Aran Cravey Gallery presents: Guy Yanai Accident Nothing

Aran Cravey Gallery presents: Guy Yanai Accident Nothing TEL AVIV (AHAD HAAM), 2013, oil on linen 165 x 165 cm ( 65 x 65”) Exhibition Dates: December 12, 2013 - February 15, 2014 Opening Reception: December 12, 7-9 PM The artist will be in attendance. November 14, 2013 (Los Angeles, CA) — Aran Cravey Gallery is pleased to presentAccident Nothing, the inaugural exhibition of the gallery’s new Hollywood location and the first solo show of Israel-based artist, Guy Yanai. Accident Nothing, featuring 18 new paintings by the artist, provides insight into a new tendency in his work to reflect states of mind that are unfurled, raw and defenseless—states of apprehension comparable to the lucidity and sobriety one experiences at the aftermath of an accident. Best described as a painter’s painter, Guy Yanai has carved out a special niche amongst the Israeli art scene, where mainly installation, performance and new media art has proliferated. Today's art operates within a field of disenchantment and cynicism, which is true of painting in particular. Yanai's painting too corresponds to an age of commodified goods and consumerism, whether via its material objects or ubiquitous images, but there is a simplicity and a naiveté to his love of painting. A love that is perhaps the driving force behind his prolific output. His work derives, then, not from the dark pits but from the fountain; not from desperation but from faith. Yanai maintains a devout studio practice, painting daily, and it is precisely this routine that conditions the extraordinary quality that we see in his work. Painting occurs not just on the canvas but also as a way of seeing, and where loss of control is far more prevalent than control. This sudden grasp of life's fragility and arbitrariness points to a further realization, namely that painting itself is no less arbitrary. And what's more, not only does Yanai paint his 'nothings' daily, but he does so with the compulsive fervor of a religious ritual, at once the most ardent believer and the greatest of heretics. "Why is it that nothing hurts so much?" he asks. The paintings reflect this existential state of solitude. The figures and details, whether concretized or abstract, figure alone at the center of paintings, neither proud nor seductive, neither willowy nor collapsed under pressure. They are simply there, carrying the weight of the painting. The color palette, in the shades of sunrises and sunsets, is both soothing and bold, suggesting neither day nor night, an everywhere as much as a nowhere. These are voids – a void that dominates the smaller paintings in particular, whose format is still square. The term 'abstract' suggests itself here, but 'nothing' would be more fitting. Their forms, though alluding to the subjects they draw on, do not betray them fully. In their immediacy and abruptness, accidents lend themselves to destructive significations that concern both the body and the mind. A crash shatters. Seen in the context of painting, the artist's fateful hand may burst barriers and break through solidified working patterns; It may reinvent and renovate. Accident Nothing speaks directly from the heart of the unconscious, it is the irresponsible, liberating deed, a breaking away from one's familiar comfort zone. It is also prosaic and defiant, turning the painting around like an overturned car, adding further layers of meaning, validity and interpretation. In conjunction with the show, the gallery has produced an artist’s book by the same name, ACCIDENT NOTHING. The book includes 11 drawings created for the occasion, as well as studio shots of the process, installation shots, a critical essay by Hila Cohen-Scheiderman, an in depth interview by Noam Segal, and all the plates from the show.  The book is beautifully designed by Nadav Shalev. About the Artist Born 1977 in Haifa, Israel, Guy Yanai currently lives and works in Tel Aviv. He attended Parsons School of Design and the New York Studio School, and received a BFA from Hampshire College, Amherst, MA. Yanai has had exhibitions at the Jerusalem Studio School Gallery, Gallery 33, Tel Aviv; A.L.I.C.E. Gallery, Brussels; Alon Segev Gallery, Tel Aviv; Rothschild 69 project, Tel Aviv; HangarBicocca, Milan; The Spaceship on Hayarkon 70, Tel Aviv; and Sommer Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv. In 2013 Yanai exhibited in a solo show at the Velan Center for Contemporary Art in Torino, a group show at Charlotte Fogh in Denmark, and a solo show at La Montagne Gallery in Boston in addition to his forthcoming solo show of new work at Aran Cravey Gallery, and collaborated with designer Scott Sternberg for the fashion label Band of Outsiders’ 2014 Resort Collection. About Aran Cravey Gallery Aran Cravey Gallery exhibits work by emerging and mid-career artists that engages the viewer in a conversation that goes beyond the work itself, into a dialogue that participates with the past and present, giving insight to the future. The gallery will open its new location in Hollywood, December 2013. #fineartmagazine

