Cette exposition réunit plus de 200 créations et retrace 30 ans de production d’une œuvre où la photographie côtoie le collage, la peinture et la vidéo.

Cette exposition réunit ses séries iconiques, parmi lesquelles « Umbra », « Parasomnia », « Flamboya » ou « Roxane », des archives inédites, ses œuvres aux techniques mixtes mêlant tirages photographiques, peintures, collages et vidéos ainsi qu’une sélection de ses photographies de mode. L’exposition ambitionne d’éclairer le processus créatif de Viviane Sassen en suivant deux grands axes : la recherche constante de renouvellement des formes photographiques et l’importance de la sphère intime dans son œuvre. Chez Sassen, la photographie n’est pas une simple surface mais un lieu ouvert où elle fait cohabiter ses rêves, ses désirs et ses craintes avec la réalité tangible du monde.

Après quelques années passées à étudier la mode, Viviane Sassen se tourne rapidement vers la photographie où elle se forme à la Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU). Dès la fin de ses études, elle alterne entre projets personnels et commandes commerciales. Son style photographique – aux couleurs intenses, aux jeux graphiques sur l’ombre et la lumière ainsi que le regard singulier qu’elle porte sur les corps – est rapidement plébiscité. Sassen acquiert une renommée internationale, aussi bien dans la sphère de la mode qu’au sein des institutions culturelles.

A l’occasion de cette exposition sera édité un ouvrage de plus de 400 pages aux éditions Prestel et en collaboration avec la MEP. La conception du livre est assurée par la graphiste néerlandaise Irma Boom

VOL - LA PEINTURE FIGURATIVE DE JUDIT REIGL MUSÉE DE KISCELL BUDAPEST HONGRIEVOL - LA PEINTURE FIGURATIVE DE JUDIT REIGL

MUSÉE DE KISCELL, BUDAPEST, HONGRIE

23 AOÛT - 27 OCTOBRE 2023

Plusieurs musées européens et hongrois célèbrent le centenaire de la naissance de Judit Reigl au travers d'expositions consacrées à l'artiste. Les œuvres présentées au Musée Kiscell - Galerie Municipale de Budapest permettent de faire le pont entre l'exposition de la Neue Nationalgalerie de Berlin et celle organisée par le Musée des Beaux-Arts de Budapest. En effet, la première couvre la période la plus célèbre de l'artiste, ses peintures abstraites et figuratives des années 1950 aux années 1980, tandis que la seconde propose une sélection d'œuvres datant des dernières années de la carrière de Judit Reigl. L'exposition au Musée Kiscell se concentre quant à elle sur l'intervalle entre ces deux périodes et révèle pour la première fois l'importance occupée par la représentation de l'homme dans l'œuvre de Judit Reigl.

Dans l'espace monumental de la chapelle du Musée Kiscell (qui était un lieu important pour Reigl) ces figures humaines flottantes et volantes trouvent un contexte particulier. L'exposition est organisée en collaboration avec le Fonds de dotation Judit Reigl, la fondation parisienne chargée de préserver l'héritage de l'artiste et détenant les droits d'auteur de son œuvre.

 John Singer Sargent (1856–1925)

On view October 8, 2023–January 15, 2024

BOSTON (August 9, 2023) - John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) brought his sitters to life, but he did much more than simply record what appeared before him. He pinned and draped, he changed or ignored decorative details, and sometimes he simply made it up. Organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), and Tate Britain, Fashioned by Sargent explores the artist’s influence over his sitters’ images by illuminating the liberties he took with sartorial choices to express distinctive personalities, social positions, professions, gender identities and nationalities. The exhibition features approximately 50 paintings by Sargent—including major loans from museums and private collections around the world—along with more than a dozen dresses and accessories. Several of these garments are reunited for the first time with Sargent’s portraits of the sitters who once wore them. Through the lens of dress, Fashioned by Sargent presents exciting new scholarship and offers a new perspective on the artist’s creative practice.

