Ivan Argote — Strengthlessness
Past: January 18 → March 1, 2014
If Ivan Argote makes obelisks go limp, removes the roar out of imperial lions as they play ball (reviving their instincts as funny cats) or warms up Spanish statues with Peruvian ponchos made in China, it’s because in these days where symbols of domination have become roundabout decorations, that monument-fellers must change their methods.

Bernard Frize — Hello, My Name is Bernard Frize
Past: January 18 → March 1, 2014
In “Diola”, Bernard Frieze’s gesture is evident. There is a saturation of colour at the top and bottom of the canvas, at the edges of the brushstrokes. Throughout the main field of the painting, colour is also saturated at the edges of the brushstrokes, where the paint became ever so slightly heavier from the friction between the brush and the canvas.

Ryan McGinley — Body Loud
Past: November 13, 2013 → January 11, 2014
Body Loud, an exhibition by Ryan McGinley, is comprised of twenty brand new, primarily large-format photographs taken over the course of last summer. The situations are meticulously staged, although the resultant images are not: McGinley’s practice still allows for and thrives upon spontaneity.

Où est jack Goldstein ?
Past: June 22 → July 27, 2013
Jack Goldstein staged performances, minimalist sculptures — but also vinyl records designed to be art objects that recreate archetypal, often disturbing sound bites. Goldstein’s 16 mm short-films — which he hired Hollywood technicians to make — emphasize the clichés of American cinema through repetitive emblematic scenes.

Gianni Motti
Past: April 20 → June 15, 2013
Gianni Motti’s practice has questioned authority at every turn over the years by fully exploiting humour’s potentials as a truth-revealing weapon. If examined at closed range, what surprisingly emerges from his corrosive outlook and scepticism is in fact a fundamental faith in the individual qualities of the human being.

Jesper Just — Exposition personnelle
Past: April 20 → June 15, 2013
Jesper Just takes inspiration from the aesthetic of great film directors such as Dreyer and Bergman, Melville and Kazan. In his enigmatic films, devoid of dialogue, mastery of cinematic strategy is placed in the service of a narrative based on the panoply of human emotions, amplified by the masterly use of music.

Groupshow
Past: March 2 → April 13, 2013
This group show focuses on process and hybridity in abstract painting today. Performance in painting, non-traditional techniques and materials, crafts and design, symbolism, current technology — the works presented in the exhibition are evidence of the renewal of pictorial research beyond the traditional concept of the medium.

Johan Creten — The Vivisector
Past: January 12 → February 23, 2013
Johan Creten discovers the hidden power of earth behind ceramic’s apparent fragility. Johan Creten’s works seem to have escaped from fairytales and become symbolist wonders. They suggest the grottos of the Renaissance, where rules an artificial Nature, Arcimboldo’s and Bernard Palissy’s mannerism and also the curiosity cabinets.

Jean-Michel Othoniel — Les Nœuds de Babel
Past: January 12 → February 23, 2013
For this exhibition, Jean-Michel Othoniel presents four new monumental sculptures and watercolour sketches inspired by Brancusi as well as the colours and forms of Italian Mannerism to the Baroque, developping the question of the lost body. It’s a matter of creating a volume of absence, constructions with variable dimensions where bodies could nest.

Pieter Vermeersch
Past: January 12 → February 23, 2013
Pieter Vermeersch photographs the sky, usually at night, sometimes providing information as to the urban context, but without clouds, which might induce an overly narrative quality in the image. These vague, “negative” colours in the photographs are then reproduced in Vermeersch’s new paintings, showing us colour from “the other side of reality.”

Klara Kristalova Wild Thought
Past: September 8 → October 27, 2012
Kristalova’s universe, inspired by the popular imagination of Northern Europe, the tradition of fairy tales and the observation and direct contact with nature, is peopled with solitary figures, often young girls and animals (hares, donkeys, birds, peppered moths) and chimera that are half way between the Animal and Plant Kingdoms.

Farhad Moshiri — Fire of Joy
Past: June 23 → July 28, 2012
Inspired by Pop Art, Farhad Moshiri has developed a remarkable and hybrid visual language that draws at once from popular Iranian and Western cultures. In the exhibition Fire of Joy, the artist is playing upon the concept of “happiness”, which for him leaves greater place for sarcasm and cynicism.

Galerie Perrotin presents Wim Delvoye’s third solo show entitled Rorschach.

Dan Flavin — An Installation
Past: January 14 → March 3, 2012
In a constant dialogue with painting, sculpture and architecture, Dan Flavin’s three-dimensional monochromes with fluorescent tubes or light bulbs became his only medium in 1961. Though he refuses all ecstatic interpretation, he introduced the presence of the immaterial in the sensorial and physical experience of transforming colour and light into matter.

Lionel Estève

For his third exhibition at Galerie Perrotin, Lionel Estève has developed an empirical, sensual environment comprised of 10 to 15 metre long sculptures in acid colours, with strange serpents and doors in trompe-l’oeil. Beyond the real, his enigmatic works envelop the visitor with their fantasized secrets and recreate a fictional realm.

« Orchestra » sonne sous la direction de l’artiste Xavier Veilhan telle une polyphonie d’objets renouvelant la perception de l’espace de la Galerie Perrotin. Cet événement marque un tournant, les nouvelles formes présentées ne sont pas une négation des travaux antérieurs, mais plutôt inscrites dans leur continuité.

À travers des objets du quotidien et des corps moulés, l’exposition articule des visions de retournement, d’inversion et d’attraction. A l’image du backflip, figure de freestyle complexe qui consiste à produire un saut arrière sur soi-même, l’exposition réunit des œuvres dont le sujet d’origine se voit renversé où le dedans devient dehors et inversement.

Peter Coffin — The Colors are Bright
Past: March 20 → May 7, 2010
When we met last month, we discussed a fairly rare rhetorical device known as prosopopoeia : a process by which objects are personified as if they could think. Contemporary art is full of unintentional prosopopoeiae — to such an extent that we could describe its most innovative aspect as if haunted by the idea of the “speech of things".

“Animals have a unique relationship with architecture because it is not built for them. When we are confronted with the animal’s ambiguous connection to a world designed for humans, we are better equipped to ask questions about our own relationships to architecture. ” Arsham has said.
