silent show

The ‘Silent Show’ exhibition draws on the triple register of painting, film and dance. For the first time Cécile Bart combines her paintings/screens with film projections. Short dance sequences, from films ranging in register and period, are projected onto nine paintings/screens arranged in the black gallery.

A ‘sampling’ is comprised of images that have been selected, cropped, copied and pasted in black and white.

Like silent movies, to which the title alludes, the exhibition is silent allowing movement to be the focus — the bodies filmed mingle with those of the visitors.

cécile bart

The artist was born in Dijon;
she now lives and works in Marsannay-la-Côte (Burgundy). Made out of thin Tergal canvas, painted and stretched on a frame, the screen/painting is one that can be seen through the eyes, showing both the painted surface and the real world behind it. Oscillating between transparency and opacity, the image constantly changes according to the variations of light, and the movements of the actively participating spectator. This investigative tool, that has been explored by the artist since 1986, is constantly being renewed according the technical possibilities offered by the different places where each exhibition is held. The screen/paintings are suitable for any type of configurations, as their colours can be combined and superimposed infinitely, reinventing the space that surrounds the spectator.
