DRAWING DIALOGUE
JOCHEN GERNER + GUILLAUME CHAUCHAT
ESPACE K – 10 Rue du Hohwald b+f : laiterie
opening 31st march at 7PM
One of them covers the sheet of paper with a multitude of different objects, characters and details that he describes in their most simplest form, piecing them together to make charts of pictograms. The other artist with the his dash of his paintbrush evokes figures and fractured objects, as if masked by their own reversed image or hidden behind a fine artboard grid. By the way in which they think out and express themselves through the drawing, jochen Gerner and Guillaume Chauchat share several points in common. They have been sending their work back and forth through the post, the drawings they receive from each other are the starting points for their own response, a dialogue is established. During the exchange, certain elements in the work allow the artists to inject something of their personal universe into the drawing of the other: the dialogue becomes a face to face conversation, with the other and oneself. By ensuring that each drawing can viewed alone or as part of a series, the artists invite you to imagine new meanings and associations from this record.

JEANNE BISCHOFF
AEDEN – 1 rue des aveugles – tram a+b+c+d+f : homme de fer
opening 30th march at 7 PM
Born in 1978, Nancy and graduate of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Mulhouse, Jeanne Bischoff lives and works in Strasbourg, where she has developed a most personal drawing style, between abstract illustration and embroidery. Fascinated by the finely detailed engravings in the 19th c review La Mode Illustrée (published between 1860 and 1932), she select certain parts of the image that she then cuts out, colours and combines, as if a scientist had swopped his microscope for a kaleidoscope. This experimental protocol leaves her free to draw landscapes made up of coral, human organs and strange maritime flora. Jeanne Bischoff’s books follow the trail of shapes and colours that she drops behind her as she continues her graphic journey.
FROM 23RD MARCH TO 2TH APRIL (Wed -Sun) 3-8 PM
DANS LE CIEL TOUT VA BIEN
AEDEN – 1 rue des aveugles – tram a+b+c+d+f : homme de fer
opening 30th march at 7 PM
There is little to say about the life of Dans Le Ciel Tout Va Bien as his anonymity is part of his artistic approach. However, he is interested by photography, music and literature and that through drawing he has developed his own personal and simple visual language. As an active participant in the independent publishing scene he has been involved in the organisation of the Fanzines! festival, Paris in recent years and he regularly publishes his own books which he sees as an ongoing exploration running parallel to his illustrating. Since 2011, Daniel Tout Va Bien has started a series of pencil and felt-tip drawings on Post- Its that appear both on social media and in print.
