Daniel Dewar et Grégory Gicquel pratiquent la sculpture à quatre mains depuis 1998. Pour la HAB Galerie, ils réalisent un ensemble d'œuvre occupant l'espace, en marbre, dolérite, grès ou granit. Chacune de ses œuvres emprunte son imagerie à l'intimité du corps humain dans son quotidien, herculéen, vêtu dans son plus simple appareil, mais toujours réjouissant et sensuel. 00Exhibition: HAB Galerie, Nantes, France (01.07.-01.10.2017).
'The Absent Museum' is a large thematic exhibition that explores the absence of museums in public debates today. What relation can exist between historical awareness and aesthetic commitment? How can artists maintain the tension between globalisation's paradoxes and history's turbulences, and their individual sensibilities and voices? Works and new productions by around 49 artists - both contemporary and those active in the recent past - map what is at stake for museums and the societies that inspire them.
Ouvrage publié à l'occasion de la remise du Prix Marcel Duchamp 2012 par la DIAF, Association pour la Diffusion Internationale de l'Art Français, à Dewar et Gicquel, et de leur exposition à l'Espace 315, Centre Pompidou, Paris, du 25 septembre 2013 au 6 janvier 2014.
A foreword by museum director and exhibition curator Marc-Olivier Wahler discusses the contemporary art exhibition The Transported Man within the framework of a teleportation magic trick described in Christopher Priest's 1995 novel The Prestige. Included is an interview between Wahler and France-based curator Christophe Kihm addressing how the brain reacts when interpreting an artwork, the language with which to approach art, and how these impact the future of museums and art exhibitions. Pairing the exhibition objectives with methods of illusion, an original essay by Christopher Priest, and a text by Francis Ponge, the book provides insight into the importance of belief and the nature of visual perception.
