HELLO LE PRINTEMPS

2008-10-03T21:30:15Z

_________________________________________________________________________________________
In Toulouse, springtime starts in September! Amazing exhibitions, talks, performances, for one of the best contemporary art festival in the South of France. This year's curator Christian Bernard has invited young talents and old guns to work specifically for the Festival. Not to make pretty things. But to make people think and feel. Be sure to check the work of video-artist Marion Tampon-Lajarriette at galerie Solleris and Espace Ecureuil. And of course, the swiss mafia is exhibiting its wonder kids at museum Les Abattoirs. John Armleder we ❤ thee!

HELLO MANIFESTA 7

2008-10-03T18:51:00Z

_________________________________________________________________________________________
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.

HELLO DAVID NOONAN

2008-10-03T18:19:38Z

_________________________________________________________________________________________
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.
