Small Metal Boats For Sale

Dominique de Beir and Kacha Legrand at the Galerie du Haut-Pavé (paris)



Opening of the exhibition Small papers Saturday, February 5th from 4:00 p.m. at the Gallery of the High Pavement.


From 5th to 12th February 2011, the Galerie du Haut-Pavé offers a clash of the group. Were invited forty-six artists who have exhibited in such places in the last fifteen years, and some guests, close to the gallery and its spirit. The theme selected is that of small papers. Each exhibitor has been invited to exhibit four to five works on paper, limiting their size to that of an A5. The techniques used range from the conventional design and photography, through a multitude of ways, direct or diverted, to use a sheet of paper. The set represents a complete overview of contemporary artistic practices using paper. Over the rails, the viewer will discover pages of sketchbooks, sketches of plans, proposals more refined formulations of initial ideas, works ... definitive Some artists that work on paper is not common practice, have imposed the exercise of inventing a possible use of paper, with the additional constraint of small size, requiring some form of intimacy, as opposed to any bombastic speech or any final proposal. In others, for whom drawing is part of the creative process, the proposed exercise forced them to a suitable choice for their works fund intermediaries. Others, familiar with the practice of drawing, had to pay to the test expression in reduced dimensions, requiring concentration, sobriety and concisely. That, somehow, an invitation to enter, such as burglary, in the laboratories of contemporary art which is given by the Gallery of the High Pavement.
