CPGA - FIAC ART WEEK


06 APRIL - 30 JUNE 2021

There are the roads traced out, those we want to take us to, and a thousand places, a thousand miles away, those that we draw. Infinite and universal like the constellations in the sky, they construct a temporal geometry where the paths of the past meet the present to build a future, forming a new figure. They are taken by each individual declining a furrow, a new imprint, dug on the remains of the borders of the old world.


Silence of the States in front of this suffering, Lindokhule Khumalo, Elihle, the young girl with the red telephone announces the state of emergency. Barely enough time to brake, a worn-out box of cow that no longer laughs shatters; on the side, two hens escaped from a painting by Gopal Dagnogo, observe the stigma of colonisation in today's consumer society.


Volume increases as much as urgency, memory is the guardian of a temple of which Jean Servais Somian is one of the heirs, distilling in his contemporary design, a mark of ancestrality through the nobility of the materials used as well as the work of Sthenjwa Luthuli who carves in wood the portrait of the visual activist Zanele Muholi fighting for the right to live of LGBTI communities. The invisible become visible and cannot be silenced or killed. In perpetual questioning, in the face of confinement, Zanele Muholi reinvents themself on canvas and lets colour explode as a form of resistance.


In the face of a pandemic, but in reality much earlier, it is more necessary than ever to build and continue to trace paths that invite us to think, to review, to build and to dream differently about Africa.









The Carole Kvasnevski Gallery and the Véronique Rieffel Gallery propose to share a journey where questioning is the foundation of thought. From this itinerary, these are the voices of the artists... a music in a speeding car... Emergency... which rolls in the night with full headlights! Asphalt against the ground, the tyres heat up with the work of Clay Apenouvon, whose plastic is forged into a cry of alarm about the fate of refugees.









Elihle, 2019











Silence of the States in front of this suffering, Lindokhule Khumalo, Elihle, the young girl with the red telephone sounds the state of emergency. Barely enough time to brake, a worn-out box of cow that no longer laughs flies into a thousand splinters; on the side, two hens escaped from a painting by Gopal Dagnogo, observe the stigmata of colonisation in today's consumer society.
