The starting point of this project resides in a reflection on contemporary narratives in photographic creation on the one and ; and the myth that surrounds the hotel La Louisiane on the other hand. PhotoSaintGermain invited ten artists to take over a hotel room for four days. In the continuity of the creative energy that springs from the hotel La Louisiane — known for its tradition of welcoming artists since the 1930s —, PhotoSaintGermain presents an intertwining of several curations, related to the image and its use — between performance, exhibition, and publication.

« Depuis que l’humanité fabrique des outils, elle les conçoit à l’image de notre corps. Ils la complète, en accentuant son efficacité, sa puissance, sa précision ou sa vitesse. La structure même de la machine est fondamentalement organique : une énergie est transformée par un réseau complexe de circuits, de fluides, d’émetteurs et de récepteurs (sang ou graisse, nerfs ou câbles, muscles ou rouages). Pourtant il semble qu’à mesure de son perfectionnement et de la diversification de ses actions, frontières et influences mutuelles se troublent et se chevauchent. […] Corpus Machina réunit douze photographes qui interrogent la nature et les causes de ces porosités à travers un médium lui-même en conflit perpétuel entre sa nature mécanique et sa portée émotionnelle : la photographie. Réunis dans les espaces du Consulat Voltaire, les travaux de ces photographes forment un corpus qui refuse la frontière et s’ouvre à la richesse du trouble. Entre le froid du métal et la chaleur d’une peau résonne la construction des désirs, des peurs et des fantasmes qui définissent les nouveaux enjeux de nos rapports au monde et à la technique. »

Une partie du bureau des penseur.euses de POUSH s’est réunie pour imaginer sous la Coupole There is no lonesome wave, une exposition collective sur l’eau, ses courants et ses propriétés au sens propre comme au figuré. Un sujet depuis longtemps exploré par les curatrices Justine Daquin, Elena Posokhova, Lê Thiên Bảo et Claire Luna. 

En archipel, c’est notre modus operandi curatorial. Il s’agit d’une proposition de co-commissariat singulière qui emprunte son principe archipélique à la pensée de Glissant. Une partie du bureau des penseur.euses de POUSH s’est réunie pour imaginer sous la coupole There is no lonesome wave, une exposition collective sur l’eau, ses courants et ses propriétés au sens propre comme au figuré. Un sujet depuis longtemps exploré par les curatrices Justine Daquin, Elena Posokhova, Lê Thiên Bảo et Claire Luna.

À Marée basse de Lê Thiên Bảo s’inspire des rituels de marée pratiqués en Asie de l’est et du sud-est. Elena Posokhova propose I landed, une observation du pouvoir de l’eau Méditerranéenne sur l’imaginaire de ses habitant.es. Et si Shapeshifters de Justine Daquin convoque l’eau comme un portail vers des métamorphoses et d’autres possibles, avec Irrésistible, Claire Luna sonde sa capacité d’infiltration, comme une stratégie de résistance ou de lutte.

Comme des îles au sein d’un archipel, les quatre propositions peuvent se rencontrer par endroits, s’achopper à d’autres. La géométrie est variable et les îles flottantes. Jusque là, le co-commissariat s’est toujours vu fondu en un seul texte, en une forme fusion. Ici, les curatrices croiseront leur regard situé en polyphonie.

Through touch, image, smell and sound, the COME ALIVE artists pull out all the stops to make our bodies the first and most important gatekeepers. The physical experience helps us to unlearn ingrained behavior and to admit new knowledge, allowing us to look at ourselves and others through new lenses. With local residents from multicultural neighborhoods in Utrecht, we break through culturally shaped walls. Eroticism as a life force belongs to everyone.

FACT FICTION FANTASY

The Peckham 24 team are delighted to announce that the 3 day festival will return to Copeland Park and Bussey Building from Friday 13th to Sunday 15th May 2022.  Peckham 24 presents a dynamic programme of exhibitions and events during Photo London Week, with a mission to shine a spotlight on young and experimental artists working with contemporary photography. 

This year’s festival is curated on the theme of FACT FICTION FANTASY.  The artistic programme will explore photography’s relationship to truth, investigation and imagination through the work of artists who blur the lines between the real, the fictional and the fantastical.

To celebrate the launch of the artist edition Photosphere by Margarita Gluzberg, HI-NOON are delighted to present the exhibition ATMOSPHERES at Photo London 2022.

