Djamel Tatah at Chambord Castle 15th may to 18th september 2011
This picture of a Djamel Tatah exhibition in the Chambord castle is the visual proof that contemporary art has become an obligation. You can’t even visit castles without seeing contemporary art. Even if the juxtaposition of the contemporary and the old is working as a provocation with artists like Jeff Koons in Versailles here in Chambord it is vain decoration of the void. Here in the Tatah exhibition it is perfectly integrated in the space. Art is loosing the touch of contestation, provocation, visual counterpart, fun or expression of everything that connects art to sensation or emotion.
