Press release

ROBERT BREER & MARK GEFFRIAUD

And also,

ART FILM, Wednesday June 10, Films by ROBERT BREER: "Recreation" and "Fuji"

ART FILM, Saturday June 13, DEIMANTAS NARKEVICIUS "The Dud Effect"

The exhibition we have conceived for Art Premiere is based on an original encounter between the work of two artists of different generations, Robert Breer (b. 1926 in Detroit, Michigan, lives and works in Tucson, USA) and Mark Geffriaud (b. 1977 in Vitry sur Seine, lives and works in Paris, France), whose works test the way artworks may appear and be perceived. In their works, both artists try to thwart the presence of a unique point of view, revealing an unstable present that is part of a continuous flow. The look of the spectator is in this way constantly veered, his point of view unceasingly displaced.

A leaflet with an interview between Robert Breer and Mark Geffriaud has been realized for the occasion. You can download it here.

For the past forty years, Robert Breer has been thwarting formal categories and producing a many-facetted and independent body of work (sculpture, painting, drawings, film). His motorized sculptures activate the space around them and structure the viewer's time-frame, with their extremely slow, almost impalpable movement and their random trajectory. Exploring in this sense the experience of a movement, from an extreme slowness in his sculptures to an amazing fastness in his films which play with our retinal persistence, Robert Breer’s work tests and shifts our ways of seeing, questions our perception and breaks our habits with representation.

Focusing on images and forms’ apparition (circulation) and disappearance (oblivion), Mark Geffriaud’s works draw a fragmented archaeology, a climate of thoughts in which the viewer is invited to project his own stories. Although different and separated by forty years, the works of these two artists question the way we look at objects, images and artworks, inviting us to experiment a flow, within a space-time unceasingly redefined.

What they both propose, is not only a reflection on what our eyes are seeing, but on the way of seeing according to the spirit.
