In 2012 the Palais de Tokyo will inaugurate a new area wich is today unused : an additional 9 000 m2.
Before the renovation takes place, this additional part will be open to visitors for unusual installations. Sophie Calle project's is one of them :
She has been called successively Rachel, Monique, Szyndler, Calle, Pagliero, Gonthier, Sindler.
My mother liked to be the object of discussion. Her life did not appear in my work, and that annoyed her.
When I set up my camera at the foot of the bed in which she was dying - fearing that she would pass away in my absence, though I wanted to be present and hear her last words - she exclaimed: "Finally." Sophie Calle

DESCRIPTION :
By mapping the artist’s brain, desires, and influences, the carte blanche gives a fresh slant on the creative process and aesthetic correlations. In the wake of Ugo Rondinone in 2008 and Jeremy Deller in 2009, Adam McEwen (British artist living in New York) hatches an extraordinary scheme and creates a dialogue between medieval sculpture and conceptual art, vaults and attempts to levitate, forgotten artists and those already blessed by history. When faced with this history, what stance can an artist take today? Everything has been done already? Great, now we can finally get to work! The exhibition FRESH HELL dives into history, recent or distant, but doesn’t bore through the strata. Instead, it skims horizontally and nonlinearly, generating multiple paradoxes and stirring up a breath of fresh air that is constantly sucked away by ghostly shadows.

The SHOW OFF Art Fair in Paris Seduces And Stuns The Public With A SOLO SHOW Format

Amidst the giants of the contemporary Art Fairs going on right now in Paris, SHOW OFF, the little sister to be of the magnanimous FIAC, seduces and stuns the public with a select offering of 30 monographic art shows.  Struggling to keep up with the ever expanding FIAC, the most important art fair in France, and the ever increasing number of competing shows, SHOW OFF decided to stand out among the crowd by offering a more intimate look at the prevailing trends in contemporary art today.  With an emphasis on spotlighting established European galleries, SHOW OFF opts for quality as opposed to quantity and invites the visitor to delect the artists work as a complete entity.  Situated under the Alexander III Bridge in the center of Paris, SHOW OFF is the place to be for cutting-edge contemporary art set in a delighful setting along the banks of the river Seine.

PERSPECTIVE Odile Decq / Camille Henrot (ESPACE LOUIS VUITTON)


artist : Odile Decq / Camille Henrot
exhibition: PERSPECTIVE
place: ESPACE LOUIS VUITTON
7 jul az 5 september 2010
curator: Hervé Mikaeloff
designer : Adrien de Melo

A new horizon opens with “Perspectives”.
For the first time, the Espace culturel Louis Vuitton is concentrating on two artists. Two women, two French citizens, two different and complementary offerings. Odile Decq is an established architect who has just completed the extension and fitting of the MACRO (Rome); Camille Henrot is a 31-year-old visual artist pre-selected for the Prix Marcel Duchamp 2010.
The meeting of their two visions gives the “Perspectives” exhibition all of its meaning. Sixteen works, which are creations for the most part, offer an attempt to understand space and the world by means of a twofold view. Perspective is a way of seeing and foreseeing, a trompe l’oeil, an oblique way of representing objects in order to better reveal them.

ICE HOUSE DETROIT

ICE HOUSE DETROIT

Vo francuzskom umeleckom casopise Beaux Arts n*310, je predstaveny zaujimavy, umelecko -socialny projekt Ice House Detroit, dvoch umelcov, Gregoryho Holma a Matthewa Raduna, ktory bol zrealizovany tuto zimu (2009-2010). Opusteny, zmrazeny dom je symbolom absurdneho, vyludneneho, nefunkcneho pribytku, ktory straca svoj prvotny vyznam, ciel, svoju podstatu. Tito dvaja politicky angazovani umelci reaguju na politicke, socialne a rasove problemi Detroitu.

