Soho20chelsea Gallery is pleased to announce Francine LeClercq's upcoming exhibition.
The chosen title, mise en [s]cne in view of its inferred meaning : the act of stage setting, or more
pertinently: the surrounding of an event, with a bracketed "s", is a virtual gloss laid over none other
but the illustrious title of Leonardo da Vinci's La Cène more commonly known in English as The Last
Supper. One of the most enigmatic paintings yet known not only by virtue of its dismal state and the
difficulties of its restoration but equally by the complexities and the multitude of clues that has engaged
generations of copyists and thinkers, resurrected as it were in Francine LeClercq's in situ installation
seeming like a clinical autopsy with a disembodied table, it serves as a backdrop to find the ancestral
link of painting and its context back to da Vinci's mural.
This is Francine LeClercq's third solo exhibition in which she continues to investigate the conditions
and parameters by which a work whether selected i.e. ready made or produced can be brought to the
fore and be judged as art, from inception, the modes and conventions of its production, context and
specificity, to its existential status vis--vis the viewer.
This exhibition is made possible through a generous fellowship from Soho20Chelsea
