Finn Juhl is considered as the father of Scandinavian design. His renown became rapidly global thanks to the unusual design of his furniture, at the same time expressive and sculptural. It was ultimately created to be used. The Maison du Danemark is proposing an exhibition where for once visitors are allowed to touch and sit on the furniture.

Le Bicolore
|
| |
|
(French only) Voilée-dévoilée, enchaînée-déchaînée, la sculpture monumentale que propose Loris Gréaud, pour la pyramide de Pei a toutes les caractéristiques du fantôme ou du revenant. Son œuvre est en effet depuis les origines hantée par l’effet spectral, tant des silhouettes, des sons, des lumières, que celui d’autres œuvres qu’il réactive à sa manière.

Everhard Jabach was one of the greatest collectors of his time. The masterpieces brought together here illustrate the importance of a man who, not content simply to plead the cause of Northern Art to the king of France and his painters, helped shape the French taste for the Northern schools until the eighteenth century.

(French only) Carte Blanche 5 au collectionneur Laurent Fiévet. Si certaines des œuvres rassemblées tentent de capter l’attention et invitent lisiblement à des prises de relais, d’autres relèvent de présences plus discrètes. Le regard est ainsi susceptible d’achopper à tout moment sur un élément qu’il n’avait pas remarqué.

Common problematics can be found in the works of Lisa Beck, Bruno Jakob and Martin Widmer. They all have similar tendencies to produce paradox in the form of the work of art. The art pieces exhibited here seem to call up strange external forces which question their objects and threaten their legitimacy.

For the curator Nabila Mokrani, to rethink the traditional exhibition format through scenography or set design is to start from a ground based point of view — the relevant place to consider a hanging — to allow the effect of vertigo to take hold and to defy for a time the immobility of the body.
|

De Roussan Gallery

|
Historico-vagabond seeks to create a temporal paradox. Rewriting history is a potential tool for positive change. Rather than looking toward the future as the modernist utopias did, by travelling back in time to create a deviation and then offering an alternate timeline, we might change the past with the effect of magnifying the present.

Alberta Pane Gallery

The exhibition extends across two geographies: both the exhibition within the gallery and an evolving space on the internet, hosting a literary experience offered by Arnaud Maïsetti. By writing a text which is in continual transformation — it is to be updated every day in the exhibition — he involves the viewer in writing which is in a constant state of flux.

(French only) La galerie Catherine Putman présente les estampes monumentales de six artistes. Ils ont chacun leur univers singulier mais tous utilisent la gravure comme un art à part entière. Leur familiarité avec l’estampe les a amenés à travailler en grand format, faisant appel aux diverses techniques que sont la xylographie, l’eau forte, la linogravure ou la lithographie.

The purpose of this exhibition is to explore the subtexts and links between the artists’ practices, even though the individual’s work may appear in multiple manifestations. Exploring how an audience might make sense of disparate works by an individual artist, “Degrees of Separation” questions the persistence of commercial trends, whilst expanding the constraints of stylistic interpretation.

Adopting an innovative approach to exhibition formats, Systematic Displacement uses the work of six artists to illustrate the process of construction of an artwork rather than the ultimate goal envisaged by the artist.

Maria Lund gallery has echoed for nearly ten years a current which has now developed into sizeable proportions: ceramics is receiving renewed interest from contemporary artists. They have freed it from its functional and decorative aspects by considering it from a perspective firmly rooted in the fine arts.

Entitled Thelema of Nations, the exhibition gathers recent works by Société Réaliste making a connection between the literary utopia of Thelema described for the first time in François Rabelais’s Gargantua, and the geopolitical reality of the United Nations.

In the super-8 film by David Wojnarowicztitled, the black-and-white film turns into color at precisely the moment when its central character came into contact with an upstate New York lake in what appears to be a suicide attempt. Tracking the journey from slumber to death, nine artists’ works set an alternative mise-en-scène of the rarely-screened film.

For the first monographic presentation of her work outside her native Belgium, Alice De Mont filmed her exhibition in the process of being laid out at Galerie Dohyang Lee several months before the show was in fact set up. In this new film, the artist places two characters in the situation of mounting a show, with a piece of sculpture and several layout plans.

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.

For its third season, Galerie Da-End has invited over thirty artists to create a contemporary “cabinet de curiosités” with a floral theme. Blossoming in this distinctive place, the flowers seem to probe our ability to rethink mankind and above all, to explore its less appealing side. In this case specifically to “extract beauty from evil”.

This show grew out of a conversation between Philippe and Frédérique Valentin and the artist Luca Francesconi. The project proposed to bring into the gallery space pieces of either lived or mental life, and to put together a show in which the works would be made up of objects from reality. These offer the viewer a certain imagination and hence an open semantic feld.

(French only) Cette exposition des photographies de Stéphane Bisseuil et Jérôme Coton retrace la résidence d’artistes éphémère des Bains et le travail réalisé alors par 50 artistes.

The two winning artists of the 2012 “Novembre à Vitry” prize present a pictorial dialogue: Maude Maris’ paintings present glistening forms in an anonymous space, whose size and functionality eludes us, whereas Julien Pelloux presents paintings which find their origin in everyday images.

Invited to develop a project especially for the nave of MAC/VAL, the artist Dominique Blais focused on the various links between the museum, the architecture in which it is housed, the works which inhabit it and the public contemplating them and in a sense bringing them to life. The MAC/VAL has also invited Ange Leccia for an original monographic exhibition.

Clément Rodzielski’s work reflects on the conditions that lead to the appearance of images, the shadow of their reproduction and the meanderings of their circulation. In his works, it’s often a question of measuring the distance between what’s facing us and the provenance of the images, their usage, mis-usage and their destinations.

“Try a little tenderness!” as the song goes, like an invitation to sink into the well-padded recesses of a grandmother’s old armchair. Tenderness is one of the strongest components of human nature.

This exhibition gives an opportunity to highlight the view of Charles Ratton, an expert, dealer and collector who changed the history of the way “primitive” art was received, by promoting objects which moved away from the taste for “negro” art that had prevailed up to that time.
