    architecture after modernism. Ranging a diversity

    that further contextualize Gordon Matta-Clark’s               184 pages, €42
    compelling critique of architecture.

    Soon after completing his studies at Cornell University
    School of Architecture (1962-1968), Matta-Clark moved
    to New York and started developing a series of artworks
    in situ that seemed to perform an anatomy of sorts
    onto the very body of the urban landscape by literally
    cutting structures apart and exhibiting the remnants as
    demonstration.

    An important part of these actions were realized in the
    South Bronx during a period marked by the borough’s
    steep economic decline prompted in great part by the
    massive exodus of its middle class to suburbia. As a
    consequence, a great number of abandoned buildings
    in the area provided raw material for Matta-Clark to
    intervene on. One of the most iconic series from this
    period, Bronx Cuts, became emblematic of Matta-Clark’s
    practice and was later expanded onto highly ambitious
    works such as Conical Intersect (Paris, 1975).

    In addition to undermining the vocabulary of modulation
    and repetition that characterized modernist architecture,
    Matta-Clark also recognized the growing tendency
    toward public interaction exemplified by the proliferation
    of graffiti. Despite its ancient roots in history, graffiti
    had become a worldwide phenomenon since the
    postwar particularly among impoverished post-industrial
    communities. Countering the bleakness of urban
    sprawl, graffiti became a means of expression for youth
    everywhere to rebel against conformity and ultimately the
    authority of the architect.

    Ironically, Matta-Clark’s cut-up method, borne out of
    the rubble of industrial era landscape, would later
    become extremely influential among younger architects,
    particularly those associated with deconstruction             Curators: Sergio Bessa and Jessamyn Fiore
    theory, such as Frank Gehry, Peter Eisenman and Daniel
    Libeskind. More recently, with the reevaluation of urban      Organized by The Bronx Museum of the Arts,

     a retrospective devoted to Dorothea Lange                      perspective the work of this renowned American artist,

     perspective of her political activism.

     Along with the writings of John Steinbeck, Dorothea
     Lange’s photographs are an example of great works of
     art inspired by hard times: an image like Migrant Mother
     takes on a mythical dimension by becoming the symbol
     of an entire era. When the Great Depression struck in
     1929, Lange instinctively turned her lens towards the
     victims of the recession and took photographs that would
     attract the attention of individuals like Paul S. Taylor, a
     labour economist at the University of California. The two
     quickly became a couple and began a collaboration,
     documenting the plight of struggling workers in the Dust
     Bowl for the governmental agencies of the New Deal.
     The Dust Bowl was situated in the heart of America’s
     agricultural region, in the Midwest, and was ravaged by
     drought and terrible dust storms.

     Following the Great Depression, Dorothea Lange
     continued to practise photography and to document
     the major issues of the day, including the internment of
     Japanese-American families during the Second World
     War; the wartime migration of African-American and
     Hispanic families to California; the criminal justice system
     through the work of a county public defence lawyer, as
     well as environmental destruction and urban development
     in the post-war years.

     If Dorothea Lange’s iconic images of the Great Depression      Curators: Drew Heath Johnson and Pia Viewing

     Orwell’s Newspeak, which advocated a non-distantiation
     from the facts, grouped together three types of vocabulary.
     Language within the B Group concerned rhetoric or
     political discourse, and is the breeding ground for the
     project proposed by Damir Očko. The exhibition at the
     Jeu de Paume revolves around the film Dicta (the plural of
     ‘dictum’, coming from the Latin, meaning an undisputed
     truth). Following Dicta I, based on the autobiographical
     writings of Bertolt Brecht’s Telling the Truth: 5 Difficulties
     (1934), written when the latter fled the German regime,
     Dicta is built around a series of safewords. Influenced by
     Dadaism and conceptual art, the film takes the form of
     a collage and regroups an ensemble of inaudible and
     contradictory statements, as obscure as the images. The
     film evokes epic theatre and Brechtian distancing which
     awakens the viewer’s political consciousness. Damir
     Očko provides explanations in the form of asides that
     make the viewer an ‘enlightened observer’ despite the
     film’s challenging visuals and sound. The artist filmed the
     protagonists behind a group so that the figures of the
     performers blend into the crowd and disappear. The film
     addresses the notions of obstruction, obliteration, the loss
     of language function, but also political mimicry. According
     to Aristotle, language was an instrument, stabilizing the
     relationship to reality by means of knowledge. He places
     man in a community, making him a political animal. An
     attempt at emancipation is formulated here in words and
     images, offering a definition of today’s language as an                  Damir Očko

DAPHNÉ LE SERGENT
GEOPOLITIC OF OBLIVION
06 | 05 – 09 | 23 | 2018

  Born in Seoul, South Korea in 1975, Daphné Le
  Sergent lives and works in Paris. Her work contains
  an artistic and theoretical exploration of the
  notions of scissions and borders. This work has led
  her to think about the concepts of arrangement
  and strategies in contemporary artistic creation.
  She makes use of fragments of texts and poems,
  segmented drawings, photographic diptychs
  and video sequences, all of which are intended
  to challenge the subjectivity that underpins the
  image, connecting one element to the other.

