\"\" Ebecho Muslimova and Denis Savary, Paris Internationale, 2017, Galerie Maria Bernheim, Zurich<\/p>\n

Last week, art aficionados flocked to Paris for FIAC and Paris Internationale, two of Europe\u2019s most exciting art fairs. With an impressive edition of frieze London <\/a>still fresh in everyone\u2019s minds, gallerists had to pull out all the stops to impress collectors, curators and other critical characters in the French capital. Five booths have been firmly cemented in our minds ever since.<\/p>\n

\"\" Ebecho Muslimova and Denis Savary, Paris Internationale, 2017, Galerie Maria Bernheim, Zurich.<\/p>\n

Most Amusing<\/h2>\n

\nOn the wall of Maria Bernheim\u2019s booth, visitors could smile at Russian-American artist Ebecho Muslimova\u2019s signature drawings. In all of them, her comic alter-ego Fatebe is inevitably depicted naked in some absurd situation: hanging from a fan or transformed into an old-school desk, for example. The artist re-appropriates jokes about fat people, making Fatebe\u2019s body a malleable source of endless possibilities instead of a punchline.
\nPresented in front of those drawings were Denis Savary\u2019s ice-cream colored ceramics, all composed of an Alfa Romeo car model topped with an Italian dessert. Again, this was a decisively humourous exercise in reworking the clich\u00e9s around italianit\u00e0; the way Savary made onlookers (including the author himself) long for a trip down south.

\"\" Jack Lavender, Paris Internationale, 2017, The Approach, London<\/p>\n

Most Likely to Make You Book a Trip to Kent, Even If You Don\u2019t Really Know Where That Is<\/h2>\n

The Approach<\/a>, London<\/em>
\n With works by Jack Lavender at Paris Internationale<\/em>
\nJack Lavender\u2019s works surpass classical notions of style and content, both individually and collectively, with an almost shocking ease. Those shown at Paris Internationale were inspired by Kent, the region the artist now lives in. Blown out, printed on banner material and then covered with shiny PVC, his drawings look both like post-human runes and primitive graffiti. A series of sculptures intrigue; they\u2019re towers of stones, all oddly and beautifully shaped by the forces of nature and collected by the artist around his home. On the floor itself, cards advertising one of Kent\u2019s mini-cab services \u2014 and proudly proclaiming \u201cIn God we trust\u201d\u2014 formed an irregular carpet on which one felt hesitant to step at first. Iconoclasm, nihilism and nature collide in Lavender\u2019s work. Rarely has this combination looked so fresh.<\/p>\n

\"\" Matthieu Haberard and Nils Alix-Taberling, Paris Internationale, 2017, Gianni Manhattan, Vienna<\/p>\n

Most Terrifying, But Also Oddly Sensual<\/h2>\n

Gianni Manhattan<\/a>, Vienna<\/em>
\n With works by Matthieu Haberard and Nils Alix-Taberling at Paris Internationale<\/em>
\nIf Rainer Werner Fassbinder and H.R. Giger went on an art shopping spree together, chances are they\u2019d end up buying everything on display at Gianni Manhattan\u2019s booth. Five sculptures by Matthieu Haberard, realized with a special type of polymer, resemble the sleeves of a futurist suit of armour. The French artist left them unpainted; their crisp whiteness puts one in mind of an exoskeleton from which some gigantic insect just hatched.
\nNils Alix-Taberling\u2019s hybrids are even creepier. His largest (and most successful) work (\u201cLouve\u201d, 2017) is a combination of the multi-breasted Ephesus Diana, Officer Ellen Ripley\u2019s worst nightmare and a blogpost about romantic Parisian fashion. Tackling sex, horror, power and multiple mythologies, his work seems both informed by art-historical references and devoid of any dependence on them.<\/p>\n

\"\" Stefan Tcherepnin, FIAC, 2017, Freedman Fitzpatrick, Los Angeles<\/p>\n

Most Unironically Regressive<\/h2>\n

Freedman Fitzpatrick<\/a>, Los Angeles<\/em>
\n With works by Stefan Tcherepnin at FIAC<\/em>
\nStanding in this LA gallery\u2019s booth, one almost feels relieved by how enjoyable the works on display are, especially compared to the rest of the selection at FIAC. Two very fluffy and very funny cookie monster-type beings occupy the centre of the space. They look at works in which they (or their kin) are represented \u2014 in photographs, a video, and in an abstracted way on two outstanding canvases. While the winks to childhood memories seem obvious, Tcherepnin\u2019s works don\u2019t come across as childish per se. This is due partially to the high technical quality in which they were executed. It\u2019s also because of the artist\u2019s decision to refrain from imposing a specific narrative on the viewer, a gesture that could have pushed this presentation into shallow territories. Here, Tcherepnin manages to shed a light on a thing as rare as it is delightful in adulthood: imagination and humor unburdened by excessive irony.<\/p>\n

\"\" Vivian Suter, Simone Fattal, Sylvie Fleury, M\u00e9lanie Matranga, Pamela Rosenkranz, Martin Soto Climent, Cali Thornhill DeWitt, FIAC, 2017, Karma International, Zurich and Los Angeles<\/p>\n

Most Successful in Combining Politically Charged Content with Desirable Aesthetics<\/h2>\n

Karma International<\/a>, Zurich and Los Angeles<\/em>
\n With works by Vivian Suter, Simone Fattal, Sylvie Fleury, M\u00e9lanie Matranga, Pamela Rosenkranz, Martin Soto Climent, Cali Thornhill DeWitt at FIAC<\/em>
\nA peculiar type of tension pervaded Karma International\u2019s booth. Somehow, all of the works interacted in a subtle game of topical hide-and-seek. Textiles by Vivian Suter, hung high on a wall, felt both light and intense; they also worked well as backdrops to the amateurishly minimalist ceramics of Simone Fattal. This combination, emitting an aura of earthiness and malleability, was faced by meme-like works courtesy Cali Thornhill DeWitt, combining interchangeable terminologies with stock images. Next to those in-your-face zingers hung one of Pamela Rosenkranz\u2019s works addressing the biological links between humans and house cats, looking like panther fur covered in baby puke: beautiful, repellent and disturbing at the same time. Martin Soto Climent\u2019s play on depth and transparency, as well as Sylvie Fleury\u2019s fatalistic neon stating \u201cC\u2019est la vie!\u201d rounded out the idea that Karma International\u2019s booth focused on subtle, alternative ways to illustrate the political.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
