Pierre et Gilles
Le Génie du Christianisme
Couvent des Minimes, Perpignan
été 2018
Cette exposition vise à présenter une série d’œuvres anciennes et inédites ayant le sacré religieux pour point commun. Se développe ainsi une imagerie pieuse mais prise au filet des poses marquées et des couleurs ultra saturées de Pierre et Gilles. La chapelle désacralisée, dont les fresques murales sont masquées en attente d’une restauration, retrouve ainsi sa vocation mystique le temps de l’exposition du duo français. Loin d’être une provocation, l’exposition montre ainsi que l’imagerie religieuse de Pierre et Gilles perçue à travers une douzaine de grands formats s’inscrit parfaitement dans un cadre traditionnel et renvoie clairement à la sensualité déjà présente dans les peintures de la renaissance.
Souvenir (Isabelle Huppert), Pierre et Gilles, 2016, photographie imprimée par jet d’encre sur toile et peinte, 119 x 167 cm.

David Lynch
Works on Paper
Chapelle du Tiers Ordre, Perpignan
été 2017
David Lynch, connu pour ses films et séries, se pense avant tout comme un artiste, un peintre surtout. Son œuvre gravé est né de la rencontre avec les mythiques ateliers ITEM à Paris. Lynch y produit des séries d’œuvres complexes, obscures et mystiques, à l’image de son univers. Ses dessins ont été exposés pour la première fois à la Fondation Cartier en 2007. Ici c’est son œuvre gravé qui est mis en lumière à travers vingt-cinq lithographies récentes. Formes abstraites, symboles, énoncés mystérieux construisent en filigrane une narration où l’inquiétude se mêle à l’ironie.
Cette exposition de David Lynch est accompagnée d’un texte inédit de Mark Alizart.

Exhibitions
David Lynch
Works on Paper
Chapelle du Tiers Ordre, Perpignan
Summer 2017
David Lynch, best known for his movies and TV shows, thinks himself first as an artist, and especially a painter.
His engraved work was born from the meeting with the mythical workshops ITEM in Paris. Lynch produced a series of complex, dark, and mystical work, that reflect the image of his universe. His drawings had been exposed for the first time at the Fondation Cartier in 2007. During this exhibition, this is his engraved work that is highlighted through twenty-five recent lithographs. Abstract shapes, symbols, mysterious statements do build a narration where the worry mingles with irony.
David Lynch's exhibition is accompanied by an original text by Mark Alizart.
Jean-Michel Alberola
Scénarios
Galerie du FILAF, Perpignan
Summer 2017
Whether it takes the shape of a painting, an engraving, or films, Jean-Michel Alberola's work is covered by literature and philosophy. We thus find the borrowing of texts by Benjamin, Marx, Kafka, or Stevenson. Through the exhibitions of his art books and several recent plays, neons, and engravings, the Scénarios exhibitions come back on the intimate relationship between the work and the text.

Director at the Flemish television, he is known for his essays about plastic arts, architecture, and literature. His work, unique testimony, still participates in the art, architecture, and urbanism debates.
