Originally part of the same photographic movement as Martin Parr, celebrated artist Karen Knorr has transitioned from her earlier documentary style to one defined by the imaginary. With works exhibited at the Tate Modern and the Centre Pompidou, this London-based artist is certainly no stranger to the museum space, but it is this very space [...]

Galerie La B.A.N.K presents Looping, a collection of recent works by graphic artist Sylvain Ciavaldini. Updating early 20th-century surrealist dreams with a shot of pop, the drawings and paintings of Marseille-based Ciavaldini invite viewers into what the artist calls ‘a world between worlds’. In his large-format works on paper, Ciavaldini deconstructs and reassembles familiar elements [...] The highlight of the Maison Rouge’s new series of shows (until 16 May) is Marco Decorpeliada’s Schizomètres. Marco Decorpelida fits into the sketchy category of ‘outsider art’, art produced outside the parameters of the official art world, often by individuals with mental problems. Decorpelida was not an [...] The first retrospective in Paris of the work of the Dutch modern artist Charley Toorop (1891–1955). Toorop began working in the early decades of the 20th century, and spent several years in both Amsterdam and Paris. Influenced by both cubism and avant-garde cinema, Toorop’s style of painting is predominantly realist. [...] The shortlist for the tenth edition of the French contemporary art prize has been finalised: Art TV! Souvenirs From Earth is an exciting new international cable TV station, currently broadcasting in France (and Germany), and presenting a 24h program of film and video art. The channel functions as a platform where artists can find a quality environment to experience new forms of distribution and presentation of film and video art. [...] In an ingenious ruse to air some of their impressive ‘new media’ collection, the Centre Pompidou is collaborating with the Musee Rodin to bring us The Body as Sculpture, a show that shakes up a visit to the museum with a room of contemporary video art. The videos are well-placed in this context, matching the physicality of Rodin’s [...] Warhols, Stellas, Duchamps, and Harings have all yielded to the hand of American conceptual artist Elaine Sturtevant. Best known for faithfully reproducing the works of these canonical artists, Sturtevant interrogates 20-century notions of authorship and originality in a modern world where images are so endlessly (and easily) duplicated. The Musée d’Art Moderne is hosting Sturtevant’s [...] ‘1916: Le Corbusier builds a “Turkish Villa” at La Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland), the Villa Schwob, flanked by a pergola. A few years later, he publishes photos of it in L’Esprit Nouveau. On the ground, in front of the villa, a white mark indicates a retouch. The pergola has disappeared. Less than a century later, the Iraki [...] C’est la Vie! Vanités de Caravage à Damien Hirst, the first show by the Musée Maillol’s new artistic director Patrizia Nitti, takes us on an alternative journey through the history of art – a journey through the murkier corners of the human psyche – and highlights the constant fascination with death and vanitas in art, [...] |
