Jean-Jacques Lebel - Lancement d'une boîte d'archives en édition limitée
120 minutes dédiées au Divin Marquis, un HAPPENING de Jean-Jacques Lebel [120 Minutes Dedicated to Le Divin Marquis, A HAPPENING by Jean-Jacques Lebel] is a portfolio that collates various archive documents from the happening that took place at the initiative of Jean-Jacques Lebel in Paris in the spring of 1966. This portfolio, available in just nine copies, brings together ten photographs captioned with the date 4 April 1966, an original poster from the same year (the third Festival de la Libre Expression, Paris, 1966), a copy of the newspaper of the Mouvement du 22 mars (Le Pavé, printed in May 1968), and an original poster from Jean-Jacques Lebel’s exhibition at the Galerie Édouard Smith (Paris, 1965). Finally, this portfolio presents a facsimile of the 27 April 1966 Déclaration and a unique, previously unpublished collage by Jean-Jacques Lebel. d'une boîte d'Archives en édition limitée de Jean-Jacques Lebel, 120 minutes dédiées au Divin Marquis, un HAPPENING de Jean-Jacques Lebel
Among the ten photographs we find documents conserved by Jean-Jacques Lebel, such as the handwritten synopsis required to organise the 120 minutes or photographs by Manuel Bidermanas, Horace and François Massal, all of whom were witnesses and participants in this happening. They were some of the hundreds of more-or-less anonymous participants, since the likes of Ben, Daniel Spoerri, Harry Shunk and János Kender, Ornette Coleman, Edgar Morin and Daniel Pommereulle were also in attendance. This photographic collection recounts the development of the historic happening that took place at the Théâtre de la Chimère (9th arrondissement in Paris), in the building where André Breton lived, and these photographs were designed to isolate and record key moments.
A text accompanies the portfolio and its various documents, evoking the political implications of the happening – the “infraction” – of 4 April 1966. 120 minutes dédiées au Divin Marquis is a clear tribute to the Marquis de Sade and his work, in which “Sade becomes the means of testing the limits of censorship.”
