A text by the painter, writer and poet, begun in 1959 as a student and finalized half a century later.
Marcel Alocco was born in 1937 in Nice (France) where he has practically always lived and worked. Both an artist and a writer, he belongs to the
School of Nice, from the first exhibition with
Fluxus in the years 1960, to his contribution to the nascent analytical painting (later called
Supports/Surfaces). From 1973 to now he has developed a genuine work rooted in his “Idéogrammaire” (Ideo-grammar) followed by the variations of his “Fragments du Patchwork” (Patchwork Fragments) and “Détissages” (Unweaving), works on cultures' writing crafts and memories, which are themes he has simultaneously tackled in his literary production.
