Triangle – Astérides

Les mensonges du météorologue 

A personal exhibition by Madison Bycroft

Curator : Victorine Grataloup

From June 27th to November 16th

Panorama, Friche La Belle de Mai

 

An exhibition conceived and produced by Triangle-Astérides, co-produced by the cooperative La Friche la Belle de Mai. With the support of Villa Médicis and the Fondation des Artistes.

Madison Bycroft’s solo exhibition, Les mensonges du météorologue, is based on her film The sauce of all order [La sauce de tout ordre](2024), made while the artist was a resident at the Villa Medici in Rome and presented here in an installation version enriched with four videos and two series of sculptures (2025). Part coming-of-age story, part musical comedy, and part fantasy film, The Sauce of All Order is trained for the literal inauguration of Felix Culpa, who is to join the circle of augurs, priests in ancient Rome who interpreted natural phenomena considered to be omens, including those related to the behavior of birds.

 

Through lies and divination, it is the thwarted possibility of accessing the truth of beings and things through language that is at stake. The weather, but beyond that, reality as a whole, always exceeds the interpretive frameworks we give ourselves to predict and illuminate it: organic, it inevitably flows outside the box, outside the norm, like the exquisite sauce at the banquet of the augurs that we would so much like to taste with Felix Culpa — “if only a bite.”
