es 171 dessins d’Elvire Bonduelle, rassemblés à la manière d’un catalogue raisonné, affirment leur existence comme fin en soi mais aussi comme moyen d’expression privilégié par l’artiste. Réalisés entre 2007 et aujourd’hui, ils sont exécutés avec précision et minutie, « à la règle » selon les termes d’Elvire Bonduelle, et avec un outillage simple : crayons de couleurs, feutres, stylos bille, papier au format A3 ou A4. Mêlant le vocabulaire de l’architecture à des motifs ornementaux et à des éléments de décoration éclectiques, ces dessins renvoient aussi bien au Pop Art de Claes Oldenburg, au design radical d’Ettore Sottsass, qu’aux espaces métaphysique de De Chirico. Souvent énigmatiques, parfois absurdes et comiques, ils se classent en séries, qui se réfèrent par un perpétuel jeu de citations et de croisements à d’autres réalisations de l’artiste, et dont les frontières perméables semblent se moquer des typologies qu’elles recouvrent. Certains dessins décrivent des espaces ouverts sur un infini insondable et que structurent des pièces de mobilier imaginaires ou des fragments d’ornements architecturaux ; d’autres sont des univers clos et verrouillés, dont les chaises vides aux dimensions parfois disproportionnées, les bureaux d’informations désertés, évoquent le vide existentiel des salles d’attente. Plus concrète dans son propos, la série « Maison-Voiture-Chien », tournant en dérision le bonheur bourgeois, se livre à un inventaire drôle, féroce, et particulièrement jouissif de ses attributs, notamment celui de la maison du bonheur. À la manière des dessins de Bruce Nauman, ceux d’Elvire Bonduelle l’aident à penser le monde comme d’autres les concepts. Renvoyant aux relations qui existent entre les gens, les pensées et l’espace qu’ils occupent, ces dessins mettent en scène, avec l’ironie légère propre à l’artiste, notre rapport à la vie et à la mort, au plaisir et à la douleur, au passage du temps, aux rituels du quotidien.

resentation of the book “Some Instructions For the Sharing of Private Property” and related works @ onestar press Friday, 25 March 2011 from 18:00-21:00h. Artists will be present.
ost of the works in the exhibition started with a small, quick sketch by the artist, which he scanned, enlarged, digitally manipulated, and printed on sheets of plastic. The plastic was then vacuum-formed over randomly-placed ropes and painted with acrylic, enamel and polyurethane. Price has worked with both ropes and vacuum-formed plastic for several years, but this is the first time he has expanded these techniques into the realm of representational drawing and painting. As is often the case with Price’s work a coherent and clear position is avoided, and the meanings here of satirical caricature, abstraction, or even painting itself, are unstable or unresolved. (From the press release).

n this exhibition, the artist will present 23 monochrome paintings, which will be installed by a circus troop composed of two acrobats, three juggler, three clowns and two mimes. These paintings are installed into the main gallery following a precise choreographed process dictated by the artist. Neither the circus performance nor the paintings will be visible to the public; only 23 photographs in the first room of the gallery will document the installation.
Monk describes this unusual presentation as an artwork in itself: « The act painting will be almost hidden the paintings await to be activated. The paintings become what they are during the days before the exhibition is made public. They are nothing at the moment they are there to become something a magical energy will be added by the people who are there to perform the magical act »
