Chapter 1: Is There Any Water on Mars? |  08.05.2019

To consecrate the inauguration of its two workspaces and begin the first chapter of the saga it offers, JMW Studio presents a poetic and incandescent array of artworks and lamps created by Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert, the vast majority of which are being shown for the very first time. Responding to the mocking title Chapter 1: Is There Any Water on Mars?, the exhibition conceived by Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert takes us to the red planet, from 17 May to 28 June 2019.

Projecting his plastic research laboratory there for the occasion, Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert invites us into his universe, into the cabinet of curiosities he has developed over time, where one finds, against the backdrop of questions of survival, a mixture of extra-terrestrial peregrination fantasies and powerful natural energies. Stemming from an imagination steeped in astrophysics and from everyday handwork on blown glass and brass, the exhibition literally plunges us into an astronomical and trans-temporal molten world that paradoxically radiates both serenity and urgency.

Through the journey to another spacetime offered in Chapter 1: Is There Any Water on Mars?, Jeremy Maxwell Wintrebert creates a cosmic ballet that brings together science and mysticism, community and privacy, past, present and future, immanence and transcendence, micro- and macroscopy, meltings and solidifications, movements and crystallisations, transparencies and opacities, shadows and lights.
