Entitled “contact (s)”, the exhibition brings together six young artists whose works question the usual distance required for the perception and representation of things. Without recoiling, working as close as possible to the object they are observing, artists act in the same way to contact with the world and objects.

Poggi Gallery

The first of a series of meditations dedicated to the body’s struggle in crisis stricken contexts, this narrative exhibition associates a film score with texts through which one experiences the vital power of lamentation. A distant echo of blues music. A musical genre whose purpose is an expanding rebellion. The discordant sound of a bottleneck guitar.

Les filles du calvaire Gallery
|
|
|
Focusing on one of the most recent video works by Mark Lewis made in Sao Paolo, the exhibition presents a collection of works which are being shown for the first time in Paris. Mark Lewis explores the questions of perception; in particular attention considered as a sort of counter-economy.

To tell or share a story, the story of a train crossing the countryside at full pelt, from which, as a passenger, one only retains a fugitive image, or the meanderings of a tourist in a museum, his eyes gliding from canvas to canvas, without really observing any of them, retaining in his memory only snippets, such is the painting of Francois Fries.

Laure Roynette Gallery

(French only) Le Louvre poursuit son exploration de l’histoire de la peinture aux États-Unis. Cette quatrième et dernière édition illustre l’essor progressif de la nature morte au cours du XIXe siècle. Alors que les peintres américains ont trouvé aisément des commanditaires pour les portraits ou les paysages, la nature morte a connu des débuts relativement confidentiels.

(French only) La première impression est celle du cadre d’une entreprise. Transparence et réflexion du verre, froideur et âpreté de l’inox brossé, néons de lumière du jour, moquette retenant le son. Des titres de pièces tels que Destiny, Opportunity, Flexibility, une déclaration ou une philosophie, des termes instables aux connotations évidentes.

Grace Weir’s films explore the limitations of our visual abilities Working primarily in the moving image, both of Grace Weir’s films on exhibition — “Dust defying gravity” (2004) and “A deep field for the time deaf ”(2007) — explore the limitations of our visual abilities and the instruments we use to enhance them.

For his exhibition, the artist has created an installation present throughout the place, borrowing its title from a short story by Robert Walser, called “Retour dans la neige”. Through this fictional setting, a snowy strolling promenade, we are seemingly offered (but should we believe it?) a cosy cocooned atmosphere.

Presented at the outset of the project is a text by John Berger on gossip and its ability to create a living portrait of a village which is authored by each person. And in another part, what in ethnography are called stories of intertwined lives, form is given to incidental characters and ways of thinking about the nature of gossip as female speech.

Noé Soulier’s choreography invokes the philosophic and artistic in order to explore the relationship between movement and thought.