Margarita Gluzberg’s edition Photoshere, an exquisit silver bromide print individually hand tinted with pencils from the 1950s, proposes the idea of time travel via the photographic lens and the resurrection of materials from another era.

To celebrate this new work HI-NOON has curated an exhibition that explores artist’s spheres in photography.

The selection of spheres in the exhibition encompasses revolutionary moments and monuments, moods and memories, deep shadows and reflections, particulates, bubbles and lenses, planets and worlds beyond.

Many of the artists draw on autobiographical elements to investigate questions of identity and the self. There is evidence of a complex interplay of interiority and exteriority, threading the weight of the emotional and psychological into the physical realm, with a consideration of material space and the corporeality of the body. The material presence and tactility of the artwork is a key concern for several artists in the show, bringing the photographic medium into three-dimensional space, for example, or utilising a handmade multi-surfaced aesthetic.

A shared sense of humour and a lightness of touch characterise these artists’ collective approaches. Narratives are hinted at, backstories emerge and fade, conclusions are never quite reached. These are worlds seen through a female gaze – one imbued with a fierce awareness of the cultural legacy left by the dominance of the male viewpoint. Meeting head-on the complicated relationships between voyeurism and expressions of female sexuality, Damned If I Do embraces the power of sensuality and opens up the possibilities of a new way of looking.

Damned If I Do

Curated by Arianne Hughes


 

 

IMG_7680IMG_7680

 

Damned if I do; damned if I don’t. A paradox of daily existence surrounding the haunted doublings that emerge from society’s double standards. The virgin-whore, the untouchable priestess, the innocent temptress. A series of female archetypes, their potential power held in check by social conditions.

The exhibition Damned If I Do challenges the social straightjacketing of the patriarchal system, bringing together work across a range of media by a group of women artists exploring the female experience, the body, and the gaze. The artists challenge and subvert the hypersexualisation of the female body in Western culture, looking to undermine problematic art historical tropes and traditions surrounding the female nude.

Across the show, body parts melt together in visceral assemblages. Masked lovers gaze into surreal reflections. A half-eaten apple is held to an open mouth. Fingers intimately grasp the inner folds of an ear. Damned If I Do is both expression and interrogation of a distinctly feminine visual vernacular, binding these artists together while leaving space for individual concerns and approaches.

A rich vein of folklore, religion, and mythology is woven throughout the exhibition. Dreamscapes emerge replete with symbolism and surreal imagery, pointing to the importance of worldmaking and the re-telling of stories to address ingrained gendered imbalances. The role of organised religion is hinted at in the titular evocation of damnation, as well as in visual references to the crucifix, occult symbols, and the rapture.

Many of the artists draw on autobiographical elements to investigate questions of identity and the self. There is evidence of a complex interplay of interiority and exteriority, threading the weight of the emotional and psychological into the physical realm, with a consideration of material space and the corporeality of the body. The material presence and tactility of the artwork is a key concern for several artists in the show, bringing the photographic medium into three-dimensional space, for example, or utilising a handmade multi-surfaced aesthetic.

A shared sense of humour and a lightness of touch characterise these artists’ collective approaches. Narratives are hinted at, backstories emerge and fade, conclusions are never quite reached. These are worlds seen through a female gaze – one imbued with a fierce awareness of the cultural legacy left by the dominance of the male viewpoint. Meeting head-on the complicated relationships between voyeurism and expressions of female sexuality, Damned If I Do embraces the power of sensuality and opens up the possibilities of a new way of looking.

Sorsi di sale is Alix Marie’s first solo show at Ncontemporary in Milan. The exhibition brings together works created between 2019 and 2021, never exhibited before in Italy.

Central to the solo show at Ncontemporary are some pieces from Marie’s latest body of work Styx, which was presented for the first time in 2021 as part of the artist’s solo exhibition at the National Center For Photography in Ballarat, Australia. The project, commissioned by Photoworks UK and the Ballarat Foto Biennale, explores the artist’s interest in water deities and the relationship between the body and its representation, through an expansive idea of photography.

Styx is a Greek deity who represents the boundary between the earth and the afterlife. The goddess is presented in its human form in a video performance starring Nina Boukhrief, a longtime collaborator of the artist. Alongside the video installation, which occupies the space of the gallery’s project room, a wearable sculpture and a sound work are exhibited for the first time on this occasion.

