For the 2024 edition of Paris Internationale, Crèvecœur is pleased to present new works by Nino Kapanadze, Naoki Sutter-Shudo, alongside with the sculptures by Jessi Reaves in collaboration with the gallery Bridget Donahue.

In Nino Kapanadze’s recent body of work a garden, just like a canvas, outgrows limits of purely visible field and becomes a mise en scène for repetitive enchantement, speculation and observation. Here, presented painterly settings stay hyper sensible to light and are devoted to silence. Finding expressions in simultaneously uneasy, tender and dramatic manners, the most recent paintings break their immediate ways through seasons that are never quite so certain.

Naoki Sutter-Shudo’s sculpture is direct and sensitive. It has, at first glance, a form of formal evidence, a silent eurhythmics, which contrasts with its multiplicity of small narratives, whispered intimate references, coincidences or déjà-vus. They rest on a quasi-impossible equilibrium, whether in physical properties, iconography, or meaning.

Jessi Reaves blends iconic modernist design with an irreverent aesthetic in sculpture that toys with functionality. Often starting with found furniture, she dismantles, converts, remakes, enhances, pads, and embellishes in ways that allow the suggestion of physical contact or use. By breaking things open, she proposes that they be reexamined visually, in the light of renovation and rebellion.

Throughout the week, we are excited to present a solo exhibition of Louise Sartor, Old patterns at 5 & 7 rue de Beaune, and the group exhibition Bodily Powers featuring the artists Koichi Enomoto, Ester Knapová, Stanislava Kovalcikova, Autumn Ramsey, Emma Reyes, Margaret Salmon and Henry Shum at 9 rue des Cascades.
