ART IS A HUMANISM
We currently live in an unprecedented financial crisis and the Artworld is not untouched.
In such a context, temptation for withdrawal often comes first. Wrongly…
In these times of doubt in which all is questioned, the artists -as always- contribute to enrich and renew our look on the world.
More than ever galleries, art dealers, museums and foundations must be on their side to promote their work and be an intermediate between the public and the art professionals.
Explaining, communicating, teaching, gathering and sharing with the artists and their works is more than ever necessary and stimulating.
Catalogues, monographs, websites, blogs are and will be the marks of this lasting engagement so that everyone is confronted to his own vision of the world.
“ Art is the shortest way from Man to Man”, wrote Malraux…

LA RENTREE DE JEANNE Bucher – JAEGER BUCHER
art contemporain-medium verre-strasbourg venise
En 2010 et 2011, l’ESGAA (European Studio Glass Art Association), organise deux manifestations d’art contemporain d’envergure, à Venise et Strasbourg :
L’international Strasbourg Glass Prize et la Biennale Internationale du Verre, qui se tiendra simultanément à Strasbourg et Venise.
Le 15 septembre 2010,
lancement de la seconde édition de
l’International Strasbourg Glass Prize
avec le concours de la Banque CIC Est
La 1e édition de l’International Strasbourg Glass Prize a connu, en 2009, un réel succès avec plus d’une centaine de candidatures et un écho international “qui s’est étendu jusqu’au Japon, en Corée et aux Etats-Unis” constate Laurent Schmoll, président de l’association ESGAA, organisateur de l’évènement.
Sur le thème “Hors limites”, le concours est ouvert à toute personne majeure travaillant le médium du verre et présentant une œuvre originale et unique. Le dossier de candidature, téléchargeable sur le site www.biennaleduverre.eu, doit être complété et renvoyé à l’association entre le 15 septembre et le 31 décembre 2010.
Ce prix récompense d’un chèque de 5 000 € une création originale réalisée à partir du médium verre
Il sera attribué par un jury réunissant, au printemps 2011, trois membres de l’ESGAA, deux conservateurs de musée d’art, un conservateur de musée d’Art Contemporain, un membre de la Banque CIC Est et un artiste.
Le prix sera remis au lauréat lors d’une réception au siège de la Banque CIC Est à Strasbourg où l’œuvre sera exposée.
Au travers de ce concours d’envergure internationale, il s’agit de promouvoir la reconnaissance du verre comme matériau de création à part entière.
De 3 juin au 28 novembre 2011,
la Biennale Internationale du Verre investit Strasbourg et Venise,
deux villes emblématiques des relations entre le médium verre et l’art
C’est résolument tournée vers l’Europe et la scène artistique contemporaine que se tiendra la IIe Biennale Internationale du Verre.
Créée par l’ESGAA en partenariat avec la ville de Strasbourg et la région Alsace, la Biennale prend une ampleur internationale et s’associe avec la région Vénétie.
D’une durée de six mois, cette seconde édition évoluera sur deux lieux géographiques
fortement liés à l’histoire du matériau verre :
- à Venise et à Murano, durant l’été 2011, en écho à la Biennale d’art contemporain de Venise.
- à Strasbourg et dans la région Alsace-Lorraine, durant l’automne 2011, au moment du salon d’art contemporain St-Art.
A cette occasion, plusieurs lieux privés et publics seront investis, répondant, par leur variété, au foisonnement formel des œuvres et des expositions. Ainsi, installations, sculpture, vidéos, photographies déclineront-elles les potentialités infinies du médium verre.
Forts des précédents succès de la manifestation Strasbourg Capitale du verre et de la 1e édition de la Biennale qui lui a succédé en 2009, les organisateurs poursuivent leur volonté de promouvoir le verre en tant que médium artistique, source de création contemporaine.
Une quinzaine d’artistes européens contemporains proposeront leurs créations et seront exposés en France et en Italie. La cohésion du projet sera assurée par un commissaire d’exposition unique pour les manifestations italiennes et françaises.
Dates clés :
- Du 15 septembre au 31 décembre 2010 : candidatures à l’International Strasbourg Art Prize.
- Du 3 juin au 28 novembre 2011 : Biennale Internationale du Verre à Venise et à Strasbourg.

Schimansky’s exhibition prolonged until 09/25
Initially planned until July 17th, 2010, the Hanns Schimansky’s exhibition La Ligne Claire, in the gallery Jaeger Bucher, has been prolonged until Sept. 25th, 2010.
Since May 29th, the German artist Hanns Schimansky is showing 40 drawings made between 2007 and 2010.
These drawings, written as much as drawn, attempt to capture and to prolong the present moment, to mirror the rythm of the universe. Using and provoking the idea of chance, he metaphorically slows the headlong speed at which we live in today’s world, dominated as it is by the media. Geometric shapes and intercrossing, looping lines, accentuated by the folds in the paper he uses, from Schymansky’s unmistakeable energetic graphic style.
Hanns Schimansky was born in 1949 in East Germany. Trained as an agronomist engineer, he decided in 1979 to devote his career to art and more particularly to drawing.
The gallery Jaeger Bucher entrusted Communic’art with the media campaign. The gallery is opened from Tuesday to Saturday from 2 pm till 7 pm untill July 17th, and by appointment from July 20th to 24th. Elle ouvrira à nouveau dès le 1er septembre 2010.

EMERGENCE, the good plan for young galleries
SHOW OFFís ìEmergenceî section is dedicated to featuring young emerging galleries with less than three years of experience under their belts. With SHOW OFFís new commitment to Solo Shows, young galleries will have a unique opportunity to feature a single artist and create a solo show of their work. 12m2 booths at an all-inclusive affordable price make Show Offís section for emerging galleries one not to be missed.

The Russiantearoom Gallery opened its doors in Paris in 2007, dedicated to promoting the work of contemporary Russian artists throughout Europe.
Director Liza Fetissova will present the work of Dmitry Sokolenko at SHOW OFFís 2010 fair.
Born in 1977 in Russia, the microbiologist-turned-photographer works with simple forms of points and lines on a plane, complicating these seemingly simple forms with carefully chosen titles that invoke deeper semantic questions and complicate the space between the verbal and the visual.

Room Art Space opened in 2008 under Sandie Macrae, and will feature at SHOW OFF the work of the young British artist Gordon Cheung. Raised in London, Cheung’s works traverses cultures through a juxtaposition of images, symbols and ideas from a diverse range of sources.
Cheung’s diverse use of material recalls the globalized world at the crux of illusion and disillusion. He won the prize Laing Art Solo in July 2007 and his works are part of international collections in the Hirshhorn Museum, Museum Whitworth or the ASU Art Museum.