Together with the works from Styx, the artist presents a series of works produced in 2019, on the occasion of her solo exhibition at the Musee des Beaux Arts Le Locle (MBAL), in Switzerland. The central focus of these sculptural works is the figure of the siren; the dangerous maneater creature from Greek mythology and its evolution towards the Northern European folkloric hybrid of the mermaid, archetype of a femininity submissive to love.

30 female-identifying artists from 20 different countries diversely explore the female gaze in this exhibition centered on the naked body in contemporary photography.

NUDE is a collection of images that portray the body through beautiful, disruptive, and experimental lenses, seeking to subvert the historically predominant male gaze and celebrate the human form.

NUDE addresses the centuries-long fascination with the naked body, and explores the balance between “the nude” as an idealized form versus an honest, natural, and personal artistic expression. In this exhibition of over 200 works of photography, film, and installation, the viewer receives a comprehensive global view of what the body means, how it is used, and what it tells us about modern society from a female perspective.

Picturing the human body as it really is – that is not as obvious as it might seem. For centuries we have idealized our own and other people’s appearance. Nowadays we do it with Photoshop, plastic surgery and filters on social media. In the seventeenth century they idealized the way people looked in works of art. Rembrandt, however, did not. He looked at others – and himself – with an open and curious gaze, and often depicted people with the utmost realism. In the group show RAW, Rembrandt’s etchings introduce the work of thirteen contemporary artists.
The show revolves around works by Melanie Bonajo, Marlene Dumas, Alix Marie, Buhlebezwe Siwani, Alex Farrar, Rineke Dijkstra, Paul Kooiker, Shannon Finnegan, Milan Gies, Jeroen Schokkin, Verena Blok, Aline Thomassen and Natasja Kensmil.

All the artists in this exhibition give a realistic view of the human body, its natural functions and the way we present ourselves to the outside world. A welcome and sobering alternative to the prevailing ideal image. The artworks are sometimes vulnerable, sometimes powerful, sometimes confrontational, but always raw.

The Rembrandt House Museum is also organizing a number of inspiring events in the context of RAW. The programme includes the talk show and podcast RembrandtLIVE: Self-Image in Times of Social Media, a series of workshops at MK24, online lectures in collaboration with the Vrije Academie, an exclusive guided tour and studio visits in association with the Young Collectors Circle and a networking day for art students. We also have a special partnership with We Like Art!, with whom we have made two exclusive RAW art editions, in cooperation with artists Alix Marie and Aline Thomassen. 

RAW has been made possible in part thanks to the support of the Mondriaanfonds. RAW runs from 21 January to 22 May 2022 in the Rembrandt House Museum, Amsterdam.

Photoworks and Ballarat International Foto Biennale announce a partnership and will present the latest project by artist Alix Marie. The solo exhibition will open in Ballarat in August 2021 as part of Ballarat International Foto Biennale.

In this new body of work titled Styx, Marie explores further her interest of water deities, and the intersection between the body, its representation, and an expansive idea of photography. The ancient myth of Styx, a Greek Oceanid representing the boundary between the Earth and the Underworld is the departing point.
In the first room, the artist will create an immersive installation making use of found X-Ray images transferred to large translucent fabrics using the cyanotype procedure, a technique that is intrinsically linked to water.

In a second room, Styx will take on the human form, in a projection where the deity is embodied by the performer and Marie’s long-term collaborator Nina Boukhrief. The only attire the goddess fashions is a set of hand-crafted copper wings, connecting with Ballarat’s own history of the gold rush.

With this original interdisciplinary installation, Marie explores the fragility of the body and of the contemporary world.

Styx will be on display at the National Centre For Photography in Ballarat, Australia, until january 2022. Alongside the exhibition, Marie will participate of the Ballarat International Foto Biennale’s associated programme, and it will be announced on Photoworks channels soon.

With a focus on the human body in contemporary photography, NUDE presents works by 30 female artists from 20 different countries around the world.

The human body, naked. In the exhibition, it is presented from various beautiful, subversive and experimental perspectives with the aim of challenging the traditionally dominant male gaze in a tribute to the human body in all its forms. NUDE is a commentary on, and reflection on, art history's traditional fascination with the naked (often female) body. The balance and spaces between “nudity” as a purely aesthetic motif versus a sincere, natural and personal artistic expression are explored through 30 different art forms. The exhibition, which consists of over 200 photos, films and installations, provides a multifaceted picture of the body's significance in modern times, how it is used and what it can tell us from a global and female perspective.

