From June 13 to September 15, 2024, Same word, personal exhibition by Julia Spínola, curated by Elfi Turpin, in collaboration with Artium Museoa, Museum of Contemporary Art of the Basque Country.

Julia Spínola is a Spanish artist who lives in Barcelona. She works on sculpture and creates installations from everyday materials (cardboard, leaflet cutouts, recovered objects, among others) and she is interested in the play of scales of objects and the way in which they are arranged in space. .

Julia Spínola recently presented a solo exhibition at Artium Museoa, a contemporary museum in the Basque Country. It is from the pieces in this exhibition that the artist created new ones: she modified, amplified, readjusted them. These are the creations that will adorn the CRAC Alsace space.

To talk to us about the challenges of this exhibition during a preparatory work meeting, Julia Spínola presented us with a series of workshops* that she has led in recent years, and which have led her to produce series of shapes and gestures with different groups of people. The imagined situations are simple. Copy to understand the mechanism of something. Do without knowing how. Invent techniques using the rudimentary materials available: cardboard, glue, string, tape, packaging, leaflets, saliva, hands. Arrange the conditions for horizontal learning. Stimulate creativity.

Understanding Julia Spínola's work would therefore consist of practicing it rather than commenting on it, of apprehending it in the first sense of the term, that is to say, of grasping it in person. The exhibition entitled Same word is an invitation to have this experience of apprehension, an invitation to “touch” with the works to discover their language. The two words Same word could also be sufficient in themselves to introduce this exhibition, an exhibition where the same form can be repeated to take on multiple meanings and functions, and to exist in the equivocation of this multitude of uses or in the uncertainty of the perception of its envelope. Is it a bag? Is it a fruit? Is it a smile? Is it a color? Is it solid? Is it rigid? Is it soft? Is it liquid?

Two or more words with identical pronunciation and different meanings are called homonyms. By extension, we could call two or more works of identical form but different uses homonyms. The Same Word exhibition would then become the space of the metamorphosis of the same into another: the paradise of homonymy.

ET May, 2024.

The Sacred Art Path was born from a wonderful intuition: to hold exhibitions of contemporary art in certain remarkable churches in Alsace, Haut and Bas-Rhin with artists who create for the place as additional pretexts to visit our churches. These artists are accompanied in their project by the person responsible for the Sacred Art Path, today Laurence Levard.

Two years are often necessary for this preparation. It is a spiritual and artistic journey which is offered to the visitor by the artist with a given theme as a common thread, supported by a biblical quote.

For more than 26 years, nearly 100 tourists have followed this string of exhibitions with interest, whether they are Alsatians, French tourists or foreigners, particularly Germans who are enthusiastic about this route.

The exhibition - Stephan Herrgott (painting)

Stéphan Herrgott develops a pictorial expression in the direction of free figuration and lyrical abstraction. It immerses the viewer in recognizable atmospheres where very strong energy and a lot of serenity coexist.

“Water is the essential driving force in my creation and my painting technique. It is she who conveys the pigments in a natural way, I do not control her, I tame her and by trusting her she becomes my essential ally to transcribe all these emotions in the face of nature, of humans. » Subtle balance between intimacy and discovery, in his works he addresses the theme of connection, of encounter. He also reveals in his work this permanent duality between presence and absence.

“My painting is my word, my 4 colors my alphabet, white my punctuation, doubt my syntax”.

If some of his paintings also evoke this complex relationship between beings, others are very imbued with the intensity of our environment or travel.

Opening June 8 at 19 p.m.
