Collage and the related techniques of photomontage, cut-up, assemblage, remix, mashup and sampling, which are simultaneously visual or textual languages and reservoirs of personal mythologies, are central to the artist’s practice. As part of a five-year partnership between the MAC VAL – Musée d’Art Contemporain du Val-de-Marne and the Centre Pompidou, the two institutions are presenting “Look at that!”, an exhibition dedicated to and designed by Arnaud Labelle-Rojoux, at the MAC VAL.

The exhibition is composed of three sections presented in three rooms and brought together under a single, deliberately non-hierarchical, title. In the artist’s own words: “Naming an exhibition is no easy thing. It is particularly true for this one, because the three sections it is composed of required an overarching title that singled out none. Look at that! is an interjection that is devoid of any intention other than to focus on the gaze, surprise or even mockery, all things being able to characterise the whole”.