Fashioned by Sargent is sponsored by Bank of America. Generously supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art, and Tom and Bonnie Rosse. Additional support from Lynn Dale and Frank Wisneski, the Barbara M. Eagle Exhibition Fund, the MFA Associates / MFA Senior Associates Exhibition Endowment Fund, the Dr. Lawrence H. and Roberta Cohn Fund for Exhibitions, and the Alexander M. Levine and Dr. Rosemarie D. Bria-Levine Exhibition Fund. Fashioned by Sargent is co-organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and the Tate Britain, London.

A major exhibition about the artists of the renowned Casablanca Art School

Tate St Ives will be the first museum in the UK to explore the intense period of artistic rebirth that followed Morocco’s independence, forged by the experimental teaching methods of the Casablanca Art School in the 1960s and 1970s.

Led by Farid Belkahia alongside Mohammed ChabâaMohamed Melehi and others, this pioneering school paved the way for a new generation of socially engaged modern artists who formed an influential avant-garde network.

Works by 22 artists will be brought together to demonstrate the wide variety of the Moroccan ‘new wave’, from vibrant abstract paintings and urban murals to applied arts, typography, graphics and interior design.

The exhibition will also include a selection of rarely-seen print archives, vintage journals, documentary photographs and films.

This exhibition is a collaboration between Tate St Ives and Sharjah Art Foundation, where it will open in February 2024. It is also part of a key moment of international research into the Casablanca Art School, which includes a collaborative project initiated in 2020 between KW Institute for Contemporary Art and Sharjah Art Foundation, in partnership with Goethe-Institut Marokko, ThinkArt and Zamân Books & Curating.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Tate St Ives, Their Majesties The King and Queen visited the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden today. They were given a tour of Hepworth’s studio and garden, which is cared for by Tate St Ives, and were introduced to several people who have played important roles in Tate St Ives’s success over the past 30 years.

The visit was hosted by Anne Barlow (Director of Tate St Ives) and Roland Rudd (Chair of Tate). Their Majesties began their visit in Hepworth’s beautiful studio space, filled with some of the artist’s most famous works in wood, bronze, marble and plaster. Dr Sophie Bowness (Barbara Hepworth’s granddaughter) introduced the history of the building, alongside Dame Jayne-Anne Gadhia (Trustee of Tate) and Sir Anthony Salz (Chair of Tate St Ives Advisory Council).

The King and Queen then had a tour of Hepworth’s garden and the many sculptures on display there. Head Gardener Jodi Dickinson, who began his career in horticulture thanks to the support of The Prince’s Trust, described how he has worked to restore the garden to its former glory. Together they planted a penstemon shrub to celebrate the royal visit, and Their Majesties were presented with a gift of some rare seeds from a cineraria which was originally planted by Hepworth herself.

THE MUSEO PICASSO MAGAGA COLLECTION IN DIALOGUE WITH THE EXHIBITION PICASSO SCULPTOR. MATTER AND BODY (28/04/2023)

Two of the galleries housing the collection of the Museo Picasso Málaga have been transformed for the upcoming opening of the Picasso Sculptor. Matter and Body exhibition. From this week onwards rooms IX and X will present Perpetual Metamorphosis, a selection of works by Picasso that establish a subtle dialogue with the exhibition. This display will remain in place until the show ends.

Devised by Michael FitzGerald, a professor of Fine Art at Trinity College in Hartford (United States), Perpetual Metamorphosis complements the Picasso Sculptor. Matter and Body exhibition due to open at the Museo Picasso Málaga on May 9 as part of the Picasso Celebration. 1973–2023 commemoration.

Rooms IX and X of the Palacio de Bellavista will display works illustrating the broad variety of forms in which Picasso explored the female body using a wide range of media: sculpture, painting, drawing and ceramics. For Picasso, the ancient rivalry between painting and sculpture was meaningless. The constant evolution of his ideas exploded traditional differences between media, as his art was in perpetual motion across painting, sculpture, drawing, and printmaking.
