Nicolas KOCH The exhibition that could have taken place, n°2 Year of production: 2018 Material: wooden box, bronze hanging system (screws, nails, hooks) and associated cartel Dimensions: nc Biography, presentation of the artistic approach: Nicolas Koch's career is limpid. Above all other criteria, his dependence on the event, on "what happens", as well as on this other no less important criterion, the reaction, or not. Taken to its logical extreme, this way of operating implies doing with the means at hand, to manage, according to the event, according to the means available, the artistic response adopting the turn of a specific adaptation to a given context, a context in which to sink rather than reject, fight or ignore it. We make do with what we have, understand, with what we find. In view of his so unconventional "method": his life and work, in a hazardous way, overlap from time to time. Something happens or not. We improvise, if need be, if the urge comes. And if the desire is for something other than creative implementation, it doesn't matter. It will be for another time.
