Tours, France. This Piece is titled “Wrapped in a Flag”, a reference to the quote often misattributed to Sinclair Lewis: “When Fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross”. Less than 2 weeks ago, the United States may have crossed the rubicon. The unfolding consequences will not be confined to the United States. This election will likely unravel alliances, encourage racism, affirm misogyny, aim to justify xenophobia, and discredit democracy. There will be a continuation of divisive language that aims to tear communities apart and dehumanize the ethnic, economic, gender or ideological “other”.
In the words of Churchill “The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays is coming to its close. In its place, we are entering a period of consequences.” Today, in the fog of technology and a post-truth world, those who hold the values of democracy and of human rights need to stand unyieldingly to these principles. We are being tested, and history will record our results. As with every challenge, this is also an opportunity.
So, as the fabric of the United States is literally being torn apart at the whim of a scowling child, now is not the time for allies to accommodate authoritarians, and now is not the time for citizens to keep their heads down. It's not the time to befriend the enemy to avoid confrontation, and despite the distracted nature of this modern world, it is important to take stock of the character of our conduct and actions.
The text on this piece says “Trump/Trompe These are not false friends. He is a false friend” In linguistics, “false friends” are words that look or sound similar in 2 different languages but differ significantly in meaning. In this case, Trump and “Trompe”, (which in French means deceives) are not “false friends”; in my opinion, they are synonyms. The second part of the phrase is directed towards the U.S.'s allies to be aware. He is not your friend.
Thanks to the entire team @murtours and for inviting me to make this mural, for giving me the space to express this freely and the support to execute it.

Anciennement photographe et directeur artistique pour différents magazines tels que le New York Times, Eddie Colla est un artiste américain actif depuis les années 2000 et qui vit à Paris depuis 2012. À travers ses collages de figures souvent masquées, il aborde des thématiques comme la surveillance, la résistance ou l’isolement dans nos sociétés contemporaines. Sur cette pièce inédite, on découvre un personnage à la présence fantomatique sur du papier peint marouflé sur bois, comme arraché du mur. Le travail d’Eddie Colla convoque ici la mémoire des lieux et nous invite à appréhender le temps entre mémoire intime et récit collectif.

[en] Eddie Colla, Echo
Eddie Colla, formerly a photographer and art director for publications including The New York Times, is an American artist active since the 2000s who has been living in Paris since 2012. Through his collages of often masked figures, he explores themes such as surveillance, resistance, and isolation in contemporary society.
In this previously unseen work, a ghostly figure emerges from wallpaper mounted on wood, as though torn directly from a wall. Here, Eddie Colla’s practice evokes the memory of places and invites us to reflect on time, somewhere between intimate memory and collective narrative.

VERNISSAGE

"La Quadrature du Cercle »

VERNISSAGE LE 30 MAI 14H/19H

40, rue Volta Paris 75003
**

La Quadrature du Cercle invite ici plus de quatre-vingts artistes contemporains à relever un défi, non pas pour le résoudre, mais pour en explorer toutes les potentialités. Leur terrain de jeu : le tondo, cette forme circulaire héritée de la Renaissance – de Giotto à Michel-Ange – longtemps associée au sacré, à l’harmonie cosmique et à la perfection formelle. Ici, le tondo se libère de ses références historiques et devient un espace d’expérimentation radicale, où peinture, dessin, collage, photographie et techniques mixtes se confrontent et se répondent.

Une exposition en partenariat avec @joelknafo @jkgallery

Eddie Colla et moi avons collaboré sur une ligne de vêtements que nous présenterons ce week-end, du 17 au 19 avril, au @lepetitprieure 5 rue du Grand Prieuré dans le 11e arrondissement, près du métro Oberkampf.

« Quae Derelicta » est la première collection que nous avons créée pour ce projet. Chaque pièce est unique, confectionnée à partir de surplus militaires et de vêtements de seconde main recyclés, en réaction au capitalisme tardif et à la fast fashion. Il s'agit d'une collaboration non seulement entre nous deux artistes, mais aussi avec ce qui existe déjà. Cette philosophie propose un modèle de collaboration entre modernité et histoire, et montre comment chacun peut s'intégrer à son environnement de manière équilibrée et durable.

Le vernissage aura lieu demain, 17 avril de 17h à 20h. Si vous êtes disponible, nous serions ravis de vous voir !
