This oil producing country has passed through unprecedented increase in wealth thanks to sheikh Hamad bin Interview Khalifa Al Thani, who arrived to power in 1995, and established Qatar as one of the most Staffan Ahrenberg powerful countries in the world.

Qatar also hosts the Taliban and the Hamas headquarters, as well as other international organisations such as the British Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Museums Studies, among others, and broadcaster Al Jazeera headquarters (Doha).

Two years ago, the country international experts to get some advice on big purchases, won the name “cultural destination of the year”, and over in order to reduce the margin of error. Indeed, thanks to its the last six years over $430m have been spent in cultural powerful financial means, Qatar systematically bids by 40% goods from the United States.

As stated by Edward Dolman — who left Christie’s to become executive director of the office of sheikha Mayassa, the sheikh’s daughter and head of the Qatar Museums Authority, the aim is for Qatar to become, by 2030, a country with a culture-based, rather than an oil-based economy. Qatar thus highlighted Louise Bourgeois, with the exhibition “Conscious and Unconscious”; Richard Serra, who installed a monumental work in front of the Museum of Islamic Art; and Chinese artist Cai Guo-Qiang, on display at the Mathaf. Qatar aims at becoming the main destination of cultural tourism in years to come. However a new question arises: is art really at stake, or is this only a money matter? Art and freedom Though Qatar seems to focus exclusively on blockbusters of Western contemporary art, it is normal to question the true position of art in the country. Is it considered a mere source of income, or is it entrusted with a real educational value? New exhibitions organised in Doha might show the royal family and Qatar are truly interested in art. Let us recall the exhibition “Tea with Nefertiti”, organised at the Mathaf, under the curatorship of Sam Bardaouil from Lebanon and Till Fellrath from Germany. It is the first time an exhibition created in that part of the planet will tour to Paris and Brussels. This remarkable exhibition, dedicated to the historic figure become some freedom of expression. pop icon, Nefertiti, presents both ancient and However, on a closer look, one realises Qatar is not so contemporary art, uncensored.

    « Chuuuttt », Jef Aérosol (2011), Paris L’art urbain : de l’interdit aux marqueurs de la mondialisation Frédéric DURAND L’art urbain, ou street art, est délicat à délimiter, tant dans ses formes que dans ses finalités. À l’origine, il s’agit d’inscriptions ou d’images jouant avec l’interdit ou la provocation, mais exprimant aussi une volonté plastique tout en acceptant un caractère éphémère. Par le passé, le caractère subversif s’est traduit par l’anonymat de nombreuses réalisations, voire par leur destruction sans qu’aucun témoignage n’en soit conservé.

    THE LETTERS OF VINCENT VAN GOGH ‘Van Gogh’s letters… are one of the greatest joys of modern literature, not only for the inherent beauty of the prose and the sharpness of the observations but also for their portrait of the artist as a man wholly and selessly devoted to the work he had to set himself to’ - Washington Post ‘Fascinating… letter after letter sizzles with colorful, exacting descriptions … This absorbing collection elaborates yet another side of this beuiling and brilliant artist’ - The New York Times Book Review ‘Ronald de Leeuw’s magnicent achievement here is to make the letters accessible in English to general readers rather than art historians, in a new translation so excellent I found myself reading even the well-known letters as if for the rst time… It will be surprising if a more impressive volume of letters appears this year’ — Observer ‘Any selection of Van Gogh’s letters is bound to be full of marvellous things, and this is no exception’ — Sunday Telegraph ‘With this new translation of Van Gogh’s letters, his literary brilliance and his statement of what amounts to prophetic art theories will remain as a force in literary and art history’ — Philadelphia Inquirer ‘De Leeuw’s collection is likely to remain the denitive volume for many years, both for the excellent selection and for the accurate translation’ - The Times Literary Supplement ‘Vincent’s letters are a journal, a meditative autobiography… You are able to take in Vincent’s extraordinary literary qualities … Unputdownable’ - Daily Telegraph ABOUT THE AUTHOR, EDITOR AND TRANSLATOR VINCENT WILLEM VAN GOGH was born in Holland in 1853.

  • Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995
    Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995 bron Van Gogh Museum Journal 1995. Waanders, Zwolle 1995 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_van012199501_01/colofon.php © 2012 dbnl / Rijksmuseum Vincent Van Gogh 6 Director's Foreword The Van Gogh Museum shortly after its opening in 1973 For those of us who experienced the foundation of the Van Gogh Museum at first hand, it may come as a shock to discover that over 20 years have passed since Her Majesty Queen Juliana officially opened the Museum on 2 June 1973. For a younger generation, it is perhaps surprising to discover that the institution is in fact so young. Indeed, it is remarkable that in such a short period of time the Museum has been able to create its own specific niche in both the Dutch and international art worlds. This first issue of the Van Gogh Museum Journal marks the passage of the Rijksmuseum (National Museum) Vincent van Gogh to its new status as Stichting Van Gogh Museum (Foundation Van Gogh Museum). The publication is designed to both report on the Museum's activities and, more particularly, to be a motor and repository for the scholarship on the work of Van Gogh and aspects of the permanent collection in broader context. Besides articles on individual works or groups of objects from both the Van Gogh Museum's collection and the collection of the Museum Mesdag, the Journal will publish the acquisitions of the previous year. Scholars not only from the Museum but from all over the world are and will be invited to submit their contributions.

  • French Invasion Press Release
    FRENCH CONNECTION INVASION New work by JonOne, Nasty, Rero, Speedy Graphito and Tilt Saturday, May 12th - Sunday, June 24th, 2012 Opening reception with live performance: Saturday, May 12th, from 7-10pm Fabien Castanier Gallery is proud to present the first exhibition in Los Angeles dedicated to the work of France’s leading street artists today. FRENCH INVASION features brand new work by: JonOne, Nasty, Rero, Speedy Graphito and Tilt. The exhibition will present an extensive range of work by these artists including paintings, installations, silkscreens and sculpture. Speedy Graphito, JonOne and Tilt will be present at the Opening Reception on May 12th, spraying a collaborative mural live throughout the evening. Paris has always been an important source of creative inspiration for artists across the globe, giving rise to some of the most important art movements in history. Though born in NYC, graffiti made its way across the pond, becoming firmly rooted in the neighborhoods of France. Whereas art produced on the streets was previously relegated to neighborhood walls and the metro, today it can be seen in galleries and museums. Street art in France has become one of the most considerable art movements of this century. Rero, 2011 FRENCH INVASION highlights the differences in media, context, audiences and issues that these artists maintain both on the street and in the art market. Common to all these artists is their investment in the streets of Paris during the 2000’s but also their evolution in galleries in France and abroad. Contemporary urban art is now the movement of today and tomorrow.

It was Gauguin who could not tolerate the way Gogh's living style and felt threatened by Gogh's unstable psychological state and left him. How easy was it to just give up understanding Vincent, and rationalising that perhaps his eccentricities, whatever and however they are, may just be appreciated now that he has passed?

    Rebecca Warren 57 rue du Temple, 75004 Paris 26 May – 21 July 2018 Opening: 26 May 2018, 6 – 9pm Galerie Max Hetzler is pleased to announce Rebecca Warren's frst show in the Paris gallery. The artist describes the works in this show as falling into three broad categories: a set of small, slender, painted sculptures, homuncili-like, in various standing or dancing postures, some of which display her continuing interest in twins or doubled forms; a 1.5 metres high bronze sculpture, warrior-like, fag- or shield-bearing, incorporating strange strutting or buttressing; and some wall-mounted assemblages of varying sizes, simultaneously eerie and cute, using neon, pompoms and a range of fragments and ephemera. We R the Batique, 2018, hand-painted bronze Recurring throughout these works are rudimentary glyphs, shapes, sometimes painted or made of neon, suggestive of a proto-language, an urge towards articulation - or alternatively of an opaque alien language. In other instances, paint is applied to suggest fesh or clothing or, at the far end of the scale, surface shimmer. Rebecca Warren (1965, London) lives and works in London. Having studied at Goldsmith's and Chelsea College, she came to prominence with solo and group shows at major venues. She was nominated for the Turner Prize, London in 2006 and for the Vincent Award, Amsterdam in 2008.
