Hudinilson Jr, Hudinilson Jr / Flash Art NY Desk

Opening: 06.03.15, 6:30 pm
07.03 – 04.04.15

Organized by Michele D’Aurizio

The art of Hudinilson Urbano Junior (São Paulo, 1957 – 2013) emerged in the late 1970s, when Brazilian cultural production was stifled by the military dictatorship, and the avant-garde Concretist project of blending art and life had been appropriated by the bohemia. In a context in which the very few extant museums and galleries were presided over by the establishment, and the only interventions in public space had to assume the posture of a guerrilla action (Hudinilson Jr was originally part of the collective 3NÓS3 who, among their many performances, bagged monuments around the city), the artist turned to the intimate domain of his own body: by using a Xerox machine he accessed, reproduced and learned about every single detail of his anatomy. “Already from the beginning, the topic of my work was the body,” says Hudinilson Jr in one of his last interviews. “If a person is alone with a Xerox machine, what is the first thing this person will do? […] I first Xeroxed the hand, then the face — but then also all the rest. […] I would close the door, undress and continue my explorations.”

The exhibition at the Flash Art NY Desk brings together a constellation of works, mostly from the 1980s, which all insist on Hudinilson Jr’s obsession with the male body. Collages, photographs, found objects and sculptures, along with the trademark Xeroxes, allow for a scrutiny of the traits of virility, from clichéd representations of gay pornography to abstractions that result from the feverish process of enlarging, reframing and collaging together pictures of the artist’s own body. The narcissistic afflatus, which Hudinilson Jr always intuitively recognized as the thrust of his practice, can also be recognized as an empirical exploration of his queer identity — an impending onanism that exhausts the political gesture by imitating a sexual encounter that can only be nonproductive: hence, the artist’s posição amorosa, his “sex position,” fosters little more than the “exercise” of reproducing the self.

The exhibition is generously supported by Galeria Jaqueline Martins, São Paulo.

Mari MINATO
PARIS

Parcelles d’Espaces

14 mars – 11 avril 2015



Galerie Richard a le plaisir d’inaugurer l’exposition personnelle de Mari Minato nouvellement représentée par notre galerie sous le titre de « Parcelles d’Espaces ». Cette exposition se tiendra du 14 mars au 11 avril 2015 dans notre galerie parisienne.

Mari Minato présentera une série de peintures, formées de plusieurs panneaux, des œuvres sur papier de différents formats, ainsi qu’une installation inspirée par l’espace de la galerie. La pénétrante sensibilité de ses œuvres est issue d’une réflexion approfondie sur l’origine des images ; les cultures et les traces laissées par l’Homme au fil des siècles dans les espaces qu’ils habitent constituent sa source première d’inspiration. L’osmose des formes et des couleurs vibrantes appliquées selon une logique aussi implacable qu’universelle répond à l’influence réciproque des civilisations à travers l’Histoire. Sa sensibilité au caractère organique et historique des lieux lui permet de parvenir à une forme d’abstraction.

Son travail d’imprégnation est issu de son goût prononcé pour le voyage qui se manifeste à travers un processus immersif préalable à la création. Elle utilise ses carnets de voyage pour inventorier et ordonner par le croquis et par le texte les éléments constitutifs de cultures choisies. C’est-à-dire cette relation intime entre un lieu concret et la vie de ses occupants laissant successivement les signes éphémères de leur passage. C’est de cette relation que Mari Minato s’imprègne afin de « recommuniquer » ses traces dont la pureté et l’élégance entre en écho avec ce que la sensibilité humaine a de plus profond. Ses œuvres sur papier, bien que détachées de la culture qui les a inspirées, transmettent une énergie et une vérité dont la portée va au delà de l’espace et du temps.

Sa technique est en partie issue de son étude de la peinture japonaise caractérisée par l’application d’un tracé fluide et sensuel sur une surface volontairement laissée blanche dans une volonté d’épure et de spiritualité. À cet enseignement, elle mêle la technique contemporaine de l’acrylique qu’elle a progressivement associé à celle inspirée du déroulé de la couleur en lithographie. De par la fluidité du médium, une grande liberté formelle est alliée à une variété de couleurs vives s’imbriquant et fusionnant sans jamais se mélanger. L’association de cette technique et de la force expressive de Mari Minato donnent des œuvres à l’élégance et aux formes organiques singulières qui font d’elle une artiste du détail et de l’émotion.

Mari Minato est née à Kyoto en 1981 et vit à Paris depuis 2006. Elle a très récemment réalisé une installation à l’Hôpital Necker, a exposé à la Galerie Premier Regard sous l’invitation de Gilles Fuchs en 2015 et au 59ème Salon de Montrouge en 2014. Elle a participé en 2012 à la 21ème édition de L’Art dans les Chapelles. La même année elle a réalisé plusieurs installations, notamment à la Saline Royale d’Arc-et-Senans et lors de l’exposition Little Fukushima au sein la Cité Internationale des Arts de Paris organisée en hommage aux disparus de la catastrophe du 11 mars 2011.

PVA writing workshops with Morgan Quaintance

The second of our workshops with PVA (the journal of contemporary art criticism) will take place on the 7th of March in CCA. This session will be led by PVA editors and art critics Nathan O’Donnell and Marysia Wieckiewicz-Carroll with guest writer Morgan Quaintance. The workshops are for writers at any level with an interest in writing about art, exploring some of the major questions facing the writer on visual art, and asking what it means to produce a regional art criticism.

The Turin Horse - Wednesday, March 4th, 2014, 7:00pm
In conjunction with Void‘s exhibition Horse, and as part of of our ongoing Our Neighbourhood project looking at animal knowledge, CCA are pleased to present a screening of Béla Tarr’s film, The Turin Horse. The screening will take place in Void’s City Factory Gallery space.
This bleak, intense film uses as a starting point the story of
the whipping of a horse in the city of Turin, Italy which was alleged to have caused the mental breakdown of the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. 

Alissa Kleist appointed Curator (Exhibitions)

CCA is delighted to announce the appointment of Alissa Kleist to the Curator (Exhibitions) post. Alissa comes to us from a number of curatorial posts and projects in Catalyst Arts, Household and PS2, among others. Her biography can be found on our website, here.

CCA director Matt Packer said, “We look forward to Alissa joining us as part of our small team at CCA. She brings with her a host of experiences, enthusiasms and abilities, and I look forward to working closely with her to shape CCA’s exhibition programme in the coming years.” 

Welcome, Alissa!
