La galerie Michel Rein est heureuse de pr�senter la premi�re exposition personnelle de Mathew Hale � Paris. Il y pr�sentera une s�rie de dessins/collages intitul�e "The MIRIAM Books" � propos desquels Jordan Kantor �crit: "L'appropriation et le repositionnement des pages de livre qu'op�re Mathew Hale entra�ne un aller-retour vertigineux entre le dessin et l'�crit - et entre la lecture et la vue." (in Pissing Ink: 80 Pages from the MIRIAM Books by Mathew Hale, ed. DAAD Berlin, 2004) N� en 1962 � Swindon (Angleterre), Mathew Hale a b�n�fici� d'expositions personnelles � la galerie du DAAD (Berlin) et � la Whitechapel Gallery (Londres). Les pages des 'MIRIAM Books' - Ces dessins et/ ou collages sont des improvisations associatives. Je suis ma main autant que je la guide. Les images �mergent durant leur �laboration. Lorsque je commence, je n'ai aucune id�e de ce qui appara�tra, ou si quelque chose appara�tra. 'La d�couverte de leur sujet est leur sujet' (Jeffrey Eugenides) - Le processus de fabrication d'une s�rie de ces travaux commence lorsque je d�coupe toutes les pages d'un livre-'h�te' choisi au pr�alable. Ensuite je m�lange les pages d�tach�es et les empile. A chaque fois que je veux commencer un nouveau dessin, je divise la pile en deux et je dessine sur la page du haut de la nouvelle pile. - Une seule r�gle: il ne peut pas y avoir d'�chec. Je dois trouver une fa�on d'atteindre un r�sultat satisfaisant � chaque fois. Certains des meilleurs dessins et/ ou collages ont endur� de longues p�riodes d'�chec, d'autres sont apparus rapidement et de fa�on �vidente. Certaines pages sont rest�es irr�solues pendant longtemps, d'autres ont �t� achev�es en quelques minutes. - Je commence toujours une nouvelle page en dessinant � l'encre. Le collage intervient dans une oeuvre lorsque le dessin a �chou�. - Une citation: 'Je ne pense vraiment qu'avec mon crayon, car la t�te n'a souvent aucune id�e de ce que ma main �crit.' (Ludwig Wittgenstein) Mathew Hale, oct. 2007 galerie Michel Rein is proud to announce Mathew Hale's first solo show in Paris. He will present a selection of drawings/ collages from his series entitled "The MIRIAM Books". According to Jordan Kantor: "Hale's appropriation and repositioning of the book page triggers a dizzying, recursive loop between drawing and writing - and between reading and viewing." (in Pissing Ink: 80 Pages from the MIRIAM Books by Mathew Hale, ed. DAAD Berlin, 2004) Born in 1962 in Swindon (England), Mathew Hale has shown his works at the DAAD galerie (Berlin) and at the Whitechapel Gallery (London). The Pages from 'The MIRIAM Books� - These drawings and/or collages are associative improvisations. I follow my hand as much as I guide my hand. The images emerge during their making. When I begin I have no idea of what, if anything, will appear. �The discovery of their subject is their subject.� (Jeffrey Eugenides). - The process of making a series of these works begins when I cut all the pages from a chosen �host� book. I then shuffle the loose sheets and place them in a pile. Each time I want to begin a new drawing I split the pile and draw on the page that comes out on top. - There is only one rule; that there can be no failures. I must find my way through to some kind of satisfactory result in each case. Some of the best drawings and/or collages have endured long periods of failure, others appeared swiftly and fluently. Some pages remain unresolved for a long time, others are complete in a few minutes. - I always begin a new page by drawing on it in ink. Collage usually enters into a work at a point when drawing has begun fail. - A quotation: �I really do think with my pen, for the head often knows nothing of what my hand is writing.� (Ludwig Wittgenstein). Mathew Hale, Oct. 2007 Next exhibition: Americans in New York, curated by Ami Barak / with: Matthew Day Jackson, Marc Ganzglass, Jill Magid, Laurel Nakadate, Mika Rottenberg, Tavares Strachan Nov. 24 - Dec. 22, 2007 |
