The group show DESPERANTO with Anita Molinero and Prosper Legault is on view until October 17 at Zebra3 in Bordeaux!

This proposal, which unfolds in the public space, aims to question our ability to project ourselves as a social group and construct scenarios mixing personal visions and collective mythologies.

"Somewhere between a fascination with the aesthetics of the 20th century avant-garde and the offbeat humor of 1980s technology, he produces negative prints and fossilized traces that are, seemingly, mostly sound abstractions." Thibault de Ruyter

Benjamin Sabatier presents his new series "Home Work" currently at the gallery.
Through a new introspection, he offers us a response to the situation of the artist and his relationship to work during the particular period that was the confinement.
By re-interrogating himself on what is for him the sculpture, Benjamin Sabatier proposes us a travel in time by confronting us, by the forms and the colors, to a whole period of the modern sculpture.

Tuesday to Saturday - 12:00-19:00, until October 2nd
The gallery will be exceptionally closed tomorrow.

The group show " ZWISCHEN DEN DINGEN " with Andreas Fogarasi at the volkskunde museum in Vienne is visible until November 21 !

Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Thursday from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm

"Ideas about the relationship between objects and people vary according to time and place. The current rediscovery of things as vehicles of action focuses on their materiality and how this is not only the result of human intention but also guides human action. The exhibition "Zwischen den Dingen " (Between Things) brings together artworks that focus on ordinary, discrete or obsolete everyday objects. Placed in space by artists, these things lose their univocity and raise questions : What do objects mean to us ? How do they shape our daily lives ? And above all, what connects us to them? What separates us ?"

The exhibition "Rêvons à des jours meilleurs !" with Olivier Masmonteil at the Caring Gallery in Paris opens tomorrow until September 26 !

It is a proposal that invites us to get out of the current crisis by drawing on our human resources: to heal, to question, to connect with nature, to choose, to denounce, to give meaning and to look towards the future.

The exhibition "Circularity" with the artist Kevin Rouillard at the Galerie Bertrand Grimont in Paris opens today during Paris Design Week !

New meeting at the crossroads between art and design: Made In Design, the digital platform is partnering with the Galerie Bertrand Grimont for a new exhibition around the theme of circularity from September 9 to 23, 2021.

Their space is thus transformed into a showcase for designers and emerging artists noted for their innovative, sensitive approach and their concrete actions around circularity and upcycling.

Kevin Rouillard, Biennale Internationale Saint-Paul de Vence, 2021

"In 2016, he set up his studio for several months in a closed gallery in Bordeaux where works from the 1960s were stored from the lacerated posters of the New Realism artist Jacques Villéglé. Perhaps by impregnation, the first series of " Tôles/chocs " that he produced there echoed the urban and colourful frontality of the works of the " anonymous lacerator ", but also their dangerous frontality is the result of the violence of a gesture : tearing off on a side, which here becomes hammered. In a system of equivalence of values, the can is worth the canvas, the act of painting the hammering. The artist as worker reproduces the physical, mechanical and repetitive action of a craftsman, to achieve one of the most conceptual forms of 20th century art, monochrome painting."

Only two days left to enjoy the exhibition "Une affaire d'inconnu" organized by the NetGallery with Prosper Legault!

"Prosper Legault works from the forms and relationships between everyday objects. He juxtaposes these objects to test their limits and the possibilities of a second life in a museum. His unusual intuition is employed here with the approach of a "Dadaist" sculptor who does not produce new objects, but constructs an environment of "urban poetry", not only through assemblages of incidental debris and allusive objects, but also by deconstructing written or sung words. During his endless wanderings through Paris, the artist gathers his work material in places that testify to cultural diversity: an Asian caterer with a French baker, a Tunisian creperie, a laundromat, Arab grocery stores or even a funeral home. [Prosper Legault refers us to the socio-political contexts of a cultural crossroads and to the fluctuating economy to finally bring us closer to the experience of a pure life. He is inspired by Duchamp's ready-made, by Dufrene's archi-made, by Restany, Broodthaers, SAEIO or Anita Molinero..."

Text from the website of the Centre tchèque

Only two days left to enjoy the group exhibition "Summer time" with Anita Molinero at the Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain in Genève !

" In terms of art, it should be noted that the work, which does not exceed twenty centimeters in height, still has the audacity to claim to be sculpture. We know the good word, attributed according to the versions to Barnett Newman or Ad Reinhardt: " The sculpture, it is what one stumbles on when one steps back to look at a painting ". Molinero has always claimed, if not sought, this specific aggressiveness of the medium. A violence that is found above all in the impure, qualityless materials that make up his work : omnipresent in modern life, they have long remained hidden from the gaze of art. In using them, it is not a matter of the artist transfiguring the wretched, nor of replaying, as in a bad soap opera, the eternal reconciliation of art and life. It is more a question of going to excavate in an aesthetic blind spot to bring back the crudest, but also the most familiar, heaps of reality. Indeed, it is the strength of this assemblage sculpture that it establishes itself in a no man's land between figurative fiction and "readymade". To understand this, one must hear the artist amaze at the Petite danseuse de quatorze ans by Degas as much for its vicious air as for the tulle tutu and silk bustier donned by the bronze statue."

[Opening - Benjamin Sabatier]

Tuesday to Saturday / 12:00-19:00

We are pleased to announce the extension of the exhibition Home Work !

After Hardwork and Formwork this exhibition is the plastic continuity through which Benjamin Sabatier doesn't cease to reinterrogate the relationship to work and in particular here, that of the artist in a situation of recent confinement. Through these joyful and timeless volumes, the artist brings into play the fundamental principles of sculpture through forms that are both obvious and ambiguous, leading us to think of abstract sculpture as a modern epic.

/ Summer break from July 31 to September 10 included /

"Thereby, this series seems to be a new phase in which Benjamin Sabatier aggregates several elements: his technical ability when using concrete, his precise knowledge of abstract sculpture from the ‘70s onward, his vision of lockdown, and his frugal nature that makes recycling an obvious choice. Furthermore, these panel sculptures borrow both from the Structural Works series -with concrete and burnt wood- in their architectural presence as well as from the painting-collages series -with washed out colors resulting from dripping paint. In that sense they can be considered as a synthesis, a new phase opening to new perspectives in his work.”

The summer exhibition 2021, with Olivier Masmonteil at the Centre d’Art Contemporain, Meymac.

"Summer is a time for vacation. It's a time for going out, walking in nature, swimming in the sea. It's a time to pick fruit, to cultivate your garden, to be with your family and friends, to meet new people. It's camping, swimming, sunbathing on the beach, sailing, surfing, paragliding, discovering new places, traveling. Because of the pandemic we might forget it. Through their works, their installations, the invited artists reactivate the actuality, revive the emotions."
