Constellation ordinaire #12 du Parc by Jan Kopp is a piece of sculpture realized on a scale equal to the venue it occupies. The sculpture comprises everyday elements and objects found in La Villa du Parc and its surrounding park. The piece for La Villa extends and adapts to the volume and context of both the art center and its public park the generative and participatory installation that Kopp set up in a large space at macLYON in December of 2023. That piece was called Le Petit Grand Ensemble.
Jan Kopp (born in 1970 in Germany) likes to record the small moments of our existence in which both human beings and objects escape for a brief time their fate or function. The artist constructs his work in the imperceptible interval between two phenomena. Kopp has been a part of several residency programs in France and abroad, notably at PS1/MoMA in New York. His work has been exhibited in numerous venues, including Centre Georges Pompidou, Galerie des enfants (2015), the Centre d’art de la Criée in Rennes (2013), the Centre d’art Contemporain, Abbaye de Maubuisson (2011), the Kunstraum Dornbirn (2010, Austria), FRAC Alsace (2008), and the Centre d’art de la Bastille in Grenoble (2008).
