subject: Sorin Burine Buren [print this page] Pierrick Sorin French is the genius of video art. His exhibition at the Galerie Albert Benamou shows that dance now on an equal footing with the great artists of our time.
Video artist, stage designer and director, Pierrick Sorin exhibited for the first time at Galerie Albert Benamou in Paris. PierrickIs a bit the enfant terrible of the video, revealed in the mid-90s to play his pictures where the artist gets most of the time on stage. If his videos were funny, grotesque, not really serious, and were hopelessly thinking about the famous antics Mr BeanThey included a real reflection on our society, its ridiculous and wrong.
The artist signs in recent years staged and stage sets for shows, and has created a video to play Rene upset, Directed by Jean-Michel Ribes at the Theatre du Rond Point (until October 29), is the artistic director of the exhibition Toys and men at the Grand Palais (until January 23), and will be the director and set designer Pop'pea, Version of pop rock Coronation of Poppea in the Chatelet Theater in May 2012.
Quite busy, Mr Sorin ! We then show you your current exhibition? If, with 9 rooms and thirty photographs, it is certainly not a retrospective, the confrontation of works created since the early 2000s to the present day is not without interest. In his view Theatre in 2000, entitled 143 erotic positions, A naked man (the artist himself!) Mime number of scenes that could leave the Kamasutra, His partner being a duffel bag! Another optical Theatre from 2001, called Choreography aquaticMade in a Pierrick Sorin miniature in a real aquarium in the middle of real fish! The same idea is repeated in 2010 in theAquarium to dancers where, this time they are go-go dancers that took place in the aquarium, fun course, but the idea does not surprise more! In the same year, Sorin endorses the clothes Jacques Tati and walk, a kind of hologram of a vinyl disc that runs on a portable vintage, almost exact recovery of a piece from 2001! The Virtual Fireplace, In which burning books on conceptual art, has for its strong sense of deja vu. The artist run out of steam it over hot coals inextinguishable?
Much more interesting are the 2 dripsThis video installation that shows a triptych in which jets of paint of different colors show an abstract painting in progress, laying a detached view of painting and the creative act. The Domage in Buren of 2011 is a cover of the same video technology, a large screen simulating drips of paint on blue and white stripes, so dear to Buren: Another approach to the work of the great artist and his inevitable scratches, critical and why not admiring (?), at least tribute / injury / damage, damn exhilarating!
