\/a> ” (from “Mining” to “Shipwrecked”). We don’t know the name of the terminus, which is still under construction, but the many other lines that already cross this line 1 allow the traveller to jump into other trains, heading off in other directions… A significant way of visiting Gilles Barbier’s universe, and its colossal amplitude. <\/p>\n
