Etrange et pro
che (Strange and close)
Michelangelo Pistoletto, artistic director of EVENTO 2011, and the CAPC Museum of Contemporary Art in Bordeaux invite the Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven (Netherlands).
The exhibition Strange and Close is the result of a meeting between the two museums, two art institutions whose history attests the notoriety. The CAPC invited the Van Abbemuseum invite as an artist, in response the Van Abbemuseum presents works mainly from recent acquisitions to its collection, associated with the intervention of several guest artists.
The exhibition title is borrowed from the philosopher Homi Bhabha. For him "strange and close" to understanding the essential concept of "neighborhood".
For the Van Abbemuseum, this title can also consider the relationship between viewers and artworks as objects of observation. The museum works and the device attempts to reveal the tensions and negotiations required that emanate from different relationships with our neighbors. These relational exchanges, across the globe and the city, change with the globalization process that characterizes our society. What animosities and what competitions they emerge from these new relationships? How contemporary artists react in this context? How social organization reflects it's past, how she agrees to adjust to new values, see the world differently?
The nave of the ACPC welcomed the architectural works of Marjetica Potrc, Dan Peterman, Bartana and Artur Zmijewski, as well as those of Absalom, from the collection of CAPC. Different platforms have visitors videos of Chto Delate, Daniza Dakic, Harun Farocki and other artists. The mezzanine is invested by the works of Akram Zaatari, Nedko Solakov, Aydan Murtezaoglu. Historical works of Michelangelo Pistoletto find their place within this system.

Characteristics range from harmless to the powerful brotherhood association financial objectives and policies anything but altruistic. Especially in times of crisis, secret societies offer proxies for large political, social and technological mainstream.
This set of obsession, illusion, and impenetrability of clean energy subversive secret societies which since time immemorial has fascinated, frightened, which fed conspiracy theories but, also, is still fell in time to propose an alternative hidden value systems more conventional, especially in times of economic crises, political and technological. The exhibition shows how the secret societies, with their initiation rituals, their specific formal language and inner circle refer to some of the mechanisms of contemporary art and how in contrast, the artists touch on these rituals and the symbols in a way that is surprisingly varied.

L'art du costume

Opera, ballet, theatre and cinema all owe a considerable part of their power of attraction to the art of costume. Because costumes not only clothe our heroes but they also reveal their personality, highlight their social status, their cultural roots, their character, their mood …
In fact costumes speak to us, they recount, they evoke< And it is this unique "language" that is unveiled here in this wonderful exhibition devised by Giulio Achilli.
On display, from the workshops of the Opéra National de Bordeaux, the National Centre of Stage Costume in Moulins, the archives of the embroidery workshops of Maison Vermont, Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture, the Lace Manufacture Museum in Retournac, and the Rome Opera, will be work by famous designers and painters, marvels of lace and embroidery, examples of production and decorative techniques … 
Every nook and cranny of the Grand Théâtre will be adorned with lavish and unusual items. Children will even be able to try their hand at creating costumes.
The exhibition has something for everyone. It provides an exceptional glimpse of a fascinating part of our heritage.
An amazing experience guaranteed !

