			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Four Zimbabwean artists have been selected to represent Zimbabwe at the first ever National Pavilion of Zimbabwe at the Venice Biennale! The world’s most prestigious international forum for contemporary art,  held every two years in the city of Venice, is usually attended by 500,000 people from June to November. The exhibition is commissioned by Doreen Sibanda, Director of the <a href="www.nationalgallery.co.zw">National Gallery of Zimbabwe</a>, and curated by Raphael Chikukwa, Curator at the National Gallery.  It features the work of four artists:  <a href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berry_Bickle">Berry Bickle</a>; Calvin Dondo; <a href="www.artfacts.net/en/artist/misheck-masamvu-72694/profile.html">Misheck Masamvu</a> and <a href="en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapfuma_Gutsa">Tapfuma Gutsa</a> and works will be presented in the mediums of painting, photography, video installation and sculpture.</p>
<p>On March 29 2011 Rkalon had the chance to attend the official Press Conference presenting the projects to be showcased at the <a href="http://www.labiennale.org/en/art/exhibition/">Venice Biennale</a>. Held at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe, the event uncovered some ambitious and exciting initiatives. You know what? We&#8217;re heading to Venice in June!</p>
<p>In the meatime, we&#8217;ll endeavour to present the four selected artists in our columns, through video interviews.</p>
<p>Stay tuned.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">It may be a sign of my generation: I like to <em>sneak</em> in&#8230; Sometimes I do so even if I&#8217;m invited <img src='http://s2.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Anyway. A few months ago, I  attended a contemporary art auction sale @ <a href="www.artcurial.com">Artcurial</a>. The catalog gathered major urban art pieces from <strong>Bansky</strong>, <strong>JonOne</strong>, <strong>Blek Le Rat</strong>, <strong>Seen</strong> and many other stars. As a result, the main room was insanely crowdy!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Following my friend Liz&#8217; advice, I eventually <em>sneaked</em> backstage where no one could see me. Except maybe for the grumbling commish. I have to admit it Liz: watching the sale from there was great. Not only could I admire the pieces just before they were shown to the public, but I could also admire the auctioneer&#8217;s maestria. I was actually feeling his nervousity (I was very excited too!) but he managed the room with success. Following that epic moment, I had no choice but speak to <strong>Arnaud Oliveux</strong>.</p>

Internet connection was very bad there so blogging was definitely not an option. Obviously, I got some cool stuff that I&#8217;ll post here really soon. Now. With a new year often come new resolutions. Or&#8230;  at least decisions. Well, I&#8217;m giving it a try. Following V&#8217;s advice, I&#8217;ll be writing more texts in order to contextualize my videos a bit. 2009 was proclaimed &#8216;Year of Street Art in France&#8217;, as shown by all the noteworthy events and publications related to the subject (speaking of which, M.D&#8217;s exciting book, <a href="http://www.magda-gallery.com/presse/PRstreetart.pdf"><span style="text-decoration:none;">From style writing to art, a street art anthology</span></a> is my new bible). As such, could I launch this year without paying respect to <a href="www.futura2000.com">Futura</a> who is definitely one of the pioneers who made the end of next year very unique?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The following scenes were shot in the <a href="www.esa-paris.fr">École Spéciale</a>, where the artist performed an impressive live-painting session (by the way, I cant&#8217; wait to the <a href="http://www.magda-gallery.com/vfr/index.php?perma=SpeedPainting1">speed painting session</a> at MD&#8217;s next month!). The video might be a bit too long, for which I apologize. I just couldn&#8217;t cut more&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Let the magic begin!</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Samedi 28 novembre chez <a href="http://http://www.artspace-galleries.com/">Artspace Galleries</a> à Paris se joue le nouvel acte d&#8217;une belle aventure. <a href="http://www.transit-systeme.com">Transit Système</a> va de nouveau nous surprendre et éveiller cette petite part de matière grise un peu folle que notre cerveau malaxe avec parfois trop de timidité. Les artistes de ce collectif haut en couleurs nous ouvrent les portes de leur monde fantaisiste et nous font glisser dans leurs esprits percutants. Des poulpes dans les bras de madones, des grands-mères qui résistent au temps, des personnages de bande-dessinées qui explosent la toile, des instantanés délicats de paysages inconnus. Voici une partie de la balade qui vous sera offerte.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Photographes, peintres, graffeurs et vidéastes présentent une pan de leur oeuvre vive, décapante et courageuse. La lecture du dossier de presse vous donnera un aperçu de leur travail.<br />

