We are pleased to announce the second solo show by Giuseppe Gabellone at Art : Concept.

Through the figures of emblematic spies, from Mata Hari to Carrie Mathison, and from OSS117 to Edward Snowden, this exhibition explores a new history of the relationship between cinema and espionage. It’s the starting point a play of mirrors between the two disciplines, practices par excellence involving capture, simulacra and concealment.

Travelling exhibition:
From 05/10/2022 to 14/05/2023 Cinémathèque française – Musée du Cinéma, Paris
From 29/06/2023 to 29/10/2023 Fundación la Caixa, Madrid
From 29/11/2023 to 31/03/2024 Caixa Forum Barcelona

With the aim of “creating and organizing a contemporary art event of international stature, in which sound – in all its forms – constitutes the heart of the event”, this biennial brings together sound installations and silent works in which sound is induced, as well as a series of events (sound performances, concerts, public discussions, etc.) across different venues, towns and villages (Sion, Martigny, Loèche, Sierre…).

As part of the exhibition Echoes of a Collection. Œuvres du Frac Franche-Comté (curated by Sylvie Zavatta, director of the Frac, in collaboration with Christophe Fellay, artist and teacher at EDHEA, Jean-Paul Felley, director of EDHEA) from September 16 to October 29, 2023 in Martigny (Switzerland) will include the following works by Ulla von Brandenburg : The Record (2005-2014) and Le milieu est bleu (2020), which are part of the Collection of Frac Franche-Comté.

Frac des Pays de la Loire presents Galerie 29, a selection of works from its collection on the theme of play.

Play has always been an essential part of human daily life. This necessary breathing space, this truce in reality, is a way of reconnecting with childhood, even if it goes far beyond this quest. Play creates a parallel space far removed from reality and everyday life, where rules and behavior are precisely defined for a given period of time. Play is the principle of all culture” wrote Sigmund Freud.

Drawings, paintings, sculptures, videos, books and games by artists brought together for this exhibition testify to the importance of play, playfulness and fiction as essential components of life and art!

With Stefan Altenburger, Olga Boldyreff, Robert Combas, Richard Fauguet, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Koo Jeong A, Bertrand Lavier, Ad Minoliti, Mrzyk & Moriceau, Camila Oliveira Fairclough, Patrick Bernier et Olive Martin, Alain Séchas, Osías Yanov

Souvenir Nouveau [New Memory] might be the name of a café, past or present but definitely not retro. One where the day’s news, from near and far, becomes a blend of contradictory echoes: a place of passage and discussion, brawls and fantasies, where you show off a little, inventing stories for yourself. Where you flee your impotence and where, above all else, you seek out allies. Loosened tongues set the world to rights, build the surroundings they desire, and welcome undesirables. The future becomes palpable, a new memory. Souvenir Nouveau brings artists from a diversity of countries and aesthetic horizons together to form a heterogeneous and deliberately dissonant territory: the visitor is invited to roam through a succession of works and situations, by turns colourful, bright or dark, with only their eyes and body for a compass.

With Jean-Pierre Allain, Ethan Assouline, Jean-Luc Blanc, Pierrette Bloch, Anne Bourse, Nina Childress, Sylvie Fanchon, Hamedine Kane, Liz Magor, Mélanie Matranga, Armineh Negahdari, Raffaella della Olga, Gyan Panchal, Amol K. Patil, Laurent Proux, Samuel Richardot, Anne-Lise Seusse

Curator: Anne Bonnin
