Renowned photographer David LaChapelle will exhibit six large-scale photographs from his Gas Stations series.  Inspired in part by Edward Hopper’s painting Gas (1940), LaChapelle created scale models using common, found objects, which he then photographed on location in the rainforest of Maui. The natural landscape of the rainforest envelops the fabricated structures of the gas stations, acting at once as a generative force and a destructive one.  The work is a commentary on our reliance on fossil fuels and “the absurdity of our attempts to harness nature.”

The illustrator and painter Valerio Adami is widely regarded as an eminent representative of Italian Pop art. His exhibition in the Secession’s Grafisches Kabinett is the artist’s first solo show in Austria and showcases a series of paintings from his less well-known early oeuvre. Created before 1964, these works stand out for the particularly dynamic interplay between expressive abstraction and stylized figuration.

The work «Love like Blood (dein Junker Meese “Babyface”) » by Jonathan Meese can be seen in this exhibition offering a dialogue between the German and the French art scene since impressionism. Pictures by Auguste Renoir stand alongside Max Libermann’s, the “fauve” André Derain faces flamboyant paintings by the expressionists Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and works by Aurélie Nemours and Hans Hartung complete the presentation of a common history and present. The masterpieces from both sides of the Rhine testify of mutual influences and the fascination as well as the research and questionning the other.

Within the framework of the IN SITU show, bringing together landmarks and contemporary art, in the French region Languedoc Roussillon Midi Pyrénées, Daniel Dezeuze presents in the church of Boule d’Amont his grid works nefs (2010, 2011).
Set on the ground, alone or within an ensemble, the volume of these grids inhibites the space based on the concept of cutting outs and empty forms. The architectural reference in the grids seems to reflect the structure of the church.

Valerio Adami is one of the main figures of the Narrative Figuration movement whose works are inspired by photographic documents and the style of comic books.

Following a major retrospective at the Haus der Kunst in Munich, BOZAR opens its doors to James Casebere. This American photographer ­ a pioneer of staged photogrpahy – studied with John Baldessari and obtained his Master of Arts from the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts). His work is marked by a profound interest in architecture. Yet rather than focusing his lens on the actual buildings, he makes scale models of them, which he then photographs. During the International Biennial of Photography Casebere presents an intricate ensemble of domestic interiors and settings in the antechambers of Victor Horta’s Centre for Fine Arts.

‘Accumulation: Searching for Destination’

Shiota’s installation is inspired by the everyday movement, life, and thoughts of the individual. When travelling, we hold a general wish and try to follow that path, and while the red strings connect the suitcases to the starting point of each personal journey, we cannot control the unexpected which continuously shapes our destination.

‘Traffic’ is a mobile composed of seven pairs of traffic lights that loop continuously from soft green to yellow to red. By employing the lights in this way, Navarro detaches a ubiquitous element from daily life and transforms it into a new perpetual experience, igniting an unconscious awareness of something that in ordinary use conditions the public’s psychological behavior.
