Anri Sala, portrait de l'artiste en haut-parleur LE MONDE | • Mis à jour le | Par Emmanuelle Lequeux Il y a de la grâce dans son regard. Une grâce qu'il sait partager dans des expositions qui se déploient comme des temps en suspens, où le visiteur flotte entre deux états : celui d'une conscience aiguë du monde et un profond sentiment d'irréalité. Qualité rare qui fait d'Anri Sala, né en 1974 à Tirana, en Albanie, un des plasticiens les plus touchants. Lui qui doit représenter la France à la prochaine Biennale de Venise en 2013 le démontre une nouvelle fois avec une exposition au Centre Pompidou. On pourrait croire que la vidéo est son médium : c'est à travers de courts films qu'il s'est fait remarquer il y a une dizaine d'années.

Water to Paper, Paint to Sky: The Art of Tyrus Wong August 15–February 3, 2014 From August 15, 2013 to February 3, 2014, The Walt Disney Family Museum will present the exhibition Water to Paper, Paint to Sky: The Art of Tyrus Wong. Organized by Michael Labrie, the museum’s director of collections, the exhibition will focus on the life and work of Chinese-American artist Tyrus Wong—a celebrated painter, muralist, kite maker, lithographer, Hollywood sketch artist, calligrapher, ceramicist, and Disney Legend. At age 102, Wong is still a practicing artist today. This retrospective features more than 150 works including paintings, sculptures, works on paper, painted scarves, kites, and more. Although he never met Walt Disney, it was the ethereal beauty of Wong’s Eastern influenced paintings that caught Walt’s eye and became the inspiration for the animated feature Bambi, which changed the way animation art was presented, and continues to be an inspiration to contemporary artists.
