Camila Oliveira Fairclough — Venez come vous êtes
Past: January 26 → March 13, 2021
Selon Hugo Pernet, on peut aimer ou détester une peinture au premier regard ; on peut aussi la comprendre plus profondément. Si les peintures de Camila Oliveira Fairclough étaient des personnes, elles nous paraitraient d’abord un peu familières dans leur manière de nous adresser la parole. La galerie Laurent Godin présente une nouvelle exposition personnelle de l’artiste, Venez comme vous êtes.

Philippe Durand — Forêts
Past: January 7 → March 4, 2017
En entraînant le cyanotype, procédé moins connu, sur la voie du tableau, Philippe Durand accomplit un geste d’écart par rapport aux pratiques que nous lui connaissions en même temps qu’il prolonge sa recherche d’une position en forme de retrait face à différents lieux ou paysages qu’il expérimente.

Alain Séchas
Past: September 5 → October 17, 2015
En faisant ressurgir en peinture ses grands échalas à tête de chats, Alain Séchas est-il en train d’écrire un chapitre de sa vie d’artiste ? (I will not make anymore abstract art ?) Il se pourrait que les tableaux qu’il expose aujourd’hui éclairent rétrospectivement ce tournant pictural amorcé il y a quelques années.

Gonzalo Lebrija — Unfolded
Past: March 14 → May 16, 2015
In his work, Lebrija examines notions of time, freedom and play, and their relationship to power. From these investigations, actions and gestures arise and confer to his practice a performative dimension. The artist often appears in his own photographs and films, casting himself as a sort of antihero in situations tinged with existential humor.

Progress Gallery welcomes Carte Blanche as part of its program, Alicia Zaton fills the gallery’s space with multi-installations. “I often like to think that my biography began before my birth. With Polish parents, I have always felt close to this culture, to this history that I haven’t directly experienced.” A.Z.

Marlène Mocquet — Les grandes eaux
Past: October 23 → December 27, 2014
The Laurent Godin gallery presents paintings and sculptures by Marlène Mocquet. Excitement, fear, pleasure, preciousness, allegory, balance, imbalance and construction are all present in the artist’s oeuvre. All this simultaneously in a work: contradictory, discordant, antonymic, but also finding coherence in its constantly controlled tensions.

Vincent Olinet — Cloche sexe

Deux séries d’œuvres de l’artiste sont présentées pour sa troisième exposition personnelle : « Young Ruins », des peintures de faux marbre sur plaque de verre, dont la peinture est grattée, et « Strasmourg et les Strasmourgeois », une série de demi-cloches en bronze, fer et bois où la cloche représente l’enveloppe utérine et le battant un sexe de statut antique.

"On each visit to Gérard Traquandi’s workshop, I can’t help but open his cabinet drawers, always amazed. Drawing is an essential part of Traquandi’s practice, like a necessary habit, a means of exercise and experimentation.” — Laurent Godin.

Placed according to the median axis of 360°, the exhibition’s inaugural sculpture, whose metric and mechanical presence informs the exhibition as a whole, the four paintings in the main gallery space result from the artist’s patient and rigorous research.

Paul Czerlitzki — Roots
Past: January 9 → February 15, 2014
“In working with technology, he is seemingly exploring the paradoxical nature of the tactile effects of the real, showing up a possibility for technological innervation and recalling a transparent honesty of the image as attempted mimicry.” — Laura Preston, about Paul Czerlitzki.

Michael Patterson-Carver — Let Them Sell Candy
Past: November 29, 2013 → January 4, 2014
Né à Chicago en 1958, Michael Patterson-Carver est un artiste autodidacte, qui a commencé par montrer ses dessins dans la rue. D’apparence naïve, ses dessins portent un regard franc et direct sur l’actualité, et dépeignent des protestations et des mises en scène de la vie politique internationale dans une approche à la fois comique, ironique, et profondément humaine.

Peter Buggenhout — Ni chair, ni poisson
Past: October 19 → November 23, 2013
The work of Buggenhout offers an iconoclastic approach to sculpture, beyond any normativity, playing with the codes of attraction and repulsion. These works of shapelessness avoid paraphrasing reality, admit no referent and embrace the assumption of chaos and madness. Here appears the surface of life’s backside.

Claude Closky — Diplopie
Past: September 7 → October 12, 2013
Gathering original works made in 2012 and 2013, Diplopie is about confrontations, appearances and surprises. In an ever humorous manner, the artist blurs the line between two representational registers, one arbitrary and the other determined.

