The treasure of San Gennaro represents one of the largest collections of jewellery in the world, but rather than belonging to the former ruling dynasties, the State or the Church, the treasure belongs to the Neapolitans themselves. The most important masterpieces, made and collected over the course of centuries, are shown for the first time outside Italy.

In the 1930’s, Kay Bojesen explored his passion for wood. Creating animals that matched his belief that a product should be “round and soft and feel good in your hand”. The lines in a design should “smile”. And his animals should never be an excact replica of nature.

The German-Iranian artist Natascha Sadr Haghighian was invited to create a work relating to place and context of the Maison d’Art Bernard Anthonioz. She chose as subject a dead branch from the Maison d’Art’s grounds, whose state gradually passes from the animate to the inanimate.

“Pam” is an exhibition comprising four paintings done by the same person over a period of twenty years. Three recent portraits call to mind the technique Monica Majoli has been developing in her “Black Mirrors” series since 2008, in the form of photographs of her lovers as seen in the black mirrors lining a room in her Los Angeles home.

The exhibition, “Sleepwalking”, takes its title from the large work that presents the back torso of a woman sandwiched between a field of words used to describe aspects of painting, some readable others in reverse and an ambiguous abstract space constructed as an architectural drawing leading the eye into deep space.

For her first exhibition at Galerie Emmanuel Hervé, Camila Oliveira-Fairclough chose to gather three or four paintings clearly manifesting her reluctance to forge (or rather to capture) a style, and to stick to it (and thus possibly to become captive of it).

This spring, Less Is More Projects presents a dialog between three artists: the English Richard Caldicott, the American Brian Hubble and the Italian Paolo Giardi. Richard Caldicott’s works reflect the formal aesthetic of his large scale photographic works. As for Brian Hubble, he constantly plays with limits, with wisdom and intelligence.

“Avec motifs apparents” was primarily an invitation to five artists to create or recreate large on site works, typical of their oeuvre. Drawing from the architecture conceived for distinctive spaces, their works often overflow the used space for a greater impact on the visitor.

These two young Danish sculptors are fascinated by the possibilities of materials already overused, banal, and omnipresent in our everyday environment. The accidental has become their trademark, by creating conditions in which materials react in an unexpected manner, merge, overflow, foam, contract or collapse.

(French only) Daniel Otero Torres propose un corpus de dessins jouant sur les échelles, les écarts et l’éclatement. « Summertime » illustre et dessine l’exotisme suranné d’une imagerie estivale que l’artiste revisite en un portrait offensif, ironique et dissonant.

The journalist and author Lars Hebedo Olsen, and Peter Bojsen, the grandson who knew his grandfather well, will talk about the man and designer Kay Bojesen and his time — and the successful relaunch of his toys.
Le Bicolore

“Two Furnished Rooms” — a strange if slightly familiar title for an exhibition exploring the connections between a group of artists and furniture in every shape and form. In their work household items and materials become narrative media on the cusp between art and interior design.

Galerie municipale Jean-Collet

Through a resolutely radical and poetic installation developed for the town of Chelles’ contemporary art centre, “les églises”, Wilfrid Almendra deploys strategies of making present and perceptible which explore schemes of manifesting elements which are on the cusp of visibility, whether physical, social or political.

The exhibition includes drawings and sculptures selected from throughout Olivier Leroi’s career. The artist draws on found and chosen pieces of paper. The drawings are anchored in a specific moment by crystallising it, and are the manifestation of a conscience, the precipitation of experience.

Galerie Laurent Mueller

Designer and sculptor Hans Lemmen researches the vestiges of a world where man and animal lived in harmony. He denounces the consequences of the excesses of modernity on plant and animal life in borrowing the aesthetic codes of prehistoric cave art, a period which has inspired him since childhood.
