The Gallery

The christian berst gallery is specialized in art brut. By presenting the contemporary aspect of art brut, the gallery implies that it cannot be confined neither in a period of time nor in a geographical perimeter not even in a formal spectrum. What is at stake here is rather the notion of individual mythology, dear to Harald Szeemann. The gallery - situated in the Marais area in a space of 200m², distinguishes itself by its exhibitions (seven a year) entrusted to José Manuel Egea, El hombre sin cara, 2015, mixed media on newspaper page, 42 x 29.5 cm, courtesy christian berst art brut & artist well-known curators, by its participations in international fairs , its numerous publications always aiming to invite a large public into the mysterious realms of art brut. José Manuel Egea, born in 1988 in Madrid, has been fascinated with the figure of the lycanthrope, or the werewolf, since his childhood. Not only is he convinced of being one himself, but he seems to want to reveal to us, through his works, that the double monstrosity The Gallery’s artists lies beneath the surface for many of us, if not all of us. In order to do this, he has developed a rich palette of representations of this “Other” Didier Amblard / Jacqueline B / that everyone harbors: from sketches to drawings on photographic portraits taken from Beverly Baker / Franco Bellucci / magazines or art books, including sculpture and performances during which he “plays out” Eric Benetto / Therese Bonnelalbay / his transformation. This mythological creature is obviously the symbol of a blurry duality, but Giovanni Bosco / Kostia Botkine / it embodies a great power at the same time, mysterious, and capable of exerting an influence Anibal Brizuela / Raimundo Camilo / on mankind, of inspiring fear in him. So what would be better, to exorcize it, than to play with Misleidys Francisca Castillo Pedroso / this fear, to seek to become the fear itself, and to feel invested with its force? John Ricardo Cunningham / John Devlin / It isn’t insignificant that Egea makes this dark side appear, especially using images printed Fernand Desmoulin / Janko Domsic / on glossy paper whose only purpose was to seduce us. He conjures our bestiality there, Jose Manuel Egea / Guo Fengyi / made of shadowy and menacing silhouettes, enucleated eyes, triumphant hairiness and Johann Fischer / Pepe Gaitan Jill Gallieni / lupine attributes. And this is the reversal in the other side of the mirror. This iconoclasm can Anton Hirschfeld / Josef Hofer / reach the gutter of the page, clear-cut, as if to accentuate the fracture between two worlds; John Urho Kemp / Johann Korec / sometimes even, it is the complete covering of the page, through which we can barely see, Zdenek Kosek / Joseph Lambert / vanquished in the darkness, the fictitious beauty that these images impose on us. Alexandre Lobanov / Kunizo Matsumoto / José Manuel Egea gives himself over to liberating play since, even though he mangles our Dan Miller /Albert Moser / Michel Nedjar / humanity, by freeing himself from the norm, he reveals the grandeurs of alterity to us in a pure Marilena Pelosi / Jean Perdrizet / and unrestrained artistic gesture.

Both considered as two separate mediums, they, however are an integral part.” For the reopening of the gallery in a new space, 15 rue Guénégaud, I wished to present the entirety of the artists around a common theme: Work in Progress. The idea behind it being to showcase an unseen art work, genesis of a reflection in The Gallery’s artists progress. I asked each artist to send me a written text explaining their intentions and positioning to Christophe Beauregard / Sylvie Bonnot / contemporary art. I wanted to let the artists express the thoughts and questioning normally Fabien de Chavanes / Xavier Dumoulin / brought up by curators or gallerists.

The term biomorphism comes from the Greek words: «bios» - life, and «morphè» - the form; it appears on the first version of Alfred Barr’s schema proposing the origins and evolution of abstract art. It is a «trans-movement» trend that we can identify by irregular shapes with soft The Gallery’s artists contours, physical as well as psychic associations . This trend - a single «ism» never theorized or claimed by any organized movement - somehow counterbalances the arrival of Boris Aronson / Vladimir Baranoff-Rossiné / geometric abstraction in the 1920s.

I love the midcentury-modern details of Palm Springs and the stories they evoke. I was also looking at Gordon Parks’s photographs—a different type of Americana than Norman Rockwell. I was interested in a little bit more of a stylized documentary feel, to let the world in a little bit more. I loved all the existing details of the The Gallery’s artists places we photographed in: the grass was yellow, because the weather has been so hot and dry.