Gérard Traquandi — Les jours
Past: May 24 → July 27, 2013
“Days come and go, each one the same as the next, or not, it depends. The days are also those beams of light which apertures pierced in a wall let into the room. A glimpse of what is happening outside when one is shut away” — Gérard Traquandi.

Vincent Beaurin — Couronne
Past: May 16 → 18, 2013
Beaurin’s work explores the richness of a wide spectrum of atmospheric colour tones, creating a stimulating and inspiring piece of art. The surface of the three-dimensional spots are layered with epoxy resin and a blend of marble and quartz coloured sands. Radiant, contrasting colours are juxtaposed to create a burst of intense colour.

Scoli Acosta — Music of Morocco
Past: April 4 → May 11, 2013
“Scoli Acosta’s tambourines are at once paintings and functional objects, diverting the legacy of modernist painting to the realm of the everyday, the hand-held, and the percussive” — Jill Dawsey, curator at the MCASD.

Philippe Durand — Sioule et cætera
Past: February 7 → March 23, 2013
“Ironic and contemplative land surveyor, Philippe Durand keeps a childlike ability to seize the environment as a play space, and a sarcastic enthusiasm as to the disproportion and grotesque quality of whatever sets itself up as important, which he will inevitably dismantle by capturing what lies behind the scenes” — François Piron

Alan Suicide Vega — Holy Shit
Past: October 18 → November 24, 2012
It is difficult, some would say impossible for rock music lovers, to look at the works of Alan Bermowitz, aka Alan Vega, without associating them with the sound experience that such a name evokes. It is hard to forget the fantastic performance of the singer-songwriter, mesmerizing the Palace hall with his magical voice on the 5th February 1981.

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.

Haim Steinbach — Navy legacy
Past: April 14 → May 26, 2012
“Navy Legacy” conjures images of an expansive blue plane of ocean and the streamlined vessels that travel across these surfaces. Legacy is defined as thing handed down by a predecessor, that prevails and continues, as an object, an original idea or vision. Steinbach employs art historical references and builds new roles into a host of objects.

Vincent Beaurin
Past: January 12 → February 25, 2012
Vincent Beaurin creates his exhibitions as if they were landscapes. Each piece of work is positioned in the space, in the same way as the many different places which compose a landscape. They attract and produce an effect that, due to its unusual quality, some have called aura. This radiance is more consistent with gravity and electromagnetic force.

Henrik Samuelsson — Speaking in Tongues at Shitty Hotels
Past: November 24, 2011 → January 7, 2012
What really struck me when you invited me to visit Henrik Samuelsson’s studio was this feeling that a world was reaching its end. In a way, it made me think of eschatology. But at the same time there was this very “Swedish” element in his work related to this place where he grew up.

Aleksandra Mir — Dessins
Past: September 10 → October 8, 2011
C’est la première fois qu’Aleksandra Mir réunit un ensemble de ses dessins en France et c’est un événement. Plus rarement exposés que ses actions et ses sculptures géantes, les dessins sont sans doute la première forme, et la plus étendue, d’une démarche qui formule une vraie politique de l’espace.

Paperwork
Past: June 30 → July 30, 2011
This multidisciplinary exhibition proposes to explore the possibilities of the paper medium beyond the definition commonly spread of "work on paper": material or object of a work, paper extends the developement of a personal iconography, becomes a support for an artwork’s (re)production or can be used to question volume.

Peter Buggenhout — Contes Invertébrés
Past: May 14 → June 25, 2011
An important topic in the work of Peter Buggenhout is his use of industrial and organic waste to make art.
In the late 1990s, the artist launched into a sculptural practice that is anything but normative. His approach hinges on the materials: dust, horse hair, detritus, blood, and cow stomachs and intestines.

“I do what painters have always done, that is to say transferring perceptions, using color, on a canvas. All this in a historical context. I choose axis, I leave to photography its power of representation, and to cinema its narrative ability. I work by substraction. (…)” GT

Philippe Durand — Mauvaise herbe
Past: January 29 → March 12, 2011
« Mauvaise herbe », ce terme renvoie à tout un champ de savoir et de culture, loin de la mise au carreau et de l’ordonnancement prescrits par la loi, celle d’une production agricole industrialisée. Il accompagne et s’articule davantage à une vision où l’expression s’arrange des imperfections et y cherche une expérimentation de la différence.
