Scroll down for english Ann Veronica Janssens May Exposition du 8 mai au 19 juin 2010 Vernissage vendredi 7 mai de 18 � 21 h. Pour sa deuxi�me exposition personnelle � Air de Paris, Ann Veronica Janssens pr�sente un ensemble d��uvres r�centes dont certaines in�dites. Si la galerie est toujours un espace d�exp�rimentation, ce n�est plus sous la forme de l�immersion physique dans la lumi�re comme lors de sa pr�c�dente exposition personnelle, mais avec celle du laboratoire. Le spectateur est alors invit� � concentrer son attention sur autant de d�monstrations paradoxales. Le laboratoire n�est plus ici celui de doute mais de la contemplation. Les mati�res travaill�es semblent en perdre leurs caract�ristiques premi�res, contredire leurs propri�t�s. Devenir des oxymores, des preuves incommensurables � leurs pr�misses mat�rielles. Le laboratoire n�est plus v�rification d�hypoth�ses mais confirmation de leurs contradictions. L�eau y devient sculpture (Lilas dream), la lumi�re film�e perd ses attributs statiques, devient battement, l�acier perd sa rigidit� et semble se liqu�fier (IPN). Il �voque par ailleurs les constructions de l�architecte Oscar Niemeyer qui, film� en temps r�el pendant une de ses pauses, devient statue mouvante. Le portrait devient paradoxalement exp�rience visuelle. Et l�exp�rience de devenir � chaque fois hypnotique et contemplative � nouveau par les seuls effets de deux param�tres : la lumi�re et le temps. N�e en 1956 en Grande Bretagne, Ann Veronica Janssens vit et travaille � Bruxelles. Elle est reconnue internationalement, particuli�rement pour ses installations immergeant les visiteurs dans des brouillards artificiels et color�s qui remettent en question leurs habitudes en mati�re de perception et d�orientation (MUKHA 1997, Biennale de Venise 1999, Kunsthalle Berne 2003, MAC Marseille 2003, Neue Nationale Galerie Berlin 2001, 1301PE gallery LA 2003...), ses v�los aux jantes r�fl�chissantes (Neue Nationale Galerie Berlin 2001, Middleheim Museum Anvers 2002, MUKHA Anvers 2003...) et autres �uvres jouant des param�tres de la lumi�re. Ann Veronica Janssens May Exhibition from May 8th to June 19th, 2010 Opening Friday 7th from 6 to 9 pm. For her second solo exhibition at Air de Paris, Ann Veronica Janssens has opted for a group of hitherto unshown works. Experimentation remains the order of the day, but with a shift away from the physical immersion in light that marked her previous solo show. This time the gallery serves as a laboratory, with the viewer invited to focus on a series of paradoxical scientific demonstrations: a laboratory devoted no longer to doubt but to contemplation. The substances Janssens works with seem to lose their primary characteristics and contradict their own properties, becoming in the process oxymoronic proofs at odds with their material premises: confirmations not of hypotheses, but of their contradiction. Water becomes sculpture (Lila�s Dream) and filmed light flutteringly sheds its static qualities, steel softens to the point of apparent liquefaction (IPN). Nor is this allusion to the work of Oscar Niemeyer fortuitous: filmed in real time while taking a break, the architect becomes a moving statue as portrait paradoxically morphs into visual experience. On each occasion this experience becomes hypnotically contemplative under the influence of the same two variables: light and time. Born in 1956 in the United Kingdom, Ann Veronica Janssens lives in Bruxelles. She now has an international reputation, in particular for installations that plunge visitors into coloured artificial fogs that challenge our habits regarding perception and sense of direction (MUKHA 1997, Venice Biennale 1999, Kunsthalle Berne 2003, MAC Marseille 2003, Neue Nationale Galerie Berlin 2001, 1301PE gallery LA 2003.), her bicycles with reflective wheels (Neue Nationale Galerie Berlin 2001, Middleheim Museum Antwerp 2002, MUKHA Antwerp 2003) and other works making play with the parameters of light.
