DANIEL ARSHAM "STORM" Opening Tomorrow, Saturday 3 November 2012 / 4 - 9 pm 3 November – 22 December 2012 Galerie Perrotin, Paris A performance by Jonah Bokaer will occur during the opening at 6:30 pm. In August of 1992, Daniel Arsham was nearly killed in a hurricane in Miami. This being the 20th anniversary of that event, the experience has provided the initial inspiration for this exhibition titled STORM. Witnessing the dramatic and destructive possibilities of nature and its impact on human constructions, Arsham has created a new series of his architectural interventions that expand on his ability to make architecture perform the unexpected. In much of the work in the show, Arsham takes the destructive energy he observed in the storm and reforms it to new and imaginative purposes, creating an uncanny context though aberrant perceptions : a clock moves on the wall creating folds that partially conceal it (“Sideways clock”) ; a wall as a sheet appears to blow over a figure (“Hiding Figure”) www.danielarsham.com KAWS "IMAGINARY FRIENDS" Opening Tomorrow, Saturday 3 November 2012 / 4 - 9 pm 3 November – 22 December 2012 Galerie Perrotin, Paris KAWS is many things to many audiences. He is an artist, a collector, a designer, a brand, a celebrity, and an entrepreneur. These multiple identities, which are both autonomous and interdependent at the same time, point toward an interconnectedness in contemporary culture between real and virtual worlds, between the personal and the public – art, technology, life and the seamless relationship between and among them in the era of social media. Boundaries between people, places, and things today are fluid and porous giving rise to a new visual language that facilitates a dynamic social and cultural exchange. KAWS speaks this language, incorporating familiar images in his work, which in their different permutations function as a multiplicity of signs and symbols that communicate all at once something new and strange. Michael Rooks, Wieland Family Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, High Museum of Art. GUY LIMONE "ESPACE PUBLIC" Opening Tomorrow, Saturday 3 November 2012 / 4 - 9 pm 3 November – 22 December 2012 Galerie Perrotin, Paris The exhibition has benefited from the kind support of the Institut Culturel Bernard Magrez - Bordeaux Galerie Perrotin, Paris is proud to present the 9th solo exhibition of Guy Limone in twenty years of collaboration, “Espace Public” from the 3rd of November to the 22nd of December 2012. Guy Limone’s works depict with humour an attempt to make an inventory of the things around us, a desire to encompass the world, to tire it as Perec does in “La Vie mode d’emploi”. Guy Limone reinterprets in a playful way the most diverse and absurd statistics by the accumulation of hand-painted figurines supposed to personify the studied population. Therefore, the contrast between the wanted seriousness of the analysed data and the accumulation of miniature characters on a tense string for example, reveals a disembodied and anonymous humanity - “In 2010, one on five human being does not have any access to drinking water” (2010) ; “In 2006 China produced 38% of worlds coal production” (2008) ; “In 2010, people under 15 years old represent 30% of the world’s population” (2010) etc. |
