LE CARREAU DU TEMPLE From March 23RD to 26TH Wednesday, March 22ND: preview www.drawingnowparis.com

Press release January 2017 Press contact: Edito Agence Observatoire / Véronique Janneau www.observatoire.fr 68 rue Pernety, 75014 Paris Since 2007, Parisian spring has been coming into bloom with contemporary drawing! This event, which has stood as a highly antcipated seasonal gathering for over ten years, promises collectors, +33 1 43 54 87 71 professionals, and enthusiasts a unique encounter with a vast array of diverse contemporary drawing practces. Aurélie Cadot: [email protected] The 2017 editon has some wonderful surprises in store for its visitors, devised by a newly-formed selecton commitee that will bring a fresh tone to the event.

The applicatons submited for 2017 were of unprecedented quality, which made it partcularly challenging to only accept one in two! Our selecton commitee is to be commended for their rigorous eforts, which have served to amplify the distnctve spirit of each of the two levels at Carreau du Temple: ‘precedent’ and ‘emergent’! Indeed, how does one judge the noton of emergence without any ageist prejudice? And how can we bring collectors to appreciate new works by recognized artsts of whom they think they’ve already seen it all? It is in exploring both levels of Carreau du Temple that all visitors can follow their own desires while beneftng from the opportunites provided to see works by artsts of difering generatons and levels of recogniton.

The Reference secton, comprising 52 exhibitng galleries, will allow visitors to encounter emerging, primarily foreign artsts and to discover new works by renowned artsts. This experience will be reinforced by the Master Now circuit, which is a fne selecton of masterpieces displayed throughout the fair. Thanks to gallery proposals of solo shows and exhibitons specially curated for the fair, great energy emanates from the Emergence secton that is composed of 19 galleries and located in the two rooms on the lower ground (-1) level. This editon thus ensures ample discoveries and promises to be a source of endless surprise and inspiraton for new enthusiasts.

Such discoveries also involve venturing into new territories. Our stronghold is presently European, but in the upcoming editon, new countries are to be represented from Africa to Korea and, within Europe, from Portugal to Hungary. The submissions will interact and visually ricochet from one booth to another. The exhibiton, curated by our artstc director, Philippe Piguet, and presented near the Emergence secton on level -1, is enttled Deep Surfaces/à feur de peau. It will no doubt further extend the bounding lines of drawing.

For 5 days, drawing, performances, Talks, and encounters will energize Carreau du Temple.

The Talks and artst interviews will take place in the Carreau du Temple’s auditorium on Thursday, March 23rd, and will resound with exchanges between personalites of the art world and the audience. Artsts, students, collectors, and visitors alike will have the pleasure of deepening their knowledge of contemporary drawing.

Last but not least, video returns in full force this year with a crossover program from galleries and selected public collectons thanks to the Drawing Center New York.

As for Le Parcours, the insttutonal exhibitons trail, it promises a hand-picked selecton of complementary, distnct approaches along the avenue of contemporary practces.

Till Freiwald is a German contemporary artst that favours monumental pastel drawings and watercolour paintngs. Famous for his portraits that he sees as an internal efort, which requires a sustained, direct emotonal confrontaton with the model, he now started working on large scale buildings and neighbourhoods. According to Freiwald, direct observaton is the only way to capture the intensity of real encounters. He thus creates his work on a series of dialogue with the model or the place. Startng from a small drawing, he will later build upon the unavoidable absence of the model and start building its own illusory representaton. Using monumental enlarged format, that arise solely from his memory later, he so flters the frst impression of his own inner eye.

David Thuku, Observer III (Identty Series), 2016, paper cut, collage and sgrafto on paper, 88,5 x 64 cm © ARTLabAfrica Franck Lundangi, Le mystère de la vie, 2016, watercolor on paper, 76 x 56 cm © Galerie Anne de Villepoix, Paris Born in 1985 in Nakuru, Kenya, David Thuku is a mixed media artst living and working in Nairobi. His current practce focuses on paper, using the ‘sgrafto’ technique - normally associated with applying layers of plaster tnted in contrastng colours to a moistened surface and then scratching material away to reveal parts of the underlying layer. In these works Thuku superimposes several sheets of paper, carefully tested and selected for physical propertes and color, and then cuts and peels them away to reveal carefully constructed images. Thuku’s practce is an intense, private exercise that explores the nature of social structure, identty and urban migraton through the staging of semi-abstract portraits. The fgures presented are types of people – archetypes not individuals – developed with indicators such as a te, a pair of smart shoes, or a workman’s helmet. They analyse the everyday space we occupy, peeling layers of the paper to delve and uncover hidden issues that are ofen uncomfortable: corrupton, scenes of private domestc space, personal decisions. Throughout his compositons Thuku uses repeated motfs to indicate spatal environment and character. Patern has partcular signifcance in these works, creatng an anonymous sense of space and perspectve but most importantly, as one patern appears from piece of work to another signifying contnuity and comparison. Thuku is very interested in the iconography of fguraton and his subjects are ofen portrayed in very distnctve poses, reminiscent of iconic imagery. In his current group of works, Thuku has begun exploring themes of power, consumerism, labelling and identty.

