Amos Gitaï - Cinémathèque française

Amos Gitaï — Architecte de la mémoire

The Israeli cinematographer Amos Gitai donated his archives to the Cinémathèque française. Part of what makes them unique is the paradoxical difficulty in identifying the place of “I”, they are more a deformed self-portrait in relief. Such are the enigmatic drawings that he made while convalescing, after the helicopter crash where he almost died.

Augustin Rebetez - CCS — Centre culturel suisse

Augustin Rebetez

Augustin Rebetez’s style is an effusive, shifting mania for the makeshift. Bricolage that is shot through with humor. For his first solo show in Paris, at the Centre culturel suisse, Rebetez has developed the idea of a teeming “minuscule exhibition” made up of a multitude of small-format works: framed drawings, paintings, texts, and videos playing on several screens.

CCS — Centre culturel suisse
 
Laura Gozlan - Florence Leoni Gallery

Laura Gozlan — The Foreseeable Future

Laura Gozlan invites us to reflect on the notion of utopia. She dematerialises the video of her support such that the medium is completely integrated into her sculptures. Form and substance become one, creating an intrinsic link between these mediums. The artist here offers a new vision of her work, using space as the medium for a unique oeuvre.

Un ciel pour Michael Biberstein - Jeanne Bucher Jaeger | Paris, Marais Gallery

Un ciel pour Michael Biberstein

When he suddenly passed away, Michael Biberstein had been working on a project for several years which was very close to his heart: the creation of a ceiling or “Sky” for the Santa Isabel Church in the Campo de Ourique, Lisbon. When talking about this Church, Michael Biberstein described it as a “precious stone kept inside a black box with a dull, dark-grey cover”.

Proposition Lumière - Sator Gallery

Proposition Lumière

(French only) S’intéresser à la lumière, c’est d’abord réfléchir à comment la lumière peut être en soi un médium, un élément d’écriture au service d’une œuvre artistique. Tout en faisant partie du vocabulaire plastique, la lumière peut également devenir sujet de l’œuvre. Elle peut enfin être pur sujet de représentation.

Alex Katz - Thaddaeus  Ropac Paris Pantin Gallery

Alex Katz — 45 years of portraits : 1969-2014

The format for this project seeks to emphasise the interaction between the various supports in his creative process and to choreograph the artistic tension produced by this interaction. The decision to juxtapose works from different times in his creative life gives rise to a narrative semantic space between the works and the periods.

Bois sacré - Musée du quai Branly

Bois sacré — Initiation dans les forêts guinéennes

On the African continent, the initiation ceremony marks a mandatory rite of passage for each individual. For some countries in western Africa, it is the Poro initiation which plays a primordial role in a number of communities in the region. The exhibition examines in particular the secret societies of the Guinean forests: Liberia, Guinea, Ivory Coast.

Richard Hudson - Inception Gallery

Richard Hudson — Marilyn

The sculptor Richard Hudson emphasised femininity in his abstract expressionist work. Marilyn Monroe’s undulating soft lines and sensual forms reflect her luxurious femininity which is comforted by the sculpture’s polish and reflective surfaces.

Inception Gallery
 
Régénération - Yukiko Kawase Gallery

Régénération — Parcours off de Miniartextil

Associated to the 10th edition of Miniartextil, Galerie Yukiko Kawase invited four artists of different backgrounds to show their creations in the exhibition “régénération”. The stored energy is channelled into these sculptures made of various textile materials to create the garden of regeneration

L’Atlantique noir - Musée du quai Branly

L’Atlantique noir — Nancy Cunard

(French only) Icône anticonformiste des années 1920 et 1930, poète, éditrice, collectionneuse, militante, journaliste, mais aussi modèle de Man Ray et muse d’Aragon, l’anglaise Nancy Cunard symbolise une période où l’avant-garde artistique et littéraire s’imbriquait avec le monde politique. Engagée contre le colonialism…

Choi Xooang - Albert Benamou Gallery

Choi Xooang — The Blind for the Blind

Recently, Xooang Choi’s work has begun to explore explicitly “ordinary” subjects. Although themes of society, collective and cultural structures are important, it is always made up of individual “humans”. Choi sculptures frame the importance of these individual traits examining self-awareness and the inner conflicts of ordinary people.
