Des ann�es de poudre recouvrant des ann�es de jaune Sara Barker Jesus Alberto Benitez M�lanie Blaison Curated by Gyan Panchal VERNISSAGE le samedi 26 f�vrier OPENING on Saturday, February 26th EXPOSITION du 26 f�vrier au 26 mars 2011 EXHIBITION from February 26th to March 26th, 2011 Sara Barker, Jesus Alberto Benitez et M�lanie Blaison partagent une attention particuli�re � la pr�sence du mat�riau. L'exposition se tient au bord de la sculpture, lorsque celle-ci s'estompe et devient presque la maquette ou le dessin d'elle-m�me. L'objet se fait alors pictural. Il porte sa propre construction, f�t-elle pr�caire. Comme les restes d'une peinture ant�rieure, les sculptures de Sara Barker semblent � peine tenir debout. Dans l'assemblage de ces lignes se dessine l'�paisseur d'un objet � venir, dont la mati�re peinte formerait l'armature m�me. Les photographies et dessins de Jesus Alberto Benitez �chafaudent un plan d'�vasion hors du plan. Table � dessin et bureau composent les espaces d'o� sont tir�es des lignes de fuite. Ailleurs, le trait, pr�cis et spontan� � la fois, se d�robe de la surface du papier et redevient concret. C'est apr�s un certain temps que les sculptures de M�lanie Blaison laissent appara�tre les indices d'une origine commune. Moulages d'objets trouv�s, fragments de l'impossible reconstitution d'un lieu, saisi par son double, en un paysage de pl�tre. Le titre de l'exposition est emprunt� � Jean Louis Schefer, s'exprimant au sujet du travail de Martin Barr�. Sara Barker, Jesus Alberto Benitez and M�lanie Blaison pay particular attention to the presence of material. The exhibition takes place on the edge of sculpture, when it subsides and becomes almost a model or a drawing of itself. The object then becomes pictorial. It embodies its own construction, even if it's frail. Like the remnants of a former painting, Sara Barker's sculptures seem to barely stand. An object in the making surfaces through the assembly of the lines, whose painted material forms the very structure. Jesus Alberto Benitez's photographs and drawings put together an escape plan from the plane. A drawing board and a desk are the spaces from which drawn lines escape. Elsewhere, both spontaneous and precise, the line slides off the surface of the paper and becomes concrete again. It is only after a while that M�lanie Blaison's sculptures reveal the clues of a common origin. Casts of found objects, fragments from the impossible reconstruction of a place, caught by its own replica, into a landscape of plaster. The title of the exhibition is borrowed from Jean Louis Schefer in discussing Martin Barr�'s work.
