Henrik Vibskov is a Danish fashion designer. With a poetic, playful and strange tone, he introduces us to what inspires and influences him and pulls us into his universe. With striking colours and geometrical shapes the artist offers a multimedia exhibition making use of sight, sound and touch.

Jan Fabre turns his attention to the secular tradition of displaying death. If funerary sculptures invite us to meditate on the vanity of existence, the settings created by the artist question humanity’s ties with nature as well as its own nature.

Omphalos offers recent pieces by Frédérique Lucien as a logical extension of what has gone before: works which, shot through with ambiguity, might generate a degree of uncertainty, in fact reveal — but only gradually — their multiple meanings and so transcend the initial subject.

The sculptor David d’Angers, a major figure of French Romanticism, left a great many drawings which afford insight into the evolution of his art and his connections with the literary and artistic circles of his day. The drawings of David d’Angers reflect the intensity of the preparatory work he did to create a bas-relief that could convey a life story.

Capogrossi’s artistic development extends from the surprising debut of his figurative period to the radical nonfigurative innovation of the Origine group, which saw the birth of the “Capogrossi case” that was destined to bring this artist to the forefront of the contemporary international art scene as a trailblazing and highly original figure.

“I have not only made references to the late 19th century Indian history painter Ravi Varma’s paintings, but also to Poussin’s Rape of the Sabine Women, to Fuseli’s Nightmare, as well as to early ethnographic and animation films, to cinema of India’s first film maker Dadasaheb Phalke, and even to psycho-analysis and contemporary events” — Pushpamala N.

Dans Tremblement, Véra Molnar repousse les cadres et les lignes les plus classiques soient-elles, comme le motif de la Grecque, ornement antique déformé et bousculé. Son credo ? Le geste minimal, le mouvement et l’erreur.
“ La succession monotone de carrés, de rectangles, c’est moi ; les écarts brusques de la ligne…

The exhibition When two become one gives Ernesto Sartori the possibility to affirm his position as an author. Motivated by what we could call a logical revolt, he coalesces the rationality of the calculations of prospective architecture with the narrative chaos of a fanciful universe.

Gerwald Rockenschaub is one of the first artists to make use of a formal vocabulary which includes computer-generated graphics. Linear structures, individual geometric forms and colour fields suggest a narrative which the visitor must decipher by drawing from his own mental store of images.

Rock’n’roll is an immersion into the heart of the ‘star system’ of the sixties. Because Jean-Marie Périer developed strong relationships with each of these artists who went on to become worldwide phenomena, he was able to step into their private lives. For twelve years, he followed them on tour, sat at their tables, and accessed their private apartments.

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.

Dark Romanticism is a vast swathe of artistic creation, which from the 1760s onwards exploited the shadows, excesses and irrational elements that lurked behind the apparent triumph of enlightened Reason. The Musée d’Orsay plans to present the many different expressions of Dark Romanticism, from Goya to Max Ernst and the Expressionist films of the 1920s.