Alix Marie & Yushi Li:
Postures & Posers

Curated by Hi-Noon
15th-30th May 2021 @ Filet Gallery, London.


Building on Marianne Wex’s encyclopedic project Let’s Take Back Our Space: ‘Female’ and ‘Male’ Body Language as a Result of Patriarchal Structures, Alix Marie’s & Yushi Li’s photographic works come together to further provoke the binary. These postures do not sit within a linear catalogue of the gaze but rather create alternative ways of being and looking until we are not quite sure who is doing the posing. Yushi Li appropriates the authority of art-history to highlight constructs at play whilst Alix Marie investigates new fluid structures that have their own powerful body language within them.

The NFZ#3 exhibition (the third chapter of the No Fly Zone project, initiated back in 2016) is scheduled to finally open on January 2021. It leaves this past year behind and, with the works of the three artists invited to present their research in a collective dialogue, tries to provide notes as a starting point for a lucid reading of the present destiny of bodies.

The skin as the surface or rather the territory that defines our space of relationship (or boundary) with ‘the other’, suggests nothing but the impossibility of an identification between the individual (the self) and the context in which she lives (the environment).

---

La mostra NFZ#3 (terzo capitolo della serie No Fly Zone iniziata nel 2016) si lascia alle spalle questo anno appena trascorso e, con le opere delle tre artiste invitate a presentare in un dialogo collettivo le loro ricerche, prova a fornire appunti da cui partire per una lettura lucida del presente destino dei corpi: politici nella loro astrazione, alieni perché riferiti alla mitologia, biologici e dunque mortali, ma per questo anche ultraterreni.

La pelle, che è la superficie o per meglio dire il territorio che definisce il nostro spazio di relazione (o di confine) con ‘l’altro’ ci suggerisce nient’altro che l’impossibilità di un’identificazione tra l’individuo (io) e il contesto in cui vive (l’ambiente).

Shedded Skin was part of the body of work Sucer La Nuit created for a solo show at Musée Des Beaux Arts Le Locle in 2019. In Sucer La Nuit, Marie explores the influence of supernatural – yet familiar – figures such as the witch and the mermaid and pursues her investigation of gender stereotypes in relation to mythologies. Shedded Skin alludes to the snake’s symbolism and its relationship to metamorphosis, erotic powers and the occult.

Artist Support Pledge:

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many artists around the world have found themselves without work, teaching, technical support, gallery work, exhibitions and sales have disappeared. In an attempt to help alleviate some of this stress Matthew Burrow has instigated the Artist Support Pledge.
The concept is a simple one. Artists make work availbale to sell for no more than £200 each (not including shipping.)
Anyone can then buy the work. Every time the artist reaches £1000 of sales they pledge to buy another artist's work for £200.

British Journal Of Photography
Sean O'Hagan Best of 2019

"The Guardian’s photography critic selects his top photobooks and exhibitions of 2019 (...):
Of the current wave of young female artists using photography to address the personal and the political, Alix Marie seems to be the most inventive and mischievous. Her mini-survey show of surreal photo sculptures disrupted the often blandly commercial thrust of Photo London, while Shredded, her critique of male bodybuilding culture, was an almost overwhelming experience that made maximum use of the minimal space that is the Roman Road gallery in east London. Influenced by the transgressive writings of George Bataille and the fetish doll sculptures of Hans Bellmer, her work explores notions of desire, gender, the unconscious, and the irrational. The results, by turns compelling and disturbing, are utterly singular. David Cronenberg would almost certainly approve."

The work of Alix Marie (France, 1989) mixes photography, sculpture and installation. For her first exhibition in Switzerland, the French artist based in London continues her research on our relationship with the body. Alix Marie explores feminine mysticism through various mythological figures. Taking over the third floor of MBAL, the artist inspired by the green room of the museum, has created a space haunted by a feminine presence.  Green, – the colour of the wallpaper in the room – is the colour of the other, of science fiction, fantasy, or of witches’ skin, the artist draws inspiration here from childhood and fairy tales. In this installation, Alix Marie also summons sisterhood; collaborating for the first time for an audio piece with two childhood friends. Continuing her research on myths and gender, Alix Marie focuses here on female figures who are part of childhood: the witch, the godmother and the mermaid – ambiguous figures that can be both good and evil and have inspired superstitions and beliefs that have had a major impact on psychology and the imaginary. Alix Marie’s questioning of gender construction therefore combines autobiographical elements and mythology to offer visitors a unique experience.