Inspired by represented by the gallery: Andre, Basquiat, literature, astrophysics, philosophy and esotericism, his work redefines classical drawing by Boltanski, Buren, César, Clemente, incorporating it into installations, sculptures and murals. For this exhibition, he examined Immendorff, Flavin, Kelly, Lichtenstein, neurophysiological research on the engram, a biological trace of memories in the brain. Rauschenberg, Schnabel, Stella, Warhol The artist created an installation for the gallery combining immersive murals and drawings, among many others. Today, the exhibition multiplying the number of layers which serve to challenge our interpretation of images and program encourages a dialogue between their survival. From the celestial to terrestrial, mental recollections to the materiality of established artists (Anthony Caro, Jim Dine, marble, Abdelkader Benchamma conjures apparitions, symbols, forbidden representations Robert Motherwell, Georges Mathieu, and unconscious visions in an exploration of two questions: how is humanity programmed to George Segal, Claude Viallat), and the understand images? What is belief in today’s world?

On it, deformed trees seem to proclaim «There is spaces in Paris, one in Brussels. only one god». The Engramme mural spreads throughout the gallery space and interacts with the drawings displayed on its surface. It galvanises the entire space, both with its intangible flows and marks and by anchoring the drawings’ substance in place, bedding in the lines and subjects. The piece creates a sort of moving archaeology which roots the celestial manifestations and gives us an accelerated view of drawn-out geological periods, past events that still have an impact to this day.

Tahiti - Kehinde Wiley (28 rue du Grenier Saint-Lazare) Kehinde Wiley, star of the American art scene and Barack Obama’s official portrait artist, is back in Paris.

Wiley’s new works are focused on Tahiti’s Māhū community, the traditional Polynesian classification of people of a third gender, between male and female. The Māhū were highly respected within their society until they were banned by Catholic and Protestant missionaries. Wiley’s portraits of beautiful, transgender Tahitian women reference and confront Paul Gauguin’s celebrated works, which also feature subjects from the transgender community, but are fraught with historical undertones of colonialism and sexual objectification. Building off of Wiley’s earlier portraits that addressed issues of masculine identity and virility, these new portraits explore issues of identity through the lens of transformation, exploring both artifice and artificiality as a trans-cultural phenomenon. � Over the past fifteen years, Wiley has developed a remarkable body of work that at once Opening of Tahiti with questions and participates in the western art-historical canon of portraiture.

The Gallery

Founded in 1990 by Renos Xippas, Xippas Paris is located in the heart of the Marais. The gallery was created as an international platform for the promotion of contemporary emerging and established artists, working in various disciplines. In 2010 and 2011 Renos Xippas expanded its activities with the opening of a gallery in Montevideo and Geneva. More recently the gallery partnered with Albert Baronian in Brussels, under the name of Baronian Xippas.

Un cabinet de curiosité - Céleste Boursier-Mougenot Céleste Boursier-Mougenot transforms the underground space of Xippas Paris into a mysterious place, both a shadowy cave and a ghostly nightclub. Inspired by the belief that the audio-visual technique would have the power to connect to the afterlife, the exhibition plunges the visitor into a destabilizing zone, inhabited by abstract patterns.

Echoing Trees - Group show Echoing Trees questions the cyclical rhythm of existence, with its periods of abundance and austerity. With works by Darren Almond, Yves Bélorgey, Karishma D’Souza, Valérie Jouve, Vik Muniz, Philippe Ramette, Pablo Reinoso and Yvan Salomone, the exhibition creates a forest of symbols where the tree as a form is repeatedly reinterpreted.

More public outreach with improved mediation

Mediation on the rise

The mediation for Paris Gallery Weekend tours has been considerably enhanced this year. Anaïs Montevecchi, who joins the teams as Head of Mediation, will train students from the Masters of Cultural Mediation program at the Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3 and the Institut Catholique de Paris. Many of them will take part in the event. The students will welcome the public in front of the galleries and encourage visitors to follow the different tours. From a professional perspective, some exceptionally motivated students will be assigned two to three galleries and will make themselves available for discussions. During April and May, they will further develop their knowledge of Parisian galleries and private sector mediation. Tours in galleries, courtesy Les Galeries pour Tous

More guided tours

To better accompany the public, the number of guided tours for the event has been increased this year. Visits dedicated to businesses, partners and the Amis de Musées start on Friday afternoon with several visits also being offered free on Saturday and Sunday for the general public. A 30-minute introduction on the theme of the collection will take place before the gallery visits. These visits will last one hour and will allow visitors to discover 4 to 5 exhibitions. One of the visits will be given in English. Several tours are planned in the different neighborhoods. Saturday and Sunday at 2pm and 4pm. Free. Pre-registration : [email protected]

Smartify, a digital tool

After its premiere in 2018, Smartify and Paris Gallery Weekend join forces again by offering Courtesy Smartify the public the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of the works presented in the galleries through an educational application. Already present in museums, Smartify comes to galleries once a year for Paris Gallery Weekend. In a whole new way, visitors can scan the 2D and 3D works displayed in the galleries to instantly obtain information (technique, explanations, stories at the center of the work). The application is thought of as a digital tool which compliments mediation or dialogue with the gallery owners. The students present on the tour will be available to help visitors use the application.

