About the
Project

As part of the exhibition ARTS ⇆ CRAFTS, the artist Olivier Guesselé-Garai will be displaying his lettering La Mur murmura on the BIX Media Facade of the Kunsthaus Graz.


The "La Mur murmura" writing can be found on an exhibited work by Guesselé-Garais and it reads in full: 

La Mur murmura crûment qu'elle s'écoulera un jour entre tes murs et fera de ta structure qu'une grosse Gourde. 

Translation: The Mur murmured bluntly and will one day overflow its banks and it will pour over your walls and turn your structure into a big pumpkin.

 

"La Mur" is a play on words here, as it can also be translated as "wall" and then creates a further reference to the Kunsthaus façade. 

 

Olivier Guesselé-Garai has biographical roots in Cameroon and, together with Antje Majewski, has installed a multi-layered network between West Cameroon and Styria in the exhibition ARTS ⇆ CRAFTS.
