Josué Rauscher: J’aime la sculpture quand elle est monolithique et massive mais j’aime encore  plus qu’elle soit légère, disjointe, précaire, vulnérable. En abordant les matériaux et les techniques de façon empirique et sans m’interdire les maladresses, je fabrique des objets qui sont pour moi des bribes, des indices, des fragments de récits que je dispose ensuite dans l’espace.

altblog – Annabelle Arlie
Située au cœur du Quartier Latin, la galerie Perception Park a pour volonté de favoriser les mouvements d’idées, de multiplier les points de vue et d’accompagner l’expression singulière, spontanée et mouvante propre à la création émergente. Parallèlement à cette vocation de mise en lumière, la galerie mène une réflexion collective sur la notion de perception et sur le rapport qu’entretient l’artiste à la réalité.

altblog – Evan Robarts

Balayer, éponger, gommer, frotter, laver, brosser constituent la base fonctionnaliste à partir de laquelle Evan Robarts définit son travail de sculpture, d’installation et de peinture. Empruntés au monde ouvrier et à la vie quotidienne, les matériaux et les objets de l’artiste rejouent par certains aspects le contexte physique et visuel des cols bleus au travail.

POTENTIAL REMAIN

Filed under: Art contemporain | Tags: , |

altblog-Nicolas Lamas - Potential Remain
Potential Remains is the latest project produced by Nicolas Lamas, Peruvian artist based in Gent, presented at DASH. His work derives from the interest and mistrust in constructed perceptions that determine our notion of truth through knowledge. Lamas constantly creates interactions between objects, images and language to build new associations, functions and potential combinations within a common space. In search of the potentiality of things or the state where an object loses its original meaning or essence and can transform into anything else, Lamas explores how values are relative to their degree of transformation.
In Potential Remains, leftovers and remains of the art school in which DASH is situated, will be placed and related with other materials, tools, works and digital references as part of two -different but complementary- installations in the corridors of the two floors of the school. Each installation is adapted to the limitations and characteristics of each space, taking the ideas of model, copy, value or fragmentation as important notions to think and redefine within this project. Curated by EXEMPLAR.

A LIVING MAN DECLARED DEAD AND OTHER CHAPTERS I — XVIII

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

altblog–Taryn Simon
A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters I – XVIII was produced over a four-year period (2008-11), during which the artist, Taryn Simon, travelled around the world researching and recording bloodlines and their related stories. The subjects Simon documents include victims of genocide in Bosnia, test rabbits infected with a lethal disease in Australia, the first woman to hijack an aircraft, and the living dead in India. Her collection is at once cohesive and arbitrary, mapping the relationships among chance, blood, and other components of fate.

EXAMINATION OF THE ORIGINS

altblog – Isa Melsheimer
The installation’s sculptural elements were conceived based on the features of Quartz’s space, juxtaposed with the architectural shapes of some of Turin’s buildings. Isa Melsheimer explains, « The idea behind the title is my interest in some of Turin’s housing, such as in the Falchera district, and the buildings of Enzo Venturelli, Carlo Mollino, Luigi Nervi, Gabetti and Isola. I think the look of many of these buildings is quite special, very « modern. »
