Leonor Antunes
Antunes is presenting a series of new sculptures based on the measurements of specific Modernist buildings. Works that are reversals of reversals: nothing less than taking the anti-Modernist gambit identified by Rosalind Krauss in her "Notes on the Index" (1977) – use of a referent external to the work, in contrast with Modernism's purist rationale – and applying it to referents in the form of iconic, overtly Modernist works of architecture. Just as the artist did with the work of designer Eileen Gray in her Paris exhibition at Crédac in 2008. Portuguese artist Leonor Antunes lives and works in Berlin. Her numerous recent museum exhibitions include the Kunstverein Dusseldorf, the Museo Experimental El Eco in Mexico City, the Museu de Serralves in Porto, the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid last year, and Crédac in Ivry-sur-Seine in 2008. She has also contributed to many group exhibitions at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, the Singapore Art Museum, Kunstverein München and elsewhere.

You have to know how to get things over and done with. Bring everything out. Or put everything back in, who knows? For Mrzyk & Moriceau everything starts with the drawing all their three-dimensional works return to. Literally. Petra Mrzyk and Jean-François Moriceau have been collaborating since 1998. During these last years they have had many individual exhibitions (Ratio 3, Los Angeles ; La Caixa, Barcelone ; Villa Arson, Nice..) as well as group shows (Chapelle du Genêteil, Château-Gontier ; le Crédac, Ivry-sur-Seine ; Loftprojekt ETAGI, Saint-Petersbourg ; Bétonsalon, Paris…). The works of Mrzyk et Moriceau are in many french and american collections, both public and private, such as FNAC, les FRAC Poitou Charentes, Pays de la Loire, Ile-de-France, and the Musée d’Art Moderne de la ville de Paris, du MoMA, New-York et du LACMA, Los Angeles. They have also made music videos for Air and Sébastien Tellier. |
