Pascale Marthine Tayou and Revue Noire is a common story which dates from 1994 when he stormed the cover of the magazine RN13 Cameroon in June 1994.\u00a0Then in the following years the exhibitions \u2019African Artists and AIDS\u2019 in Benin and at the Dakar biennial in 1995,\u00a0 \u2019African Suites\u2019 at the Couvent des Cordeliers in Paris in 1997 and the movie \u2019Looobhy\u2019 (Revue Noire and Arte, 1997) sow small white stones of a common story from side to side, in the lives of everyone remembers to another.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tayou seal it in a new work \/ installation on paper printed a story of contemporary African art that becomes pierce, impaled stack on a steel axis, indecent, on multiple steel axes ascend to heaven, leaves with sharp-edged a impossible reading.\u00a0Pascale Marthine Tayou shows us since long time his maze of rants, his invented fetishes that make him an artist, certainly from Africa but sharer another more urban reality, more focused on becoming, more common, likely to make other ways of looking. This is to state a present time without being Contemporary Art, not scorned, but simply seen as a current expression among others.<\/p>\n
