His paintings, drawings, and performative works show Ted Stamm's (1944-1984) constant engagement with the environment of his time and his tireless experimental approach. He developed a minimalist visual language that often appears strictly geometric and simple, but at the same time occupies large spaces of freedom. His iconic works and cross-media conceptual approaches have influenced a wide range of artists of his time and the generation that followed.

KIMSOOJA AT GALERIES LAFAYETTE HAUSMANN, PARIS, FRANCE

TO BREATHE, 14 APR - 30 JUN 2023

Kimsooja has been invited to intervene in the historic glass dome of the Galeries Lafayette Hausmann in Paris. The installation 'To Breathe' creates a dialogue with this architectural landmark built in 1912. The dome used to flood the builduing with colours diffused by the stained glass windows designed by Jacques Grüber, which were later replaced by white glass. By subtly reintroducing colour through light, Kimsooja pays poetic homage to the original design, a symbol of Art Nouveau.

Año del Usagi, 4 Feb - 25 Jun 2023

Usagi means ‘rabbit’ or ‘hare’ in Japanese. As Ikemura writes in one of her poems, the animal has the ability to ’spring from border to border / And break the established linear system’. Through different media – painting, sculpture, video and poetry – we experienced how the artist crosses biographical, geographical, cultural and artistic boundaries.

NAME ME NOT, 3 FEB - 28 MAY 2023

Tomasko’s works derive their vitality from the tension between the figurative source and the painterly result– abstraction.

We experience this vitality through the many layers and textures of her colourful compositions.

This exhibition is a journey through the materiality of the various creatures created by Leiko Ikemura from the 1990s to the present. Paintings, drawings, sculptures and films provide a concentrated view of the artist's outstanding formal language.

On the Line: Conversations with Sean Scully

Backs and Fronts: the Painting that Changed the Course of Art, 28 Sep 2021

In his article, art critic Kelly Grovier explores how Sean Scully's painting 'Backs and Fronts' redefined minimalism when first presented at PS1 in New York in 1981. Consisting of 11 panels composed of richly coloured stripes, this 20-foot-long painting encapsulates Scully's influences from art historical figures such as Picasso and Mondrian to jazz music and moroccan fabrics. The radical dynamism of the painting – both in terms of colour and movement – was unseen at the time, and translated into an artwork strong enough to rejuvenate the abstract painting scene.
