Jean-Michel Wicker
BBiblioteca ffanafffantastica

Opening Thursday March 23, 2017 from 6 PM till 9 PM
Exhibition from March 24 to May 6, 2017

Jean-Michel Wicker’s exhibition BBiblioteca ffanafffantastica brings together several works involving the medium of print for which the artist has worked out a number of iterations, including fanzines, scrapbooks, antibooks, book-objects, and flyers. The display will also feature supports, both literal and figurative, that have something to do with books, and other elements that extend the gesture of consultation, reading and writing, even the function of storage. This includes bookcases, display stands, showcases, tables and chairs. Other objects or useful ordinary materials like electric wires, clothing, key rings, neon lights, lamps and tarps will be transformed, cobbled together, and combined with a wide range of supports in their usual and unsurprising form or reappropriated and put to other uses. Those supports include paper, cardboard, plastic, papier-mâché, and shells. (more…)

Winterling, Heimo Zobernig

Focus: Mélanie Matranga

Mélanie Matranga’s artistic approach is crossed by stories that infiltrate a production of objects, installations, films, and even pieces of furniture and reconstructions of interiors that are loaded with signifying signs, texts and images: drawings, photographs, prints, projections. These combined elements propose “situations” that interrogate intimacy and seem to be filled with sensations and residual feelings, receptacles where real life experience and imagination, the document and the scenario meet.

Artists’ Voices
Prolongation

Sound exhibition from December 11, 2015 till March 26, 2016
Opening Thursday December 10, 2015, 6 PM – 9 PM

Artists’ Voices assembles a group of sound pieces linked to the theme of the voice. The voice considered as a strong marker on the unconscious, a pre-language primal expression that is directly connected to emotions and is identifiable by a body of signs: tone, vibration, timbre, rhythm. The sound pieces are songs, declamations, monologues, a reading, a discourse, a dialogue, an echo, a whisper, a noise, a scream or breathing, up to the point of rupture, dysphonia, aphonia, silence, or even the return of sound and music.

Curators : Harry Burke and Marlie Mul

Presentation of the zine ground – first edition launched in 2018 ­– edited by Harry Burke (writer, critic, editor, and indepndant curator) amd Marlie Mul (artist, born in 1980 in Utrecht, lives and works in Berlin) with contributions by The Gate, Linda Stupart, Jean-Michel Wicker, Khairani Barokka, Reader’s Digestion, Sorryyoufeeluncomfortable et Marlie Mul.

“In collaboration with Centre d’edition contemporaine for artgenève, Harry Burke and Marlie Mul, the editors of ground, will curate a selection of prints and editions by artists featured in both their recently published first zine and in their forthcoming second publication. ground is an independently distributed zine that aims to look beyond institutions, in their current form, as the dominant spaces and frameworks in which to present and deal with artistic production, and instead explore grassroots political and aesthetic alternatives. The presentation at artgenève will highlight the ways that artists are using publishing and printmaking to achieve these aims, and will involve work by artists who are often underrepresented in international commercial presentations such as artgenève.” (Harry Burke)
