Italian photographer who observes major environmental, social and cultural changes across Europe, Marina Caneve present at art center Saint-Fons his first solo exhibition On the ground among the animals. Inspired by the Natura 2000 project, a network of ecological corridors for the preservation of biodiversity, promoted by the European Union, it questions migration, the conservation of ecosystems and explores the relationship between humans and animals (until 22 FEBRUARY).
The Valérie-Eymeric gallery reveals with Base coat the powerful and colorful universe ofAdrien Jutardpainter who develops his language using the most contemporary products (resins, paints, pigments), which he uses as he wishes to amplify his gesture and rediscover the founding impulse of a work (from January 9 to February 15).
The Confluences museum invites us to understand the dream but also the relationship that human societies have had with it since the dawn of time by bringing together (around audiovisual works and two hundred objects) several disciplines: history, psychology, ethnology, art, research in neuroscience. The visitor is taken into a scenography representing a succession of short dreams which blurs the boundaries between reality and decor, between awakening and dreamlike visions. Enveloped by a soft sound composition, he discovers, from one space to another, a neuroscience laboratory, dream books, a psychoanalyst’s office, monumental projections with phantasmagorical shapes, mirrors which contribute to the loss of benchmarks specific to dreams.
Not to be missed, the magnificent work of Hans Op de Beeck Belgian artist present during the 16e Contemporary art biennial which took over a Fagor factory hangar with a campsite covered in ashes, filled with objects frozen in time and without human life, creating a universe that was both apocalyptic and fantasized (Dreamtime,until August 24).
