Du samedi 22 juin au dimanche 27 octobre 2013 One of the most significant young artists today, Kehinde Wiley (American, b. 1977) is known for his vibrant, large-scale paintings of black urban men rendered in the self-confident, empowered poses typical of classical European portrait painting.

CONFéRENCE ENSBA, PARIS – MERCREDI 5 JUIN 2013 à 18H00
Non classé
ENSBA, Paris
A l’occasion de Still Life, sa première exposition à la Galerie Templon à Paris (6 juin – 26 juillet 2013) le photographe américain David LaChapelle revient sur sa pratique et présente ses nouvelles séries dans le cadre d’une conférence à l’Ecole nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Mondialement connu pour ses photographies de mode hautes en couleur et mises en scène baroques peuplées de célébrités, David LaChapelle surprend avec une nouvelle orientation qui met en avant son double intérêt pour l’envers du rêve américain et l’histoire de l’art. Informé d’actes de vandalisme perpétrés au musée de cire de Dublin, David LaChapelle, chasseur d’icônes obsédé par la question de la notoriété, s’est rendu sur place pour documenter ces sosies brisés, et a poursuivi son enquête dans d’autres musées aux Etats-Unis, en Californie et dans le Nevada. Cette recherche est le point de départ de deux séries radicales : Last Supper et Still Life. L’un des photographes les plus publiés ces vingt dernières années, David LaChapelle se concentre depuis 2006 sur l’aspect expérimental et artistique de sa pratique. Ces dernières années, il a fait l’objet de nombreuses expositions personnelles à l’international, notamment au Barbican Museum à London (2002), au Palazzo Reale à Milan (2007), au Musée de La Monnaie à Paris (2009) au Tel Aviv Museum of Art en Israel (2010) qui l’a nommé artiste de l’année 2011. Il a bénéficié ces dernières années de grandes rétrospectives au Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei (2010), au Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Puerto Rico (2011), au Hangaram Museum en Corée (2012), à la Galerie Rudolfinum à Prague (2011/2012) et au Fotografiska Museet de Stockholm (2012).

LECTURE AT ENSBA, PARIS – WEDNESDAY 5 JUNE 2013 AT 06:00 PM
ENSBA, Paris, France
On the occasion of Still Life, his first exhibition in Paris at Galerie Templon (June 6 – July 26), American photographer David LaChapelle will be retracing his practice and presenting his new series during a lecture held at the Ecole nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris. World-renowned for his highly colorful fashion photography and flamboyantly baroque portraits of celebrities, David LaChapelle surprises us here with a new approach that bears witness to his interest in the underside of the American dream and the history of art. David LaChapelle is an icon hunter obsessed by the question of notoriety, and when vandals had attacked the Dublin Wax Museum he traveled there to make a record of the broken lookalikes, which led him to investigate many wax museums in the United States (California and Nevada). One of the most widely published photographers of the last twenty years, since 2006 David LaChapelle has been focusing on the experimental artistic sides of his art. In recent years he has exhibited his works at many one-man shows around the world, including the Barbican Museum in London (2002), Palazzo Reale in Milan (2007), the Musée de La Monnaie in Paris (2009) and the Tel Aviv Museum of Contemporary Art in Israel (2010), from which he received the honor of Artist of the Year in 2011. Also recently, major retrospectives of his work have been shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art Taipei (2010), Museum of Contemporary Art in Puerto Rico (2011), Hangaram Museum in Korea (2012), Rudolfinum Gallery in Prague (2011/2012), and the Fotografiska Museum in Stockholm (2012/2013).

CARO AU MUSéE CORRER
Non classé
Musée Correr, Venise, Italie
Du samedi 1er juin au dimanche 27 octobre 2013
The splendid rooms of the Museo Correr will be the setting for the first major Italian retrospective dedicated to one of the greatest of living sculptors: Sir Anthony Caro (New Malden, Surrey, 1924).
The versatile British artist has radically “revolutionised” his art. After a strictly figurative beginning, under the influence of his teacher, Henry Moore, he drifted away from sculptural tradition to create revolutionary assemblages, welded and bolted together, painted in bright colours and positioned on the floor within the viewer’s space; these were abstract works but rich in ideal content. This new, fascinating sculptural language established him as a key figure in the development of 20th century sculpture alongside David Smith, Mark Di Suvero and Richard Serra. (…)

ENTRE NIETZSCHE ET WAGNER
« Chaque artiste, seul avec lui-même, comme un naufragé… » proclamait Jan dans Sanguis/Mantis. The Tragedy of a Friendship médite sur la relation entre Nietzsche et Wagner. Fouillant ses intimes dualités, Jan Fabre creuse les failles qui travaillent le créateur, tiraillé entre l’aspiration à la transcendance et la tentation du profane, entre l’attrait pour la réflexion spéculative et les appels de l’intuition.

BETWEEN NIETZSCHE AND WAGNER
“Every artist, face to face with his lone self, like a man wrecked at sea…” such were Jan Fabre’s words used in Sanguis/Mantis. The Tragedy of a Friendship is a meditation on the relationship between Nietzsche and Wagner. Prodding the artist’s intimate dualities, Jan Fabre digs into the clefts that torment the creator torn between his aspiration to transcendence and his temptation to the mundane, between his attraction to intellectual speculation and the call of intuition.
