playtime - Nina Beier & Marie Lund : The history of visionaries

A son arrivée, il accrochera sa veste dans l'exposition et sera identifié par le pantalon de son costume. Pour les artistes, les pertinentes convictions visionnaires se réfèrent à un passé idéalisé, tout en rendant visible et audible la possibilité d'un temps à venir. Le travail de Nina Beier et Marie Lund prend source dans une fascination pour les dynamiques de groupe et les relations entre les gens, qu'elles soient maladroites, ferventes, polies ou tendres. Nina Beier et Marie Lund vivent à Londres et ont toutes deux étudié au Royal College of Art. Galerie Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois - Virginie YASSEF. Seth Price.

Alice Channer. Alice Channer Focus Pleated fabrics, dresses and made-to-measure sculptures; cigarettes, tailoring and shop windows The most influential example of the pleat in mid-20th-century couture was undoubtedly Christian Dior’s silk ‘Bar’ suit.

Launched in 1947 as part of the designer’s début collection – promptly dubbed the ‘New Look’ by Harper’s Bazaar editor Carmel Snow – it marked a shift from postwar austerity to opulent femininity. In 2007, Alice Channer titled her series of room-height works ‘New Look’: elegant and poised, a length of pleated fabric – about a hand-span wide – curves down from the ceiling and trails neatly along the floor. Many of Channer’s sculptures and works on paper relate to the wearing and display of clothing or personal adornment. While Channer’s work is full of care for the limits of the exhibition space – tailored to its walls, or cut to fit its ceiling – it also points beyond it, to the events and openings that surround the exhibition.

Matthew Day Jackson The Lower 48 - Wyoming, 2006 48 C-prints Each: 39 x 56 cm Overall: 312 x 336 cm It would be misleading to say that sculptor Matthew Day Jackson simply photographed anthropomorphic land formations in the course of a four-month drive through the continental United States, as if they were just sitting there waiting for him.

Perhaps a few of these noble heads were, but many others were camera shy and had to be coaxed out of hiding – only from certain camera angles would they agree to expose themselves. This initial reticence aside, the 48 different sentinels, each representing an historic region (Lincoln Head Park in Washington; Bandon Rocks in Oregon, Hells’ Half Acre in Wyoming, etc) pose with the same proud determination shown more or less a century ago by Edward Curtis’ Indian chiefs. But who are they? The answer, Jackson tells us, requires us to peer into a post-apocalyptic future, where each portrait depicts one of “Mother Nature’s Land Soldiers.”
