Jean Degottex began to paint around the age of twenty. In 1949, Denise René, who had championed the abstract avant-garde movement since the war, put on his first exhibition. Peter Joseph has, over the course of decades, dedicated his practice to seeking the potential in constraint. He rose to critical acclaim in the 1970s for his meditative, two-colour paintings.

MacKeldey renews the genre of portrait painting with audacity. Far from trying to produce bland or idealized artworks, he shuns tradition with pictorial gestures and experimentation with materials. This play of contrast, which is his trademark, seems to translate a sort of detachment from painting itself, and offers multiple means for interpretation.

Since his first solo project, Michael Wolf has developed a unique body of work on life in the city encompassing China, Hong Kong, Chicago, Paris and Tokyo. Although his landscape photographs of Hong Kong and Chicago have received the most recognition to date, the scope of his work goes far beyond contemporary city architecture.

For their collective exhibition at the Baraudou Schriqui gallery, Quentin Spohn and Quentin Euverte, have created a layered atmosphere of chrome and black where the smoke produced by Quentin Euverte’s sculptures and Qulentin Spohn’s dense drawings are also calls for us to decongest ourselves.

(French only) Par son travail de broderie sur toile, de sculpture et d’installation, Muriel Décaillet poursuit sa réflexion sur le moi féminin en s’emparant des divinités du monde souterrain. L’artiste est fascinée par les forces et énergies naturelles venant de la terre dont les entrailles font écho à une représentation intime de la féminité.

The Japanese artist Motoko Dobashi realises works on paper, collages and installations that are influenced by the spatial characteristics where she works. From her culture, she derives a practice of painting directly on architectural elements, perturbing the static shapes by inserting landscapes whose expansion seemingly menace the limits of the architecture.

In the company of the artist. The exhibition premier at the mfc-michèle didier gallery will also be the occasion for the launch of the catalogue for Claude Rutault’s exhibition prints 1973-2013, edited by the Saint-Yrieix-la-Perche centre for artist books and overseen by Marie-Hélène Breuil and Didier Mathieu.

A stretched canvas painted the same color as the wall on which it’s hung. This is the initial formulation from which all of Claude Rutault’s definitions/methods have been constructed since the early seventies. Definition/method is the term he uses to define the protocols employed in his works.

“One of my foremost preoccupations is to not place a subject on a background, to avoid at all costs this hierarchy between the motif and what one would call the picture’s background (I prefer the word space or surface), even if it always seems that there might be strong, strategic and essential elements in the picture.” — Jean Pierre Schneider.

Berthet – Aittouarès Gallery

The constellation of artworks included in “Anarcheologies” pose a question: what happens if the object-fragment itself is lost? Deprived of their usual functionality, a map, an archive, a score, a catalogue, a portrait, a film, or a journey all become an anarchic gesture. Each work proposes a hypothesis of a lost fragment.

An important body of sculptures is being deployed at Galerie Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois by Julien Berthier under the generic title: “Portraits”. The whole offers a large range of abstract forms moulded using materials making up an almost exhaustive history of the Ronde-bosse, from Antiquity to the Modern Age.

In 2009, as I was taking one of my usual strolls through the small flea market which takes place every Sunday in the city of Asunción, I encountered, on a stall covered with old objects, a series of instruction manuals published by the United States’ army in the 1960s and 1970s.

For several years now Katharina Ziemke has worked exclusively on paper. Apart from her ink based works made on a particularly twisted rice paper, rendering the exercise even more unstable, she has devoted the majority of her time in burrowing with a knife-point a finely grooved black wax, revealing abstract backgrounds.

Jonathan Meese is returning to Galerie Templon with a previously unseen series of paintings centring on Parsifal, Richard Wagner’s final masterpiece. A self-proclaimed high priest of the dictatorship of art, Jonathan Meese puts all his considerable creative energy into what Wagner called a “festival play for the consecration of the stage.”

In his essay ‘beyond painting’, Max Ernst describes his painting ‘Le Jardin de France’ as ‘the fortuitous encounter between two distinct realities on an incongruous plane’. The exposition takes up this narrative of co-existences with the collaboration of two artists, Muriel Leray and Anna Tomaszewski.

(French only) En Europe, le paysage est défini comme « la partie d’un pays que la nature présente à un observateur », l’Homme y est mis à distance. En Chine, le paysage forme un tout au sein duquel l’Homme est parfaitement intégré. Morgane Denzler met en relation deux conceptions du paysage et pose la question de sa représentation.

(French only) Chaque œuvre du néerlandais Krijn de Koning est pensée pour un site spécifique. Ses installations, qui mêlent sculpture, peinture et architecture, déconstruisent géométriquement le lieu choisi en l’investissant, créent une mise en abyme, avec d’autres espaces dans l’espace, induisant ainsi de nouvelles déambulations et perspectives.

(French only) Pourquoi sommes-nous tellement attirés par ces photographies de Miroslav Tichý ? Qu’ont-elles donc qui nous fascine, qui nous empêche d’en détacher les yeux, et qui, ensuite, nous poursuit, nous hante jusque dans nos rêves ? Quelle est cette sourde oppression qui s’en dégage ?

Marian Goodman Gallery shows Rineke Dijkstra new videos, presented in the last edition of Manifesta 2014. Rineke Dijkstra’s films behave like a mirror; we see how the young people position themselves in front of her lens, then through one false movement their guard is let down and their real personas are brought into sharp relief.
