Gregory Crewdson

GREGORY CREWDSON IN CONVERSATION WITH THE ART HISTORIAN MICHEL POIVERT 




On the occasion of the two concurrently exhibitions « Cathedral of the Pines » at Galerie Daniel Templon in Paris and Brussels, the American artist Gregory Crewdson is presenting his most recent body of work in a talk with Michel Poivert, art historian specialized in photography.

In images that recall nineteenth-century painting, Crewdson captures motionless figures in both natural environments and domestic interiors, charged with ambiguity. Ever since his nocturnal Twilight series (1998–2002), Crewdson has worked with a full crew, planning his elaborately staged images in a process similar to that of a movie director. His use of the codes governing the cinema of fantasy films, psychological drama and suspense conjures forebears such as Diane Arbus, Alfred Hitchcock and Edward Hopper.

These new works were shot on location in Becket, Massachusetts, where Crewdson retreated, in search of inspiration. ‘It was deep in the forests of Becket, Massachusetts that I finally felt darkness lift, experienced a reconnection with my artistic process, and moved into a period of renewal and intense creative productivity,’ he explains.

Francesco Clemente

A NOMADIC LIFE – SOLO SHOW 


The Springs Center highlights with the solo exhibition « Nomadic Life » the work of the internationally known artist Francesco Clemente. Clemente is considered one of the most representative artists of the Transavantgarde.  For this exhibition, he has spent one month to paint a large mural in the exhibition space, “The Tide of the Ocean of Stories”. His paintings on the wall are visual sediments that embody the deep and profound cultural tones of the two ancient civilizations – India and China. His understanding of the nomadic life is thinking globally and acting locally.

The exhibition’s curator Huang Du brings together large–scale artworks, paintings, murals, works on paper as well as Clemente’s equipment, valuable photographs and documentary films.

GAS STATIONS – SOLO SHOW 


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.”

LE PRIEURé DE SERRABONA à BOULE D’AMONT 


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.

AFTER SCALE MODEL : DWELLING IN THE WORK OF JAMES CASEBERE – SOLO SHOW 


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.
