Object, image, product, and document on a single surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoulène’s practice has long moved between object, product, photograph, document, and display. His works often resist the category of conventional sculpture, treating objects as things already implicated in systems of production, use, labour, and circulation. This poster is not an editioned artist’s multiple, and should not be overstated as such. But it is unusually aligned with the artist’s own logic: the bottle that appears on it is already an object that refuses easy classification — product, specimen, prop, sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe poster does not become an object because the artist declares it one. It becomes legible as an object because Moulène’s practice already operates through that ambiguity — and because this printed support has survived its temporary function. Scarce in circulation rather than rare in the strict editioned sense. A modest institutional poster, now reclassified through retention, handling, ownership, and renewed display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaper as announcement. Image as object.

Failure here is not an unintended result but an artistic procedure — a position staked against the fantasy of perfection that JOUANNAIS identifies as the shared pressure of both iconoclasm and iconolatry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe selection moves between BLAZY’s unstable materials, DIETMAN’s resistant humour, KELLEY’s collapsed stuffed forms and PARIS’s arrangement of milk and coffee as a fragile modernist grid.
