Simon Hantaï, Centre Pompidou, Beaubourg, Paris

Simon Hantaï

Centre Pompidou, Paris

22 mai - 2 septembre 2013

Le Centre Pompidou rassemble pour la première fois l’oeuvre de l’un des plus grands peintres de la seconde moitié du XXème siècle, figure magistrale de l’abstraction : Simon Hantaï. Cinq ans après la disparition de l’artiste, le Centre Pompidou consacre à l’oeuvre de Simon Hantaï une exposition inédite – la première depuis plus de trente-cinq ans. A travers plus de 130 peintures créées à partir de 1949 jusqu’aux années 1990, cette exposition sans précédent par son ampleur et son caractère rétrospectif, témoigne de l’importance et de la richesse foisonnante d’une oeuvre aujourd’hui internationalement reconnue.

La dernière rétrospective consacrée à l’oeuvre de Simon Hantaï avait eu lieu en 1976 au Musée national d’art moderne quelques mois avant son transfert au Centre Pompidou. Depuis, Simon Hantaï avait été invité dans de nombreux musées en France, ainsi qu’en Allemagne et à la Biennale de Venise dans le pavillon français (1982), mais les occasions de voir son oeuvre sont ensuite devenues extrêmement rares. Simon Hantaï s’est alors volontairement retiré du monde de l’art, se refusant à exposer sauf en d’exceptionnelles occasions, jusqu’à son décès en 2008.

Surtout connu pour ce que l’artiste nomme « le pliage comme méthode », initié en 1960, l’oeuvre de Simon Hantaï se déroule en moments successifs d’une étonnante diversité. L’exposition s’ouvre sur les premières années de création qui suivent son arrivée en France et offre une lecture chronologique de son parcours artistique dès les années 1950 : des toiles surréalistes, telle Femelle Miroir,1953, aux peintures gestuelles, telle Sexe-Prime, Hommage à Jean-Pierre Brisset, 1955, des peintures de signe, comme Souvenir de l’avenir, 1957, à celles constituées de petites touches, cette époque s’achève avec les peintures d’écriture. Cette première phase, largement méconnue, culmine avec deux chefs-d’oeuvre de 1958-59 réunis pour la première fois : Écriture Rose et À Galla Placidia.

A partir de 1960, avec la suite des Mariales, Simon Hantaï peint « en aveugle » une surface préalablement pliée en la recouvrant de couleurs : « Cette fois la couleur est le mode principal [...]. La lumière a l’air de venir dans la couleur de par derrière, sur le mode d’un vitrail. En vérité, la couleur est la lumière » (Dominique Fourcade). Dès lors chaque série de peintures va faire appel à cette méthode selon des modes très différenciés : Catamurons, 1963, Panses, 1964-1965, Meuns, 1967-1968, Études, 1969, Blancs, 1973-1974, Tabulas, 1973-1982 enfin, permettront à Simon Hantaï d’élaborer et de renouveler des compositions formelles et inédites, souvent de grand format. C’est alors qu’il s’affirme comme l’un des plus grands coloristes de son temps. L’oeuvre de Hantaï est à cette époque très présente sur la scène française et a un fort impact sur les générations de peintres plus jeunes. Suivra une longue absence, ponctuée de rares événements comme une nouvelle suite d’oeuvres, les Laissées, qui verra le jour dans les années 1990. On y voit Simon Hantaï découper de grandes Tabulas des années 1980 et en extraire des fragments qui deviennent à leur tour des oeuvres à part entière. S’achevant sur cette série, l’exposition constitue l’extraordinaire redécouverte d’un peintre éblouissant qui compte parmi les figures les plus importantes de la seconde moitié du XXème siècle.

Leonard Maltin Recommends Collection of Movies introduces by Kaleidescape

Kaleidescape has partnered with american film critic Leonard Maltin to curate a compilation of historically significant films, and modern movies. Available exclusively from Kaleidescape, the Leonard Maltin Recommends collection assists in the creation of home cinema experience by identifying great films to add to your collection of movies.  Leonard Maltin Recommends collection was introduced by Kaleidescape at CEDIA 2012 (September 6-8 in Indianapolis, USA).

