The borrowed time

06.06.2010 - 29.08.2010 | Museum de Fundatie, Zwolle, Netherlands

The borrowed time provides a unique view of the sensually stimulating universe of the Flemish artist and theatre-maker Jan Fabre. The exhibition consists of approximately 130 drawings and conceptual models created by Fabre, as well as around 200 photos of his theatre, dance and opera productions taken by renowned photographers. The borrowed time is one of the many activities that will take place around Jan Fabre in Zwolle this summer. For example from 18 to 27 June he will be the main guest at Festival ZwArt where Fabre's complete Trilogie van de schoonheid (Trilogy of Beauty) will be performed for the first time in the Netherlands, and actors such as Hans Kesting, Kitty Courbois and Roeland Fernhout will give readings from their favourite passages in Fabre's theatre work. The entire programme can be consulted at www.janfabrezwolle.nl.

The Borrowed Time

28.10.2009 - 14.02.2010 | Museo Carlo Bilotti Aranciera di Villa Borghese, Italy

This exhibition shows the work of stage director, choreographer and visual artist Jan Fabre, seen through the eyes of famous photographers. In Borrowed time Fabre juxtaposes a selection of his project sketches and drawings executed in Chinese ink or blue ballpoint pen with photographs photographer friends have taken of his theatre productions during rehearsals or during the actual performances. It is as if the director's gaze crosses that of the photographers, resulting in a personal view of Jan Fabre's universe, with a strong visual bias and the standpoint of the 'ideal spectator'.

Born and bred in Antwerp, Jan Fabre is at home in all the art disciplines and moves freely from one to another. In the last 25 years he has produced more than 30 dance, theatre and opera productions in addition to his work as a visual artist. Twelve photographers (Helmut Newton, Carl De Keyzer, Robert Mapplethorpe, Jorge Molder, Malou Swinnen, Dirk Braeckman, Maarten Vanden Abeele, Wonge Bergmann, Jean-Pierre Stoop, Pierre Coulibeuf, Filip Van Roe and Patrick Selitto) have captured his productions on camera since the 1980s. Each photographer reacts differently to Fabre's work, turning what he sees into his own imagery and thus abandoning the customary documentary approach to theatre photography.

The exhibition comprises a total of approximately 150 works: black & white and colour photographs by the above-mentioned photographers and crayon drawings and maquettes by Jan Fabre.

Alternative humanities: Jan Fabre & Katsura Funakoshi

29.04.2010 - 31.08.2010 | 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Japan

A large-scale exhibition devoted to Jan FABRE and Katsura FUNAKOSHI ―two of today’s most influential artists. The exhibition will individually explore the spiritual sources of each artist in religious icons appearing in masterworks of history and thereby consider the character of 21st-century man.
Born in Belgium, Fabre remains attuned to the religious paintings of 15th and 16th century Flanders, while exposing the contradictions of human existence through pictures drawn with his own blood and sculptures employing stuffed animals, animal bones, and other organic materials.
The figurative sculptures that Funakoshi carves from camphor wood speak eloquently of the interior landscape of people in our times. They also resonate with the complex emotions visible in images of the Kannon bodhisattva of the late Edo/early Meiji period―a major turning point in Japanese culture.
Marie-Laure BERNADAC, a curator of contemporary art at the Louvre, will co-produce the exhibition. Project advisors TAKASHINA Shuji and FURUTA Ryo will comprehensively examine the art of Fabre and Funakoshi in connection with the historical past. Gathering some 190 works in a meeting of East and West, past and present, the exhibition will transcend time and place to inquire into state of the human spirit today.

Heroes Heroines. Iconology and Simulacrum

13.06.2010 - 18.07.2010 | Castello di Rivalta, Torino, Italy

Heroes Heroines. Iconology and Simulacrum follows a necessary analysis of concepts such as image and representation of the work of art. The exhibition addresses the subject matters of myth, deity and heroic figures which have proved to be essential subjects in the world of art from its earliest forms to the present day. Through the works of artists who have devoted themselves to interpreting such iconographic subjects, the attention is inevitably placed on the reality of simulacra. The exhibition focuses on the way contemporary art can give new meaning to the concept of image in our global society in which images have been appropriated by the media and turned into superficial instruments of expediency.
Heroes Heroines, Iconology and Simulacrum reflects upon “the history of ideas” from the last century to the present. It concentrates especially on a particular time in “the history of images”, as narrated by French philosopher Jean Baudrillard: the extinction of the ‘real’ and the birth of the hyper ‘real’. By taking into account how the disappearance of art and the great theme of the simulacrum combine with the new perspectives of hyper consumerism both on a visual and symbolic level, the exhibition highlights the chance that contemporary art has to find a meaningful space to allow images to regain their own dignity.
Maura Banfo, Roxy in the Box, Jan Fabre, Pierre Klossowski, Oleg Kulik, Paolo Leonardo, Andrea Massaioli, Francesco Sena, Anne Schneider, Diego Scroppo, Mary Sue and Hung Tung-Lu are directors in a theatrical pièce of heroes-actors starring Lancelot and Gulliver, Alice and Sailor Moon, Father Pius and the Paestum Diver, Degas’s dancer and a Chupa Chups lollipop, Hippocrates and the Lumiere brothers, the Defeated and the antiheroes - a cast of icons that is a «place for discovery and interpretation of symbolic values», a space in which to find «the history of the cultural», as described by Panofsky.
Heroes Heroines. Iconology and Simulacrum highlights the short circuit that art can cause by re-reading images as a means to knowledge and reflection. It presents a critical space to create a new code for seduction both as concept and practice. In other words, it sublimates the «symbolic exchange » (Baudrillard) that is intrinsic in the work of art, the inevitable involvement of two characters: the author and the spectator.
