Stefan Bruggemann / Robert Barry

Yvon Lambert, Paris

For is first exhibition in Paris, Bruggemann presents the installation Conceptual Decoration (2008). In this work the words of the title are printed on wallpaper that covers the space in entirety. The artist works extensively with language, having a very particular way of dealing with text, combining a formal conceptual approach with a rough and critical attitude. Barry's work has always been focused on space and the space between: between objects, between time, between artist and viewer. To him, the 'idea' of an artwork is as important as the actual art object.


comunicato stampa

Yvon Lambert – Paris is pleased to announce its first solo show of London based German/Mexican artist Stefan Brüggemann.

Stefan Brüggemann works extensively with language, having a very particular way of dealing with text, combining a formal conceptual approach with a rough and critical attitude. As a perfect reflection of a world, the work seriously delivers the truths of the day, pursuing the forms of negativism, in their nihilistic rather than romantic aspect—forms involving the end of myths and beliefs, including those of creation. The works refer at times brutally to the society of disappointment that is ours, setting the individual face to face with him/herself to the world.

For is first exhibition in Paris, Stefan Brüggemann present the installation Conceptual Decoration (2008). In this installation the words of the title are printed on wallpaper that covers the space in entirety. The “moirée” effect of the repeated ten-point registration of the words provides an interference pattern that jolts the eye and suffuses the gallery in a gray half-light.

Here, the artist uses the bourgeois decadence of surface decoration to highlight the “appearance” of the concept. By melding together the idea and its physical embodiment, their irreconcilable differences are exposed: looking and meaning are inextricably shackled together as they are unable to function without each other. Stefan Brüggemann’s recent solo exhibitions include: Black Box, curated by Philippe Pirotte and Eva Gonzáles-Shancho, Kunsthalle Bern and Frac Bourgogne, Dijon, France, 2008.

Recent group exhibitions include: Escultura Social: New Generation of Art from Mexico City, MCA, Chicago, 2007; Nothing, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, 2006; Off-key, curated by Philippe Pirotte, Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland, 2006; and Beck’s Futures Award, ICA, London, 2006. Recent publications include: JRP Ringier publication edited by Nicolas de Oliveira with essays by Chris Kraus, Michael Bracewell and Caoimhín Mac Giolla Léith.

Robert BARRY - Word Lists

Yvon Lambert Paris is pleased to announce the opening of American artist Robert Barry’s solo exhibition Word Lists. Barry has shown with Yvon Lambert for more than 35 years and this exhibition marks his twelfth solo show with the gallery. One of the pioneers of conceptualism and minimalism, Barry‘s (b. 1936) work has always been focused on space and the space between: between objects, between time, between artist and viewer.

To him, the “idea” of an artwork is as important as the actual art object. The manifestation of this credo has led Barry to work in a variety of unorthodox and sometimes intangible media: magnetism, thoughts, ultrasonic sound and inert gases. Recently, the artist has been interested in the more traditional mediums of painting and sculpture.

Words are an essential element to Barry’s work. They evoke mental states of flux or contemplation and declare to the viewer a temporal and psychic intangibility. In this show Barry will utilize the walls and floor of the gallery space to exhibit individual word-based works, playing with proportion and scale both real and metaphorical. A large floor piece made of chrome colored cast acrylic letters spell out words like “tenuous”, “remind” and “expect.” The walls will contain several large paintings (178 x 178 cm) as well as vinyl and hand painted lettering. One particular wall work will replicate the composition of the sculpture Red Cross recently exhibited at the New York gallery.

Robert Barry is included in the permanent collections of the world’s most visionary museums and foundations including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC; The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Musée d’Orsay, Paris; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Musée National D’Art Moderne, Centre George Pompidou, Paris; the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.
