Reiffers Initiatives offre un canvas à la mesure de l’invité qu’elle s’est choisi pour célébrer les 5 ans de son programme Reiffers Mentorship : la totalité de sa façade comme toile à Daniel Buren.
La Fondation et le plasticien partagent l’amour de l’art démocratique, celui qui essaime dans la ville et se fond dans le paysage urbain, devenant la propriété de ceux qui tout simplement le regardent.
Rue des Acacias, dans le 17ᵉ arrondissement, l’artiste a fait courir ses célèbres rayures — un clin d’œil lancé quarante ans après les « Colonnes » du Palais-Royal, comme une résonance de son empreinte graphique dans la ville.
Des rayures pour mieux butiner la rue des Acacias, où l’on entend déjà bourdonner les essaims de curieux..
Magistral !
La Fondation Bullukian invite Prune Noury à déployer son univers sensible le temps d’une d’un chapitre avec « Empreintes ».
Narratrice de l’intime Prune Noury convoque avec délicatesse les ressorts de sa vie intérieure et les profonds changements induits par son cancer et sa rémission.
Articulée autour de la maladie, de la résilience et de l’altérité son travail offre des sculptures à apprivoiser par le toucher, un dialogue par ce sens primordial dans l’alphabet du soin et de la guérison.
On caresse, cajole, étreint et effleure sans entrave et nos doigts y suivent le chemin de tissus cicatriciels non-dits, ils y trouvent une altérité troublante et y ressentent.
Les couleurs sont tranchées, sans nuances comme un midi sans ombres, les sculptures s’offrent dans la nudité crue et sans fards d’un blanc, pur, immaculé et qui éclabousse de sa netteté clinique.
Puis le noir, total absolu, une simple corde guide dans l’obscurité la plus totale, une immersion littérale dans le monde des malvoyants où encore une fois seule le toucher relie aux œuvres.
Les effets secondaires de la chimiothérapie ont amené Prune à une réflexion profonde sur le sens du toucher, qu’elle risquait de perdre au cours de son traitement.
Avec ces jeux de matière, d’exploration sensorielle radicale et déroute elle propose une catharsis salutaire

Invitée à investir la Vieille Chapelle avec pour mission d’y mettre en exergue l’âme du lieu, Laure Provost y a convoqué la mer, en toute simplicité.
Intitulée « Mère we sea », dans son exposition la plasticienne se fait griot du quartier et y fait parler les ancêtres, murmurer les légendes, chanter les enfants et voguer la mémoire toutes voiles dehors.
Elle déploie une installation monumentale, l’esprit charnel et vibrant du quartier, la mer nourricière et maternante, qu’elle fait flotter au cœur battant du Panier, dans l’ancienne sacristie de la Vieille Charité.
Caravelle de souvenirs et de témoignages, son œuvre fait affleurer le reflet vibrant des mémoires multiples des habitants du quartier avec pour dialecte commun la mer, omniprésente et enveloppante ; les installations d’inspirations marines sont accompagnées d’enregistrements.
Et l’installation navigue ainsi sous le vent des témoignages des habitants du quartier et des voix d’enfants.
Une odyssée poétique qui gonfle les ailes de l’imaginaire pour longtemps.
In English, the term "silver lining" refers to the edge of light that shines through even the darkest storm, the very slightest thread of clarity that passes through the densest clouds.
It is around this stubborn beam, this brilliance always stronger than the shadow that the thread of interieORities was born.
Except that the light comes here from within,
That of matter,
Those of the artists
🔅 La Consigne offers its selection of Artists with the common thread of light as they capture it in matter.

Just a short stroll from the Bastille lies one of the treasures of French heritage: the workshops of Rémy Garnier, bronze artist. The house still occupies the same address that sheltered the visionary creativity of its eponymous founder, the Burgundian who was one of the inventors of the cremone bolt.
La Consigne was invited last week by NEWH ( NEWH Collective, acronym for Network of Executive Women in Hospitality, created in 1984 in the United States, it is a network that offers collaboration and training within the hotel industry and which extends its influence brilliantly in Europe) to discover this interlude of enchantment, history and excellence.
The world of cremone bolts has opened up, like an unsuspected universe of delicacy and dreams. We discover these ornaments in a new light and in a variation that seems infinite, cherub, nymph fixing her hair, serpent embracing the jamb, guardian of a medieval sword, creativity seems limitless, the only metronome is a know-how of precision, chiseled in the search for perfection.
Each piece, light fixture or window handle, captures its own universe and exalts admiration and reverie at the same time.
A time suspended in the very heart of perfection.
Chiharu Shiota, a storyteller and poetry weaver, has been sending her arachnid clouds beneath part of the Grand Palais since the beginning of December with an exhibition entitled "The Soul Trembles."
Its monumental installations, worthy of the monument that houses them, unfurl its emblematic silk threads over a 1200 m2 route offering works like successive emotional tableaux to be traversed.
Arch, cocoon, volutes or even whirlpools, the works of the Japanese artist offer us a ballet where precision and confusion harmonize perfectly and of which dreaminess remains the high point.
The one who says she "paints in three dimensions" projects us into her universe which questions, with casual candor, the complexity of human links, intimate networks, between delicacy, distance, tenuous links and solitude.
This titanic work took 10 days of weaving and embroidery to install and offers a unique immersive experience at the heart of Chiharu Shiota's organic and sensitive work.
Grace and poetry as only the Japanese magician knows how to concoct them.

Each new year brings with it its own ebb of resolutions, pious wishes and amendments intended to broaden the horizon and clear it of its clouds to promise a panoramic future, one that is written with a capital A.
The planetary revolution would inevitably call for others that would finally lead to the supposed path to happiness.
If you're going to be ambitious, you might as well throw yourself into the Opus Magnum, the Great Work, not to get the gold, the ringing, the material, but as a quest.
Perhaps the philosopher's stone is found rather than found; in our small daily joys, those that exist only in our soliloquies and through our senses.
The winter light between the bare branches, the sparkle in the eye before laughter, the caress of a material against the skin, the soft roughness of bark under the palm.
What if eternity were contained in the infinity of the moment?
The current world serving us the work in black, the Great Work in us is perhaps the only transformation.
Let us become infinite and living Gold, a Great Work that breathes.
The Consignment
Jeanne Vicerial, artist-seamstress, researcher and designer, creates feminine "knittings", half-body, half-sculpture, organic knitting of almost living structures emerging from weaving.
Invited to take a pas de deux with the world of Pierre Soulages, the artist offers an exceptional posthumous dialogue with the master of outrenoir at the Vieux Musée de Nîmes.
The painter having been an immense source of inspiration in her artistic journey, it is with work of surgical precision that the visual artist bows her reverence to Pierre Soulages by installing four monumental works in the city where he died last year.
A dizzying and minute darkness.

Alice Fournier, a talented contemporary jeweler, creates from stones. Passionate about gemology, it is these stones that inspire her.
She chooses exceptional stones and creates bold and poetic combinations.
She bends her demands and precise know-how to a fantasy of her own, which she nourishes with her travels, light or even daydreams, always with a passion for gemology in the background.
Her creations are encounters and a delicate and precious ballet between the stones and herself... then those who will adopt them.
On the occasion of her new “Fiji” collection, Alice Fournier invites La Consigne to take a two-step between Art and jewelry for its first Parisian pop-up.
The Consigne lends itself to the metronome of the young Franco-Swiss jeweler from October 21 to 26.
Come meet us!
