English below Elina Brotherus "R�trospective" 9 janvier - 13 f�vrier 2010 Premier volet de deux expositions cons�cutives consacr�es au travail de l�artiste finlandaise Elina Brotherus � gb agency, cette R�trospective" pr�sente un vaste ensemble de photographies issues des diff�rentes s�ries de l�artiste dans une sc�nographie inspir�e des accrochages des Salons du XIXe si�cle. Si cette "R�trospective" joue de mani�re prononc�e avec les codes que ce type d�exposition peut sugg�rer, elle s�en distingue n�anmoins en �vitant toute approche strictement chronologique ou th�matique. Les photographies des diff�rentes s�ries �Das M�dchen sprach von Liebe�, �Suites Fran�aises�, �The New Painting�, �Model Studies�, �Artist and her Model� ou encore �Etudes d�apr�s mod�le, danseurs� se m�langent, se confrontent les unes aux autres dans une constellation refl�tant les motifs, la structure et le caract�re obsessionnel du travail d�Elina Brotherus au fil des ann�es, permettant une lecture atemporelle de son oeuvre. Le second volet de l�exposition (20 f�vrier - 20 mars 2010) sera d�di� � une nouvelle s�rie de photographies intitul�es �Artists at Work� ainsi qu�� la pr�sentation d�un nouveau film vid�o. Elina Brotherus (1972) pratique la photographie et la vid�o. Dipl�m�e de l'Universit� d'Art et de Design d'Helsinki, elle vit en Finlande et en France. Elle a re�u le Prix Niepce de la Photographie en 2005 et le Prix Mosa�que du Centre National de l'Audiovisuel du Luxembourg en 2001 et publi� trois monographies: �Decisive days, photographies 1997-2001� (Kustannus Pohjoinen, Finlande, 2002), �The New Painting� (Next Level, U.K., 2005) et �Etudes d�apr�s mod�le, danseurs� (Textuel, avec l�aide de l�Op�ra de Paris, France, 2007). Son nouveau livre autour de la s�rie des �Model Studies� est en cours d��laboration. Elina Brotherus "Retrospective" January 9 - February 13, 2010 irst part of two consecutive solo exhibitions dedicated to the work of the Finnish artist Elina Brotherus at gb agency, this "Retrospective" presents a wide selection of photographs from different series in a scenography inspired by the 19th century French Salons. If this "Retrospective" obviously plays with the codes that those kind of exhibitions may suggest, it differs however by avoiding any strictly chronological or thematic approach. The photographs from the different series �Das M�dchen sprach von Liebe�, �Suites Fran�aises�, �The New Painting�, �Model Studies�, �Artist and her Model� or �Etudes d�apr�s mod�le, danseurs� are mixed one with the others and confronted to create a constellation echoing the concerns, the structure and the obsessive nature of Elina Brotherus' work throughout the years, allowing a timeless perception of her work. The second part of the exhibition (February 20 - March 20, 2010) will be dedicated to the presentation of a new series of photographs entitled �Artists at Work� as well as a new video work. Elina Brotherus (1972) works with photography and video. She lives in Finland and France. She was a recipient of the Prix Niepce de la Photographie in 2005 and of the Prix Mosa�que du Centre National de l 'Audiovisuel du Luxembourg in 2001. She published three monographic books: �Decisive days , photographies 1997-2001� (Kustannus Pohjoinen, Finland 2002), �The New Painting� (Next Level, U.K., 2005) and �Etudes d�apr�s mod�le, danseurs� (Textuel, with the support of the Op�ra de Paris, France, 2007). Her new book on the �Model Studies� series is currently under process. |
