Contact(s) - Jérôme Poggi Gallery

Contact(s)

Entitled “contact (s)”, the exhibition brings together six young artists whose works question the usual distance required for the perception and representation of things. Without recoiling, working as close as possible to the object they are observing, artists act in the same way to contact with the world and objects.

Angels with dirty faces - Les filles du calvaire Gallery

Angels with dirty faces

The first of a series of meditations dedicated to the body’s struggle in crisis stricken contexts, this narrative exhibition associates a film score with texts through which one experiences the vital power of lamentation. A distant echo of blues music. A musical genre whose purpose is an expanding rebellion. The discordant sound of a bottleneck guitar.

Mark Lewis - Le BAL

Mark Lewis — Above and Below

Focusing on one of the most recent video works by Mark Lewis made in Sao Paolo, the exhibition presents a collection of works which are being shown for the first time in Paris. Mark Lewis explores the questions of perception; in particular attention considered as a sort of counter-economy.

Le BAL
 
François Fries - Laure Roynette Gallery

François Fries — Que vois-tu du Mont Fuji ?

To tell or share a story, the story of a train crossing the countryside at full pelt, from which, as a passenger, one only retains a fugitive image, or the meanderings of a tourist in a museum, his eyes gliding from canvas to canvas, without really observing any of them, retaining in his memory only snippets, such is the painting of Francois Fries.

Laure Roynette Gallery
 
Bjarne Melgaard - Thaddaeus Ropac Marais Gallery

Bjarne Melgaard — The Casual Pleasure of Disappointment

Bjarne Melgaard’s expressive paintings, drawings, sculptures and installations have achieved a unique position within the international art world. His characteristic style and provocative themes have made him a controversial, but also highly regarded artist.

New Frontier IV. Fastes et fragments - Le Louvre

New Frontier IV. Fastes et fragments — Aux origines de la nature morte américaine

(French only) Le Louvre poursuit son exploration de l’histoire de la peinture aux États-Unis. Cette quatrième et dernière édition illustre l’essor progressif de la nature morte au cours du XIXe siècle. Alors que les peintres américains ont trouvé aisément des commanditaires pour les portraits ou les paysages, la nature morte a connu des débuts relativement confidentiels.

Le Louvre
 
Julie Béna - Edouard-Manet de Gennevilliers Gallery

Julie Béna — Destiny

(French only) La première impression est celle du cadre d’une entreprise. Transparence et réflexion du verre, froideur et âpreté de l’inox brossé, néons de lumière du jour, moquette retenant le son. Des titres de pièces tels que Destiny, Opportunity, Flexibility, une déclaration ou une philosophie, des termes instables aux connotations évidentes.

Ghost of a dream - Paris-Beijing Gallery

Ghost of a dream — Gone the Sun

“Ghost of a Dream” documents and critically explores the futile hopes of contemporary materialist society that is constantly in search of a newer, better life. This New Yorker artist duo, comprised of sculptor Lauren Was and painter Adam Eckstrom mines popular culture for real people’s discarded dreams, such as old lottery tickets…

Pierre Ardouvin - La maison des arts, centre d'art contemporain de Malakoff

Pierre Ardouvin — Retour dans la neige

For his exhibition, the artist has created an installation present throughout the place, borrowing its title from a short story by Robert Walser, called “Retour dans la neige”. Through this fictional setting, a snowy strolling promenade, we are seemingly offered (but should we believe it?) a cosy cocooned atmosphere.

La maison des arts, centre d'art contemporain de Malakoff
 
Intertidal - Eva Meyer Gallery

Intertidal — MBDTCurators

On an invitation from Galerie Eva Meyer, MBDTCurators, the curator duo, have created their first collective exhibition. Conceived in the same vein as the work exhibited by artists in preceding exhibitions, ‘Intertidal’ brings together five artists who all sustain a tangible relationship between the line and the surface which supports it.

Eva Meyer Gallery
 
Aurore Pallet - Isabelle Gounod Gallery

Commérages - MAC VAL Musée d'art contemporain du Val-de-Marne

Commérages

Presented at the outset of the project is a text by John Berger on gossip and its ability to create a living portrait of a village which is authored by each person. And in another part, what in ethnography are called stories of intertwined lives, form is given to incidental characters and ways of thinking about the nature of gossip as female speech.
