Prédiction and Retrospection, Ding Yi

Venue: Auditorium Oscar Niemeyer

Drawing upon Eastern philosophy and Western aesthetics, the exhibition presents 30 works on canvas, wood and paper, created over the last forty years, both experimental, process-based and traditional approaches to contemporary painting. During his long career, Ding has applied such methodology in his studio practice to explore personal and societal cross-cultural perspectives in relation to fast-paced development, urban environment and human culture in general.

L’Éloquence des Larmes, Claire Tabouret

Venue: Pavillon Renzo Piano

The artist returns to the region of his birth to exhibit a number of recent works: on canvas, bronze and ceramics resulting from his first collaboration with the Sèvres workshops. In her figurative paintings, drawings and sculptures, Claire Tabouret explores the question of identity, taking a closer look at childhood and its enigmas, the individual in isolation or within a group. For this exhibition, she will be tackling an important theme in the history of art: the mourners. The artist makes the link between the painful news of the day and the history of the representation of tears of mourning, ecstasy or suffering, always associated with women.
