Ever since the 1950’s, Christian Jaccard has been using different techniques and combining processes to experiment artwork around traces, imprints and marks, namely his combustions, his burnt pieces (“Brûlis”) and the Supranodal Concept.
The Picardie Museum has presented a lesser-known aspect of the artist’s work: his “Toolboxes”. Christian Jaccard has compulsively created a multitude of boxes accumulated in his studio for over forty years.
These artist’s boxes contain “tools” made of assemblages with rope, electric wire, braids, metallic pieces and ceramics.
This book is a true work of reference on Christian Jaccard’s reflexion upon the recurrent principle of accumulation and collections that flows through the history of contemporary art.
Text by Paul Ardenne (Department of Art, Amiens University).