<h1 style="text-align:center;">Dimanche 20 septembre 2009</h1>
<h1 style="text-align:center;">Château de Versailles</h1>
<h1 style="text-align:center;">Exposition <a href="http://www.veilhan-versailles.com">Xavier Veilhan</a></h1>
<p style="text-align:center;">Devant la grille du château, le sort est une nouvelle fois jeté.<br />
Me voici princesse éphémère d’un royaume déjà investi par la foule de si bon matin.<br />
En amazone sur mon pur-sang anglais baie et haut en croupe, je m’avance vers la plus belle vue du monde.<br />
Dans une emphase qu’il faut que ma plume contienne, j’avance fièrement avec le port altier d’une noblesse baroque.<br />
Un carrosse violet détourne mon attention et ma monture fait mine de camoufler l’inquiétude suscitée par un véhicule en fuite et pourtant fixé dans les pavés.<br />
Comme condamné à hanter l’Histoire d’une culpabilité tenace.</p>
<div id="attachment_76" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-76 " title="Le Carrosse" src="http://rkalon.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/sany0003.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="Le Carrosse - courtesy Xavier Veilhan" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Le Carrosse © Xavier Veilhan</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">Malgré cette noblesse clairement assumée, la faiblesse de mes ressources me détourne d’une file d’attente qui me semble interminable pour visiter le château et m’encourage à raccourcir mon séjour à Versailles. Nous nous contenterons des jardins. Pour cette fois.<br />
Il est amusant de réfléchir au ravissement que nous, Français, avons de posséder Versailles, de pouvoir y réunir les congrès de la République, d’y traiter les chefs d’états étrangers, d’en admirer les grandes eaux. Ainsi, nous acceptons le rituel d’une promenade exécutée dans l’ordre voulu par le Roi. On y est aussi satisfait que le créateur et partageons ce plaisir de propriétaire.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Etonnante félicité….</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">La petite brume d’automne est arrivée avant la date, offrant la fugace mais saisissante sensation que le temps s’est arrêté.<br />
L’anachronisme de mon état rencontre alors l’incongruité de ces vertigineuses statues noires de Veilhan que je ne vois pour l’instant que de dos.</p>
<div id="attachment_78" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-78" title="Les Architectes" src="http://rkalon.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/sany0022_21.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="Les Architectes - Philipe Bona + Elizabeth Lemercier © Xavier Veilhan " width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Les Architectes - Philipe Bona + Elizabeth Lemercier © Xavier Veilhan </p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">Je suis aspirée par ces personnages immenses dont je découvre l’identité au fur et à mesure du pas de mon cheval.<br />
En découvrant ces œuvres, et comme Richard Rogers, on adhère facilement à l’idée selon laquelle la beauté est inhérente à une structure bien pensée. En effet, la technique singulière de Veilhan impose un respect profond et silencieux devant les grands maîtres qui sont représentés ici et dont, en toute objectivité, je connais mal le travail.</p>
<div id="attachment_80" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 235px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-80" title="Les Architectes" src="http://rkalon.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/sany0020.jpg?w=225&#038;h=300" alt=" Les Architectes © Xavier Veilhan" width="225" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text"> Les Architectes © Xavier Veilhan</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">La solidité du produit et l’intelligence de la scénographie me saisissent et m’emmènent encore plus loin que je ne suis déjà.<br />
La Cour du Roi composée d’ombres et de lumières, pleine d’oppositions et de contradictions semble se refléter avec droiture dans le travail de Xavier Veilhan.<br />
