  • As we mark the start of the 2015 season, we’ve collected some of the most outstanding group exhibitions currently on view around the world, from Beirut to Beijing. The curatorial forces behind these exhibitions move from meditations on particular mediums, such as painting or photography, to works by artists united by geography or movement, to collections of works that correspond to specific films, working methods, or even notions of time and space.

BIOGRAPHY

Born in 1974 in France, Isabelle Cornaro lives and works in Paris. Cornaro uses a range of media including drawing, photography, video and, more recently, installation. Her works often reference animated films, iconic landscape design and exhibition views, sourced from historical and cultural archives. Her practice counter-intuitively employs a conceptual approach to investigate the ways in which objects and artworks are propped up, animated and fetishized. Cornaro’s constructed arrangements abstract and schematize familiar objects specifically selected for their sentimental or symbolic value, as a means of triggering a semiotic reading of these objects as opposed to an affected sense of recognition. Informed by the notions of the gaze and the screen, Cornaro’s works recurrently dramatize pictorial systems, such as the classical rules of perspective, to critically reflect upon their involvement in ideological constructions of space.

Isabelle Cornaro solo show include Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2015), Kunsthalle Bern (curated by Fabrice Stroun), Bern, Switzerland (2013).
