Pascal Grandmaison / AFK (Away From Keyboard)

Casino Luxembourg, Luxembourg

PASCAL GRANDMAISON: HALF OF THE DARKNESS
Curator: Kevin Muhlen

After a series of exhibitions in Canada and in the USA, Pascal Grandmaison is given a first opportunity to expose his work in Europe thanks to this solo show at Casino Luxembourg. Videos and photographs by Pascal Grandmaison are centred on images and plunge the viewer into a world of refined forms that are to some extend deprived from any visual references.

In the artist’s narrations black and white, visible and invisible, gravity and weightlessness come across, mix up or softly clash. Grandmaison turns his forms drawn from reality into surreal visions. For this first European solo show Pascal Grandmaison presents works realised during the last years as well as a many new productions.

The exhibition is realised with the support of Apex, Cargolux, Apex and Délégation générale du Québec à Bruxelles.

AFK (Away From Keyboard)
Marco Cadioli, Paul Chavard, Collectif Atopia, Angela Di Paolo, Julien Levesque, Albertine Meunier, Nicolas Sordello, Flavien Théry and Christine Webster
Curator: Margherita Balzerani

From 29 January to 1st May 2011 Casino Luxembourg is hosting an exhibition of Human Atopic Space presented in the “Aquarium” and the basement. The members of Human Atopic Space are highlighting artists at the centre of an exhibition where virtual realities are either at the heart of the creative process or are vectors of a reflection which engages them.

The exhibition AFK (Away From Keyboard) presents a journey to the heart of a series of artworks which are displayed with all their technical wanderings, in the unconventional existence of the Internet network, a new tribune. This open and non-hierarchical system reveals artworks in which the realization of the visitor comes about through interactivity and sometimes through playful involvement. The artistic field remains open to the exploration of the unknown, the invisible and the possibilities of this unexpected creative process the artists offer us glimpse at.
