IOMO Gallery presents Scrabble In Babel And Other Godly Pranks, IRLO ‘s solo exhibition, curated by Gilda Ghinoiu.
“The series Scrabble in Babbel and Other Godly Pranks signed IRLO (Laurenţiu Alexandrescu) takes the form of a visual research in which the author integrates the imaginary swarms emanating from the archetype of the Playful God – Deus Ludens – whose extension on the mundane plane is the Nomothetic Adam. God defines the universal equations, creates the celestial syntax of the Sefirot and, implicitly, the map of the divine ecosystem, as a play on words governed by perfect formulas, in which the utterance corresponds to the object of utterance.
The first Adam, continues the epistemological exercise at the behest of his father, this still immature Deus Ludens, His immaturity proven by the fact that He also transmits the genome of the sacred language to the newly born Eve, who, in turn, breaks the tradition of liturgical and telepathic communication by uttering sounds and not sacred formulas. In her dialogue with the serpent, Eve rolls the sacred syntax from the Eternal into the ethereal. Phonologically, Eve is the first to make sounds, to order syllables, and, through her reckless gesture, thus alters the sacred language, giving it an imprecise material dimension. She is the one that brings the Logos to dust, setting in motion all the subsequently generated series of errors.” (excerpt from curatorial text)
