The Announciation A solo show by Elina Brotherus From May 25 to July 20, 2013 Opening : Saturday, May 25, 4 - 9 pm "I'm 40 years old now. Since my early photographs, more than 15 years ago, I have used myself as a model. It's a strange feeling to look back at the work done and to look at that young person I used to be. I am living now what was an unknown future for her. What has happened, what has changed?" Elina Brotherus The Announciation, a new solo show by Elina Brotherus at gb agency, is also the title of a new series of photographs initiated in 2009. This work retraces Elina Brotherus' work back to photographs stemming from her own personal experience and her will to put on stage a subject still taboo: infertility. Alongside these unsuccessful attempts to get pregnant and while she was staying in New York, Elina Brotherus realized two films: "Wrong Face" and "Francesca Woodman's Aunts" shot on 16mm. Unlike her photographs which state the grim reality of the impossibility to have a child in the form of a diary, the two films reveal another face: a resolutely free and creative woman in her artistic practice. The exhibition underlines this duality in the artist's life and shows Elina Brotherus' wish to keep on questioning the issue of the self and of the intimate. Through her compositions referring to history of art and to classical painting, Elina Brotherus reinterprets and modernizes the symbolism around the Announciation as well as its profound meaning. Tablotins sortis des boîtes in memoriam Michel Bonnemaison A solo show by Joëlle de La Casinière From May 25 to July 20, 2013 Opening : Saturday, May 25, 4 - 9 pm Level One is delighted to present a solo exhibition by French artist Joëlle de La Casinière. A nomadic spirit has always defined Joëlle de La Casinière's life and work. Born in Casablanca in 1944 and raised in France where she became an artist, in 1971 she sold all of her work and possessions and commenced on a journey which has taken her across South America via Columbia and Peru, across Canada and back to Europe where she has been living and travelling on a river boat since 1992. Her work immediately reflected her radical lifestyle shift, as she moved away from the pop-influenced painting she had been making previously and embraced writing, drawing, collage and filmmaking, as tools with which to record her day-to-day life. The exhibition, her first solo exhibition in Paris since 1982, brings together a series of her 'tablotin' picture-poems alongside digital prints, video and a radio broadcast recording. The exhibition has been curated by Andrew Bonacina (Artistic Director, International Project Space, Birmingham). |