PGW Treasure Hunt

As in 2018, a Treasure Hunt will take place during the three days of Paris Gallery Weekend. During the gallery visits, participants will be able to gather clues. These will allow them to compete in a drawing which will take place on Sunday evening, May 19th. The winner will be awarded € 2,000 towards the acquisition of a work from one of the participating gallery.

Tailor-made visits

Highlighting UNESCO’s collections and the screening of Opéra National de Paris’s 3e Scène

For the 2019 edition of the European Night of Museums, UNESCO will open its doors in partnership with Paris Gallery Weekend, giving the opportunity to the general public, for the 11th consecutive year, to discover the architecture of its buildings and a part of its remarkable art collection: monumental sculptures by Alexander Calder and Henry Moore, Joan Miró ceramics, paintings by Karel Appel, Antoni Tàpies and Pablo Picasso. Visitors will discover a collection built over time brought to light for the occasion. For the first time, especially for Paris Gallery Weekend, a projection of two short films from 3e Scène (Opéra de Paris) will also animate UNESCO’s large amphitheater.

Organized as a tribute to some of France’s great dealers of modern and contemporary art between 1905 and the end of the 1960s, this series of exhibitions in the halls of the Musée National d’art moderne is particularly relevant to the Paris Gallery Weekend event. These exhibitions highlight the essential role of galleries in the development of living art which they have supported since the beginning of the 20th century. The historical galleries highlighted are those of Ambroise Vollard, Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler, the gallery A L’Etoile Scellée directed by André Breton, those of Jeanne Bucher, Louis Carré, Denise René and Iris Clert as well as the Galerie de France directed by Myriam Prévost. A large section also pays tribute to Daniel Cordier as his 100th birthday approaches. The Alphonse Chave gallery in Vence, a rare example in the region, will be presented as well as Christian and Yvonne Zervos. A second phase in 2020 will present gallery owners Léonce Rosenberg, Pierre Loeb, Aimé Maeght, René Drouin, Paul Facchetti and Colette Allendy. On Sunday, May 19, a preview visit of the exhibition will be offered to guests of Paris Gallery Weekend by the program coordinator Christian Briend, Head of the Modern Collections Department (subject to availability).

Intimate encounters around private collections

Meetings between major French and international art lovers will be made possible giving a new dimension to the event. French collectors will host their foreign peers to help them discover their collections in a Parisian context. A private mansion in the Marais, a residence project for collectors in the heart of Saint Germain des Prés... these personal and intimate projects complete the panorama of creation offered by Paris Gallery Weekend.

Reflections on Contemporary Art

Conference at the Académie des beaux-arts

Artists-in-residence : a crucial topic to support contemporary creation. The residency model, anchored for decades in the art world, covers a variety of forms and organizations. These depend both on the public and private sectors and are also a major way to exhibit art in France and abroad. At a conference co-organized by the Académie des beaux-arts and Paris Gallery Weekend, institutions, artists and gallery owners will discuss the importance of these initiatives and the future that is emerging for these residencies. At the Palais de l’Institut de France, May 17 in the morning. More information to follow.

Discussion on art and fashion at the Institut Français de la Mode

Art and fashion: two bodies that revolve around each other. They often come together but can also overlook each other. What is there to say about this subject today? For Paris Gallery Weekend, the Institut Français de la Mode will invite personalities to examine the links between these two worlds in a discussion moderated by Thérèse Boon Falleur (A Magazine Curated By). At the Institut Français de la Mode, on Tuesday May 14 in the early evening, free upon registration. More information to come on https://www.ifmparis.fr/fr/institut

Art Thinking day by ESCP Europe

ESCP Europe has been training entrepreneurs since 1819. Always a pioneer, it now supports and develops Art Thinking: a method conceived by Professor Sylvain Bureau to create the improbable with certainty. ESCP Europe has been building closer links with Paris Gallery Weekend since 2017. Through the Jean-Baptiste Say Institute, ESCP Europe builds on this artistic high point to organise a conference on Art Thinking with the Centre Pompidou’s Ecole Pro. From May 16th to 19th, 2019, various workshops, visits and round tables will bring together an international collective of experts in entrepreneurship, artists and art professionals responsive to the Art Thinking method. In addition to the discussions on their respective experiences, the participants will address questions on the confrontation between Artificial Intelligence and Artistic Intelligence (AI vs AI), the differences and similarities between Design Thinking and Art Thinking and the challenge of education in artistic practices. For more information, please contact Professor Sylvain Bureau ([email protected])
