Platform / Jean-Luc Moulene

Modern Art Oxford, Oxford

Platform

Platform is a new initiative showcasing the talent of emerging artists from across the South East of England will be featured at Modern Art Oxford during October and November.

The two-part exhibition presents the work of nine 2012 graduate artists from Oxford Brookes University, The Ruskin School of Drawing & Fine Art, Oxford Cherwell Valley College, and Reading University.

Initiated through CVAN, the contemporary visual arts network in the South East, Platform has been created to nurture new artistic talent and is supported by a coalition of visual arts organisations: Aspex, Milton Keynes Gallery, Modern Art Oxford and Turner Contemporary. Each organisation has selected graduates from their local area to participate in this series of exhibitions.

At Modern Art Oxford between 29 September – 28 October, Part I of Platform will feature five artists; Laura Bleach (Oxford Brookes University), Alana Francis (Reading University), Lucy Garnett (Oxford Cherwell Valley College), Kamila Janska (Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art) and Amy Wilkins (Oxford Brookes University).

Part II of the Platform exhibition at Modern Art Oxford will begin on 30 October and run until 25 November 2012 and will feature the remaining four artists; Jack Eden (Oxford Brookes University), Hannah Mills (Reading University), Cara George and Jan Kaesbach (Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art).

A shortlist of artists from each of the four exhibitions across the South East will be nominated for the Platform Graduate Award, which includes a financial award of £2,500 and a 12-month programme of bespoke professional development. The winner will be announced at Modern Art Oxford on 22 November 2012.

Jean-Luc Moulène

Jean-Luc Moulène at Modern Art Oxford is a solo exhibition of work by the seminal French artist (b.1955, Reims, France), tracing his practice from the early-nineties to the present, with an emphasis on recent work. The exhibition presents a collection of sculptures or ‘objects’, drawings, photographs and a newly commissioned film.

Alongside Moulène’s renowned photographic work, his practice has often included manufactured objects, drawings and prints - a celebration of the act of making as fundamental to human activity, and evidence of his enduring interest in anthropology and material cultures of the past. The ongoing relationship between image and object at the heart of Moulène’s practice forms a central theme of this exhibition. The works also reveal a use of mathematics and geometry that is at the core of the formulation of his works.

The exhibition shows several series of works including his celebrated monochromes painted with BIC pen inks and his remarkable sculptural knots made from blown glass and cast bronze. Evocative of a ceremony or procession, the works are placed according to a precise spatial structure that extends through the upper galleries, culminating with the film The Three Graces.

After gaining his degree in Art and Literature from the Sorbonne University (Paris, 1976), Moulène moved from performance to photography and drawing. This is the first major exhibition of his work in the UK. He lives and works in Paris, France.

Jean-Luc Moulène's new glass sculptures were produced and fabricated at The International Glass and Visual Arts Research Centre / CIRVA, Marseille.
