Gérard Traquandi — Les jours
New
Ends in 2 months: May 24 → July 27
“Days come and go, each one the same as the next, or not, it depends. The days are also those beams of light which apertures pierced in a wall let into the room. A glimpse of what is happening outside when one is shut away” — Gérard Traquandi.

Vincent Beaurin — Couronne
Past: May 16 → 18
Beaurin’s work explores the richness of a wide spectrum of atmospheric colour tones, creating a stimulating and inspiring piece of art. The surface of the three-dimensional spots are layered with epoxy resin and a blend of marble and quartz coloured sands. Radiant, contrasting colours are juxtaposed to create a burst of intense colour.

Scoli Acosta — Music of Morocco
Past: April 4 → May 11
“Scoli Acosta’s tambourines are at once paintings and functional objects, diverting the legacy of modernist painting to the realm of the everyday, the hand-held, and the percussive” — Jill Dawsey, curator at the MCASD.

Philippe Durand — Sioule et cætera
Past: February 7 → March 23
“Ironic and contemplative land surveyor, Philippe Durand keeps a childlike ability to seize the environment as a play space, and a sarcastic enthusiasm as to the disproportion and grotesque quality of whatever sets itself up as important, which he will inevitably dismantle by capturing what lies behind the scenes” — François Piron

Alan Suicide Vega — Holy Shit
Past: October 18 → November 24, 2012
It is difficult, some would say impossible for rock music lovers, to look at the works of Alan Bermowitz, aka Alan Vega, without associating them with the sound experience that such a name evokes. It is hard to forget the fantastic performance of the singer-songwriter, mesmerizing the Palace hall with his magical voice on the 5th February 1981.

Haim Steinbach — Navy legacy
Past: April 14 → May 26, 2012
“Navy Legacy” conjures images of an expansive blue plane of ocean and the streamlined vessels that travel across these surfaces. Legacy is defined as thing handed down by a predecessor, that prevails and continues, as an object, an original idea or vision. Steinbach employs art historical references and builds new roles into a host of objects.

Vincent Beaurin
Past: January 12 → February 25, 2012
Vincent Beaurin creates his exhibitions as if they were landscapes. Each piece of work is positioned in the space, in the same way as the many different places which compose a landscape. They attract and produce an effect that, due to its unusual quality, some have called aura. This radiance is more consistent with gravity and electromagnetic force.

Henrik Samuelsson — Speaking in Tongues at Shitty Hotels
Past: November 24, 2011 → January 7, 2012
What really struck me when you invited me to visit Henrik Samuelsson’s studio was this feeling that a world was reaching its end. In a way, it made me think of eschatology. But at the same time there was this very “Swedish” element in his work related to this place where he grew up.

Aleksandra Mir — Dessins
Past: September 10 → October 8, 2011
C’est la première fois qu’Aleksandra Mir réunit un ensemble de ses dessins en France et c’est un événement. Plus rarement exposés que ses actions et ses sculptures géantes, les dessins sont sans doute la première forme, et la plus étendue, d’une démarche qui formule une vraie politique de l’espace.

Paperwork
Past: June 30 → July 30, 2011
This multidisciplinary exhibition proposes to explore the possibilities of the paper medium beyond the definition commonly spread of "work on paper": material or object of a work, paper extends the developement of a personal iconography, becomes a support for an artwork’s (re)production or can be used to question volume.

Peter Buggenhout — Contes Invertébrés
Past: May 14 → June 25, 2011
An important topic in the work of Peter Buggenhout is his use of industrial and organic waste to make art.
In the late 1990s, the artist launched into a sculptural practice that is anything but normative. His approach hinges on the materials: dust, horse hair, detritus, blood, and cow stomachs and intestines.

Gérard Traquandi
Past: March 19 → May 7, 2011
“I do what painters have always done, that is to say transferring perceptions, using color, on a canvas. All this in a historical context. I choose axis, I leave to photography its power of representation, and to cinema its narrative ability. I work by substraction. (…)” GT

Philippe Durand — Mauvaise herbe
Past: January 29 → March 12, 2011
« Mauvaise herbe », ce terme renvoie à tout un champ de savoir et de culture, loin de la mise au carreau et de l’ordonnancement prescrits par la loi, celle d’une production agricole industrialisée. Il accompagne et s’articule davantage à une vision où l’expression s’arrange des imperfections et y cherche une expérimentation de la différence.
