Exposition
For this exhibition, Martin Kersels questions the myth of the Olympus. Heaven for the gods, protected from men, the Olympus symbolised perfection, complete happiness, joy of life and plentiful. And yet, after reading Homer’s "Odysseus", the artist observed that gods, just as men, are not exempt from vileness, vices and mediocrity.

|
The GP & N Vallois gallery is also exhibiting works by Argentinian artist Matías Duville in its Project Room. His drawings present a tormented and threatening nature. The ante- and post-apocalyptic landscapes surrounded by steep and improbable edges forecast a sudden mutation.

On the occasion of the bicentenary of Empress Josephine’s death at Malmaison on 29 May 1814, this exhibition at the Musée du Luxembourg seeks to renew the image of a woman who left a deep imprint on French history; a woman of her time, who still incarnates an extraordinary destiny in a society in the throes of change.

Known as “the Tiger” or represented as the Father of Victory, George Clemenceau remains in History and national memory one of the most important political figure of his time.

Roger Vilder’s art focuses on the notions of movement and temporality. This concept infers a work which continuously changes under the watch of the viewer, change driven by ingenious mechanical processes and which induces a cyclical transformation of forms in their proportion of colour and texture.

Vincent Fillon is a photographer specialising in architecture. Commissions and personal works have led him to explore the questions of heritage, cities and their transformation. From a survey, to the issues of conversion, his photographic work documents, questions and interprets.

Paintings at heart, the unique photographic prints are produced without a camera, instead using materials like oil paint, ink, linen or mylar to produce “ negatives ” for exposing analogue c-prints. Saunders paints the opposite of the end result, trying to imagine what the negative of an image must look like.

Matías Duville’s monochromatic charcoal drawings portray a tormented and threatening nature. The ante- and post-apocalyptic landscapes surrounded by steep and improbable edges forecast a sudden mutation. The disturbingly strange as espoused by Freud takes on full meaning here.

Les Filles du Calvaire gallery presents the first solo show of Noémie Goudal, a young french photographer, and laureate of the HSBC prize for Photography in 2013. Many of her photographs show enigmatic constructions, modern ruins for which concrete seems to be the favoured material.

The photographs of Ellen Kooi are concerned with the symbiotic relationship between the landscape and those who enter it. Through her use of the panoramic perspective her pieces are readable as compelling poetic stories. In these stories both the landscape and the human figures in it function as protagonists.

Entitled “Unphysical”, the exhibition invites the viewer to a sensitive experience of the immaterial. A selection of recent works tends to turn us away from conventional approaches of the world — and its physical reality — as of the artwork.

From its invention by Antoine Watteau to Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s brilliant variations, the ‘Fête galante’ genre featured throughout the 18th century. These bucolic, elegant and refined scenes occupy a major place in French painting and the most inventive painters applied themselves to the genre.

(French only) La nécessité artistique plonge ses racines dans l’enfance. Et comme tout artiste, Bernard Faucon y a puisé pour créer ces images que nous emplissons de notre expérience, de nos désirs, de nos interrogations et parfois aussi de nos regrets. Elles deviennent le matériau de ce dont nous sommes tous faits.

In “Parte Incognita”, we travel with a map of Tender borrowed from Western iconography and African Wax, as a kind of plastic summary of globalization. It is with a feminine eye that Anne Cindric portrays the world of power, revealing what lies behind the scenes.

Between dog and wolf, graphic designer and artist, Kim Dohyung resists labels. The name of his studio ‘Gravoyal’, bears the mark of the amalgam. Making use of expansion, he increases in his works the level of grey, structure and collages which in this way obscure the diversity of his graphic sources.

And the monumental “The Reservoir” constitutes a “backdrop” to the entire exhibition, with its depiction of a chaotic bookshop in which piled-up volumes suggest the possibility of multiple experiences, for each of which Matt Bollinger could well have invented a character.

Exhausted materials: ashes, dust, powders, and others travel through the work of Geamoon; they are shared as traces of objects that she will not let us see. Her exhibition, mysteriously titled, “The High pitch sisters of the great Colorial” does not escape her constant oscillation between revelation and concealment.
