SORTILEGIO - MEXICO

SORTILEGIO SINCRETISMO PASIONAL
Expo. venta de obra de Expresionismo- Abstracto y Surrealista.

Obra de los artistas Juan Trujillo y Rosa Elías, Mass, la Gata Roja

Del 15 al 30 de abril de 2009

Sin duda alguna se trata de la fusión de dos pasiones que al fin y al cabo terminan sincretizándose.

Estilos únicos que al final los artistas deciden unir, para experimentar con el sortilegio, para crear, cual hechiceros, recetas alquímicas plenas de sugerencias, colores, y por supuesto, técnicas.

- El “sabor” y “textura” de cada una de nuestras almas, son cómo la apreciación de ambos hemisferios del cerebro humano – dicen los artistas sobre esta alquimia.

“Cada hemisferio tiene su tarea. Y cuando se encuentra el equilibrio justo para utilizar ambos, podríamos entender - al menos imaginar - que estamos cerca de sentir esta unión a plenitud; todo ello, gracias a la mezcla, a la fusión que, nuevamente sincretizan tal hecho”.

¿Es esto posible?

Ya la magia y mente de cada espectador y su sensibilidad lo podrá compartir asistiendo y charlando al respecto junto con los artistas Elías y Trujullo.

Ambos artistas procuran dos expresiones distintas, y desea ser puestas a prueba públicamente.

Su reto es: “… hacia nuestros espectadores transmitiremos ambas esencias mediante el arte. Ese que siempre es el mismo al fin y al cabo, pero que irá directamente a incentivar la magia de cada uno de ustedes; a cada hombre y mujer con distintas mentes, y con hemisferios masculinos y femeninos cohabitando”.

“Comunicaremos ese mundo de sensaciones mediante la entrega de nuestras almas en cada pieza lograda.

“Queremos originar que el espectador descubra sus propios hemisferios femeninos y masculinos que todos llevamos dentro; pero también: cómo actúan mediante el uso de su propia alma como intérprete”.

Los colores de la obra de cada creador son, ciertamente fuertes, densos y definitivos; aunque la proyección de los temas de cada uno, proveen información adicional que cada persona podrá justificar e identificar a su gusto.

- Hemisferios, en efecto no es el nombre de esta exposición, pero podemos pensar en ella como si así lo fuere – afirman ambos artistas.

SORTILEGIO, SINCRETISMO PASIONAL, es una tentadora y excelente oportunidad para conocer el Expresionismo abstracto del Maestro Trujillo, y la obra Surrealista de la Gata Roja.

Dos pensamientos, dos creencias distintas… invitan a cada espectador a sentirse reflejado en su obra, pero sin mezclar los movimientos artísticos.

CINÉMAS HORS CIRCUITS - PARIS

Après le succès d’une première édition riche en rencontres et animations autour de l’édition cinématographique indépendante, Cinémas hors circuits repart de plus belle pour une nouvelle édition encore plus copieuse avec la présence d’éditeurs étrangers, des discussions, des projections de films et un service de vidéo à la demande.

Le support DVD a envahi notre quotidien ; cependant, l’offre est extrêmement limitée dès que l’on a un peu d’exigence en terme de qualité. Que ce soit en boutique, en médiathèque ou en vidéoclub, la présence des éditions indépendantes, pourtant bouillonnantes, est quasi nulle. D’où la nécessité de créer un évènement visant à offrir une véritable vitrine à cette branche de l’édition.

Pour le public, c’est l’occasion de rencontrer ces passionnés du 7e art qui mettent à notre disposition des œuvres rares, ressuscitent des classiques et des auteurs oubliés, qu’elles relèvent de la fiction, du documentaire, de l’animation ou de l’expérimental.

Le Salon désire également renforcer cette mise en avant en organisant diverses animations autour de leurs productions : des discussions sur des questions concernant l’édition indépendante de cinéma, des projections de films édités et présents sur les stands, ainsi qu’un service de vidéo à la demande. Ainsi, cette manifestation unique en son genre rassemblera-t-elle plus de 60 éditeurs - majoritairement de DVD mais aussi de livres, revues et fanzines - reflétant le dynamisme de l’édition indépendante.

Heure de début :	samedi 16 mai 2009, à 14:00
Heure de fin :	dimanche 17 mai 2009, à 20:00

GAMeC - BERGAME

Ad aprire le inaugurazioni Esposizione Universale – l’arte alla prova del tempo: otto mostre racchiuse in un unico percorso espositivo a cura di Giacinto Di Pietrantonio.

In visione fino al 26 luglio 2009, oltre cento opere, che vanno dal XV al XXI secolo, per affrontare le tematiche universali trattate nei secoli da artisti antichi, moderni e contemporanei. Periodi diversi si confrontano, il classico e il moderno si fronteggiano per sottolineare le influenze e le relazioni esercitate dal passato sul presente e viceversa.

In contemporanea RAPTUS, un progetto site specific dell’artista Marcello Maloberti, a cura di Alessandro Rabottini.
Ideato dall’artista per gli spazi della GAMeC, RAPTUS è un’imponente installazione composta da oggetti, suoni, luci e immagini che creano una molteplicità di paesaggi – rurali , urbani e umani – incastrati l’uno dentro l’altro come scatole cinesi, e che si espandono sino a dominare gli spazi del museo.