Peer to Peer
17/10/2019 - 22/12/2019


Open Eye Gallery
Liverpool

 

A snapshot of the state of art in UK and China today. Forming the centre of LOOK Photo Biennial 2019, Peer to Peer is a group show of 14 artists, selected by 14 curators from across the UK and China. In Liverpool, the exhibition will take place across Open Eye Gallery and the vaulted basement of St. George’s Hall; it will also be shown at Shanghai Centre of Photography in February. The exhibition platforms artists on the verge of major international recognition.

From the UK, Anna Ridler presents her AI-generated projects Mosaic Virus and Tulips, based on handmade image datasets and recently shown as part of the Barbican’s AI: More than Human. Excerpts from Forest, Yan Wang Preston’s recent Sony World Photo Award-winning work will also feature, charting the construction of ‘natural’ landscapes in China. Maisie Cousins began as a Tumblr photographer and was recently named in the DAZED 100 — her sickly-sweet photographic style uses close-ups of everyday objects to make lucid images in which attraction and repulsion collide powerfully.

Orlando by Alix Marie sits somewhere between photography and sculpture: Body parts are crumpled and piled up into a large mound of warped body parts. Othello De’Souza-Hartley’s work unpicks contemporary masculinity, looking at how and why men feel compelled to perform a gender role. Jonny Briggs’ Unpalatable Truths is an unnerving, surreal examination of the cover-up of child abuse on the island of Jersey. Mandy Barker’s Soup tackles the accumulation of plastics in earth’s oceans; she meticulously collects plastic objects from beaches around the world and presents them as constellations, exposing the growing threat to marine and terrestrial life. Siân Davey’s years working as a psychotherapist shine through her photography, which charts the delicate balances of family life.

Fan Xi’s Tree consists of images made from photographing hundreds of trees from many angles, and stitching the photos together into a single organism. The dreamy, buoyant images of Jiang Pengyi’s In Some Time are made without a camera — the artist manipulates darkroom techniques to paint with faint, chemically-created light. Chen Zhe’s Towards Evening seeks to chart people’s slippery relationship with the twilight time between day and night, offering attempts to capture the fading of the day through photos and fleeting text.

Wu Yue looks at the second life of previously popular places, capturing a former nightclub that has now become a nursing home. The stark black and white photographs of Sun Yanchu are loaded with surrealism, showing the strange scenarios that arise in a landscape of urban decay. Playing with the chemical origins of photography, Qin Yifeng captures objects through a process of long exposure, presenting them in negative  — through the ghostly shadows the scenes leave on the film.

Peer to Peer is curated by Lindsay Taylor (University of Salford Art Collection), Thomas Dukes (Open Eye Gallery) and Serein Liu (independent curator, based in Shanghai). It is produced in partnership with University of Salford Art Collection, and supported by Branding Shanghai and Shanghai Municipal Government.

Award

Hundred Heroines


Royal Photographic Society
link here

 

Thousands of nominations, 1,300 nominees, and ten weeks of deliberation, the jury has reached its decision and, on the centenary anniversary of women’s suffrage in the UK, is delighted to announce the names of its Hundred Heroines. It has been a hugely challenging exercise given the breadth and depth of talent, and variety of practice, amongst the nominees.

The Jury believes that its choice of the final hundred showcases the best of global contemporary female photographic practice, and reflects the amazing diversity of methodologies and approaches of different generations of women working within the medium.

Speaking about the selection process, jury chair Rut   Luxemburg said: “The process of looking at the work of over 1000’s of photographers was incredibly stimulating and inspiring for the jury. It opened up so many new avenues of understanding in contemporary photography practices. The selection of a Hundred Heroines reflects a much larger community of female photographers, those chosen to salute and embody this community are emblematic for their inspiration, advocacy and pioneering spirit.”

