(French only) Cette installation, à travers une série de photographies, retrace un parcours et porte un regard sur le paysage d’une ville, son appréhension, sa construction. Empruntant et rejouant des codes liés au mode de monstration des affiches urbaines, ces photographies entre-collées sur les murs nous offrent des images à compléter.

The exhibition Undercuts is set up between two prototypes of preservation of the motif, two models of writing “the origin”, two monuments dedicated to the genealogy of the figures, two scenes of classification and taxonomy, two places shaping the observation: the zoo and the museum.

The Panorama retrospective at the Centre Pompidou brings together a selection of 150 major works by Gerhard Richter. The artist has been fully involved in the original design conceived specifically for the exhibition which offers a double insight, both chronological and thematic, into his career from the 1960’s until his most recent works.

It is said that in an aesthetic conception of art, the language used must be universal. The different videos presented in the exhibition entitled “Là-bas” (Over There) show us that this is far from the case. The Other, whom we think we know, can actually be a perfect stranger, and the words he speaks can be nothing but incomprehensible noise.

Legend has it that wherever you are in Japan, you can see Mount Fuji. While in residency at the Villa Kujoyama in Kyoto, we tried to confirm this hypothesis on several occasions. The works exhibited at the Plateau fluctuate between: a collective dynamics based on gestures freed from any productive necessity, an incursion into everyday life.

(French only) Après un an de résidence à la Villa Médicis à Rome, Delphine Coindet revient à la Galerie Laurent Godin pour sa troisième exposition personnelle. Pour cette exposition, l’artiste réunit un corpus d’œuvres s’articulant autour d’une pièce maîtresse se présentant comme une scène mobile, composée de huit parties distinctes re-configurables à l’infini.

Laurent Godin Gallery
|
| |
|
Since 2006, he has been painting large-format infra-realism works, representing forms, lines and signs from urban life. He creates a rough aspect and an abstract pictorial essence within his paintings, by using tools foreign to the lexicon of a painter — domestic brushes, or waxing gloves, for example.

Contrary to common assumption, Rodin’s marble sculptures, far from being conventional, give life and form to the modern soul. Not content merely to call upon his sense of plastic synthesis, the sculptor is adept at bring life to a classical material that is, a priori, given to immobility, and his contemporaries saw him as a “dominator of stone”.

Inspired by the novel of Robert Walser from which it borrows its title, the exhibition sketches the landscape which we discover with children’s regard — truly astonished and slighlty disbelieving.

Glaze presents an orchestrated selection of objects which, when brought together, propose to question the power of context, both implicit and constructed, as a filter for determining and influencing our way of looking. The show is an exploration of the pitching of sentiment via the attributes of surface.

After a five-year absence from France, young Berlin-based painter Ulrich Lamsfuss returns to Galerie Daniel Templon with a new series of hyperreal paintings: off-beat and unsettling, they challenge concepts of originality. For this exhibition, the artist has chosen to construct a journey with the portrait as its theme.

The endless spiral of El origen del nuevo mundo (The Origin of the New World) is to be found no longer on the surface of things, but in the depths of the infinite. Defying the myth of the universal woman, the panties reflect feminine diversity.

In celebration of the anniversary of his first show at the Galerie Templon, in 1982, Jean-Michel Alberola presents “Trente and”, an installation combining paintings on paper, a wall painting and a new neon piece. This exhibition of all-new works echoes the artist’s large “Chambre des instructions” installation that recently went on show in the new Palais de Tokyo in Paris.

Inception Gallery presents original works of great artists of Pop Art — Keith Haring, Robert Indiana, Richard Pettibone, Peter Phillips, Mel Ramos, James Rosenquist, Kenny Scharf, Tom Wesselmann and Andy Warhol. Mass production, advertising, comics and other factors contributed to the development of this opposition against elitist culture.

This interactive transmedia exhibition focuses on our relationship with new technologies, and on how they are taking over our privacy and becoming more or less omnipresent in daily life. Automation puts another spin on this new, barely discernible “assisted living” and invites visitors to examine the new life styles that we are unconsciously starting to embrace.

A junkie in the forest is a project about inspiration and wit. It is also a project about repetition, mechanical production and about the rote recombination of standardized elements. The cartoonist’s “gag-master”, an aleatoric device allows the user to compute tens of thousands of unique joke premises simply by spinning three concentric wheels.

For his exhibition at the Xippas Gallery in Paris, Vik Muniz presents an ensemble of nine works that came out of his last project entitled Pictures of Magazine 2 (2011-2012). Here, paper retains all its material brilliance and thereby generates an awareness of our rapid consumer culture of images and the images’ eventual disintegration.

From the Belle Époque to the Roaring 20’s, Misia Godebska was a legendary figure of the French art scene, at the centre of a group of the champions of a symbolistic and decorative art, and one of the most sought-after models of her time. This multidisciplinary exhibition illustrates the prolific creative activity at the time Misia was the Queen of Paris.

In present times, some are calling for the invention of new terminologies that can more accurately discern phenomena affecting our lives, culturally, socially, and politically. Sometimes, the terms that we need are not to be reinvented but merely excavated and given new meaning. Edification is perhaps one such term.

(French only) Vingt‐quatre artistes issus de la nouvelle génération des designers algériens — 12 femmes et 12 hommes — investissent l’espace du Mobile Art, sur le parvis de l’Institut du Monde Arabe.
Chacun d’entre eux élabore un univers personnel dans lequel l’objet, par son ergonomie et son esthétique, suscite des questionnements inattendus.

As part of the series of events dedicated to the arts of the book, the Louvre has extended an invitation to the Belgian writer and filmmaker Jean-Philippe Toussaint, who has devised an exhibition entitled “Livre/Louvre” bringing together photographs, videos, installations and performance pieces to “explore the theme of the book without focusing on writing.”
