  • Stuart Davis: In Full Swing

    Exhibition organized by the National Gallery of Art, Washington, and The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.

    Stuart Davis (1892–1964) was an American.

    The exhibition is unusual in its focus on Davis’s mature career and on his working method of using preexisting motifs as springboards for new compositions. From 1939 on, Davis rarely painted a work that did not make reference, however hidden, to one or more of his earlier compositions. Such “appropriation” is a distinctive aspect of his mature art.

  • In-visibilité Ostentatoire

    In-visibilité Ostentatoire Commissaire : Giscard Bouchotte.

    Mario Benjamin, Florine Demosthene, Maksaens Denis, Jean-Ulrick Désert, Edouard Duval-Carrie, Adler Guerrier, Sasha Huber, Manuel Mathieu, Ronald Mevs, Michelange Quay, Henry Roy

    L’exposition In-visibilité Ostentatoire, en référence aux silences assourdissants de l’Histoire, présente le travail d’une dizaine d’artistes qui explorent les non-dits sur des faits d’hier et d’aujourd’hui ou des événements que la mémoire a oublié ou choisi d’oublier. En relatant certains faits historiques passés sous silence à leur époque, elle évoque les mécanismes à l’oeuvre, les amnésies collectives ou les tabous sociaux qui influencent nos choix et nos silences. In-visibilité Ostentatoire donne aussi à voir le travail de certains artistes qui puisent leur inspiration dans le monde Invisible, celui des “mistè” (esprits) qui semblent tirer les ficelles de la réalité haïtienne. Ce monde invisible et son cohorte de croyances populaires est, pour nombre d’entre eux, une source d’inspiration. L’exposition explore l’”invisibilité ostentatoire” d’Haïti lors des grands rendez-vous internationaux, en insistant sur la visibilité de ce qui aurait dû être évident.
