altblog – Ronan Guillou ANGEL

Dans le monde visible, il y a des interstices, qui s’ouvrent et se referment (ce qui résout presque l’énigme de l’oxymore «silence visuel»). Et quand vous suivez ce signe murmuré vous parvenez à entrevoir ce qu’il y a «derrière». Wim Wenders (Extrait du texte du livre Angel de Ronan Guillou, paru aux éditions Trans Photographic Press).

Galerie photographique BJ, Paris. 05.03.2014 > 20.04.2014.
Vernissage et signature du livre le 4 mars à 18h30, 92 rue du Cherche-Midi, 75006 Paris.


ALBARELLI FOR ALL SORES

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

altblog – Johan TahonIn his early twenties Johan Tahon dug up in the center of Ghent a majolica milk jug. It proved to be an important discovery: it was made by the Antwerp ceramist of Italian descent Guido Andries. Andries introduced majolica in the Netherlands and in 1520 put up a kiln in the Kammenstraat, not far from where gallery Valerie Traan is now located. Johan Tahon shows for the first time his versions of the albarello, or pharmacist’s pot, capriciously covered with white enamel.

altblog – Mia Marfurtaltblog – Claudia Comte

Elevation 1049 est la première d’une série d’expositions in situ créées à partir des spécificités d’une saison et d’un lieu, sous l’impulsion des curateurs Neville Wakefield et Olympia Scarry Elle se déroulera dans et sur les hauteurs de Gstaad, et fera exclusivement appel à des artistes suisses. Comme le titre l’indique, la plupart des œuvres seront exposées à l’extérieur, situées dans et définies par le paysage qu’elles habitent. Proposé en plein hiver, Elevation 1049 troquera les limites du cube blanc contre l’immense toile de fond enneigée d’un paysage alpin. En se servant de l’altitude comme échelle de mesure, chaque projet, à sa façon, marquera la séparation entre la terre et le ciel, le paradis et l’enfer. En traçant les contours de ce qui se trouve sous nos pieds et de nos aspirations à nous élever, Elevation 1049 établira la carte de ce territoire.
Sélections de sites Internet: Alexandra Bachzetsis, Olaf Breuning, Christoph Büchel, Claudia Comte, Urs Fischer, Gianni Jetzer, Mia Marfurt, Pipilotti RistKilian RüthemannOlympia Scarry, Roman Signer, Tobias Spichtig and Not Vital.

Elevation 1049, Gstaad. 27.01.2014 > 08.03.2014. L’exposition est gratuite.

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.
