Sergey Bratkov — Chapiteau Moscow
Past: January 12 → February 2
“The house I live in, here in Moscow, is situated near the last metro station of the Red line. As I come out of the building, the first people I meet are the Tajik street sweepers. Municipal orange robes, locally sewn Adidas tracksuit pants and worn-out sneakers, they’re pushing around assorted junk in carts fabricated out of discarded baby strollers” — S.Bratkov

Semyon Faibisovich — Moscow & Muscovites
Past: January 12 → February 2
Semyon Faibisovich’s breakthrough came in 1980s with a series of paintings that collectively constituted a portrait of the Soviet era. Unlike the artists associated with Moscow conceptual art, Faibisovich was interested in the visual aspects of the system, the aspects that had not been properly reflected on and articulated.

Matthieu Ronsse — Cheap Imitations
Past: November 17 → December 22, 2012
What first strikes the viewer about Matthieu Ronsse’s work is his remarkable mastery of the paintbrush and his almost casual method of selecting his materials and his artworks. Indeed, Ronsse’s technique is reminiscent of those Masters of classical painting however he doesn’t confine himself to classical materials and seeks to surpass any material limits.

Ziad Antar — Expired
Past: November 17 → December 22, 2012
In 2000, Ziad Antar began using black and white rolls of film that had expired in 1976 in the legendary Scheherazade studio of photographer Hashem El Madani. The camera he uses for the series “Expired” is itself old. The subject however, is of the utmost contemporaneity: buildings synonymous with modernity, such as the Queensboro Bridge in New York.

Erik Lindman — Human Personality
Past: September 14 → October 12, 2012
Rupture is the truth emerging via beauty, yielding astonishment. Astonishment is the dissolution of the membrane between awareness and truth. The Good is psycho-physiological electricity — Hunter Hunt Hendrix.

John Giorno — Paintings
Past: September 14 → October 12, 2012
John Giorno assigns the divine, the sacred and the pragmatic to the poet’s function. His work embraces two disciplines: poetry and art, which have been a source of mutual fascination and inspiration for centuries. His paintings “Poem Paintings” with their strong vibratory intensity, are excerpts from his poems, phrases that have continually haunted him.

The Almine Rech Gallery presents the first exhibition in Paris of Liu Wei, the artist spearheading the new Chinese art scene.

Almine Rech presents Beatrice Caracciolo’s Terra d’ombra, an exhibition of recent works, including photographs, drawings, paintings and 2-dimensional sculptures made out of zinc.

Curtis Mann — Openings
Past: March 4 → April 7, 2012
In Openings, Mann displays several new bodies of lens-less photographic work. Through a series of bleaching, cutting, and folding techniques, Mann has continued to engage in the delicate, purposeful effacement of photographic paper. Deriving influence from American artist Gordon Matta-Clark, who often cut directly into, and removed entire sections of, abandoned buildings.

Patrick Hill — Curls, Kinks, and Waves
Past: January 12 → February 23, 2012
Curls, Kinks and Waves sets a stage — an abstract scene of fragmented landscapes, wavy horizons, and sensual feminine silhouettes. Hill’s new work moves away from the blacked-out gravitas seen in his 2008 solo exhibition with David Kordansky Gallery in Los Angeles, attending to issues of market, wealth and regionalism through the whimsical and subtly erotic lines.

Past: January 12 → February 23, 2012
In TBA de nouveau subtle temporal disorientations are framed and contingencies foregrounded as physical entanglements mirror visual ones. For this show Hagen manipulates the materials of burlap, acrylic house paint, cement, and obsidian through numerous controlled and surrendered processes and serialization to explore categorical slippages of value.

Aaron Young — Always Forever Now
Past: October 20 → December 22, 2011
I always liked the saying “Walk softly and carry a big stick.” It has a nice balance. If I were to name a few things I want out of an artwork they would be aggressive in action, poetic in rythm, realistic in scale, seductive in intellect and sinister in timing. Also, better if you have to use a hammer! Aaron Young.

Past: September 9 → October 15, 2011
The exhibition combines pieces from different periods of his work. It includes his latest pieces, such as the paint-by-number and neon foil paintings. In his work, Anselm Reyle has focused on figurative motifs, the patterns of which are based on ‘painting-by-numbers’, an idea that is popular among children and amateur painters.

Peter Peri a déclaré que « le sujet de son œuvre pourrait en effet être la dissolution, ou plus précisément, au sein de la modernité, de la fétichisation de la dissolution ». Les écrits sur son œuvre la placent en dialogue avec les idéaux utopiques et les grands systèmes de valeurs désormais éteints des débuts du modernisme.

Gregor Hildebrandt — Seiten im Buch wie Wände im Raum
Past: April 1 → May 7, 2011
Les œuvres de Gregor Hildebrandt dissimulent les associations qu’elles génèrent, ce qui nous vient à l’esprit lorsque nous regardons ces œuvres. Telles des versions romantiques des objets-miroirs, nous nous voyons nous-mêmes. Mais pas avec la même clarté : le reflet est de couleur brune, comme si le concept avait été souillé.

Gabriel Vormstein — Catch as Catch Can
Past: April 1 → May 7, 2011
Les expressions matérielles de Gabriel Vormstein semblent plutôt laconiques. Un rectangle composé de quelques rameaux ne semble pas être a priori beaucoup plus que quelques bouts de bois et un morceau de scotch, pourtant lorsqu’on l’observe sous l’angle de l’histoire de l’art, il constitue une approche surprenante du minimalisme.

Lergon says about his work: “I’m interested in the process of how colour is created in the interaction of light and surface. The surface is loaded with ideas of light and the colour appears as a result of transparent lacquer disturbing the surface of the work.”

L’utilisation explicite de motifs amène les œuvres de Xylor Jane à se soustraire à la compréhension pour former une tapisserie visuelle de l’absurde et du sublime. Toute notion selon laquelle l’idée crée l’art est anéantie par la pure folie de la machine.
