PAPERWORK AND THE WILL OF CAPITAL

Simon-2016-24th-Street-Install-8


As the starting points of Paperwork and the Will of Capital, Taryn Simon drew inspiration from George Sinclair’s 19th century horticultural study – a book containing dried grass specimens that inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution – and historical photographs of the signings of political accords between leaders of the 44 countries present at the 1944 United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference, in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire.

Ulay_MOT 2
MOT International presents Ulay’s first solo exhibition in Brussels. Referencing his 1970s series Anagramatic Bodies, new photo collages feature German actresses Nina Hoss and Iris Berben, together with models Lily McMenamy and Stella Lucia, while works from the artist’s photographic archive cumulatively recount his nomadic, itinerant life over the past forty years. The exhibition includes rarely-presented projects produced during his career defining collaboration with Marina Abramović, such as the artist’s extensive personal documentation of 1988’s The Great Wall Walk in diaries, drawings and a pair of seven metre scrolls, in addition to photographs recording the artist’s time in the Central Australian Desert (1979) with members of the aboriginal Pintubi community.

altblog – Adrien Vescovi – 2016

Si les rêves avaient des titres, celui que Jagna Ciuchta a fait au début de sa résidence serait “Sequoia Dream”, “Le rêve du séquoia” en français. Cet arbre géant qu’elle a associé à son travail ici donne à ce rêve une dimension optimiste. Sans en pousser plus loin l’interprétation, le titre du rêve de l’artiste est aussi celui de cette exposition dans son atelier, faisant de celle-ci un espace à part… Avec: Pascal Butto, Nina Childress, Jagna Ciuchta, Suzanne Husky, Bernard Jeufroy, Miika, Nathanaëlle Puaud, Adrien Vescovi et des artistes anonymes.

altblog-EtienneCourtois
Following visits of fifty-some artists studios in Belgium, the gallery will present works by nine very diverse and emerging artists. The title of the exhibition not only refers to the eponymous restaurant in Ghent where the idea was born during a lunch meeting in between studio visits. It also underlines the ambition of these nine artists as well as the purpose of the show, to put a spotlight on talented artists who haven’t yet had many opportunities to showcase their works: Sarah Caillard, Étienne Courtois, Kasper De Vos, Douglas Eynon, Julien Goniche, Liesbeth Henderickx, Alejandra Hernández, Sanam Khatibi and Klaas Vanhee.

MATÉRIALITÉ(S) PHOTOGRAPHIQUE

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

Remi_Bragard
Les pratiques des artistes invités ( Rémi BragardAnne-Valérie Gasc, Stéphanie Majoral, Josué Rauscher et Yves Schemoul) réinterrogent le double statut de la photographie : à la fois objet et médium (intermédiaire/moyen/support). Les productions qui en résultent se situent souvent aux croisements de différents médiums manifestant leurs porosités grandissantes et l’éclatement de leurs frontières. Ces pratiques hybrides émergeant dans le champ de la photographie débordent de fait vers le champ plus large de l’art contemporain. Jusqu’à étendre l’image à d’autres champs, à tous les champs. Le premier volet Image/objet pour l’année 2016 se déclinera autours de pratiques qui spatialisent l’image, perturbant les catégories. L’image se fait sculpture, sort du cadre, prend forme, s’augmente, devient volume, se déploie au delà de sa planéité. Commissariat : Doriane Souilhol
