Description
"A painter of transversality according to his friend Félix Guattari, Jean-Jacques Lebel (born 1936) has been developing an unclassifiable practice since the 1950s. At once artist and activist, author of happenings and organizer of events, writer and publisher, he is one of the most important 'cultural mediators' of the second half of the 20th century in France."
— Alexandre Mare, Art Press
"The happenings organized in Europe in the years preceding May 68 by my friends and I, unlike those of our counterparts across the Atlantic, rose up against moral order, against the dictatorship of commodities, against all self-censorship in matters of sex and politics. We turned our backs on the art market and all academicism, even if 'engaged.' We wanted to say and do something else, differently. And we did."
— Jean-Jacques Lebel