Leonard Maltin, noted film critic and historian, is the editor of the long-running and influential reference Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide and the companion volume, Leonard Maltin's Classic Movie Guide. He currently hosts the weekly ReelzChannel television show Maltin on Movies, and teaches at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts.

Kaleidescape is producing exclusive video commentary in which Leonard Maltin will share his thoughts, personal anecdotes, and behind-the-scenes tidbits about each movie in the collection. Additional commentary will be added weekly, and the videos can be viewed on the Kaleidescape website.

"Living in a Big Way was one of Gene Kelly's rare commercial flops, but I selected it because it contains two of the most entertaining musical numbers he ever put on film," said Leonard Maltin. "These pearly gems are rescued by Kaleidescape's video bookmarks because you can simply select 'Fido and Me' or 'Playground Medley' to skip directly to the beginning of these innovative dances."

Leonard Maltin Recommends is available on DVD (26 titles) and Blu-ray Disc (17 titles) at suggested retail prices of $545 and $445 respectively. Additional titles will be added to the collection quarterly.

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, Kaleidescape sells its movie servers through custom audio and video installers throughout the world. For more information, visit www.kaleidescape.com

Hidden Islam - Islamic makeshift places of worship in north - east Italy, photographs and slide show (2009-11)

Courtesy of the artist

The artists Selma Alaçam (born 1980, lives and works in Karlsruhe, Germany) and Nicolò Degiorgis (born 1985, lives and works in Bolzano, Italy) analyse within their work the crucial subject matter of the relationship between Islamic culture and contemporary Western culture as it exists in Europe. How informed is mainstream public opinion in Europe about Islamic immigration to the European continent, and about the perspectives on integration of the people who actually come from Muslim countries? Moving from the particular matters of their own cultural perspective, Alaçam and Degiorgis develop individual strategies for their artistic research, with both following the common goal of emphasizing a wide range of elements which are suppressed within the public debate in Europe. In this way, both artists contribute to an increasingly complex and articulated reflection on the subject matter which they deal with.

NICOLO DEGIORGIS

Nicolò Degiorgis

Hidden Islam - Islamic makeshift places of worship in north - east Italy, photographs and slide show (2009-11)

Courtesy of the artist

Hidden Islam (2009-2011) is a photographic project by NICOLO DEGIORGIS, an investigation of Muslim prayer rooms spread all over Northern Italy. Degiorgis' work began as participation within a research project on the instruments and methods of multicultural integration conducted by the University of Trieste. Degiorgis took photographs of the improvised prayer rooms in which the Muslims in contemporary Italy exercise their faith, i.e. spaces found at the outskirts of big cities, abandoned and precarious locations such as former garages and industrial buildings. The photographic selection chosen by the artist connects specific private and cultual details of Islamic religiosity with images that document the diasporic nature of Italian Islam during recent years. Here, precariousness and decline become characteristics of survival, as the iconic signs of an anonymous and hostile metropolitan area. Thus, Degiorgis shows photographic images that are configured much like complex texts, in which the nullification of the architectural and urbanist context of the periphery of Italian cities appears to be subjected to the possible sense of relief determined by the rise of a different and migratory culture – such as the Islamic culture – which nowadays is present across the entire national territory. These images are consistently framed by liturgical scenes of prayers conducted within the places photographed. Breaks of light and improvised details of the image narrate the physical presence of the prayer, the moment of unification and consistency of the collective history of the Muslim communities in Italy. In this way, Hidden Islam traces another complex and problematic picture of contemporary Italy, and reveals the difficulties of this country to conceive itself as a contemporary society that has completely developed a sense of civil progress. 

SELMA ALACAM

Selma Alaçam

Istiklal Marsi / Turkish National Anthem (2010)

DVD loop; 4:28 min

The work of SELMA ALACAM is focused on the question of identity. Within her work, the artist analyses in many ways her relationship to her own history as a dual citizen of Germany and Turkey who has grown up in Germany according to the educational models of Islam. Using family documents, ready-mades and self portraits, the artist employs a range of conceptual instruments that deal with a sort of reflection, not far removed from feminism, on the role of identity and social history.

