MORRENS & DE BOE PRESENT II

Filed under: Art contemporain, Peinture - Illustration, Photographie | Tags: , |

L’exposition « II » pose notamment, de différentes manières, la question de la paternité (ou de l’auteurité) d’une exposition. Puisque les concepteurs, Rik de Boe et Peter Morrens, sont avant tout des plasticiens, une forme « alternative » de présentation est-elle envisageable ?

Sélection de sites Internet: Ruben Bellinkx, Jens Brand, William Lamson, Marc Nagtzaam, Catherine Ross, Tim Ryckaert, Sarah & Charles, Beate SpalthoffBatia SuterHerman Van IngelgemRinus Van de Velde & Leen Voet.

Les Brasseurs, Liège. 05.02.2011 > 19.03.2011.


THE UNRELIABLE NARRATOR

Filed under: Art contemporain, Photographie | Tags: , , |

The prints Geert Goiris (Bornem, 1971) exhibits under the title ‘The Unreliable Narrator’ — a selection of older as well as newer works — seems to invert this classic starting position: photography does not make an actuality visible, but rather indicates the inevitable human presence in that actuality.

Galerie Catherine Bastide (NEW SPACE), Brussels. 09.02.2011 > 09.04.2011.


MATT GOLDEN

Filed under: Art contemporain | Tags: , , |

Stretching across the various disciplines of visual art, Matt Golden‘s work calls to mind Carl Andre and the minimalist love of making art out of what should not be art. His actions result from using materials to hand, though his interventions are based on an internal logic – the idea that the materials themselves suggest what transformation they could undergo. Through slight subversions his single element works become resituated in the world.

BISCHOFF/WEISS, Londres. 25.02.2011 > 02.04.2011.


I AM HERE, MO FO! — WINTER SEASON

Filed under: Art contemporain, Peinture - Illustration, Photographie | Tags: , |

Ruth van Beek collects random snapshots, slides and family albums and cuts pictures from newspapers and old books.  Together these collected images form an archive in which pictures are arranged in constantly changing ways. Sometimes based on their subject matter, other times based on material, appearance, story or even coincidence.

Philip Miner makes similar aesthetic choices. In his paintings, he draws inspiration from the media and popular culture, as well as personal photographs, design, and art history.

Season, Seattle. Winter exhibition on appointment.

SWALLOW & MOSETTIG AT MODERN ART

Filed under: Art contemporain, Peinture - Illustration | Tags: , , |

Ricky Swallow’s new exhibition at Modern Art presents a mature and dramatic new body of work. These new sculptures form a cohesive family of cast bronze objects, repeating and reorganising a particular set of material phrases in built representations of vessels, masks, and panels.

Klaus Mosettig presents a suite of pencil drawings on paper, each measuring just over one and a half metres square. An earlier drawing reproduces images taken during the Apollo 11 moon landing, which document the surface of the moon in close-up photographic detail.

Modern Art, Londres. 14.01.2011 > 19.02.2011.