LA SERRE at mfc2 by LA VILLE RAYÉE

	mfc-michèle didier
	LA SERRE  at mfc2 by  LA VILLE RAYÉE Exhibition from Friday November 22, 2013 to Saturday January 4, 2014  Opening Thursday November 21, 2013 from 6 pm to 9 pm       Poster of the exhibition LA SERRE at mfc2 by LA VILLE RAYÉE  Graphic design by Martin Bachelier, invited by La Serre x1 at mfc2 by x2  = a new concept of exhibition at mfc-michèle didier  For two years now, mfc-michèle didier gallery in Paris has been dedicated to presenting the productions made by the eponym publisher. Since its opening, it has also the purpose of fostering the reflection on the specific discipline of the artist’s book. Furthermore, the gallery offers the possibility to enhance the importance and the role of ephemeras as well as published, multiplied works in contemporary art. In this regard, mfc-michèle didier introduces in November 2013 a new project: mfc2. mfc2 is based on the principle of the invitation. La Serre is x1 La Serre, view of the exhibition Intelligentsia,  Ecole nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts (ENSBA), Paris Greenhouse — 285 × 373 × 240 cm The bookshop La Serre was conceived in 2012 upon the initiative of four Paris fine arts students, based on the following observation: artists produce on their own quality books that they have a hard time distributing or placing on display. So they imagined La Serre (literally «The Glasshouse»), a mobile and lightweight architectural structure, totally transparent, able to grow as quickly as a mushroom. Upon mfc-michèle didier’s invitation, La Serre will settle up for the winter at 66 rue Notre-Dame de Nazareth in Paris during a month and a half. La Serre will display a selection of its fund, which will evolve in the course of the exhibition. The gallery will also invite five of La Serre’s displayed artists to extend the content of their publications in the space-time framed by the exhibition in a gallery. On this occasion, La Serre schedules a series of performances that will take place each Thursday at 7 pm at the gallery. - Franziska Kabisch, le 21 novembre - Soufiane Ababri, le 28 novembre - aalliicceelleessccaanne&ssoonniiaaddeerrzzyyppoollsskkii, le 5 décembre - Tania Gheerbrandt, le 12 décembre - Louise Siffert, le 19 décembre The term of the exhibition has been established according to a cycle during which the interventions will co-exist and get activated one after the other. There will be five performances, performed lectures, activations, readings, starting from one or more art works, that have been previously published, printed or simply projected. La Ville Rayée is x2 La Ville Rayée, Adventures Close to Home, 2010 Edition Gallery S. Bensimon, Paris La Ville Rayée is a group founded in 2006, consisting of three architects, David Apheceix, Benjamin Lafore and Sébastien Martinez Barat. Considering architecture as a broad field gathering multiple types of exercises, La Ville Rayée’s work converges between theoretical prospection and pragmatic challenge. A selection of mfc-michèle didier’s publications will be placed on one of their creations:Adventures Close to Home. Adventures Close to Home is a series of monofunctionnal tables in whitened ash. Display of a single object: a cup-table, a PC-table, a plant-table and thus in the context of the exhibition at the gallery, a book-table. It’s as if the tables were domestic totems. Playing with intermediary scales and the use’s specificity, this series of five tables that can be lined up and combined at home create a singular scenery. Assembled, the tables form a mobile object with sculptural shapes. Dissembled, they resonate each other and give rise to objects that are placed on the stage of these delicate pedestals. They will be presented individually, offering for each of mfc-michèle didier’s production an autonomous reading. The five tables of Adventures Close to Home are all mediums for familiar uses, endless compositions where extreem functionalism meets the reminiscence of architectural patterns. If you have any further question, please contact us by email info@micheledidier.com or by phone +33 1 71 97 49 13.  We are looking forward to seeing you on this occasion.  #fineartmagazine
