Celle du monde arabe, mais aussi de la planète tout entière est au cœur du travail du duo palestinien Basel Abbas et Ruanne Abou-Rahme, lauréat du Prix Abraaj. Cette œuvre de recherche sur un présent en crise et un désastre continu est à l’intersection de la culture et du politique. Cette fois, les duettistes sont partis d’un poème de l’essayiste féministe américaine Adrienne Rich, Diving into the Wreck, point de départ couplé à des séjours dans des villages palestiniens détruits.

En toile de fond figure une question lancinante : Que reste-t-il quand The perpetual violence of the world - prevalent in the Arab world, but toute forme de vie se délite ? l also across the entire planet - is at the heart of the work produced by the Palestinian duo, Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme, winners of the Abraaj Prize. This research work on a present in crisis and ongoing disaster lies at the intersection of culture and politics. On this occasion, the pair were inspired by the poem Diving into the Wreck written by the American feminist and essayist Adrienne Rich. It served as the starting point, coupled with their trips to destroyed Palestinian villages. Accordingly, their film plays on different temporalities between flashbacks and flash-forwards, amnesia and a sense of déjà vu. As often with Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme, the text - very much present on the screen - is as important as the image. A nagging question figures in the background: what remains when all life is unraveling? l UNLIMITED PAGE LE QUOTIDIEN DE L’ART | JUNE 2016 SPECIAL ISSUE 06 GALERIE FRANK ELBAZ, Paris / By/Par Emmanuelle GAGOSIAN GALLERY — Stand U6 Lequeux Davide Balula Il avait défrayé la chronique lors de sa nomination au dernier Prix Marcel Davide Balula, Duchamp, en envoyant un pickpocket dans les allées de la FIAC pour glisser dans 3 Lens Spectacles (for a Mime), 2016. quelques poches un petit fétiche de céramique, que les heureux élus découvraient Custom made prescription par hasard, une fois le forfait commis.

OF GRAND RAPIDS JUNE 2021 New Holocaust Memorial at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park Generously Given by The Pestka Family The Jewish Federation of Grand Rapids has received a generous gift from the Pestka Family in memory of their father Henry, a Holocaust survivor, and the millions of other Jews who perished in the Holocaust. Henry Pestka was born in Poland, and deported to the Auschwitz death camp as a young man. Henry managed to escape during a death march, and joined the Free French in the fight against the Nazis. After the war ended, Henry immigrated to the United States and settled in Grand Rapids. The gift will be used to establish the first Holocaust memorial in Grand Rapids, to be located at the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park. The selected sculpture, by Israeli artist Ariel Schlesinger, is titled Ways to Say Goodbye. It is an exceptional work of contemporary sculpture dealing with themes of profound loss and grief, and will serve to memorialize the millions who perished in the Holocaust and the Holocaust survivors of Western Michigan. About the Artist Ariel Schlesinger (b. 1980, Jerusalem) reveals the poetry, poignancy and potential of everyday things. Through precise interventions, creative engineering and trompe l’oeil, Ariel Schlesinger’s work challenges our perceptions and encourages us to look at the familiar in new ways. Ariel Schlesinger has lived and worked in many parts of the world, including the United WWW.JEWISHGRANDRAPIDS.ORG States, Great Britain, Mexico and Germany.

    JONATHAN MONK Without curated by Adam Carr September 7 – October 27, 2012 M E E S S E N D E C L E R C Q Rue de l’Abbaye 2a +32 2 644 34 54 B 1000 Brussels Belgium www.meessendeclercq.com Without, without any conventional reason or theme that commonly brings works together, takes as its starting point the artist Jonathan Monk, yet this exhibition, will be about the artist but will be without the artist. The beginning of Monk’s work – and one of its primary points of investigation – emerges from the point at which other artists' ideas culminate into works of art. Without presents artworks by a number of international artists, which continue this process of, and approach to, the production of art. More significantly however, all of artists included in the exhibition have made works that directly address Monk’s work, or himself, using his work or his presence in various ways and in different circumstances. The exhibition speaks of desire to rethink ways in which exhibitions can be constructed and brought forward to the public. Making a portrait of a particular artist through an exhibition of artworks by other artists, it revises the idea of a solo exhibition by fusing it together with the model of the group exhibition – an exhibition that is about Jonathan Monk but seemingly without Jonathan Monk. Without says as much about the artist as well as his approach to work, the work itself and its influence on others, than it does about the artists included and their individual practices.

    February | 2015 PRESS RELEASE Group exhibition «Topsy-Turvy World» Opening: Wednesday, February 25, 2015, 6 – 8 pm Exhibition: until April 30, 2015 «Topsy-Turvy World» presents artists from our program along with guest who open up unusual views on everyday objects: Reto Boller | Sébastien de Ganay | Jonas Etter | Marcius Galan | Alicja Kwade | Richard Allen Morris | Arnold Odermatt | Koka Ramishvili | Ariel Schlesinger | Roman Signer Art often finds ways to show us familiar things from unfamiliar perspectives and to reveal characteristics of objects that we do not expect from them in the first place. Tendencies of the 1960s and 1970s, which are one of our gallery’s focal points, essentially aimed at casting new light on the traditional understanding of art. Free from this specifically artistic discourse contemporary artists often focus on a new perception of everyday objects. Sometimes, their creations thus tend to be surreal, comical or absurd. With «Topsy-Turvy World» we will present works that distinctly show these aspects. In a photograph of Roman Signer for instance, a red kayak in a barrel contrasts with the misty melancholic autumn landscape that surrounds this curious «time sculpture». In Koka Ramishvili’s videos, someone pours liquid out onto a table instead of into the cup – a gesture that seems funny at first but that in fact is subversive. In Sébastien de Ganay’s work, the national colors of France shine from a traffic light that is literally «folded» and that sounds Serge Gainsbourg’s reggae version of the «Marseillaise». Reto Boller mounts six motorcycle helmets in two rigid rows to the wall.
