BERLIN – PARIS

9 - 31 January 2009 Wentrup

As part of Paris-Berlin, the Gallery kamel mennour presents 5 of their artists at the Jan Wentrup Gallery.

 

Christine Rebet shows an installation inspired by the great fire at the beginning of the 20th century that destroyed the amusement park on Coney Island, New York. The 16mm film Tell me about your dream depicts an unlikely discussion between a tiger as a psychoanalyst and his young patient. Additionally, a selection of drawings from the series Tiger escape, the fictional casting of the vanished or imaginary decor of the drama, will be displayed.

 

From Camille Henrot, the film Grand troupeau will be shown. The film was projected onto the facade of the Jeu de Paume in Paris in 2005 and shows the unbridled run of skeletal horses, luminous figures drawn on the surface of the film.

 

Continuing his dialogue between nature and culture, Pierre Malphettes presents one of his sculptures HEA Point Limite, an iron beam perforated in the middle, giving the appearance as if parasites had taken possession of it and created a kind of crochet structure.

 

The photographer Marie Bovo, currently on display at the Centre de Création Contemporaine de Tours, shows a photo from her series Cour intérieure, photos that were taken over the course of days and hours in an apartment.

 

Claude Lévêque, who will represent France at the upcoming Venice Biennale, presents his work Double Manège, three majestic-looking neon circles that seem as if hand-drawn.
