HUBERT MAROT is a french artist who has been making pictures since a couple of years that exploit the photography’s underlying properties. His working process is based on a combination of formal, conceptual, and historical concerns, that questions the material premises of photography and the nature of abstraction, as well as the production and valuation of art.

Titled The Blueprint, MAROT‘ solo exhibition at paris20 featured a recent body of works that comprises cyanotype and Polaroid pieces. For example, CY (2014) is a series of five works on canvas that use the cyanotype process, a photographic technique referred to as ‘blueprint’, which was mainly used for scientific images. In this printing process a support coated with an iron-based light-sensitive chemical is exposed to light, which turns it blue. The canvas are exposed to incident light for a constant period of time, whereby ultimately the various external conditions are what produce the picture. These works, though photographs, have a painterly feel and therefore seesaw back and forth between gestural abstraction and dry conceptualism.

I have little respect for photography precisely because of this notion of reproduction, it makes me very uncomfortable. That’s why I’m very rigorous in the way I create an image, even in the most material sense. It is imperative that I place a sense of value in what I produce, and I am only able to see this value when I apply a rigorous and exacting process. – HUBERT MAROT in conversation with GUILLAUME BLANC for ASX Paris, April 2013

Contact by OLAFUR ELIASSON at Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris

–

This is a view from OLAFUR ELIASSON‘s new solo exhibition entitled Contact that opened on Monday in Paris. This immersive light installation is part of a constellation of eight works taking up heterogeneously the lower floor of Frank Gehry’s Fondation Louis Vuitton building.

The exhibition, just like the previous works of the Icelandic artist, plays with the perception and the spaces as well as the position of the subject within theses spaces through a series of installations made with simple and industrial materials that aim to ‘transport the visitors into the darkness of outer space thanks to a choreography of moving light and shadows’ according to the press release.

Contact, curated by SUZANNE PAGE with the support from LAURENCE BOSSE, HANS ULRICH OBRIST and CLAIRE STAEBLER, runs until 16 February 2015 at Fondation Louis Vuitton, Paris.
