PAINTING WITH PICASSO

Koen Theys
The image of Picasso, wearing only a swimsuit while painting a few masterpieces a day, became maybe the biggest myth of 20th century art. In any case a lot of photographers depicted him that way. Koen Theys rassembled different of those photographs of Picasso while he was painting, and erased the painting as well as the interior of the photo, so that only Picasso with his brush was left...

SUITE

Joëlle de La Casinière - Michel Bonnemaison
Although filmed and conceived during the same stay in Lima (1975) as ‘Rose de Lima’, ‘Suite’ is a completely different aesthetic proposal.

AS SOL TO EVA

Teresa Cos
The appropriation of the famous letter that Sol LeWitt wrote in 1965 to artist and friend Eva Hesse is at the center of this work. In what seems to be a Skype conversation with a distant friend -wearing a t-shirt printed with LeWitt’s hand drawing as it appears on the manuscript- the letter becomes a two way pep talk in the mouth of an online oracle...