Isolated and Protected (2009) is a video installation consisting of seven monitors on which the artist shows domestic scenes of Turkish Muslim families in Germany. Nonetheless, the visibility of the screen is obstructed by patterns on a curtain which veils the screen. The decorative patterns follow the Arabic tradition of applying them on the outside of windows of private homes in order to protect the residents from being visible to onlookers outdoors. The spectator therefore has only limited and partial access to what is happening, an interrupted visibility that “isolates and protects” the image from the gaze of strangers. In this way it is also a symbol of the complex system of communication and cultural exchange between Western and the Islamic societies in contemporary Europe. 

The video work Haare (2009) also intervenes with a similar aspect, with the artist here showing herself as she combs her hair. At the end she puts a wig on her head which is identical to her own hair. The scene shows a strategy used by many young Turkish women in order to remain loyal to Islamic interdict (which forbids women to show their own hair) while at the same time refusing to abandon the ambition to dress up. The gesture of the artist alludes in this way – quite ambiguously and without direct comment – to a possible modernisation inside Islam as it exists in Europe, and to a young generation of Muslims that are challenged to re-conceive the rules of their own religion in order to participate in Western life.

Istiklal Marsi / Turkish National Anthem (2010)

DVD loop; 4:28 min.

source: YouTube

Courtesy of the artist

The video work Turkish National Anthem (2010) shows the political sensibility of the artist. It consists of video fragments the artist downloaded from YouTube which display some Turkish children in various private and public contexts while they sing with great emphasis and emotion the national anthem of their country. Left with no comments or alterations, the work provokes a restless sense of discomfort and unease in the spectator, because the national anthem appears as an aggressive instrument, a model of division between those who can identify themselves with it and those who are excluded.

Le mystère de la tête d'Henry IV. Une enquête historique en DVD video.

LE MYSTERE DE LA TETE D'

HENRI IV

In Search of the King's Head

Le DVD vidéo retrace l'enquête historique qui a permis de retrouver la tête momifiée du roi Henry IV volée en 1793. Un film documentaire de Pierre BELET et Stéphane GABET. 

Sortie nationale le 6 avril 2011. En vente dans les librairies Rmn-Grand Palais depuis aujourd'hui. Une coédition éditions de la Rmn et du Grand Palais / FTD.

Henri IV assassiné par Ravaillac en 1610, tout le monde connaît cette histoire… Sans doute aussi le croit-on encore enfoui comme tous les rois de France à la Basilique de Saint-Denis, la nécropole des rois de France… Et pourtant, sa tête disparaît un jour de 1793. Depuis, l’énigme de la présumée tête momifiée d’Henri IV n’a jamais été résolue. Volée durant la Révolution française, elle serait réapparue dans une salle des ventes parisienne au début du XXe siècle avant de disparaitre à nouveau durant cinquante ans. Aujourd’hui, cette relique a été retrouvée.  

Pendant deux années, les journalistes et documentaristes Stéphane Gabet et Pierre Belet, avec l’aide du Dr Philippe Charlier, médecin légiste, ont mené une enquête qui a permis de retrouver la trace de cette présumée tête. Et le 15 décembre 2010, le British Medical Journal publie son authentification formelle (après une étude menée par 19 scientifiques sous la direction du Dr Charlier). Le documentaire nous entraîne, pas à pas, dans une enquête passionnante sur les traces du voleur. Et de découvertes inattendues en révélations, il livre certains secrets de l’Histoire en levant le voile sur la dernière momie de France. 

Les auteurs Pierre Belet et Stéphane Gabet collaborent tous deux à l’émission Secrets d’Histoire sur France 2. Ils ont, chacun, réalisé de nombreux  reportages pour la chaîne Voyage, des films-documentaires et aussi de nombreux sujets pour différentes émissions (Envoyé Spécial, Thalassa…)
