A catalogue Dessein d’eau for Saint-Cloud

Communic'Art has created a catalogue to accompagny the contemporary art stroll along water at the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud

“Dessein d’eau,” an artistic event based on the work of Agnès Pezeu, will be on view from May 11th to July 15th, 2006 at the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud and Ville d’Avray with the sponsorship of Nestlé Waters France.

Dessein_d_eauThe book created by Communic’Art is characterized by a number of texts facing photographs of the installations.

The catalogue presents an analytic and critical text by art historian Francis Parent, a text describing the stroll of the exhibition, and a historical one on the hydraulic network, both written by Leslie Lepers.

The photographs of the works, taken by Claude Gassian, enhance their aesthetical relationship with Nature and History.

This contemporary art stroll was conceived to reveal the large hydraulic network that stands as a historical link between the two locations.

For three centuries, the waters of Ville d’Avray have nourished the spectacle of fountains, sprays and falls that represent one of the main richness of the Domaine national de Saint-Cloud.

The stroll is materialized by a succession of works: monumental canvases are submerged in ponds or supdended in trees; mirrors made in surprising shapes and sizes are positionned on, in, and along the water; and engraved glass blocks are inlayed in the ground.

This catalogue is distributed by our partner PARIS MUSÉES in 300 bookstores in France, including 50 specialized with an Art section. The catalogue will be listed in over forty (40) professional databases, including Fnac, Amazon and Dilicom as well as in online bookstores.

The catalogue will also be distributed in Europe, North America, Canada and Eastern Europe

A catalogue Rosson Crow for Nathalie Obadia

Communic'Art has created for galerie Nathalie Obadia the first monograph on Rosson Crow, a young american artist

Galerie Nathalie Obadia publishes the first catalogue on Rosson Crow, a young american artist whose work is already in a number of French and American public and private collections.

CrowThe catalogue gathers a series of twenty works conceived between 2005 and 2006 – ten of which are reproduced on full pages and an introduction by New York art critic and curator Kathy Grayson, in French and English.

Born in 1982 in Dallas, Texas, Rosson Crow currently finishes her art studies at the prestigious Yale University.

She started showing her work in New York in 2004 and in 2005 got a solo exhibition at galerie Nathalie Obadia in Paris. In 2007, the artist is planning to come to live and work in Paris.

Rosson Crow shows a great aesthetic maturity and a very personal dreamlike world. Her large carvases are abstract representations of baroque environments (interior decors or outside landscapes).

Objects, furniture and people take distended shapes and seem to belong to a very strong let alone sometimes disturbing mental sphere, somehow echoing David Lynch’s movies.

Sharp colors, sometimes almost fluorescent, convey a crude and very contemporary tonality in the work. The technique used by the artist, a mixture of oil, paint and enamel, gives materiality, volume and intensity to the paintings. Rosson Crow’s work constantly oscillates between delight and delirium.

This catalogue is distributed by our partner PARIS MUSÉES in 300 bookstores in France, including 50 specialized with an Art section. The catalogue will be listed in over forty (40) professional databases, including Fnac, Amazon and Dilicom as well as in online bookstores.

The catalogue will also be distributed in Europe, North America, Canada and Eastern Europe

A catalogue Stella for gallerie Daniel Templon

Galerie Daniel Templon entrusted Communic’Art with the creation of Frank Stella’s exhibition catalogue Die Marquise von O.

The masterly piece by Frank Stella entitled Die Marquise von O. is exhibited for the first time in France at Galerie Daniel Templon. A catalogue conceived by Communic’Art accompanies this historical exhibition.

StellaBorn in 1936 in Massachusetts, Frank Stella was a pioneer in minimalist painting in the 1960s, and in the mid 1970s, took a more baroque, sculptural orientation, full of literary and historical references, such as Heinrich Von Kleist novella.

The originality of the brochure accompanying the exhibition resides in the fact that each of the seven panels composing Stella’s piece is reproduced, along with an image of the fresco in its entirety. Having both presented allows for a detailed as well as a global apprehension of the work.

By shooting the artworks digitally and having the colorimetry done on site, Commmunic’Art ensured an excellent outcome of the intensity of the colors and of the volumes of the elements.

Bilingual and elegant, Frank Stella Die Marquise von O. is essential to comprehend this major piece realized between 1998 and 2000.

This catalogue is distributed through the exclusive network that Communic’Art has established with its partner Catalogallery.com working with 50 bookstores in France with an Art books section, and with Amazon.fr.
