{"title":"Pierre-Marc de Biasi","description":"\u003cp\u003ePierre-Marc de Biasi (born 1950, Paris) is a French scholar, writer, and artist whose early practice in the late 1970s and early 1980s moved within the Parisian experimental avant-garde — engaging with conceptual art, visual poetry, systems-based image structures, and the overlapping networks of concrete poetry, mail art, and artist publishing that circulated through France during the period. His work from this moment sits within a wider ecosystem connecting Galerie J. \u0026amp; J. Donguy, Fluxus-adjacent practices, and post-minimal graphic experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDe Biasi subsequently became one of France’s leading literary scholars and the foremost specialist on Gustave Flaubert’s manuscripts and genetic criticism, directing research at the CNRS and publishing extensively on textual genesis and writing processes. This dual trajectory — from visual and conceptual art practice to manuscript scholarship — gives his early printed matter a particular retrospective interest: documents from a moment when writing, systems, image structures, and conceptual art still overlapped fluidly in the Parisian avant-garde.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection brings together printed matter and ephemera connected to de Biasi’s early artistic practice and exhibition history.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"de-biasi-spheres-donguy-inv-1982","title":"Pierre-Marc de Biasi — Sphères Sphères — Exhibition Invitation Card, Galerie J. \u0026 J.

Donguy — a small but important Paris space tied to experimental poetry, visual language, conceptual print culture, and artist publishing during the late 1970s and early 1980s.

The repeated spheres, numerical fragments, and monochrome photographic field place the card somewhere between exhibition support, conceptual score, and visual poem. Its typography and stripped layout carry the atmosphere of independent artist publishing from the period — closer to small-run experimental print culture than commercial gallery ephemera.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDe Biasi later became widely known as a literary scholar and specialist on Flaubert manuscripts, giving the object an additional retrospective layer: a document from a moment where writing, systems, image structures, and conceptual art still overlapped fluidly in the Parisian avant-garde.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stronger interest is likely to come from collectors of conceptual printed matter, concrete poetry ephemera, French artist-run spaces, and experimental publishing history — a field where Galerie Donguy material remains comparatively scarce outside institutional archives and specialist collections.
