Robert Filliou unconventional genius
“Living, playing and loving belong to the sphere of genius; the institution of the State, the police, factories and the family are, though, the outcome of our talents.” Such was the notion of Robert Filliou, born in 1926, a French cult artist, member of Fluxus and one of the most unconventional figures on the artistic scene during the second half of the twentieth century.
Macba in Barcelona now dedicates a vast retrospective to Filliou and his work: 180 pieces – videos of his performances, sculptures and documents – spread over a career which spanned thirty years. Particular characteristics? A subtle and constant sense of humour and abundance of play on words set against the poverty of the materials and extreme formal simplicity.
