SUPERFICIAL HYGIENE

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

altblog – Magali ReusSuperficial Hygiene aims to introduce to the Netherlands a set of practices of a younger generation of artists who employ, adapt, and corrupt the grammar of our accelerated environment to propose a new understanding of the relation between the mediated image and text, and objects and the physical body. The most recent developments in image production allow for a new kind of realism, one, which has caused a further rift between objects and their representation. As a result, our physical relationship with images and things in our daily environment is changing. 
Selection of Websites: Tauba Auerbach, Helen Marten, Erkka Nissinen, Trisha Baga, Magali Reus, Elizabeth Price, Erik van Lieshout & Kelley Walker, Ed Atkins, Marlie Mul, Nina Beier & Simon Dybbroe Moller, Florian & Michael Quistrebert and Anne de Vries.

SPLASH, CAN AND COCK

Filed under: Art contemporain | Tags: |

altblog – Carl PalmSplash, Can And Cock is an art exhibition display behind the window, during winter 2013-14. It plays with the light and the interior/exterior relations. Pieces seem to lay behind the glass to be enjoyed by the passer-bys. Illuminated from the inside, the piece creates warmth and also questions the setting of any shop window or private space open to the outside. Jakup Auce’s new work (Kimberly Clark, 2013) was created for the occasion, while Carl Palm’s piece (Plage de Bureau, 2013) has been travelling for the last months. Curated by Sonia Dermience and Alberto García del Castillo.

Komplot, Bruxelles.  30.10.2013 > 15.03.2014.


REFERENCE POINTS

altblog – Nicolas Lamas - Partial ViewThe work of Nicolas Lamas is based on a process reflection about space, time, culture and science. Exploring different scientific fields such as astronomy or physics, Lamas formalizes his questioning using various media, playing on codes of monstration, comparing objects which seem a priori to be opposites, to elicit meaning and drama. The young Peruvian artist based in Belgium creates a world crammed with possibilities, creating permanent interactions, ellipses, attractions and repulsions, inversions between horizontality and verticality, incompatibilities between vacuum and matter, distortions of logic.

altblog – Dominique Somers and Egon Van Herreweghe - 01altblog – Dominique Somers and Egon Van Herreweghe -02New duo-exhibition with collaborative and individual work by the artists Dominique Somers and Egon Van Herreweghe in Stilll. The content consists of images reproduced from other books, all belonging to the library of the Antwerp FotoMuseum. By using different modes to reproduce these finds – scanning, photocopying, photographing – the original visual material is manipulated once more. Imperfections of image surface and duplicating techniques are marked. Point of departure was the creation of a book, a jury price given to the artist during Art Brussels at the POPPOSITIONS off fair.

Stilll is a gallery working with artist who use photography as a medium. Expect sculpture, painting, drawing, performance, video… from a photographical point of view.

Stilll, Antwerpen. 06.12.2013 > 18.01.2014.

LEFT

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

altblog — Carpentier — LeftPatrick Carpentier poursuit sa recherche du sensible à travers «Le Neutre» (Cours au collège de France (1977 – 1978) de Roland Barthes). L’argument du cours a été le suivant : on a défini comme relevant du Neutre toute inflexion qui esquive ou déjoue la structure paradigmatique, oppositionnelle, du sens, et vise par conséquent à la suspension des données conflictuelles du discours. Ce désir du neutre devient une installation sobre et anti-spectaculaire faite de livres, photographies ou petites sculptures. Elle mélange transparence et camaïeux en glissant vers l’abstraction. Un effort de différence. Un ordre de la nuance.
