A l’occasion de ses 75 ans, le Pavillon Suisse de la Cité internationale universitaire de Paris accueille une exposition d’art contemporain à l’échelle du bâtiment qui tend à offrir une image inédite de ce patrimoine de l’architecture mondiale conçu par Le Corbusier.
L’exposition “Le Spectrarium - les fantômes dans la machine” entend explorer les relations entre hantise et technique, et faire de ce monument historique, qui fut la première “machine à habiter” en collectivité de la modernité architecturale, une maison hantée.

{...} Le travail de Mariana Castillo Deball révèle son intérêt pour les dispositifs d’organisation et de classification de l’information. Livres inachevés, archives incomplètes, objets aux origines oubliées et histoires interrompues [...] les œuvres d’Alex Cecchetti questionnent l’origine et la permanence des mythes et des grands récits dans notre société contemporaine avec une certaine fascination pour la violence [...] Artiste, écrivain, graphiste, éditeur, Will Holder interroge dans les différentes formes que peuvent prendre son travail les articulations entre objet et langage, explorant par exemple la façon dont le texte – sous ses différents aspects – peut prendre forme en trois dimensions et comment la nature figée des objets peut être transformée par l’usage de la langue [...] Utilisant des axiomes philosophiques, des événements historiques et des formes désuètes de l’histoire de l’art comme points de départ, Benoît Maire développe des performances, organise des discussions et use d’objets, de peintures, de dessins et de vidéos pour faire ses expositions [...] Falke Pisano s’interroge sur les conditions d’existence et d’autonomie de ce qu’elle nomme les «objets concrets»

Manifesta 7 in Bolzano (Italy). Go see the work of Valérie Mréjen and Claire Fontaine amongst others.
—
Claire Fontaine pursues an ongoing interrogation of the political impotence and the crisis of singularity that affects contemporary art today. ‘Siamo con voi nella notte’ ( ‘We are with you in the night’) is a mural inscription scrawled on a wall in an Italian town in the 1970s. In this ambiguous sentence, “the night” represents the prison but also the uncertain zone of obscurity proper to every clandestine resistance. The night is the space of non-distinction where those marks that divide the singularities fade.

Artist and writer Valérie Mréjen is working on an extensive documentary about the Valvert Psychiatric Hospital in Marseilles. During a visit in March 2008, she shot a short video that is presented at Manifesta 7.

David Noonan is showing his work at gallery Chisenhale in London until October 26. Run see it!
—
Noonan presents a series of works comprising monochrome silkscreen on linen collages and clusters of freestanding figurative sculptures which expand his graphic images into a more theatrical space of display. Noonan often works with found photographic imagery taken from performance manuals, textile patterns and archive photographs to make densely layered montages. These works at once suggest specific moments in time and invoke disorientating a-temporal spaces in which myriad possible narratives emerge. The large-scale canvases framing this exhibition depict scenes of role-playing, gesturing characters, and masked figures set within stage-like spaces.
