Between the instantaneous metropolitan diagrams of Julie Mehretu, the clashing contemporary urban worlds of Franz Ackermann, the realist architectural paintings of Yves Be'lorgey, and the utopian housing complexes of Berdaguer & Pe'jus, the representation of the modern city has grown to be a theme of vast importance in the contemporary art world. Created in collaboration with the Camden Arts Centre of London, the exhibition ,“Archipeinture" has thus been doubly conceived to better grasp the various contexts (socio-political, cultural and architectural) in which the two arts centers currently function.
A thematic exhibition, “Archipeinture" intends to explore the different ways in which urban architecture and contemporary art tend to influence one another, including: the use of painting as an architectural form in public or private spaces; the effect of recent developments on the representation of the modern metropolis; the links between architecture and other mental or psychological spaces...
Here the representation of architecture will be less a question of mixing together various structural remnants than one of going beyond the typical exhibitory framework towards a whole new modeling of space and time.
The exhibition will above all serve to represent a multitude of architectural forms and practices, anchored more or less in painting, which the visitors will discover as they pass from constructed to deconstructed spaces, from architectural representations to mental landscapes...
Exhibition’s partners: the Camden Arts Centre, British Council, Pro-Helvetia & Paris Calling.
