ROUSSEAU, CALVIN, GENEVA

Wed, 16 May 2012 04:00:00 +0200 GMT

During the celebration of the tri-centennial of the birth of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the musée Jean Calvin sheds light on the various aspects of the links between the philosopher of Enlightenment and the great Reformer of the Renaissance. Rousseau's life was exceptionally rich and varied and here we follow it chronologically, from his Geneva origins to his wanderings throughout Europe, looking closely at the crucial moments of his moral and intellectual itinerary. The exhibition presents printed and hand written pieces from various origins, in particular from public libraries in Geneva and Neuchâtel, in Switzerland, as well as from the Société de l'histoire du protestantisme français (the Society of the history of French Protestantism) and the musée Jean-Jacques Rousseau in Montmorency, France.

TRACING THE GRID. THE GRID IN ART AFTER 1945

Mon, 14 May 2012 04:00:00 +0200 GMT

The grid defines art of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries like no other structure. For the avant-garde, for Piet Mondrian and the Bauhaus movement this has been extensively researched; however, the importance of the grid in art since 1945 has never been presented in an overview.

GLEIZES-METZINGER Cubism and after

Fri, 11 May 2012 01:00:00 +0200 GMT

The Adresse Musée de La Poste pays a tribute to the authors of the founding document Du Cubisme, that was determining in the discovery and the spreading of the movement in France and abroad, as well as to these two painters who remain today unfairly ill-known in spite of being admired by Apollinaire, André Salmon and a few others. Jean Metzinger, in particular, has never being exhibited in Europe since his death in 1956, which adds to the unique character of this event. What is also unique is the fact a museum shows them, for the first time, together.

DISSIDENT, BY UBIK

Tue, 08 May 2012 01:00:00 +0200 GMT

Sabrina Amrani Art Gallery hosts the first solo show in Europe of Dubai based artist UBIK (India, 1985) Dissident, a show that perverts with black humor and satire the classic codes of propaganda. A crossword trying to resolve the Israel-Palestinian conflict, bottles of Coca-Cola serving as Molotov cocktails or a shirt with revolutionary marketing guidelines. A personal view on the absurdities of the world order with which UBIK expected to infuse and spread his "own brand of propaganda." So defined by the artist,"post-recession anarchist tendencies that make people smile ... or shake."
