Julien Gracq, Un balcon en forêt, Corti, 1958 Julien Gracq, Un balcon en forêt Corti, 1958 1939, ce sont les premiers mois de ce que l’on appellera la drôle de guerre. Période de suspens, d’attente particulièrement dans les Ardennes où l’aspirant Grange a pour mission d’arrêter les blindés allemands si une attaque se produisait. Un souvenir de l’auteur dans Carnets du grand chemin : Lorsque nous partîmes en mai 1940 pour la Hollande — une des pièces maîtresses dans la stratégie du général Gamelin — nous débarquâmes du train le 13 dans le soir avancé à proximité de St-Nicolas d’Anvers et nous passâmes le reste de la nuit sur l’herbe du bas-côté de la route. Dans la solitude du Balcon en forêt, un chemin s’offre à Grange comme un appel obsédant (...) suspendu sur une absence sans fond. Étrangement, par un tour doucement tragique, c’est "la guerre", qui, deus ex machina, aura donné à l’aspirant le temps et la forêt, c’est-à-dire la chance de vivre au plus près de la genèse. Ils fumèrent un moment en silence.

Graffuturism | ...decades of progression and regression... Muxxi | Portfolio and News Exclusive Interview with C215 - The Shooting Gallery - The Shooting Gallery In honor of his first solo show, ‘Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,’ at the Shooting Gallery, French stencil artist C215 answered a few questions for us, providing thorough answers that not only give insight into his artistic intentions but into his personal character as well. Between studying “catholic theory of Architecture and Painting in XVIIth century, the history of Romanticism in Germany and the birth of Abstract in painting,” being a devout father to an 8 year old daughter and traveling around the world as a practicing and passionate artist it’s incredible to see that C215 still found time to create such a thoughtful solo show. Come see ‘Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,’ opening tomorrow from 7-11pm.