It is a scenario proposed by science fiction writer and theorist Mark von Schlegell American born exposure Dystopia. In this scenario that formed the basis for Mark von Schlegel and Alexis Vaillant, Curator at the CAPC to build exposure, dystopia or utopia in reverse, was understood not as an end but a beginning.
Against a backdrop of global crisis, contemporary art is facing its own dissolution theory, in a reality completely laid bare. The utopian avant-garde is itself seen as in cahoots with a destructive consumer capitalism with a fatal stroke seems impossible to slow down. Mark von Schlegel, the traditional end of the Enlightenment and Dystopia understood as -''imaginary place or circumstances of the worst "* - offers a possible future for contemporary art.
The dystopia is the present from which our vision of the past and the future seems compromised. Immersed in this, his dystopian art is constrained by a limited point of view that generates an indeterminate and fictional narrative potential. As in the theory that new universes are born in black holes is concentrated in a dystopia than utopia appear. It is from the dismissal of dystopia as utopia is conceived in its ideal size and uncertain. What makes Mark Schlegell say that "Dystopia, today."
As he recalls: "With the twilight of the last beautiful days of the industrial era and the widespread awareness of its ravages, art can, at best, say the absolute irony of his posture, and at worst, to show less of an attitude that, in the opinion of all, is truly apocalyptic. "** For him, the ability of art to dramatize his powerlessness against a complex monolithic cultural system provides early narrative whose possibilities are endless. The exhibition begins a mapping of those opportunities.
The sculptures, installations, paintings, performance, films and publications of forty-six international artists, historical and emerging, are presented in the entire ground floor of the CAPC. Haunted by the flaws and disorder, the works are perceived as well as apocalyptic visions than as abstract speculations made in the present. They favor, according to the wishes of von Schlegel, a reading of the exhibition as a work of fiction, as can be seen the catalog written in parallel to the exhibition. New Title Dystopia, this illustrated book is the latest novel by Mark von Schlegel. The exhibition is divided in turn into two parts. On the one hand, a dystopian landscape deployed in the nave of the CAPC and designed as a film set of John Carpenter and the other seven rooms or cells in which the works explore reflexively the dystopian aspects of our time . Finally, the assembly is immersed in a bath color "red-fahrenheit" evokes a world as caught in a kind of permanent sunset.

The exhibition "The First runaway" Johan Furåker can be seen as the avatar of contemporary adventures of Albert Dada, a journey told by a patient and a psychiatrist at the turn of the century, decrypted and analyzed by a philosopher to the late 1990s and a journey saw in the second half of the 2000s by a Swedish artist taken by the story without an image to which these images belong today.

En 1887, Albert Dadas fut la première personne à recevoir le diagnostic de fugueur pathologique. Incapable de résister à l’impulsion de tout abandonner – famille, amis, emploi – et d’aller là où bon lui semblait, il voyageait presque toujours à pied, dans un état second dont seule l’hypnose pouvait raviver le souvenir, errant de ville en ville, de Paris à Moscou, passant par Prague et Constantinople, avant d’être arrêté comme vagabond et obligé de rentrer chez lui à Bordeaux. Son cas déclencha une petite épidémie « d’aliénés voyageurs » en France puis se répandit ensuite en Italie, en Allemagne et en Russie, mais semble-t-il dans aucun autre pays. Elle ne dura que deux décennies : après 1909 les diagnostics de fugue se feront de plus en plus rares. Qui était Albert Dadas ? De quoi souffrait-il vraiment ? Peut-on considérer comme réelle une maladie dont l’épidémie se limite si étroitement dans l’espace et le temps ? En nous référant aux tableaux de Johan Furåker sur Dadas et ses prodigieuses pérégrinations, nous puiserons les réponses à ces questions dans Les Fous Voyageurs de l’éminent philosophe canadien, Ian Hacking, qui nous a livré une analyse passionnante de Dadas, de son médecin, le Docteur Philippe Tissié, et des vecteurs médicaux et culturels qui créèrent un environnement favorable à l’épanouissement de ce phénomène dont Bordeaux fut l’épicentre.

Le CAPC invited the art association Buy-Sellf to propose an exhibition to take stock of artists and works that the association supported the last 10 years.
A return on works arising from production planning, a focus on the featured artists who made history of Buy-sellf (Anita Molinero, Mathieu Mercier, Bruno Peinado Perbos Laurent, Guillaume Poulain, Wilfrid Almendra ...) and projects by emerging artists (Sylvain Rousseau, Stephanie Cherpin, Frederick Plateus ...). The reference to the genre film acts as a link in the operative stage design of this exhibition wich is deliberately simulate the special effects, using light-dark, stagings and games, incorporating the works as elements used in the construction of a narrative thread.

These seven paintings are set in an anonymous city and archetypal, anchored in an austere and dehumanized modernity . Each of these modern landscape architecture integrate in its angular and authoritarian construction, a character expressing anger or distress. These skaters dispossessed of their board, scream mute, face with urban constraints which they "paint" tirelessly contours. Through Hyperrealistic series Public Domain shows bodies in search of balance, identity, obstinate to overcome failure and pain.
