  • Catalogue Essay

    The artist known as ACM is an elusive and enigmatic French sculptor, whose self-taught practice has evolved over 60 years at his studio in a pocket of northwest France. Collected by a wide range of museums and individuals, including La Maison Rouge / Antoine de Galbert and Lille Musee d’Art Moderne, the artist’s oeuvre has consistently focused on the renovation and reclamation of once-discarded materials. The works themselves are sculptures, yet they also present themselves as architectures and archaeologies: palaces that convey the natural erosion of time.  Although they are quintessentially humanist objects, the sculptures of ACM speak of a humble and imaginary science, drawing their inspirations from the ruins of Mayan temples to lost Sanskrit artifacts and scrolls.