With this celebration of the UK centenary of women’s right to vote, the RPS is also acknowledging the need for change within the world of photography.  This year has seen a number of initiatives highlighting and attempting to address gender inequality in photography. The RPS Hundred Heroines campaign is proud to be part of the movement that is accelerating the recognition of ground-breaking photographers working globally.

The announcement of our Hundred Heroines should not be seen as the end of the campaign.  Instead, it is just the beginning – the first step on a journey to highlight the outstanding work being done by women in photography.   The campaign will continue with different initiatives and events, and will also continue to feature stories of photographic heroines around the world.

This Is Tomorrow
Review of

LA FEMME FONTAINE
at Roman Road

link here

 

Review by Kaitlyn Kane

Water declares itself the primary medium of Alix Marie’s ‘La Femme Fontaine’ – its presence in the gallery is inescapable. Running through long, clear tubes, it finds its way into every corner of the space. It scales the high walls only to come back to the ground. It trickles audibly into shining silver bowls and the splashing carries and echoes. It spills on to the floor, collecting in shallow puddles. The disorder of it, untidy and uncontained, is strange to see, seemingly at odds with the modern white walls of Roman Road.

It’s only in the context of the rest of the installation that all of this water finds meaning; throughout the gallery, the tubes are threaded through concrete casts of Marie’s body. On one wall, it’s threaded through the artist’s mouth. In the centre of the room, water drips into three bowls, finding its way through a hand, a breast or a thigh, threatening to submerge them all together.

These concrete forms shape and direct the water, but while some are easy to assign, it takes me several minutes to recognise her back, her neck, or her elbow amongst the collection. The casts are spread throughout the gallery, and Marie’s body surrounds you. They’re mounted on the walls, tucked into corners, littered around your feet, and while the water is insistent, the concrete is unyielding.

This is Marie’s first solo exhibition in London, and with this introduction, she is furthering her ongoing exploration of the body, here focusing on the mythical and cultural affiliations between women and water. There are sirens and river nymphs in Greek myth; the goddess Aphrodite was famously born out of sea foam. In Ancient Egypt, the River Nile was represented by a goddess, and in Arthurian legend, the Lady of the Lake plays a central though ambiguous role in the story. Standing in ‘La Femme Fontaine’, you place yourself in their domain. Surrounded as you are by water, they’re in control.

This, though is oversimplified. For while water might be connected to feminine power, Marie is tapping into other cultural associations as well. In the messiness of the installation, through the discomfort that provokes, she is invoking the idea of the abject, exploring and threatening cultural definitions of propriety regarding the female body and bodily functions. There is much about the female body that is contained by society, much that is deemed impure and inappropriate. The title of the exhibition highlights this – ‘la femme fontaine’ is a popular French expression for female ejaculation, an event of sexual expression that remains contentious and is often censored. In the UK, for example, it is banned from being shown in porn.

In this installation, Marie’s hard, concrete casts seem to lavish in wetness; they are one with the fluids that run through them. They refuse to be the soft, pink flesh that society desires. They refuse to be embarrassed or to be separated from the truth of their reality. They stand solid, for themselves, and embrace and demand power.

BOOKS

Bleu, Alix Marie's first book published by Morel Books has joined the TATE MODERN library.

MDAM a joint publication with artist Mia Dudek published by The Plantation Journal has been shortlisted for the Anamorphosis Prize and joined the MOMA library.

      

Alejandro Cartagena selected Bleu as part of his list of the Best Books of 2017 for photo-eye:
"Bleu has me coming back to it over and over again. It is not about what I can understand of it but what it makes me feel, and that is just a mix of things; fragility, disgust, curiosity, sexiness, strangeness, anxiety and many more things. I think it´s this viscerality and entanglement of sensations that never lets you go. You want to come back to try and find peace. But there is no peace in this book. It feels like we are no more than just pieces of flesh, dehumanized and twisted. A gross book that makes you feel alive."

Gabriela Cendoya  selected Bleu as part of her list of the Best Books of 2017 for PhotoBookStore Magazine: "An extraordinary book-sculpture of the body, of the surface of the skin, by the french artist Alix Marie. You can feel the shivering through the pages, touch the bruises, examine the secrets. An amazing work."

Sarah Allen, curator at TATE MODERN, selected Bleu as part of her list of the Best Books of 2017 for LensCulture: "Bleu is an immersive journey into the textures, colours and patterns of skin. This wonderfully tactile photobook absorbs the viewer in an abstract world of flesh. Marie works at the intersection between sculpture and photography and it’s fascinating to see how she has resolved these two interests through the form of the photobook."

