Essay

Something exists within the object that can never be appropriated. This little part, I try to make it visible.’ — Daniel Buren

Point de vue ou Le Corridorscope - Extrait no 9 is an important example of Daniel Buren’s work that was exhibited at the artist’s landmark solo exhibition at ARC, Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, in May and June 1983, an exhibition that completely transformed the museum space into a totally immersive experience for the viewer. The exhibition served to articulate the relationship between the artworks and the surrounding framework they inhabit, a prominent and ongoing aspect of his artistic practice. His works explore the synergy between painting and framework, integrated into their site-specific placements they stand individually as excerpts from a particular time and place. The infamous striped canvases, a process he began developing in the mid-1960s, interrogate the very essence of painting itself; stripping the work back to its fundamental principles and presentation.

In 1986, just three years after the present work was executed for the Paris exhibition, Buren was awarded the Golden Lion for his French Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in recognition of his contributions to the art of his time, demonstrating his significance as one of the most thought-provoking and important artists of the last 50 years.
