    <description>THE OTHER&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Whilst the subject (or the ‘I’) exists both in-itself and for-itself (en-soi et pour-soi), it does not exist in isolation but alongside other subjectivities, and therefore has a third mode of existence, described as ‘being-for-others’ (être-pour-autrui). [...] This relationship inaugurates a dialectic of desire, in which the subject strives after an object that is always in the possession of the other.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;David Macey, Dictionary of Critical Theory, Penguin Books.</description>

      <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lessismoreprojects.com/lessismoreprojects/LESS_IS_MORE_PROJECTS_THE_OTHER/Entrees/2010/2/21_Stefano_Cerio__Apparizioni._Exposition_a_la_Galerie_Italienne,_Paris,_France_files/S.Rita%20Mare.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.lessismoreprojects.com/lessismoreprojects/LESS_IS_MORE_PROJECTS_THE_OTHER/Media/object061_1.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:590px; height:443px;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;La Galerie Italienne expose pour la première fois les œuvres de Stefano Cerio. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Il s’agit d’une série de huit photographies intitulée Apparitions. Ces œuvres représentent chacune l’apparition d’un saint ou d’une sainte, figurée par une statue polychrome et placée dans un environnement vierge de toute présence humaine. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Dès le départ, une dichotomie certaine se dégage de ces Apparitions car l’attention se fixe entre désir et réalité sur l’objet et sa « vision ». Une apparition anthropomorphe monumentale semble « posée » dans un paysage où l’Homme n’a pas laissé d’empreinte. Le paysage dont la virginité est presque irréelle, contraste avec la matérialité des statues qui accaparent le point focal. Seule la figure divine souligne la présence humaine de l’artiste qui l’a engendrée et révèle ainsi le renversement des signes représentés. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Cette série pose en filigrane des questions lancinantes dont les réponses ont préoccupé la culture occidentale jusqu’à nos jours. Comment matérialiser une apparition ? Comment conférer une aura spirituelle à de simples objets ? Est-il possible ou souhaitable de réconcilier cette opposition ? Quelle est la limite entre réalisme et kitsch ? &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Cette recherche vers la compréhension de l’irréel à travers le concret  du symbole est obtenue par l’artiste en photographiant les statues dans les paysages choisis et non à travers des effets de photomontage. La qualité de la réalisation technique, entre monumentalité cadrée, lumière et ombre dosées, sert admirablement ses préoccupations théoriques.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;L’artiste se prêtera à une séance de signature de catalogue au cours du vernissage.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;La Galerie Italienne ha il piacere di presentare a partire dal 10 febbraio 2010 e per la prima volta a Parigi una serie di fotografie dell’artista Stefano Cerio il cui titolo è Apparizioni. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In mostra otto fotografie in ciascuna delle quali una madonna o un santo si manifesta, appare nella sua materialità. In effetti la rivelazione avviene attraverso una statua, icona materiale, in un paesaggio « vergine », inanimato, che diviene onirico grazie all’uso dei contrasti forti di luce e colore che Cerio abilmente padroneggia.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Sia dal primo sguardo, si evidenzia una dicotomia forte, una sensazione di straneamento creata dal contrapporsi di reale e desiderio, di oggetto e sua manifestazione.  Un’apparizione antropomorfa monumentale sembra posarsi in un paesaggio privo della presenza umana, completamente vuoto di un qualsiasi elemento che all’uomo possa ricondursi. Il paesaggio che è quasi irreale contrasta con la materialità della statua che in ogni foto occupa il punto focale. La figura divina appare maestosa e solo la sua presenza sottolinea la presenza stessa dell’artista che l’ha fatta in questo modo rivelare questionandone la funzione simbolica di oggetto, mettendone in luce proprio la finitezza , il suo essere kitsch e prodotto di consumo. La concretezza kitsch della statua non da risposte, non svela nulla ma semplicemente imbellisce la realtà e la confonde.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In questa serie sono sottese delle questioni importanti ed universali che l’uomo occidentale si poneva e si pone tutt’oggi. Come materializzare il divino ? Come dare una dimensione spirituale ad un mero oggetto che è frutto di una produzione dozzinale e non artistica ? Quale è il limite tra realismo e kitsch ?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Questa ricerca che Cerio compie per conoscere l’irreale attraverso la concretezza del simbolo è magistralmente ottenuta fotografando delle piccole statue in paesaggi reali e utilizzando la tecnica del banco ottico senza dunque far ricorso a fotomontaggi o eccessive manipolazioni computerizzate. La qualità della realizzazione tecnica che comprende l’oggetto scelto, il dosaggio delle luci e delle ombre, i colori etc, svela mirabilmente le questioni e le preoccupazioni teoriche che l’artista si pone e vuole porci. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Biographie&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Photographe professionnel depuis l’âge de 18 ans, Stefano Cerio a tout d’abord collaboré avec le magazine l’Espresso, avant de se tourner vers les photographies de recherche et les vidéos artistiques. Son travail a déjà fait l’objet de plusieurs expositions personnelles dont, en 2008, l’exposition « Souvenirs » à la galerie Changing Role de Rome et en 2009, l’exposition « Sintetico Italiano » organisé par le Musée de Capodimonte dans la Certosa de Capri.  En 2008, il a réalisé une œuvre site-specific à Rivoli (Turin) commissionné par la Région Piémont à l’occasion de l’exposition « Le porte del Mediterraneo ».&lt;br/&gt;Actuellement Stefano Cerio vit et travaille entre Rome et Paris.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;La Galerie Italienne &lt;br/&gt;46, rue de Seine&lt;br/&gt;75006 Paris&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Date de vernissage 		10 février 2010&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Dates exposition 		du 10 février au 13 mars 2010&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Horaires 			10h -13h / 14h -19h du mardi au samedi&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Directeur 			Alessandro Pron&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Contact presse 		             Marie Cambefort&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Tel. +33 (0)1 49 29 07 74&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;e-mail:  &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:contact@galerieitalienne.com/&quot;&gt;contact@galerieitalienne.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>

Questions regarding the sexual connotations of private and public spheres are at the center of Emgreen &amp;amp; Dragset’s conceptual artistic practice. For Texte zur Kunst, the two produced an artists’ edition that forms part of their artistic reflection and curatorial mise-en-scène of the private rooms of collectors at the current 53rd Venice Biennale. In &amp;quot;The Collectors&amp;quot;, Emgreen &amp;amp; Dragset installed their own pieces and those by befriended artists in the fictitious residencies of A. Family and Mr. B at the Danish and Nordic Pavilion in the Giardini to develop a narrative about the relation between art, design, taste, and sexual identity in times of crisis. The edition object Gefundene Identit&amp;amp;$228;t [Found Identity], consists of a wallet containing personal belongings of an unknown person. Parts of this portable collection are a letter, a photograph, a money bill, a condom and other objects of everyday life. Altogether, they only give a vague hint at the identity of their owner.</description>
