SAINT-PAUL DE VENCE – De Buck Gallery is pleased to announce that Opulent Landscapes, curated by Rachel D. Vancelette, will be traveling to Saint-Paul de Vence, France, for the summer launch of our project space.  The exhibition will be on view by appointment only from June 24 through September 10, 2017 with an invitation-only opening reception on Saturday, June 24 from 17:00h – 20:00h.

Opulent Landscapes presents several exceptional artists who will examine themes related to dream-like realities and alternative architectural spaces, both in real time and in altered computerized creations. Using concepts of optical distortion within their individual artistic practice, the active exercise of “hand versus machine” is revealed using a variety of materials, transporting the viewer’s visual experiences. Their creations alter 3D space and time, using lavish patterns of materiality and alternative elements, from slick surface painting to remarkable views of altered graphic relief.

Artworks’ materiality and on-going process now play a vital role in each artist’s studio practice and artistic statement. From the “handmade to the machine made”, the audience will see a shift in the perceived narrative of how each artwork was created. Examination of handmade traditions in artistic studio practice can now be removed from the actual materials process, and/or enhanced by classic, but computerized, methods of weaving, painting, printing and sculpture. From the beginning and end points of 3D printings, to the molded, cut, glued and colored patterns, the artist can trick the eye of the viewer at any moment. Gestures, lines, movement and materials all transport the audience to an unrestricted vision of multiple landscapes and dream-like adventures.

Opulent Landscapes will premier Jeffrey Gibson’s new series of paintings entitled Village, Stillwater, and Dusk, which all emphasize color and geometric form. The exhibition is also featuring works by two artists included in this year’s Venice Biennale, Sislej Xhafa (Kosovo Pavilion) and Gal Weinstein (Israel Pavilion). Xhafa’s “Association in Yellow”, a conceptual relic of the artist’s performance during PERFORMA New York in 2005 will be on view.

Engineered Paintants, Makasiini Contemporary, Turku, Finland

FABIAN MARCACCIO ENGINEERED PAINTANTS April 28 - June 4, 2017 Makasiini Contemporary, Turku, Finland INVITATION | KUTSU    You are cordially invited to attend the opening in presence of the Artists on Thursday April 27, from 5 to 7 pm.  Olet lämpimästi tervetullut näyttelyiden avajaisiin taiteilijoiden läsnäollessa torstaina 27. huhtikuuta kello 17-19. The artist gained international attention in the 1990s when he began to make his series of "Paintants," or mutant paintings, that question the conventions of the medium in light of the burgeoning digital era. The series employs elements of digital photography and sculpture to emphasize and manipulate the spatial and temporal aspects of painting. Marcaccio's paintings are muscular and squirrely, often characterized by excess and ornamentation that is pushed into paradox with the ways in which the works are ultimately structural: The most fundamental elements of painting–canvas, brushstroke, stretcher–are emphasized so that they become the content of the work, rather than the means or support.

Art Basel - Galerie Thomas Schulte

A R T  B A S E L   |  Hall 2.1, Stand K7June 19 to 22, 2014 

Galerie Thomas Schulte

As it is programmatic for us, our stand this year, which marks the 24th consecutive time that we partake in Art Basel, is rather conceptual, focusing on the topics of language and writing, gesture and appropriation.
It is literally writing that is the content of Michael Müller's large installation "K4 Schriftblätter", consisting of hundreds of drawings that describe his 25 year journey of developing his own writing to transcribe Robert Musil's "The Man Without Qualities". This gigantic enterprise was at the center of Müller's show at the gallery in 2013 and is only surpassed by his current exhibition or rather a Gesamtinstallation "Was nennt sich Kunst, was heißt uns wahrsein" that is on view at our Berlin space until July 26.
Next to Müller's installation is the large neon work "Teach Us To Outgrow Our Madness" by Alfredo Jaar, executed in the artist's own hand-writing and thus referring to the original first sketch of this work in 1995.
On two large tables in front, Fabian Marcaccio presents a body of works from his "Paintant Lab", that concurrently with Art Basel is exhibited at Daros Latin America in Rio de Janeiro (until August 10). Using drawings, prints and 3D printed mini sculptures of Silicon, Marcaccio creates a constantly growing archive of brushstrokes and painterly gestures, thus developing his pictorial vocabulary. 
This issue is also reflected in one of Jonathan Lasker's very important works "Explanation of Ice to a Summer Insect" from 1999, where the artist is seemingly dissecting the elements that make a painting.
The theme of writing, gesture and appropriation is extended further by Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle's highly intelligent adaptation of Brancusi's "Bird in Space", a new painting by David Reed focusing on its own gesture, small photographic works by Idris Khan from his latest series of works on script and a beautiful new medium sized canvas by Juan Uslé from his series "Soñé que revelabas".
Last but not least, there will be a small version of one of Alice Aycock's fantastically dynamic Park Avenue sculptures that have so much fascinated the New York public over the last three months (until July 20).
Besides all these works, we will have works at the stand by Iris Schomaker, Bernhard Martin, Albrecht Schnider, Robert Mapplethorpe and Danilo Dueñas .
Come and see us at our Stand K7 in Hall 2.1!

On the occasion of Art Parcours, João Penalva presents his installation with slides and sound "Men Asleep", comprising of a collection of more than three hundred found photographs from the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s of men who fell asleep other than on their beds.
