Mark Hearld at Yorkshire Sculpture Park

17 November 2012 – 17 February 2013

“Seuls quelques fragments de nous” at Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac

30 November 2012-19 January 2013

Covering twenty years of artistic practice, from the nineties until today, the works featured in the exhibition are all related to collage, montage and fragmentation. The display is itself conceived as a collage in space by the juxtaposition of several mediums, the superimposition of works, and the presence of works composed of mirrors, fragmenting the exhibition and the public.

“Romare Bearden: A Black Odyssey” at Reynolda House

13 October 2012 -13 January 2013

In 1977, Romare Bearden (1911–1988), one of the most powerful and original artists of the 20th century, created a cycle of collages and watercolours based on Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey. Rich in symbolism and allegorical content, Bearden’s “Odysseus Series” created an artistic bridge between classical mythology and African American culture.

“Arrangements” by Bruce Ingram at Vitrine Gallery

27 October-25 November 2012

Shaped by Ingram’s interest in the Japanese art form of ikebana, the exhibition centres around three bodies of work that occupy the threshold between sculpture and collage and present familiar objects in unfamiliar new arrangements.
