Afrique, l'art sans frontières, Espace Gilbert Alauzet, Rieupeyroux, France from 06/02/17 to 07/26/17 ![]() Guy Lenoir est un homme singulier qui depuis plus de trente ans, tisse des liens étroits avec l'Afrique. Au sein de cette exposition, une constellation d'artistes nous accueille, dont certains ont acquis une reconnaissance internationale. Mais l'un des atouts majeurs de la collection de Guy Lenoir est de faire écho à une actualité culturelle abondante.
L'Afrique souffre d'une image intemporelle, figée, proche de la nature, éloignée de la modernité. Dans l'inconscient collectif, les artistes sont assimilés à des artisans reproduisant des gestes et des schémas ancestraux. Sans doute les reliquats d'une pensée post-colonialiste. Guy Lenoir ne parle pas de l'Afrique, mais des afriques. Il nous offre un regard neuf et curieux sur ce continent vigoureux et inventif, où les pratiques artistiques sont aussi diverses que les 54 pays qui le constituent. Tel un fleuve et ses affluents, cette exposition forme un seul et même corps à travers des créations venues des quatre coins du continent, charriant des morceaux d'Histoire et de mythes. |

The various narratives span between colonialism and its ramifications to a re-examination of the African body, landscape and culturethrough utterances that shatter the usual distinction between truth and fiction, between myth and science, between technology and spirituality.

Malick Sidibé, Jack Shainman Gallery, NY, USA from 03/17/16 to 04/23/16 Jack Shainman Gallery is pleased to announce Malick Sidibés sixth solo exhibition at the gallery, which chronicles this living master's iconic career, beginning in 1950s Bamako, Mali, where he still lives and works. Many of this diverse selection of vintage and contemporary black-and-white prints have never before been exhibited, yet solidify Sidibé's lasting influence in today's art world. Street scenes and studio shots, while formally distinct from each other, all capture a pervasive sense of freedom and identity amongst youth in postcolonial Mali and continue to speak to a shared spirit of modernity and diaspora. While internationally acclaimed for his formal portrait studio and candid shots of exuberant parties and nightclubs, Malick Sidibé presents lesser known works to provide context for the depth of the artists diverse practice. Street scenes and images like Horloger dans son Atelier (1963/2008) and Le Technicien de Radio Mali (1966/2008) capture everyday Malians at their jobs with the same intensity of the iconic studio work, while featuring subjects comfortably in their element.

Malick Sidibé, Sherrick & Paul Gallery, Nashville, USA from 11/05/15 to 01/09/16 This Thursday, Wedgewood-Houstons Sherrick & Paul will debut its long-running winter exhibition by West African photographer Malick Sidibé. The show features 40 black-and-white photographic prints that date from 1962 to 1978. Born in Mali in 1936, Sidibé is known for capturing the energetic lives and culture of his native Bamako, Mali, in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. From scenes of timid teenage dances and young marriages to classically posed portraiture, Sidibés images center around the youth of Mali and offer an intimate glimpse into a spirited era rarely depicted in contemporary photography. Sidibé photographed people in the streets, nightclubs and sporting events, in addition to running a formal portrait studio. The resulting images are kinetic and expansive, pulsing with a genuine sense of energy, movement and vivaciousness. At its best, his work encapsulates the endlessly enchanting, inevitably fleeting magic of adolescence. I admire all of it, said gallery director Susan Sherrick of Sidibés work. She first discovered his photographs in a 2003 exhibition at Jack Shainman Gallery in New York City. The images are joyful, fun, stylish and beautiful. You see one or many of those qualities in all his images. Source: The Tennessean | ![]() |
