@galleryweekendberlin: Do not miss the opening of Jelena Bulajic’s solo exhibition at the gallery on Friday, 11 September, 4 - 9 pm!
.
"Jelena Bulajic’s multi-media paintings both emerge from and induce states of immersion. Her approach mirrors Antoni Tapies’ claim that “to achieve contact with reality is not to transport oneself elsewhere, it is not transcendence but thorough immersion in one’s surroundings.” The reality that Tapies describes is neither purely physical nor metaphysical, but both at once. The subjects of Bulajic’s paintings emerge from people, scenes, or objects viewed in her day-to-day life. When the artist began making the meticulously detailed large-scale portraiture that she is best known for, she found her subjects almost as if through a magnetic pull. A facial feature or expression compelled her to come closer, to linger on their face—an intuitive and affective operation reflected in the outsize proportions of many of her works and the emphasis that she places on surface."

For Gallery Weekend Berlin, Jelena Bulajic will present her latest works in a new solo exhibition at the gallery.
.
"Jelena Bulajic’s paintings flesh out the profound depth of the human countenance, formally exploring tactility and surface with a unique mix of materials including marble dust, ground granite, limestone and kaolin. In her portraiture, Bulajic’s approach to her subjects is observational: concerned with capturing the passage of time and the effects of individual histories, the gaze from within the paintings is presented without narrative or commentary. More recently Bulajic has extended traditional notions of portraiture beyond the human character – expanding her treatment of surface as a dualistic reflection of physical layers: human skin, water, the sky as well as the paint itself on the canvas is the “life material” of the work. Committed to the physicality of her materials, she plays with control and lack thereof in an uncompromising negotiation of surface tension and quality to produce meaning."

#Elsewhere: Emily Wardill is part of the Film screening, Formula for Fantasy, curated by Dasha Birukova at @galeriasmunicipais in Lisbon, with "The Palace", on Thursday, 9 July at 9 pm
.
"«The Palace» (2013) by Emily Wardill plays with a materiality of «analogue» and the abstraction of the «digital». Where the analogue projects an aesthetic of the digital, surrounded by the mail voice describing the psychological and perceptual states beneath which concrete particulars become clouded, an experience of monochromacy is unable to perceive colors."
.
"Fantasy is a special consequence of imagination, the primary content of unconscious mental processes, the designation of lucid dreams and inventions. Lacan defines fantasy as the support of the supposed reality, as an imaginary scenario that gives stability to human existence and structures our desire. At the same time, fantasy represents not only the structure of human existence, but also the whole basis of the existence of social reality.
The real is a sort of chimerical entity that does not possess any ontological stability, it is a traumatic «event», the point of failure of symbolization, producing its illusory presence of structural changes in the symbolic reality of the subject.
The formula for fantasy aimed to create an imaginary scenario that fills the uncertainty, the gap in the desire of the Other. Fantasy sets the framework in which the subject is able to desire."

#EmilyWardill #FilmScreening
Until 20 September 2020 at les Abattoirs, Toulouse
.
Les Abattoirs are pleased to welcome the first stop of Laure Prouvost's touring pavilion for the 58th edition of the Venice Biennial.
Laure Prouvost’s project for the French Pavilion, entitled Deep See Blue Surrounding You / Vois ce bleu profond te fondre, is structured around three main themes that provide reference points for the exhibition’s development. First of all, there is a reflection surrounding concepts of generations and identities, what links or distances us from each other: the eldest from the youngest, the neighbour from the stranger. Next comes the idea of disconnection, incomprehension and discrepancy, namely by means of an exploration of language and its appropriation, or misappropriation. Finally, tinged with utopia and surrealism, Laure Prouvost’s project is committed to representing an escapist journey, both tangible and imaginary, towards an ideal elsewhere. The exhibition takes the form of an invitation to melt into a liquid and tentacular universe amongst the different unveiled and shared realities, which intermingle here.
