Unlimited Joy

Store Collection Surfaces Utiles
€30,00

In 'Unlimited Joy', Maxime Le Bon fucks with the codes of the press cartoon, magnifying a few bestial inclinations of ours by turning them into burlesque. Conversely, when morality pops up, Le Bon makes sure to quickly reveal how absurd morality itself can be. In his pitiful sketches, there is no difference between a carnival and a pompous opening of an art exhibition, or a funeral and a marital joust. Just as they sidestep authority, Le Bon’s drawings point the finger at what is grotesque in our strict social norms.

Surfaces Utiles brings to the fore artistic and graphic practices that play with the limits of visual representation of written language and question the relationship between the notions of legibility and visibility.

With each publication, Surfaces Utiles seeks alternative economic models for the publishing industry in complicity with its actors, especially by appropriating and hacking standardized printing processes. With similar mindset, Surfaces Utiles publishes La Perruque, a 1 × 90 centimetre-long magazine printed in the margins of regular documents, showcasing nonstandard type specimens.
