Tornabuoni Art Gallery inaugurates the exhibition “Figures and Myths in the Postwar Italian Creative Process”. The exhibition presents the creative experiences of artists as they use the artistic practice contemporary to postwar Italy to interrogate the theme of the myth through the figure of the other.

“Dream and action find equal support in it” is a story of reflections, composition and decomposition. Three images have initiated the project: a photograph of a bathroom of the Eileen Gray E1027 house, a drawing of ‘the mirror room’ by the dancer Loïe Fuller from 1893, and the photograph of a circle of a woman by Hannah Hoch from 1917.

(French only) Dans sa nouvelle série, Yang Yongliang reprend cette allégorie en proposant une illustration sombre de cette région idyllique laissant errer des personnages vêtus de blanc, sans distinction particulière, dans un décor traditionnel aux pêchers sans fleurs et dans lesquels surgissent d’immenses éléments industriels et urbains en pleine décadence.

Humorously, Arnaud Cohen considers himself as a post neodadaist punk, an illegitimate grand son of both Marcel Duchamp and Marcel Broodthaers. Mr Kaepplin, the French secretary for the visual arts, discovering Arnaud Cohen’s recent works in a parisian artshow, said : “Keep on pissing on the [French contemporary art] institution, it will end up buying !”

Julião Sarmento combines fragments of photographs and texts with his graphic images executed in graphite. Human silhouettes, architectural images and words are subjected to the same process of obliteration, effected by means of a cinematographic approach to framing the subjects, an unfinished gesture or a thick layer of acrylic paint that swallows them up.

Chiharu Shiota combines performance, body art and installations in a process that places the body at the centre of her sculptural work. Her artistic language was influenced by pioneering artists Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse and Ana Mendieta, both in terms of physical experimentation and the focus on the unconscious, and the choice of delicate materials.

The Backslash gallery présent “Backstage”, a new exhibition curated by Mathieu Mercier. The artist has chosen to put together a group of visual artists, stylists, architects and graphic designers who have worked with him in the past. Their theme is the relationship to space, a relationship expressed via the different backgrounds of each artist.

Martin Lord presents a large array of works illustrating his artistic approach in an atmosphere fusing incoherent events with obscure settings inspired by 1950s film noir and poster art. Visitors are invited to play detective and unravel the cryptic enigma put forth by the artist.

(French only) Daniel Schlier renoue avec une tradition de la représentation où toute tentative de narration et de compréhension est vouée à l’échec. Sa peinture est celle de la confrontation des styles et des techniques, de la déstabilisation et de l’égarement.

While the first part of the exhibition “Regard sur nos productions” focused on the productions inherited from conceptualism and post-conceptualism, the second part will concentrate more on images. The first exhibition of 2012 will allow us to pursue the discovery of the publisher mfc-michèle didier’s work.

(French only) La destination d’un voyage n’est pas primordiale : il est en effet des voyages vers nulle part qui se révèlent bouleversants. Claire Tabouret nous emmène vers un ailleurs sans nom, à l’identité flottante et aux contours noyés dans la pénombre. Isolée du continent, l’île est à la fois un espace clos aux frontières non négociables et le refuge du naufragé.

(French only) Wang Keping est l’un des fondateurs du premier groupe d’artistes chinois non-officiels baptisé Xing Xing Les Etoiles. Réfractaire à toute forme d’idéologie, la sculpture de Wang Keping, dans sa recherche de la plus extrême simplicité mise en œuvre avec une étonnante économie de moyens, exalte tantôt le corps féminin, tantôt celui de l’oiseau.

You’ll enter this new exhibition by Didier Trenet in a winner’s mood. The programmatic title of this selection of works suggests a content with the perfect balance: 50% exploit, 50% ridiculous, in the 18th century sense of this word. Didier Trenet’s work is born splendid, and spreads on many supports the unchaste mating of a shameless technical mastery with the art of jokes.

Ahoy, an island! is an exhibition devoted to the contemporary British art scene, even as a scene such as this cannot exist in and for itself, but may instead be an object of description, analysis, and fantasy.

Jonathan Lasker, an ardent believer in the vitality of painting as a medium for artistic expression, rebelled against the pervasiveness of conceptual art. He was inspired by two of his professors, Richard Artschwager and Susan Rothenberg, amongst others. He gives new breath to painting by introducing basic pictorial elements such as lines, colours, and textures.

Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac announces an exhibition of new works on square screen-reprinted Plexiglas by French artist, Jean-Marc Bustamante. This new body of work, titled Colorito-Colorado, refers to the Renaissance era during which the determining characteristic of the Venetian school was colour, rather than drawing.

Bringing together such different works by two great masters in the history of photography is not self-evident. There are many points of convergence, but their styles are profoundly different. The American’s immobility contrasts with Frenchman’s fluidity. They both travelled to Mexico during the same period and they crossed paths in New York in 1935.

Hirst’s spot paintings are among the most distinctive in contemporary art, a symbol that is recognized universally, cutting across boundaries of culture and language. Beginning with the first spot painting created in 1986, to the most recent works, this exhibition will present Hirst’s “world of spots” in a truly global context.

Vincent Beaurin creates his exhibitions as if they were landscapes. Each piece of work is positioned in the space, in the same way as the many different places which compose a landscape. They attract and produce an effect that, due to its unusual quality, some have called aura. This radiance is more consistent with gravity and electromagnetic force.

Curls, Kinks and Waves sets a stage — an abstract scene of fragmented landscapes, wavy horizons, and sensual feminine silhouettes. Hill’s new work moves away from the blacked-out gravitas seen in his 2008 solo exhibition with David Kordansky Gallery in Los Angeles, attending to issues of market, wealth and regionalism through the whimsical and subtly erotic lines.

In TBA de nouveau subtle temporal disorientations are framed and contingencies foregrounded as physical entanglements mirror visual ones. For this show Hagen manipulates the materials of burlap, acrylic house paint, cement, and obsidian through numerous controlled and surrendered processes and serialization to explore categorical slippages of value.
