Pierre et Gilles

PIERRE & GILLES IN JEAN-PAUL GAULTIER 


This first multimedia exhibition devoted to the French couturier Jean Paul Gaultier celebrates the daring and inventiveness of his avant-garde fashion and explores his eclectic, impertinent sources of inspiration.

The show— which Gaultier sees as a creation in its own right — brings together not only haute couture and ready-to-wear outfits, but numerous objects and archival documents illustrating his most inventive artistic partnerships, with filmakers, dancers, singers and artists.

Fashion photography is there too, with often unpublished prints by well-known contemporary artists and photographers (Andy Warhol, Cindy Sherman, Peter Lindbergh, David LaChapelle, Richard Avedon, Mario Testino, Steven Meisel, Steven Klein, Pierre & Gilles, Paolo Roversi, Robert Doisneau…).

NORBERT BISKY, BALAGAN 


Balagan – the Persian term for chaos and confusion, which can also be linked to partying and exuberance – brings together new works by Norbert Bisky.

The majority of the pieces were completed in Tel Aviv where the German artist experimented an atelier swap with fellow artist Erez Israeli, from January to March.

His burnt bus installation, his large scale colourful paintings and smaller works on paper give some insights into both sides of his ambiguous work : angst and ‘joie de vivre’.

Atul Dodiya

ATUL DODIYA, 7000 MUSEUMS : A PROJECT FOR THE REPUBLIC OF INDIA,  DR. BHAU DAJI LAD MUMBAI CITY MUSEUM 


The exhibition 7000 Museums is a continuation of the Museum’s curatorial series ‘Engaging Tradition’ which encourages contemporary artists to engage with the Museum’s history and collection.

Through his watercolours and oil painting, exhibited in a dialogue with varied conceptual frameworks from the Museum’s collection, Atul Dodiya humorously adresses ideas of local cultural representation as well as the semantics of museums and museum displays. His works also reference historical events from the freedom struggle interrupted by moments of art history.

Jim Dine

JIM DINE, CONTE DE FéES, DE LA TRADITION à LA MODERNITé, PALAIS LUMIèRE EVIAN 


Bringing together 350 ancient and contemporary works, the Palais Lumière offers an initiatory journey through the extra-ordinary world of fairytales, which keeps on stimulating contemporary creators – writers, artists, film makers.

Far from the enchanting image of the Walt Disney movie, Jim Dine returns to the original tale by Carlo Collodi and its psychological dimension. The artist questions the relationship between childhood and the work of involuntary artistic creation.

Jean-Michel Alberola and Tunga are part of the Inside group exhibition at Palais de Tokyo (Oct 20 – January 11). Inside offers visitors a passage to the interior of the self, for which the exhibition space serves as a metaphor. This immense odyssey, both physical and psychological, invites us to walk through two floors of the Palais de Tokyo that have been transformed by artists in such a way that, from one installation to the next, we remain constantly immersed in the works, which lead us within ourselves – from our skin to our most intimate thoughts.

CHIHARU SHIOTA 


From August 30th 2014 to June 7th 2015

Japanese performance and installation artist Chiharu Shiota installs a monumental yet intimate work in the Sackler pavilion this summer. Haunted by the traces that the human body leaves behind, the work amasses personal memories of lost individuals and past moments through an accumulation of discarded shoes and notes collected by the artist. Visit the Sackler pavilion during museum hours between Monday, August 18, and Thursday, August 21, to see Shiota’s progress on the installation. (…)

JAMES CASEBERE – SCALES AND DIMENSIONS 


From August 24th to September 20th 2014

Scales and Dimensions presents a broad interdisciplinary practice joining art and architecture. Rarely does artist James Casebere reveal the scale models that contribute to the “work,” defined as the photograph. This exhibit is uniquely organized to engage students and faculty in the creative process behind the work. The show reveals the artistry of how modeling is handled in the creation of an image conceptualized from specific vantage points.John Hartell Gallery will feature Casebere’s recent work, mostly from the Landscape with Houses (Dutchess County) series featuring several very large framed photographs and, unusually, a display of the corresponding scale models that were used to create the photographs. Olive Tjaden Gallery will exhibit highlights of other projects, including pieces from his Vaulted Corridor, Tunnel, Hallway, and Spanish Bath series. (…)

Chiharu Shiota

STATE OF BEING (CHEETAH) SITE SPECIFIC INSTALLATION 


JULY 18 – OCTOBER 19, 2014

In the same vein as Marina Abramovic, Chiharu Shiota places the body at the heart of her sculptural work, weaving huge environments out of black threads that imprison objects. Thus liberated from any useful purpose, they generate new poetic and moving visions.

After selecting 10 costumes from Le Guépard designed by Luisa Spinatelli, Chiharu Shiota has devised an unusual installation for the Ballet National de Marseille and the Vieille Charité that is both monumental and delicate.

co-organised by the Ballet National de Marseille & Museums of Marseille

An exceptional setting for contemporary installations, since its renovation the chapel of the Vieille Charité has welcomed works by renowned international artists the likes of Christian Boltanski (Les anges, Les ombres, 1986), Gabriel Orozco (Oval Billiard Table, 1996) and Javier Perez (La Torre de Sonido, 2001).

René Wirths

OUT OF THE WORLD 


From Sunday 13 July to Sunday 09 November 2014

Ever since the late 1990s, the Berlin-based artist René Wirths (b. 1967) has recurrently made one carefully chosen object the absolute center of his attention for the period of time it takes him to create its picture.

His choice of motifs ranges from organic—a butterfly—to inorganic—a simple crumpled paper boat, an old sneaker—and to the metallic and shiny object of desire, a motorbike. But however strong the presence of each of these objects may seem, shown frontally or in strict profile mounted on a stretcher, larger-than-life and standing out against a white background, they still are but a means to an end, or the vehicle of a consistent analysis which, by balancing painterly potentials, generates iconic paintings.

Julião Sarmento

JULIAO SARMENTO 


Du 28 juin au 30 novembre 2014

Au plus près de la création, le MAMAC met en dialogue la scène artistique locale, nationale et internationale en portant un regard tout particulier sur les relations France-États-Unis et Nice-Italie du Nord.

Plus largement, le musée est attentif à l’actualité artistique européenne : Barry Flanagan en 2002, Jan Fabre en 2003, Jean-Pierre Raynaud en 2006, Michelangelo Pistoletto en 2007, Jaume Plensa et Richard Long en 2008, Wim Delvoye en 2010 sont quelques-uns des artistes qui ont réalisé une exposition personnelle au musée. La monographie de Julião Sarmento s’inscrit dans cette démarche.

Né en 1948 à Lisbonne, où il vit et travaille, Julião Sarmento est l’un des principaux représentants du renouveau artistique portugais ayant suivi la chute de l’Estado Novo. (…)

VIALLAT A RETROSPECTIVE 


From June 28th to November 2nd 2014

Étudiant à l’École des Beaux-Arts de Montpellier en 1955-1959, puis à celle de Paris en 1962-63, Claude Viallat invente en 1966 une forme neutre, proche d’une palette ou d’un osselet.

Il sera un des fondateurs, en 1969, du mouvement Supports/Surfaces, remettant en question les supports traditionnels de la peinture et libérera la toile de son châssis pour peindre sur des toiles libres.

Composée d’une centaine d’oeuvres, l’exposition retrace le parcours de l’artiste de ses premières œuvres à aujourd’hui. Elle explore toutes les techniques et matériaux employés par l’artiste, des dessins d’étude aux formats les plus monumentaux. (…)