  These fragments highlight a connection which
  paradoxically maintains a sense of separation. In Le
  Sergent’s work, the ‘I’ seems to be the thing that separates
  the world into two parts, in the manner of a partition or
  dividing wall, as thin as a line of text.

  A selection of the artist’s video works are part of the
  Collectif Jeune Cinéma and have been shown in various
  venues and events, including: ‘The 11th Gwangju Biennale
  MegaExhibition’, Gwangju (2016); ‘Republic of 0-Sang’,
  South Korea (2016); ‘L’alternativa’, Barcelona Independent
  Film Festival (2015), ‘Being on the Move: Reflections on
  Migration’, Seoul, Litmus Art Center (2015), etc.

ALEJANDRO CESARCO
SATELLITE 11
10 | 16 | 2018 – 01 | 27 | 2019

     Born in Montevideo (Uruguay), Alejandro Cesarco
     lives and works in New York. His work unfolds
     as a series of deductions that often indicate an
     elsewhere or an off-camera, bearing witness to the
     experience of reality in all its discontinuity.

     Alejandro Cesarco describes his practice as addressing
     questions of “repetition, narrative, and the practices of
     reading and translating.” Artworks take the form of film
     and video, prints and photographs, text and drawings,
     among others, and evince a deep engagement with the
     histories and aesthetics of Conceptual Art. With a poetic,
     sometimes romantic, other times melancholic air, they
     represent a sustained investigation into time, memory, and
     how meaning is felt.

     Many of Cesarco’s artistic strategies point to the influence
     of literature on his practice, structurally and conceptually,
     directly and indirectly. Certain works take the form of the
     index, the dedication, and the table of contents. Texts
     by authors such as Robert Walser, Jorge Luis Borges,
     Marguerite Duras, and Clarice Lispector are quoted in
     structure or subject matter. A similar “personal canon”
     could be drawn from the fields of cinema and art.
     Over all, Cesarco’s methodologies variously mine the
     possibilities of tropes and archetypes, inspiration and
     appropriation, genre and style.

     His last solo exhibitions have included: ‘A Portrait, a Story,
     and an Ending’, Kunsthalle Zürich, Switzerland (2013);
     ‘Alejandro Cesarco’, MuMOK, Vienna (2012); ‘Words
     Applied to Wounds’, Murray Guy, New York (2012);
     ‘A Common Ground’, Uruguayan Pavilion, 54th Venice
     Biennale.

LUCIEN HERVÉ
THE GEOMETRY OF LIGHT
11 | 18 | 2017 – 05 | 27 | 2018

     If he collaborated with some of the other
     great architects of the twentieth century, the
     photographer Lucien Hervé (1910-2007) is above
     all famous for his work with Le Corbusier. A great
     constructor of the image, a single detail was all
     he needed to depict the ensemble, and he was
     capable of expressing the space simply by means
     of the contrast between light and shadow. Lucien
     Hervé was also a committed observer of the world
     and of humanity however, seeking everywhere
     ‘the presence of the living’. His photographs
     taken from above or at an angle allowed him to
     play with the geometry of the image, and tended
     towards abstraction. This exhibition at the Château
     de Tours pays tribute to him by juxtaposing, as he
     did, ‘the universal and the timeless’, the ancient
     and the modern, the abstract and the human.

     A contemporary of some of the great Hungarian
     photographers—André Kertész and Brassaï—, as well
     as Robert Capa and Nicolás Muller—both of whom
     were recently exhibited at the Château de Tours—part
     of Lucien Hervé’s work remains unknown to the wider
     public. Despite his passion for architecture, this was
     never his sole subject or exclusive focus, Lucien Hervé
     also sought to represent in his work humanity and
     traces of humanity on the world, all the while avoiding
     the anecdotal. For example, he photographed living
     and working conditions in places like France, India
     and South America. He captured children and old
     men who moved him, as well as the human gestures
     or movements that allowed him to play with the
     geometry of the image. His quest for beauty, whether
     through architecture or humanity, often culminated in
     the abstraction of his subjects.

