Artist’s writings

“Morellet’s texts should be seen as both the antidote and the hidden face of his oeuvre. They reveal his work in all its paradoxes, and it is these contradictions that best reveal its workings, both apparent and secret. Salvos of words, puns, spoonerisms, palindromes, homophonies, homologies…all these figures of wordplay are embraced with a zest and a petulance that have no regard for propriety and decorum.”

Henry-Claude Cousseau, extract from the preface Mais comment taire mes commentaires, beaux-arts de Paris les éditions, 2011
