GRAND TOURISME
A bicycle with a built-in videogame will circulate
in several streets around Madrid’s former slaughterhouse
Matadero. People are asked to join the game and to imitate the
movements of the bike rider. The artist will try to raise questions
about our freedom in using our leisure time.

Patrick Jambon (1966, Lyon)
studied at the Fine Art School of Lyon, at the Academy of Art
in Düsseldorf with Nam June Paik, at the Academy of Media
Arts in Cologne and at the University of Fine Arts Berlin. Since
1990, he has held exhibitions and actions in different countries
of Europe, America and Asia.
“Patrick Jambon examines the connections between imagination
and reality. He is aware of the absurdity of existence; with a
nonchalant smile he moves in a world of constant (spatial) metamorphoses.
The ironic alienation and revaluation of the utensils of everyday
life is the artistic foundation for the metamorphosis of the props
and attributes used by the artist. The life forms in the utopia
seem cloned, products of bio-engineering, extraterrestrial, androgynous
and filled with indifferent ecstasy, humanity and home are like
failed jokes”.
(Michael Voets, Kunstraum Düsseldorf)
