Filed under: Art contemporain | Tags: , , |

The Map of Exactitude 2011-ongoin, is an attempt at mapping the Elizabeth McAlpine studio.
A series of cameras, both pinhole and slit cameras have been constructed, the scale and form of the cameras is dictated by the architecture of the space on a 1:1 scale. The apertures of the camera dictated by the markings and traces left on/in the space by its history. A series of abstract black and white photographic prints have been made in the cameras, the light exposed directly on to the paper, which is often folded, and cut in order to fit the form of the camera.

SHIT LUCK

Nicolas Bourthoumieux vit et travaille à Bruxelles à la création de vidéos, d’installations, de peintures, de photographies imprimées sur poster, dont on voit le grain et les traces de pliage, montrant des silhouettes et des paysages désolés, ou des corps en gros plan étalés par terre, comme des paysages dont ils signeraient l’horizontalité, en accord avec celui du regard.
(Jeanne Dreyfus Daboussy).

LISA TAN — SUNSETS

Filed under: Art contemporain | Tags: , |

Sunsets documents an informal translation and transcription (Portuguese to English) of a 1977 interview with the Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector (1920-1977). Lispector’s figurative and highly imaginative sto- ries approach the limits of subjectivity in remarkable ways. In Sunsets, Tan layers the interview with a seductive and melancholic visual language to address values of productivity and passivity in relation to creation.
