Du 5 avril au 19 mai 2012
Vernissage le jeudi 5 avril 2012 en présence de l’artiste
La Galerie Pascal Gabert présente une nouvelle exposition d’Al Martin, intitulée «Les sens, pas l’essence».
‘Quant à Al Martin, son « entrée en matière » allait réellement consister à entrer dans la matière de la peinture, l’huile et l’acrylique. Il le ferait afin d’explorer puis d’exprimer leurs qualités intrinsèques et la plasticité de leurs états, tour à tour solides, liquides, rugueuses ou onctueuses, pelliculaires et élastiques, cassantes, friables, voire réduites en poussière. Façon de se demander ce que la peinture pouvait encore, à quoi il ne tarderait pas à répondre : « L’acrylique ça se colle, ça se ponce, ça se superpose, ça se découpe, les bords, ça retient, ça bourrellette, ça dépose ; l’huile, c’est long au séchage, ça se grave, ça se met en paquet ; le support ça se découpe, ça se déforme, etc.» De cet enfouissement au sein de la matière, il allait dégager un ensemble de gestes capables d’en exalter les propriétés : des gestes-germes très simples, quoique minutieusement exécutés, et dénués de toute virtuosité comme de toute complaisance pour leurs effets superficiels immédiats. Son sens plastique est né de ce savoir manuel.’

Benoît Cousin
Painter
Born on the 3rd of December 1962 in Valenciennes (France). Graduated in « Beaux-Arts » school in 1987.
Benoit Cousin is currently working on two themes, “Sale Gamine” and “Ecce Homo”.
Sale Gamine is an English high school student, emerging from adolescence; her voluptuous physique and her innocence place her in-between the bomber pin-up ( central to nose art ) and the manga or hentai heroin. Coming from the middle class, Sale Gamine is feisty, insolent, clumsy and has the temper of a starving pitbull. In brief a proper hoodlum in a skirt. But Sale Gamine is becoming a woman. If only the gal was aware of it ?
Collective and Individual exhibitions in France, Germany, England and Belgium since 1987.
Opening of a workshop gallery : La Villa Saint Ghislain.

The exhibition displays items from the everyday prison life at the GDR, but also rare testimonies of the resistance of political prisoners. Among the objects is a holed shaver, with which secret messages were transported, as well as a Monopoly game made by the prisoners. Also prison books with hidden finger nail markings and a knife made out of a toothbrush are shown.

Exhibitions
District : 78 – Yvelines
Château de Versailles
Member of the Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau
From February 14 2012 to May 13 2012
Description :
Louis-François Lejeune (1775-1848), whose 14 paintings are conserved by the Palace of Versailles reveal an original painter, and a unique nineteenth century figure. Indeed, he conducted several careers in his lifetime that encompassed the arts, the military and politics.
From the siege of Charleroi in 1794 until the Battle of Borodino, his works are primarily historical documents tracing his involvement in the military. The artist is the subject of an exhibition the Palace of Versailles in 2012.
The exhibition aims to show how a painting is developed from the history of military observation, topographic records and fragmentary compositions. All forms of reporting are addressed to analyse the place of historical truth in the spectacle of war.

Hear Bernstein’s beautiful score for West Side Story played live while watching the iconic film at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
West Side Story at the Royal Albert Hall
Last year marked 50 years since Leonard Bernstein’s film of his stage musical West Side Story hit cinema screens. The Romeo and Juliet-inspired story of young star-crossed lovers Maria and Tony picked up 10 Academy Awards on its release, and has enchanted audiences ever since.
In this special showing at the Royal Albert Hall the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra plays Bernstein’s score live, while the remastered film is shown in high definition with the original vocals and dialogue.
The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra is conducted by Jayce Ogren.

No water, no electricity, no heating? What on earth motivates graphic artists, teachers and engineers to give up good jobs and move to live in derelict isolated houses in Brandenburg? In many cases a new start is what they are looking for.
In forty photo and text portraits collected between 2002 and 2008 photographer and journalist Roland Köhler tells the stories of these modern settlers. What they have in common is their search for new freedoms and ways of living, which they discover, adopt and shape in their own personal ways.
The Uckermark region in the north-eastern corner of Brandenburg is one of Germany’s most thinly populated regions. Despite being a popular holiday destination, the area has suffered a steady process of depopulation. The fateful consequences are well-known: jobs, schools, village shops, pubs and cinemas disappear. In some parts the letterbox is the last surviving public service for those who remain, mostly the old. In some cases whole villages have been abandoned and left to decay. The new arrivals show us how they have been literally putting the life back into a region that appeared to have been completely written off. They reveal their backgrounds, motivations and experiences, making no secret of setbacks and disappointments. Some are seeking peace and quiet in a rural idyll, others hoping to spare their children the stress, noise and fumes of the city. Or they simply found their personal paradise by accident in the “Tuscany of the north”. They tell of hard work in residential, business and cultural projects, and not least of the fascination exerted by the landscape and natural environment of their new home, the Uckermark.
