Ephemeral installation
Villa Seynave, domaine de Beauvallon, Grimaud, France
A beautiful installation of Claude Viallat can be seen at Villa Seynave in Grimaud, France. Commissioned by a Lorraine industrialist who appreciated the architecture of another villa by Jean Prouvé at Lavandou, this holiday “bungalow” is built on the edge of the Beauvallon golf course. It is the beautiful result of a great teamwork between engineer Jean Prouvé and architect Neil Hutchinson.
THE PUSHKIN STATE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, MOSCOW, RUSSIAFrom 01/10/2019 to 15/11/2019
The exhibition “East West Jazz” displays over 30 unique robes and textiles from Alexander Klyachin’s collection and over two dozens of post-war abstract paintings from the collection of the Gandur Foundation for Art. The scope of the exhibition is widened by works from the collections of The Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts and the Centre Pompidou to further reveal the interaction between Eastern and Western cultures, notably 14 rarely displayed sheets from Henri Matisse’s “jazz” graphic series created in 1947 and works by Kandinsky from the Pushkin Museum collection and 14 abstract works from the Centre Pompidou and French private collections. This exhibition will be philosophical, emotional and contemplative, rather than didactic.
CENTRE D'ART CONTEMPORAIN LA HALLE BOUCHERS - VIENNE, FRANCE From 14/06/2019 to 18/08/2019
Claude Viallat is a confirmed artist, one of the very first French artists of his generation, but his work finds today a very contemporary resonance as the ecological consciousness develops, the return to practices and craft techniques, to a know-how that is a way of resisting hyper mechanization, technological development, digital dematerialization and the reversal of man’s position in his environment. The unseemly part that we perceive in Claude Viallat’s work, this impertinence sought in support, form or color, this unexpected, this unfinished, this precariousness, has the character of an absolute youth.
VENET FOUNDATION - LE MUY, FRANCE From 13/06/2019 to 13/09/2019
Curated by Alexandre Devals, director of the foundation, “Claude Viallat – Unleashing the color” presents some twenty works of Claude Viallat large format carried on military tarpaulins, a series started in the late 1970s that extends until the last years. The heart of the exhibition is the works shown in 1980 at CAPC de Bordeaux, a major and pivotal exhibition in Viallat’s work through the use of a dense support, the exploration of polychrome and the cutting of the canvas in colour charts. This exhibition marked a turning point in Viallat’s practice and consecrated him as one of the greatest colourists of his time
FESTIVAL CROISEMENT, BEIJING, CHINA From 21/05/2019 to 20/08/2019
As part of the Croisements 2019 Festival organized by the French Institute in Beijing, the Meymac Center for Contemporary Art presents the first exhibition of the Supports / Surfaces movement in China. This group of artists, who emerged in France in the mid-1960s, revolutionized the visual arts through a new use of materials. Their project: to free the pictorial art from the historical and cultural straitjacket represented by the canvas.
LE CONSORTIUM, DIJON, FRANCEFrom 16/05/2019 to 20/10/2019
Le Consortium examines in this large group exhibition the “Pattern & Decoration” movement, formed in the 1970s and that enjoyed international success in the 1980s. Most of the artists involved were reacting against the dominance of abstract schools in the Post-War era, with a particular opposition to Minimal and Conceptual art. The group organized around “pattern and decoration” reconnected with what was widely perceived as “minor” art forms and asserted decoration as the true repressed of modernity. The exhibition, co-organized with MAMCO in Geneva, also includes several pieces by artists associated with the Supports/Surfaces group: Noël Dolla and Claude Viallat.
FRAC GRAND LARGE - HAUTS DE FRANCE, DUNKERQUE, FRANCEFrom 4/05/2019 to 5/01/2020
GIGANTISM – ART & INDUSTRIE is an original collective initiative on the territory of Hauts-de-France, in Dunkerque: the creation of a new triennial art and design in Europe.
From May 4, 2019, an exhibition of off-scale installations created for the occasion, of in situ works, sculptures, paintings, films and performances will embody encounters between artists, engineers, designers and architects. It will unfold on different exhibition venues and urban and port sites. An original journey that rethinks at the level of the landscape of Dunkerque a history of European modernity from 1947 to the present day; between living heritage and contemporary creation.