La démarche et la volonté adoucissent le regard souvent trop critique de nous autres contemplateurs.<br />
Ma promenade continue vers les bassins et les royaux bosquets. Je ne verrai pas les Grandes Eaux. Erreur de timing. Je tombe comme tout visiteur sur cette « Lune » que l’on domine du haut des marches sur la pelouse qui mène à la Petite Venise. Je suis assez peu saisie par cette œuvre dont je reconnais cependant l’intelligence mais qui ne me parle pas.</p>
<div id="attachment_83" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 160px"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-83 " title="La Lune  © Xavier Veilhan" src="http://rkalon.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/sany00081.jpg?w=150&#038;h=112" alt="La Lune  © Xavier Veilhan" width="150" height="112" /><p class="wp-caption-text">La Lune  © Xavier Veilhan</p></div>
<div id="attachment_84" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-84" title="La Lune  © Xavier Veilhan" src="http://rkalon.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/sany0013.jpg?w=150&#038;h=112" alt="La Lune  © Xavier Veilhan" width="150" height="112" /><p class="wp-caption-text">La Lune  © Xavier Veilhan</p></div>
<p style="text-align:right;">Je continue cette sublime promenade admirant avec délectation les trésors de ces jardins.<br />
J’aimerais que cette journée ne s’achève jamais. Je quitte pourtant Versailles, déterminée à rejouer encore une fois un acte.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">Rentrer dans l’univers Martin Parr, sa planète… Une idée qui paraît de prime abord aussi prétentieuse que de vouloir faire une analyse stylistique de poèmes d’un Verlaine encore enfumé d’opium.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Et pourtant. D’une visite que l’on attend classiquement itinérante, on est finalement balloté d’une familiarité toute enfouie dans la fierté de se reconnaître aussi ludique que le Maître à une indifférence confondue car sans doute mal instruite devant des clichés d’Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Franck, Lee Friedlander ou autres Garry Winogrand.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">On est bien là. Quelque part, dans une intelligence toute pragmatique qui nous fait voir de l’image, celle des riches de Durban à Paris en passant par Los Angeles et Saint-Moritz ou celle de l’Angleterre dites d’aujourd’hui. Les thèmes sont simples et malgré tout, l’œil est attentif et l’esprit alerte. Loin d’une critique vulgaire et caricaturale, nous nous perdons dans une succession de clichés dont on fait mine de découvrir l’objet comme pour se rassurer d’être « quelqu’un de simple ». Cette réalité nous écorche parce que la « borderlinisation » nous effleure tous et pas uniquement quand on se rase le matin. L’œil pénètre dans une réalité sociale sans résignation.</p>
<div id="attachment_67" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.jeudepaume.org"><img class="size-medium wp-image-67" title="M. Parr. USA. Hollywood. &quot;Attendees at a charity function&quot;" src="http://rkalon.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/parr_luxury_6.jpg?w=300&#038;h=243" alt="Martin Parr - Luxury Series" width="300" height="243" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">© Martin Parr, Magnum Photos / Kamel Mennour</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">Rentrer dans la planète Martin Parr, c’est aussi s’arrêter fermement devant ces pièces de la Nouvelle Objectivité davantage munichoise où comme à de trop rares occasions, nous observons froidement , sans cette vicieuse acidité contestatrice même si cette apparente réalité sans fard nous projette les maux d’une société fatiguée.</p>
<div id="attachment_69" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-69 " title="Bernd und Hilla Becher, &quot;Châteaux d'eau&quot;" src="http://rkalon.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/1480becher11.jpg?w=300&#038;h=219" alt="Wassertürme, Water Towers, 1970-1998, courtesy K20K21 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen " width="300" height="219" /><p class="wp-caption-text">© Bernd und Hilla Becher, Düsseldorf, 2003</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">L’œil est ébloui par une expression éblouissante de pureté. Le jugement est libre, l’approche possiblement modeste.<br />
Loin d’un photo-journaliste destructeur et pourtant nécessaire, on apprend sans découvrir, on regarde sans avoir honte.<br />
On est en phase. Mieux documentés et divertis.</p>