Pedro Mota’s work can be understood as a metaphorical and poetc testmony to the evoluton of natural landscapes and human interference in nature.

The sculpture becomes for Pagès the subject of a veritable reconstructon, and thus remote from Our coexistence with the natural environment confronts us with situatons of which we do not believe or of which we doubt that they actually exist; Mota develops the project, analysis and deconstructon of a work of art, essental to the other Supports/Surfaces members.

Pressing on the whiteness of the paper, in the chaos of black lines drawn with passionate energy, Marko Velk allowed a phantasmagoria to come about.

Techniques such as collage, (mis)appropriaton and subversion are shared Ravens takes as point of departure the idea that landscape can be read not as mere backdrop to human actvity or even its absence, but rather as a complex by many of our artsts as well as a convergent interest in fguraton, referencing the realites of an everyday world.

These images draw their emotonal impact from the contrast between a transformaton of picturesque values and a vision of hyper-modernity. The sublime and the banal are equally interchangeable in these sprawling utopic/dystopic visions. Anchored in a highly artculate yet ambiguous depth, an atmospheric yet overwhelming melancholy serves to fxate an almost eclipsed idealism.

Sandra Vásquez de la Horra was born in Chile in 1967 and currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Vásquez de la Horra not only relates her own personal, private visions and dreams, she also operates within the dense fabric of folkloric, magical, hidden, collectve ideas, that is, in an archetypal, conventonal and popular context of age-old metaphoric tales. Her imagery coated with black humour refects the South American cultural context - religion, superstton, myth, social realites, death - as well as an in depth knowledge of European and South-American literature, philosophy and anthropology. Sandra Vásquez de la Horra has the courage and the ability to draw atenton to irratonal, obscure visions, while at the same tme using subversive, ironical complexity and anthropologically determined, archetypal human drama with authentc contemporary empathy. Vásquez de la Horra fnishes her drawings by dipping them in wax and this treatment gives her work a unique materiality and endows the pencil line with ambiguous depth. Through this unusual method the pencil lines seem more profound and leave her works with an elegant patna, the works appear tmeless. The treatment with wax unifes the papers to a certain degree, and leads the viewer back to concentratng on what is being represented. Her narratves suggest a subversive and at the same tme dramatc way of reading our reality. In 2009, Vasquez de la Horra was awarded the Daniel & Florence Guerlain Contemporary Art Foundaton Drawings Prize. Her work is included in museum collectons in Germany, Switzerland and France, as well as prestgious private collectons.

It is a staged silence and injury, watching us, and, what is coming towards us, with the slowness of a dead star, is this gash, these scars, this wound – a gap, which is at the same tme a voiceless supplicaton, an inaudible cry or spasm; Soren’s use of materials gives these fgures a consistency which makes them ever more present and palpable...» Extract from the aferword of «Bestaire suivi de Pénombres» («Bestary followed by Penumbras») by J-M Maubert, Maurice Nadeau editons, March 2017.

Promoteur indépendant parisien, SOFERIM s’est toujours ataché à ofrir aux artstes contemporains de nouvelles plages d’expression : bâches d’artstes sur les chanters, murs peints, œuvres d’art dans les halls d’habitaton ou de bureaux, souten à des éditons. Si sa devise est « L’immobilier créatf » ce n’est pas un hasard et la créatvité au sens large s’exprime dans les réalisatons qui donnent une nouvelle vie à de nombreux bâtments. Les rencontres avec les artstes et leurs œuvres permetent un dialogue permanent au sein de la société et avec les utlisateurs des immeubles. C’est donc naturellement que SOFERIM s’est engagé auprès de DRAWING NOW PARIS dès sa première éditon en 2007 en lui donnant la possibilité d’investr des immeubles avant ou après leur réhabilitaton. Cet engagement s’est transformé au cours du temps en un concours fnancier permetant de décerner le prix DRAWING NOW. C’est ainsi que 6 lauréats ont été récompensés par une dotaton fnancière et ont pu bénéfcier d’une expositon personnelle l’année suivante. Une nouvelle collaboraton inédite vient de démarrer autour d’un espace évènementel de plus de 2000 m2, dénommé Quai 8 et situé au 1 rue de St Petersbourg. Cet espace sera géré par CPCT Arts&Events en atendant le démarrage des travaux de restructuraton : événements culturels, déflés et présentatons diverses se dérouleront dans ce lieu insolite ! www.soferim.com Media partners