A cura di Maria Cristina Rodeschini le due mostre del ciclo 'Arte a Bergamo', indagine su autori e opere prodotte nella città: gli spazi della Collezione Permanente ospiteranno Dalla Collezione Zucchelli, Dipinti e ceramiche; mentre lo Spazio ParolaImmagine accoglierà la personale di Dietelmo Pievani, dal titolo La materia delle idee.

SHIBARI - OTTAWA

La Petite Mort Gallery presents:

THE FORBIDDEN EVENING OF SHIBARI
Friday, April 3, 2009 / 7 - 10pm
In the window of La Petite Mort Gallery....

In collaboration with the photography exhibit by INKED KENNY (aka Kenny Lee) : SUBVERSIVE WORLDS

Douglas Kent, author of award-winning "The Better Built Bondage Book" and the forthcoming "Complete SHIBARI" series, would be giving us a glimpse in the very private world of SHIBARI.

What is SHIBARI? It's an artistic form of Japanese-style bondage that builds beautiful and elegant rope work from a small set of simple ties.

Commentary:
"The goal of shibari is not punishment, nor is it control, as many westernized D/s’ ers seem to practice. It is a mutual effort of the Dom and sub to build the best, closest relationship possible. There are no safewords used, scenes are not negotiated, and the concept of "safe, sane and consensual" is not vocalized. Instead there is an honor to be found within the Dom to respect the sub and ensure no harm comes to her in exchange for the total control she gives Him.

To many, shibari may seem extreme. Bondage and suspension can be torturous and painful. In addition, deep humiliation is often used, and the sub really is the Dom’s "object" to be used as He wishes. But this is all used to break down any false inhibitions between the sub and Dom and is never meant to be harmful. Instead, it diminishes and eventually removes any barriers between the two, forming a bond and dependence between the couple that is indescribable.

Shibari brings with it an innate respect for your partner, a desire to please, a closeness and bond I have not witnessed elsewhere. Admittedly, my experience is based on one Master, the Man who owns my soul. I don’t know if it is the same for everyone. I do know a comment I hear frequently in demos or at the local dungeon focuses on the obvious bond and unspoken communication between us". Anonymous Testimonial, 2009

Guy Berube, director

ALLMAN, BARNHART, McCLELLAND - DENVER

Ricky Allman, Grant Barnhart & Niall McClelland
April 2nd - April 25th, 2009
Opening Reception on THURSDAY, April 2nd from 6-8 p.m.

The David B. Smith Gallery is proud to announce its third exhibition of the 2009 Season. This exciting show introduces two new artists to the Gallery’s collectors and friends, and welcomes back Grant Barnhart who has exhibited with us before.

Many of you may remember Grant Barnhart’s work. He challenges the viewer to engage in an exploration of the contradictions and complexities of growing up in America, and living in today’s society as an adult. He merges childhood nostalgia and American archetypes with cultural critique and satire, to induce the viewer to evaluate and understand the conflicting perspectives of American culture with the hope of a promising and forgiving future.

Ricky Allman’s work is composed of geometric landscapes pulsing with color, design, and optimism. He triumphantly creates warm and inviting scenes that generate coexistence between technology, architecture and nature. People seldom appear in Allman’s work giving a false sense of security and often leaving one to wonder the actual importance of man in this equation. He skillfully navigates the landscapes in and out of each other with the artfulness of dance and the ingenuity of a machine. His use of chromatic colors distinguished with dark and pale shades serves to further heighten the contrast and drama of his works.

The images of Niall McClelland stand in stark contrast to the color palates of his colleagues. He is a multi-disciplinary Toronto based artist with a strong material focus in his work, frequently limiting himself to a gray palette and readily available materials such as graphite, photocopies, ink and paper. McClelland has comprised a series of assembled and make shift “forgotten” flags. The illusion of folded paper, abstraction, and smudged mark making gives life to the cast aside forms. He successfully demonstrates the ability to pull these fictitious flags from ash and debris to reconstruct the forms in a new light, leaving the audience to pause about what caused the fall of these previous civilizations and the precarious rebirth of the distinct inexperienced emblems.

All three of these artists are sure to intrigue and challenge the viewer to understand the work, and the artist’s perspective. Please join us and see this unique collection of beautiful and engaging works of art.

MARY-ANNE WENSLEY - HALIFAX

Please join us for an evening with artist Mary-Anne Wensley.

Mary-Anne Wensley's "inescapable shelter" continues the Halifax artist’s intensive exploration of the material qualities of pig intestine. She has formed these delicate, translucent membranes – both exquisitely fragile and faintly repulsive – into flowers, net-like curtains and rectangular bricks from which she constructs a “safe house” structure large enough for the viewer to enter. Wensley’s 3-minute animation, "The Day of the Uteri", will also be on display near the main gallery entrance. [The ancient Greeks thought that the uterus was an animal within an animal. It didn't like to stay in its place. This animation chronicles the escape and adventures of a bunch of uteri.]

Mary-Anne Wensley's "inescapable shelter" appear at Saint Mary's University Art Gallery from 7 March through 11 April 2009. The gallery is open to the public Tuesday through Friday, 11:00 am to 5:00 pm and weekends noon to 5:00 pm. All exhibitions and associated programmes at Saint Mary's University Art Gallery receive significant support from the Canada Council for the Arts. Mary-Anne Wensley also received support from the Nova Scotia Department of Tourism, Culture and Heritage.