VEASYBLE je zaujimavy designersky projekt, o ktorom som sa docitala v Beaux arts magazine n*311. Ide o papierove sperky a modne doplnky, ktore sa behom okamihu mozu premenit na prostriedok izolacie, ochrany. Klucove slova tohto talianskeho projektu su: ornament, intimita, izolacia.

Monumenta 2010 - Christian Boltanski - Personnes (Grand Palais)



artist - Christian Boltanski(1944, Paris)
exhibition - Personnes (Monumenta 2010)
place - Grand Palais Paris
13 january - 8 february 2010
curator: Catherine Grenier
-------------------------------------------------------
Francuzsky umelec Christian Boltanski bol v ramci projektu MONUMENTA (kazdy rok jedna monograficka vystava sucasneho umenia v monumentalnom priestore historickej budovy Grand Palais)tretim umelcom, ktory na vyzvu ministerstva kultury mohol experimentovat s tymto velkolepym priestorom. Rozhodol sa ho vyplnit hrbou siat poukladanych do stvorcov, na ktore svietili neony. Pri vstupe nas privitala masivna stena vyskladana zo zhrdzavenych zasuviek s cislami. Mraziva a deprimujuca atmosfera bola zosilnena hlasnymi tlkotmi ludskych srdc (dlhorocny Christianov projekt, opisany nizsie). V strede sa tycila obrovska hora siat, ktorej vrchol bol pravidelne naruseny ramenom zeriavu, ktory vzdy nabral hrstku siat a potom ich nechal volne padnut spat na kopu. Instalacia predstavuje umelcovu viziu Posledneho sudu, kedy Bozia ruka vybera nahodne jeden z kopy ludskych zivotov. Vsetko je nahoda. Osud. Ako inak by sme mohli vysvetlit ze novorodenec umrie skor ako starec?
Boltanski vystavou nadvazuje na svoju dlhorocnu tvorbu v ktorej sa predovsetkym zaobera vojnou, smrtou, kolektivizmom v kontraste s jednotlivcom.
Preto referencie na holokaust (kolektivna vina, kolektivne spomienky) no aj smrt ako taku (intimny a bolestivy zivot kazdeho z nas)boli citelne od prveho momentu.
Umelec si napriek dvojrocnej tradicii organizovat projekt Monumenta v lete, vyziadal dva zimne mesiace, kedy je v obrovskom sklenenom palaci bez kurenia neskutocna zima. Donutil tak divaka ostat v kabate, triast sa od zimy a pozerat na hrbu oblecenia vsade dookola. Chlad este viac vypichol pochmurnu atmosferu.
Hlavne temy: smrt, vojna, intimita, bolest, plynutie casu, kolobeh, osud, spomienky.
Vystava nas prinutila rozmyslat, spominat, prechadzat sa, vnimat cas, chlad, zvuky, priestor... neopakovatelny zazitok!

PROJEKT ARCHIV SRDC

Boltanski na tomto projekte pracuje uz niekolko rokov. Jeho cielom je nahrat a archivovat co najviac ludskych srdc. A nasledne spravit databazu. Ku kazdej nahravke je pridelene cislo, meno, datum. Cize kazdy kto sa projektu zucastni si o par rokov svoje srdce moze vyhladat a vypocut. Tento archiv srdc bude od buduceho roku (2011) umiestneny na japonskom ostrove Teshima. Zatial ma Boltanski nahranych okolo 60 000 srdc, ich pocet stale rastie. 
Projekt je reflexiou o plynuti casu, bytia.. Ludske srdce je symbol zivota. O par rokov ale vsetci ludia, ktori nahrali svoje srdce budu mrtvi. Boltanski tak vytvara archiv/ databazu mrtvych dusi...

Aj pocas vystavy Personnes, si kazdy navstevnik mal moznost nahrat a zaregistrovat svoje srdce a stat sa tak sucastou umeleckeho diela. Za poplatok 10eur, sme si mohli kupit nahravku vlastneho srdca aj s registracnym cislom. Mam ju doma :)

Pocas 6tyzdnovej vystavy sa nahralo okolo 16 000 srdc.
