Description/Abstract:

écathlon D'Appollon Exhibition, Chateaû de Montsoreau, Museé D'art Contemporain, Loire Valley, France.
June 10th-August 11th 2024
Holding the world largest collection of work by Art & Language, the show featured works by artists from 77 countries. Confetti football is a five aside match in which Burgoyne seeks to isolate the gestures that inform its aims.The ball is a 2 euro coin size piece of confetti. The players air kicking endlessly to move the ball and score. Spotting the ball, at times even finding it can be challenging , whilst the necessary effort to play this game may be unsustainable. The field of gestures we are immersed in as a result suggests a dance floor not a football field.The 2023 work by Burgoyne 'Confetti Football'-where football is dancing, was selected for the show. The show was one of many in major museums across France, to coincide with the 2024 Paris Olympic games. Akin to an olympic games, each section of the show was judged by a panel of major critics and curators, Burgoyne's work 'confetti football' was awarded a trophy as winner, for the most innovative work in the video /film section.
