Musée d'Orsay, Paris
Du mardi 24 septembre au jeudi 2 janvier 2014 Alors que le nu féminin s’expose aussi régulièrement que naturellement, le corps masculin n’a pas eu la même faveur. Qu’aucune exposition ne se soit donné pour objet de remettre en perspective la représentation de l’homme nu sur une longue période de l’histoire avant le Leopold Museum de Vienne à l’automne 2012 est plus que significatif. Pourtant, la nudité masculine était pendant longtemps au fondement de la formation académique du XVIIe au XIXe siècles et constitue une ligne de force de la création en Occident. (…)

The Mattress Factory Art Museum, Pittsburgh, USA
Du 12 septembre 2013 au 31 mai 2014 The site-specific installation of new works by Shiota will fill the eight rooms in the building at 516 Sampsonia Way—a 19th-century row home with a storied past—which is suited to the artist’s work. Its interior is cosmetically untouched; the raw condition of the building lends itself well to reflections on the past and the conjuring of memories. Learn more about 516 Sampsonia Way from former tenant Richard Morris. (…)

San Jose Museum of Art, San Jose, USA
Du 6 septembre 2013 au 20 avril 2014 Food punctuates daily life and shapes family traditions. It is a manifestation of commonality and culture. Your childhood may have been nurtured by food memories—of meals and mealtimes, of abundance or want, of family roles and rituals. We each may take our small comforts from Wonder Bread, roti, pita, tortillas, challah, injera, or bánh….(…)
Museum der Moderne, Mönchsberg, Salzbourg, Autriche
Du samedi 27 juillet au dimanche 27 octobre 2013 The comprehensive exhibition Flowers & Mushrooms presents current positions of contemporary representations of flowers and mushrooms and their newly developing levels of meaning. For some time now, there has been a renaissance of flowers and mushroom themes in fine art. The works of leading « portraitists » of flowers and mushrooms, such as Peter Fischli/David Weiss, David LaChapelle, Marc Quinn, Sylvie Fleury, Nobuyoshi Araki or Carsten Höller, continue the multi-faceted and long pictorial tradition of flowers, which is unparalleled in the history of art. At the same time no other motif is so easily suspected of trivialism. The question arises of how a subject that is frequently accused of being trivial and shallow has been able to gain ground in a field of art that is generally regarded as serious and sophisticated. The picture of a flower is too easily associated with the idea of harmless beauty and the mushroom with cliché-like hallucinogenic states of conscousness. Nevertheless many artists increasingly adopt these motifs, adapt them and find individual ways to put them into the context of sociocritical, feminist, political and media-reflexive art. (…)
The Museum of Art, Kochi, Japon
Du dimanche 7 juillet au lundi 23 septembre 2013 Our next exhibition will feature new works by Chiharu Shiota, an artist who is the focus of attention in art circles all over the world. Born in Osaka, Chiharu Shiota is currently based in Berlin, Germany. Deemed a young artistic master with artworks of epic proportions, she actively creates new works in various countries, and her next move constantly attracts much attention. Her roots lie in Kochi’s Ogata Town (current Kuroshio Town)—her parents’ hometown—and her memories of the many childhood summers spent here were the catalyst for her creation of art. (…)

Boise Art Museum, Boise, USA
Du samedi 22 juin au dimanche 27 octobre 2013 One of the most significant young artists today, Kehinde Wiley (American, b. 1977) is known for his vibrant, large-scale paintings of black urban men rendered in the self-confident, empowered poses typical of classical European portrait painting. The World Stage: Israel is part of the artist’s series exploring the global black diaspora and the international phenomenon of urban youth culture. Paintings in The World Stage: Israel are based on photographs the artist took of men of diverse religions and ethnicities living in Israel. The elaborate decorative backgrounds are based on historical Jewish designs and motifs. The portraits are complemented by a selection of Jewish textiles and works on paper, loaned by Ahavath Beth Israel synagogue in Boise, to provide examples of the types of traditional artifacts that inspired Wiley, including Torah ark curtains and a marriage contract.