DANIEL BOUDINET
06 | 16 – 10 | 28 | 2018

  Daniel Boudinet (1945-1990) was one of the first
  artists to emancipate himself from photojournalism,
  playing an important role in the photographic
  renaissance of the 1970s. His personal work
  explored the renewed use of colour. Used
  primarily for architectural views, colour in his work
  was employed to reveal the majesty and mystery
  of the photographic subject. His technical mastery
  may be seen in his night photographs, taken of the
  city, but also of gardens and nature, encouraging
  contemplation. Also a portraitist, Daniel Boudinet
  photographed and rubbed shoulders with the
  artists and intellectuals of his time, including
  figures like Roland Barthes.

  Although very involved in the arts scene of the 1970s and
  1980s, Daniel Boudinet developed a highly independent
  body of work. From his early career, he had an interest in
  architecture and the landscape: after a first book in which
  he documented the transformation of the urban landscape
  (Bagdad-sur-Seine), he then focused on the opposite,
  turning his attention to architectural vestiges or ruins.
  Thanks to his use of long exposure techniques, the viewer’s
  gaze can linger on the proportions, texture and harmony
  of the subjects. Interested by the effects of light, especially
  at night, he exploited the possibilities of the medium in
  order to construct, through colour, seductive yet slightly
  surreal spaces.

  A catalogue has been published for the exhibition.

JEU DE PAUME
 PHOTOGRAPHY – VIDEO – CONTEMPORARY
 ART – CINEMA – ONLINE CREATION

 A historic venue dedicated to the image
 located in the heart of the Tuileries Gardens

 The Jeu de Paume is an iconic cultural institution located
 in the Tuileries Gardens. It has gained an international
 reputation as an art centre that exhibits and promotes
 all forms of mechanical and electronic imagery
 (photography, cinema, video, installation, online creation,
 etc.) from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It
 produces and coproduces exhibitions but also organises
 film programmes, symposiums and seminars, as well as
 educational activities. The Jeu de Paume also publishes a
 number of art publications each year. With its high-profile
 exhibitions of established, little-known and emerging
 artists (especially via the Satellite program), this venue ties
 together different narrative strands, mixing the historic and
 the contemporary.

 Well-known artists (Richard Avedon, Diane Arbus, Garry
 Winogrand, Philippe Halsman, etc.) as well as emerging
 figures (Omer Fast, Oscar Muñoz, Helena Almeida, Ali
 Cherri, etc.) can all be seen in this space that attracts an
 increasingly large and varied audience each year.

 Since 2007, the Jeu de Paume has been working to
 develop its Internet presence and has been experimenting
 by developing a dedicated “virtual space” with a
 program of special web-based projects and thematic
 shows entrusted to curators specialising in the digital
 arts. Film cycles are devised to accompany many of
 the exhibitions, or simply to pay tribute to major figures
 of the independent film-making scene in France and
 abroad. Specialising in documentary, experimental, art-
 house film and autobiography, with an emphasis on
 previously unshown work, this program helps to create
 bridges between film-makers and artists. All activities
 at the Jeu de Paume are driven by an overriding desire
 to draw parallels and engage a dialogue between the
 various strands of visual culture and images, leading to

JEU DE PAUME/MUSÉE DE L’ORANGERIE
Comparative tour of the twins in the Jardin des
Tuileries: A shared history, individual destinies

The Jeu de Paume and the Musée de l’Orangerie are
continuing their partnership with two joint events on
Saturday afternoons. An ideal way to enjoy these two
iconic institutions, both located in the Jardins des Tuileries,
and to learn more about their common history.

The triangular terraces built by Le Nôtre constitute the two
right-angled foundations on which the Orangerie and Jeu
de Paume were built. In 1909, the Jeu de Paume became a
gallery for exhibiting artworks and then, in 1922, was made
into an annexe of the musée du Luxembourg for presenting
contemporary foreign schools. In the same year, with the
formal confirmation of Claude Monet’s donation to the
French state of his monumental ensemble of Water Lilies,
work began in the Orangerie to create a special space for
their installation.

Today, the Musée de l’Orangerie is an outstanding
museum for the art of the early 20th century and the Jeu
de Paume is an art centre renowned for its coverage of
photography and the image in the 20th and 21st centuries.
The dialogue between these two institutions and their
programmes is continuing and developing in new directions
in accordance with the changing relationships between
painting and photography in today’s art.
