JAN FABRE. TRIBUTE TO BELGIAN CONGO (2010-2013)

PINCHUKARTCENTRE, KIEV, UKRAINE 

Du 8 février au 27 avril 2014 In 1979 Jan Fabre started his artistic practice by erecting a tent-laboratory, called de Neus (the Nose), in the garden of his parents. Mesmerized by the insects’ capacity for metamorphosis, he subjected them to intensive artistic research and experiments. Insects continued to (re-)appear in Fabre’s early drawings, performances and sculptures. Especially beetles, with their unique sense of survival, remained a source of inspiration for the artist, and in his oeuvre they have come to represent a way of dealing with mortality, beauty and suffering – three essential themes, which define Fabre’s complex practice as an artist, theatre maker and writer.

MUSÉE WÜRTH FRANCE ERSTEIN

Le Musée Würth, à Erstein en France, organise une grande rétrospective en mémoire d’Anthony Caro, le plus grand sculpteur britannique de sa génération, décédé en octobre 2013. L’exposition offre un ensemble exceptionnel et représentatif de ses réalisations depuis près de 40 ans. Le fonds d’œuvres de Caro rassemblé dans la collection Würth est le plus important sur le plan mondial, avec celui de la Tate Gallery. La grande salle du musée est entièrement occupée par une installation monumentale de l’artiste, la plus importante des années 1990, intitulée Le Jugement dernier. Présenté pour la première fois en France, cet ensemble témoigne des réalités d’un millénaire déchiré par les guerres, les atrocités, la rapacité et les excès en tous genres. Ses sources sont la mythologie grecque, les écrits bibliques ou encore l’histoire de l’art. www.musee-wurth.fr

ANTHONY CARO. MASTERPIECES FROM THE WüRTH COLLECTION

MUSÉE WÜRTH FRANCE ERSTEIN

The Musée Würth France hosts a retrospective memorial exhibition devoted to the greatest English sculptor of his generation, Anthony Caro, who died October 2013. The exhibition titled, Anthony Caro. Masterpieces from the Würth Collection, showcases an exceptional range of his works drawn from the past 40 years. The Würth Collection of Caro is the largest in Europe. The large room on Musée Würth’s ground floor is unique in being able to display the artist’s most important sculpture of the 90’s, The Last Judgement. Shown for the first time in France, this narrative sculpture comments on the realities of a millennium torn by war, atrocities, greed and excess. It draws its inspiration from Greek mythology, Biblical writings and art history.

FùTBOL: THE BEAUTIFUL GAME(EXPOSITION DE GROUPE)

Non classé

LACMA, LOS ANGELES, USA

Du 2 février au 20 juillet 2014 Fútbol: The Beautiful Game examines the subject of football—nicknamed by one sports commentator The Beautiful Game—and its interactions with societies around the world. As a subject, football touches on issues of nationalism and identity, globalism and mass spectacle, as well as the common human experience shared by spectators from many cultures. Celebrating the sport on the eve of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the exhibition includes approximately thirty artists from around the world, working in video, photography, painting and sculpture. Two room-sized video installations—Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait, by the artists Philippe Parreno and Douglas Gordon, and Volta by Stephen Dean—anchor the exhibition. Other works by artists including Miguel Calderon (whose 2004 video Mexico v. Brasil represents a 17-0 victory for Mexico), Robin Rhode, Kehinde Wiley, and Andy Warhol provide a sense of the miraculous possibilities of the sport as universal conversation piece. (…)

MUSEE D'ART MODERNE, SAINT-ETIENNE

Du 18 janvier au 18 mai 2014 Dans la salle centrale du Musée, Joel SHAPIRO déploie deux sculptures monumentales en acier. Les morceaux de métal s’articulent entre eux pour donner à cette forme apparemment abstraite les contours d’une figure ou d’un objet sur le point de se mouvoir dans l’espace. Ce sculpteur américain (né en 1941), largement reconnu aux États-Unis et présent dans les collections des plus grands musées américains, il est connu pour ses oeuvres aux formes simplifiées et géométriques. Celles-ci contiennent pourtant toute la force du mouvement et expriment une grande vitalité notamment grâce à la couleur. Il appartient à la génération d’artistes qui a refusé la rigueur de l’art minimal en recherchant notamment des liens avec les activités humaines. (…)

Du 16 novembre 2013 au 09 mars 2014 The exhibition in the MdM Mönchsberg aims to provide, for the first time, a survey of the most extensive complex of his œuvre: painting. This was not Meese’s first medium, but came second to drawing, long before he turned to installation and the stage. His first oil paintings date from 1993/4 – the period immediately preceding his academic training. After an interval of several years, during which he devoted himself exclusively to performance and installation, he returned to painting with increased attention. (…)

His first oil paintings date from 1993/4 – the period immediately preceding his academic training. After an interval of several years, during which he devoted himself exclusively to performance and installation, he returned to painting with increased attention. From then on, he transferred his fundamental idea of the stage as a counter-world, and the element of staging, on to large-scale historical paintings. The expressive power of the original, unmistakable painterly language he developed over twenty years has attained a unique status in the contemporary art world.(…)
