Following the style of the exhibition Soleil Froid at Palais de Tokyo, in the 4000 m2 area of Grand Palais, Paris, the exhibition Dynamo reveals how, over the last fifteen years, many artists have explored the notions of vision, space, light, structure and movement in their work, often encouraging visitors to take an active role in their installations: notable examples include the changing chromatic atmospheres of Olafur Eliasson and Ann Veronica Janssens, the vibrating structures and kaleidoscopic mirrors of Jeppe Hein and Anish Kapoor, and the in situ creations of Felice Varini.

Keith Haring – The Political Line
The Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, in association with Le CENTQUATRE, is devoting a wide-ranging retrospective to American artist Keith Haring (1958-1990). The exhibition will bear witness to the importance of Haring’s work, in particular its profoundly “political” content, apparent in his work throughout his career. Le CENTQUATRE takes the retrospective further, presenting a selection of Keith Haring’s monumental works, notably one of his most important series: The Ten Commandments, dating from 1985. Massive in scale – ten panels, each seven meters high – the works reveal the artist’s radical interpretation of the Decalogue.

The exhibition focuses on drawing as a medium of differentiation and structuring, as well as its function as draft, sketch, pattern or graffiti. All representative elements are repealed from Klaus Jörre’s canvases and the act of painting is reduced to structuring the images’ surface. The paintings are designed with strict geometrics, ocassionally varying vertical or horizontal lines in constant repetition. Their serial and sober order is interfered by seemingly arbitrary vandalization with spray paint.

We met in Paris the Italian artist Andrea Romano, currently having his solo show in at Gaudel de Stampa gallery, in Belleville. As explained by art critic Michele D’Aurizio:”On the occasion of his first solo exhibition at the gallery, Andrea Romano (b. 1984; lives in Milan) presents three art works—a felt-pen drawing on paper, a nylon sculpture, and a granite-framed pencil drawing on paper—all of which can all be seen as illegible signs aspiring to acquire the status of an icon.

Art Collectors: Fürstenberg Futura
“Being in touch with artists of our generation, understanding their motivation, ideas and working styles and supporting and promoting their development” – this was what Christian and Jeannette zu Fürstenberg had in mind when they launched the “Fürstenberg Zeitgenössisch” project in 2011. Both of them have art in their blood: Jeannette comes from a family of collectors in the Ruhr and Christian is an heir of the zu Fürstenberg dynasty, whose collections amassed over centuries can be viewed by the public at the family’s ancestral seat in Donaueschingen. The union of marriage brought two like-minded people together with one aim: “to continue the tradition and both live out and expand our passion for contemporary art.”
