Nouvelles Vagues - Galerie Alberta Pane

PRESS RELEASE
Nouvelles Vagues
June 21st – September 9th, 2013
53 exhibitions, throughout Paris and at Palais de Tokyo
Opening: Thursday, June 20
After «Cold Sun», Palais de Tokyo, along with thirty galleries and art spaces throughout Paris, innovates once more to
emphasize the emergence of the figure of the curator. At Palais de Tokyo, “Nouvelles vagues” (New Waves) is a large-scale
event organized by 21 international young curators (hailing from 13 different countries), working individually or in groups, and
selected by a jury from over 500 candidates.
«Nouvelles vagues» will transform the entirety of Palais de Tokyo’s exhibition space and spread out throughout the city, putting
on display the artists, ideas and situations endorsed by these visionary young professionals.
Owing to the efforts of the Comité professionnel des galeries d’art [professional committee of art galleries], this event will be
completed through the involvement of some thirty Parisian galleries. In partnership with Palais de Tokyo, these institutions
will each invite a young curator to conceive an exhibition within their walls. Together, these fifty proposals will mark an
unprecedented moment in Paris’ artistic life and present a fresh perspective on today’s artistic practices.
This event is a unique opportunity to emphasize the
emergence of this new definition of the curator, a
position that has flourished alongside the artist for
the past decades. This essential figure, who organizes
exhibitions across the globe, is neither an art dealer
nor an institutional curator. He or she does not belong
to the academic establishment nor feels subjected
to the rules of the art market. Instead, here is a free
spirit, a maverick looking for new directions, a nomad
who knows no boundaries and is always searching
for original poetic, aesthetic and political adventures.
Working alone or as part of a group, the curator
creates original, temporary environments in which
artists from different backgrounds come together
around shared goals, ideas and visions. No longer the
mouthpiece of a period or a movement, no longer the
theorist of a new chapter of art history, they thrive on
the challenge of working side by side with the artists.
The jury is composed of Hans Ulrich Obrist (Co-director
of the Serpentine Gallery, London), Massimiliano Gioni
(Associate Director and Curator, New Museum, New
York), Jens Hoffmann (Deputy Director, Jewish Museum,
New York), Jean-Hubert Martin (independent curator),
Xavier Franceschi (Director, Frac Ile-de-France), Colette
Barbier (Director, Fondation d’entreprise Ricard, Paris),
Fabienne Leclerc (Professional Committee of Art
Galleries), Alain Reinaudo (Institut Français), Jean de
Loisy (President of Palais de Tokyo) and curators of the
Palais de Tokyo.
From Félix Fénéon to Clement Greenberg, the 20th
century has celebrated the art critic, best epitomised
in France by Pierre Restany. During the 1970s and
’80s, the figure of the ultimate “exhibition maker,” such
as Harald Szeemann, Germano Celant or Jean-Hubert
Martin, emerged, opening up a path for a different way
of curating. Younger figures such as Hans Ulrich Obrist
or Klaus Biensebach preferred to align themselves with
the original meaning of the word “curator”, from the
Latin, curare, “to take care of”, “to attend to”.
Borne on a new wave of ingenuity, independence and
risk-taking, this new type of curator has blossomed on
the art scene.
“Nouvelles Vagues” testifies to this new artistic
ecosystem.
