From September 11 to December 20, 2018, the City of Nice invites you to discover the exhibition "Two eyes that know how to be dazzled bring out the dazzling" of the artist André Marzuk at the Raoul Mille Library. The inauguration will be held Saturday, September 22, 2018 at 15 hours.
The artistic work of André Marzuk often dialogues with the written word. Excerpts, fragments, sentences or words from poems, novels, essays or philosophical reflections sow his work. The artist proposes a stroll through a collection of paintings, drawings, artist's books, ceramic tiles, mural scenography and video films.
André Marzuk
After studying at the National School of Decorative Arts in Nice and the Beaux-Arts in Paris, André Marzuk rubs shoulders with Pop Art and New Realism. Post-1968 reflections, in which he participates actively, persuade him to reject a "political" painting that he considers unsuited to the cultural situation of France.
A reflection of several years engages him in an exploration of some ethical universals which found our humanity, a poetics of intimacy, a reflection of the depths of the Self. Engaged in a contemporary expression, her work is based on her knowledge of poetry and music, philosophy and science.
Convinced that an ethic of art and the artist must be at the heart of all artistic endeavors, Marzuk works on an art that magnifies our human part.
From October 13 to December 30, 2018
In this year 2018 marking the twenty years of the creation of the International Center for Contemporary Art at the Castle of Carros, we invite a return on these two decades through a presentation that borrows from previous exhibitions created in the place since summer 1998 Frédéric Altmann, who was the first Director of the CIAC from the founding until his retirement in 2006, is naturally the guest of honor, with a selection of his photographs taken on site or elsewhere during this period . True "memory of the art", in the words of France Delville, tireless photographer of the artistic world azuréen and international, it has indeed accumulated innumerable portraits, causing the famous reflection of Ben Vautier: "One day, to understand the chronology of creation in Nice, it will have to go through the eye of Altmann. "
Bringing together the works of artists present in the collection of Carros or having exhibited at the CIAC, this course reflects the diversity of the proposals launched over twenty years through meetings and discoveries that occurred, while leaving imagine projects who could be born and flourish in the years to come.
