Perrotin gallery is pleased to host an exhibition of the artistic collective Information Fiction Publicité on the occasion of the publication of their monograph by Presses du Reel / Editions Perrotin. Following their solo shows at MAMCO in Geneva (2010) and at MACVAL in Vitry sur Seine (2012), this exhibition will highligt historical works. Created in 1984 by Jean-François Brun, Dominique Pasqualini and Philippe Thomas, IFP, the collective worked until 1994 (in 1985 Philippe Thomas quit the collective, embarking on a career of his own). Emmanuel Perrotin met Jean-François Brun and Dominique Pasqualini at the end of the eighties. One of his first exhibition was dedicated to IFP when his gallery was settled in his appartment, rue de Turbigo (1992). Between agency, brand and artistic collective, IFP questions the authorship of an artwork : Their works – in which clouds appear as a recurring motif – are never signed and thus escape the tyranny of the name. The collective exerted considerable influence, especially for their thinking on and deconstruction of the concepts of representation, exhibition, dissemination and the mediatisation of art.
