Sean Snyder 18 avril - 23 mai 2009 Vernissage le 18 avril de 18h � 21h April 18 - May 23, 2009 Opening on April 18 from 6pm to 9pm Galerie Chantal Crousel is pleased to present the American artist Sean Snyder for a third monographic exposure to Paris. A selection of recent works disintegrates the image by interrogating the media and ideological representation and questioning the material aspect of information. The installation in the main gallery space elaborates on the project titled �Index� recently presented at the ICA, London. The various works consist of a series of experiments made by the artist in the process of digitizing and destroying his archive, in which the materials themselves become the subject of investigation. Included is documentation of the physical storage matter such as printed matter, scratched CDs and DVDs, celluloid, and disassembled electronics. A series of larger format works is based on the mistakes and corruption of data encountered in the transfer between imaging formats. The various works on display outline the process by which the material of the archive were catalogued and destroyed. Using various imaging techniques including microphotography Snyder attempts to identify the underlying decision making process and vocabulary used working with images and their ideological construct. Exhibition is a video about art, its reception and the discourse it generates as well as the work involved in the production of exhibitions. Exhibition reflects the rituals and conventions of the social dimension of art and the failure of educational projects based on assumptions of the universal aesthetic experience. The video uses as a subject the Soviet documentary film Noble Impulses of Soul, 1965, by Israel Goldstein. In typical 1960s Soviet style, the pedagogical tone of the film�s narrative praises the efforts of a provincial museum in the village of Parkhomivka in Eastern Ukraine revolving around an exhibition of contemporary Mexican art presented at the museum and an art history lecture at a village farm. The reprocessed video restructures the primary components, eliminates the voice of the narrator, and reorders the chronology of the film to break the continuous realistic world of documentary and alluding to the standardized and meaningless language that talks through people. _______ La Galerie Chantal Crousel a le plaisir de pr�senter la troisi�me exposition personnelle de lardiest am�ricain Sean Snyder � Paris. Une s�lection d�oeuvres r�centes d�sint�gre l�image en interrogeant les m�dias et la repr�sentation id�ologique ainsi qu�en questionnant l�aspect mat�riel de l�information. L�installation dans l�espace principal de la galerie se d�veloppe � partir du projet intitul� � Index � r�cemment pr�sent� � l�ICA de Londres. Les diff�rentes oeuvres consistent en une s�rie d�exp�riences faites par l�artiste au cours du processus de num�risation et de destruction de ses archives et Durant lesquelles les mat�riaux eux-m�mes deviennent le sujet de cette investigation. Cette documentation rassemble les supports physiques de stockage tels que des imprim�s, des CD et des DVD ray�s, de la pellicule et des composants �lectroniques d�sassembl�s. Une s�rie de photographies grand format est bas�e sur les erreurs et la corruption des donn�es occasionn�es lors du transfert entre diff�rents formats d�image. Les diverses oeuvres expos�es montrent le processus par lequel les mat�riaux de l�archive ont �t� catalogu�s et d�truits. Par l�utilisation de nombreuses techniques de l�image, y compris la microphotographie, Snyder cherche � identifier les d�cisions sous-jacentes et le vocabulaire employ� lors du travail sur l�image et sa construction id�ologique. Exhibition est une vid�o sur l�art, sa r�ception et le discours qu�il g�n�re ainsi que le travail concernant la production des expositions. Exhibition refl�te les rites et les conventions de la dimension sociale de l�art et de l��chec des projets �ducatifs bas�s sur les croyances de l�exp�rience esth�tique universelle. La vid�o a pour sujet le film documentaire sovi�tique Noble Impulses of Soul, 1965, d�Israel Goldstein. Dans un style sovi�tique typique des ann�es 1960, le ton p�dagogique du r�cit du film fait l��loge des efforts d�un mus�e provincial, dans le village de Parkhomivka en Ukraine de l�Est, autour d�une exposition d�art contemporain Mexicain et d�une conf�rence d�histoire de l�art dans une ferme. Dans la vid�o, lardiest restructure les principaux composants du film, �limine la voix du narrateur et r�arrange sa chronologie afin de briser l�apparence r�aliste du documentaire et faire allusion au langage standardis� et d�pourvu de sens qui parle � travers les gens. |
