Glissements de terrain: Emmanuelle Villard and Xavier Noiret-Thomé Curate Group Show in Paris and Brussels

At Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire in Paris, the exhibition "Glissements de terrain," running from September 5 to 26, 2009, is curated by Emmanuelle Villard and Xavier Noiret-Thomé. It showcases artists John Beech, Stéphane Calais, Adrian Schiess, and Walter Swennen, highlighting a variety of techniques and formats that invite viewers to engage closely. Notable material connections exist between Schiess's smaller pieces and Villard's works, while Calais and Noiret-Thomé exhibit formal parallels. The large lacquers by Schiess and Villard's suspended pieces take on new spatial qualities from the mezzanine. In Brussels, Villard's solo show "Sans repentir" runs until October 24, featuring a significant installation and two new series. Additionally, Pascal Pinaud's mini-retrospective at Galerie Nathalie Obadia, available until October 31, delves into diverse artistic aspects. Noiret-Thomé’s solo exhibition "La Parade des cannibales" is scheduled for November 28, 2009, through January 16, 2010.
