Exhibitions Grandes Galeries
From 21 January to 20 March 2011
The exhibition, curated by Eric de Chassey, director of the French Academy in Rome, will be conducted with the cooperation of Fabrice Stroun, associated with the independent curator MAMCO Geneva, where this exhibition will be exposed in the summer of 2011. It will also present two site-specific projects of four artists: Francis Baudevin, Stéphane Dafflon, Philippe Decrauzat and Scott King.
EUROPUNK, is the first international exhibition presenting the alternative production in the field of visual arts, in the second half of 1970, especially that made in the United Kingdom and France, but also in Germany, Switzerland, Italy and the Netherlands. Put value in figures such as Jamie Reid, who invented the famous Queen's face with eyes and mouth covered by the name of the band the Sex Pistols and the title of the song "God Save the Queen, Malcolm McLaren, creator, manager and deus ex machina same band, or the French Bazooka team (consisting of Olivia Clavel, Lulu Larsen, Kiki Picasso, Loulou Picasso, Ti-5 Dur, Vidal Bernard and Jean Rouzaud) of which will be posted on the abundant production of this movement remained anonymous for a long time and unearthed after a long search through Europe. Will be met for the first time more than 550 objects, some of whom are well known, others such as clothes unpublished, fanzines, posters, leaflets, drawings and collages, album covers, movies, etc.. from private and public collections.
dramatising the incredible quality and viability of these alternative methods of creating art, the exhibition will invite you to discover how the punk counterculture has represented both a desire to make a clean sweep of the past that a profound cultural renewal. This movement is still synonymous with new energy and the principle of maximum creative freedom, with deep political roots and the wider social and artistic effects. The exhibition will open with the first step of the Sex Pistols television in 1976 - the official date of appearance of the punk movement - in the program "So It Goes" for Granada Television in Manchester, and will be shut with the first step of Joy Division on BBC in 1979.
The time now allows us to have a historical view of the artistic dimension of this movement and to analyze the aesthetic qualities of the work of people who have made the history of punk art, and which today are increasingly taken to example of a new generation of artists. From a musical point of view the punk movement has been largely gutted by experts and eyewitnesses such as Jon Savage - author and historian, whose celebrated England's Dreaming, translated into many languages, has become the book ahead for an understanding of the movement - and Jerry Goossens - a journalist who participated in the Dutch punk movement and is now considered among the most connoisseurs of the phenomenon in the Netherlands - which will offer their assistance with unpublished texts written for the catalog of this exhibition.
