MARIE DENIS – ALMA HERBARIUM

Posted on 2021-05-24

Marie Denis has always worked on metamorphoses. Those that the time and her taste for paradox impart to materials, those that the artist brings to plants, since nature is at the center of her work. She explores different techniques to fix the images of an ephemeral world on more or less conventional supports.

For this exhibition, the artist invites us to dive into her plant universe using the technique of printmaking in an “unorthodox” way. She also presents a series of “masks” resulting from the sensations experienced during the confinement.

Opposite – Magnet Post-it® 5, 2021

Exhibition runs through to July 24th, 2021

CHEN XIAOYUN – SHIFTING TIMES, MOVING IMAGES

Posted on 2021-05-24

The second instalment in the series of screenings presents Chen Xiaoyun (b.1971), who works primarily with video and photography, as well as other mediums such as painting, sculpture, and installation. Entering the field of contemporary Chinese video art in its second phase, Chen is part of the shift from the initial ‘concept and installation’ approach of video art into a more diversified practice, when ‘new media art’ and ‘experimental clips’ began to rise in popularity and acceptance in the early 2000s.

Known for the poeticism in his early video works, Chen turned towards a more powerful and succinct visual language in the mid-2000s. Two of the works shown as part of the screening, FIRE-3000KG (2009) and Night/2.4KM (2009), features students burning a truck of books and migrant workers in a silent march respectively, examining the socio-political condition through the lens of a collective state of being. Chen’s casting of non-professionals to perform conceptual gestures is in contrast to Zhu Jia’s use of scripted acting and stage sets.

HEIKKI MARILA

Posted on 2021-05-24

This year marks the 30-year career anniversary of Heikki Marila (b. 1966), who ranks among Finland’s leading contemporary artists. It is only fitting, then, that he should celebrate his jubilee by revisiting a theme that has figured prominently in his oeuvre: floral motifs. Marila painted his first floral compositions over a decade ago, and it was for these early floral pieces that he received the coveted Carnegie Award. His early paintings drew inspiration from the extravagant opulence of the 17th century Dutch still life genre, and the same can be said of his recent paintings, too, although they reflect not only on history but also comment on contemporary society. While adhering to the same genre, Marila has revitalized his technique in a way that invites wholly fresh interpretations.
