(French only) Il y a vingt-cinq ans, l’exposition « Magiciens de la terre » représentait, en même temps que tombait le mur de Berlin, un tournant dans la représentation et l’exposition de l’art dit contemporain. Elle offrait une critique de son ethnocentrisme et favorisait son entrée dans la mondialisation.

As the first part of a triptych of exhibitions based on the FRAC Île-de-France collection, “Interprète.” brings together a selection of recently acquired works, all having in common the idea of performance. “Interprète.” is in this sense the broad instrument which must be played in order to get the full measure of it.

This Michele Zaza exhibition is meant as a small retrospective — works from 1975 to 2013 are shown. At the periphery of corporeal art, the artist brings a metaphysical dimension. For many years he has continued to explore archetype and individual, principally by means of photography and installation.

Bernard Bouche Gallery

This exhibition features mainly wall works highlighting two distinct techniques in Tom Sachs’s practice: pyrography and marquetry. By using fire as the sole drawing tool, pyrography permits to create a work without any additional material, while the craft of marquetry is a complex assembly of pre-painted, inlaid elements.

Devilishly mischievous, the exhibition’s title, “François Morellet, c’est n’importe quoi ?” [“Does It Make Any Sense?”], questions us and alerts us to the touch of mischief that animates the artist’s now well-known minimalist vocabulary of white monochromes, black lines, and neon lights all arranged under the auspices of mathematics.

Neïl Beloufa’s video works do not so much deconstruct filmic conventions as they undo them, dismantling then reassembling the cinematic apparatus into new continuities.

This cycle of conferences invokes reflection on the links between contemporary art history, colonial context and slave heritage in the United States and the Carribean. A study of five portraits, dating from 1848 to today, reveals the cultural and political challenges raised by these figures in order to propose a more inclusive approach to art and history.
