Pol Quadens, sublimating matter: from beautiful objects to sculptures.

As a tireless aesthete, Pol Quadens draws the features of a world where the “commodity”, a fetish of transactional ugliness, would have escaped, ousted by the beauty of the object. As Kant wrote to establish the limits of extensive commodification, “Everything has either a price or a dignity”, Pol Quadens would perhaps say “either a price or a beauty”. Sublimating matter is an impulse that comes from childhood, a way of registering with the world, becoming a man, in transmitting a pride in designing and manufacturing beautiful objects that are irreducible to their function. Born in 1960 in Brussels, he develops a body of work whose outcome reconciles design and art.

From Château La Coste to the island of Naoshima, Tadao Ando's architectural design for exceptional artistic areas.

For art lovers, destinations offering both an exceptional environment and open-air museums are a real delight for an esthete looking for escapades to encounter spectacular works and architecture. From nearby Provence to the distant Japanese islands, let's visit two estates which have established themselves as essential artistic stops: Château La Coste, a wine estate in the foothills of the Luberon, and Naoshima, an island in the Seto Inland Sea in Japan. The link between the two? The architecture of Tadao Ando, ​​Pritzker Prize 1995, whose purity poses a unique way of inserting the built into landscapes and capturing the light, to create the design of art places offering visual and sensory experiences unpublished.

Geronimo, art between humanism and flamboyance

Geronimo aka Jumping Bull sees life in black and white, maybe that's why his existence is so colorful. Achromatopsia reduces his field of vision to shades of gray, the colors only exist in his memory and yet the character is flamboyant: his career and his resolutely iconoclastic art do not fit well with the conventions and closed reasons he follows. employs to shake up not without panache. However, it would be misunderstanding Geronimo to reduce him to the rock spirit and the stage lights that inspire a major part of his work: behind the scenes, the artist is interested in behind the scenes, in the invisible and to the left behind whom he honors in some of his works and for whom he engages in charitable projects. It must be said that he himself experienced both glory and abandonment, deviations from the road and “on the road again”: an intensity of existence in all its dimensions. It is indeed in prison, and he assumes it all the more so as the continuation of his course earned him a rehabilitation, that he approached artistic practice to channel his energy. Initially, canvases, technical tests and many portraits, canvases hung in his home without his assuming authorship and which very quickly aroused enthusiasm.

The 2022 Venice Biennale, an exciting and committed 59th edition

The 59th edition of the Venice Biennale is held from April 23 until November 29, celebrating 127 years of existence. After a one-year postponement linked to the pandemic, we are delighted to rediscover the artistic effervescence of the largest and most prestigious global event around contemporary art. Cecilia Alemani is the commissioner, under the chairmanship of Roberto Cicutto. The first edition of the Venice Art Biennale was initiated by the city council of the city in honor of the 25th anniversary of the marriage of King Humbert 1 and Margaret of Savoy. It was held from April to October 1895, with already, at the time, prizes awarded to reward artists. For the occasion, the mayor had commissioned a building in the Giardini, on which several architects worked, a building soon completed by the national pavilions established over time, drawing a plural architecture. Since 1999, the old rope factory of the Arsenale has become a new complementary exhibition space at the Giardini.

The Fragments of Steph.Cop: a polysemy of the Cube.

Steph Cop places his artistic research immersed in the ecosystem of the Morvan where he has set up his workshop. Sculpture is part of a life cycle whose extent the artist explores. By sculpting fallen trees, he prolongs their destiny in figures that perpetuate memorial history. In the deployment of his work, the Fragments are a sculpted series that hold a very special place. Interlude? Transition between two movements? A sequence of sculpture as an artistic moment in suspense which marks the end of the ARO cycle embodied in the IX movement and the momentum towards a new creative dynamic, the momentum towards the monumental.