The Body is Victory and Defeat of Dreams
K-Gold Temporary Gallery, Lesvos, Greece

 

Κ-Gold Temporary Gallery, the contemporary art platform founded by Nicolas Vamvouklis on Lesvos island, presents the art project “The Body is Victory and Defeat of Dreams” (from Katerina Anghelaki-Rooke’s poem), that comprises a group exhibition, performances and an educational program in collaboration with the Municipal Gallery of Mythimna.

Curator Dr. Athena Hadji focuses on the human body as a field of glory and a battlefield, as victory and defeat, as the axis around which the exhibition is structured. Participating artists were selected accordingly, so were their works, some already realized, others as special commissions. “The Body is Victory and Defeat of Dreams” celebrates the human body in all its glory and decay. It employs works in various media, various scales, various material manifestations, in order to highlight the variety of ways in which the human body unfolds. Placed in a historical edifice, that bears traces of successive changes of use through time, the works converse with the architectural shell and the texts that inspired the choice of each work. The visitors are thus called upon adapting their somatic response each time as well as respond in toto to the architectural, artwork, and literary stimulants, coming to face in the end their own physical challenges and their personal boundaries. With the support of NEON.

Participating artists | Arcangelo Sassolino, Aimilia Giannopoulou, Lydia Dambassina, Alix Marie, Andreas Stylianoudakis, Christos Mouchas, HOPE, Anna Maria Samara, HART+LËSHKINA, Lito Kattou, Orestis Lazouras, Gjergj Bodari, Louise Plaze

Publication Launch

MDAM
Mia Dudek + Alix Marie
The Plantation Journal

Roman Road Gallery, London

Saturday 13th Of May
2 - 6pm  

 

MDAM is a collaboration between The Plantation Journal and artists Mia Dudek and Alix Marie made on the occasion of their eponymous exhibition at Roman Road.
This new publication takes a compelling look at the artists' experimental approaches to photography and sculpture. While their current exhibition gathers installations and more sculpture-based works, the MDAM book is a playful puzzle that brings together their photographic practices exploring bodily matters.

The Plantation Journal is an art initiative and project space, run by Trine Stephensen, showcasing explorations within the curatorial and photographic fields in the contemporary arts through exhibitions, workshops, events and publications. It presents a carefully curated selection of photographic works related to sculptural photography. MDAM is exploring the format of an exhibition catalogue, introducing work that is not necessarily seen in the show, but that has been essential for the creation of the exhibition at Roman Road.

PHOTOWORLD MAGAZINE CHINA

Excerpt from Lucy Soutter's new article Expanded Photography: Persistence of the Photographic for Chinese magazine Photoworld :

"Alix Marie is fascinated by the photographic index—the power of the photograph to provide a direct physical trace of the thing photographed. In Orlando, another sculptural installation, a viewer encounters a huge heap of rock-like lumps, which on close inspection have photographic surfaces that looks fleshy, like some combination of skin, wax, pink marble or meat. Each photographic object is made out of close-up photographic prints of Marie’s boyfriend’s skin, mediated with layers of cracked and melted wax, scanned and reprinted. Marie plays on photography’s ability both to capture surface detail and to provide a precious souvenir of intimate moments. Blown up so much larger than life, Orlando’s skin is kind of creepy, and the piece as a whole has a rather obsessive feeling that reflects our attempt to use photography to hold on on to those we love. Other artists working in a related vein (who, like Marie attended the Royal College of Art) include Darren Harvey-Regen and Jonny Briggs, both of whom play with the notion of photographic trace and the push and pull between reality and representation."

French photographer Alix Marie‘s images will have you looking more than once, her exploration of the mutated body pushing the bounds of the medium and our comfort level. Beginning with nude images of herself and those closest to her, Marie takes her photographs and transforms them into large-scale installations and sculptures. The bloated proportions and crumpled flesh deflect and divert from the photograph’s origin, resulting in behemoth forms of something not altogether human. Targeting our relationship and unease with our bodies as well as implied undercurrents of femininity, the series presents a naked intimacy both stripped to the bone and deeply impassioned. We asked Marie about her process and where these figures come from.
