For his first solo show at Chantal Crousel Gallery, Wade Guyton presents a new series of paintings that are ostensibly black monochromes. Made with an Epson large-format printer in the same manner as the paintings he has been producing for the last three years, these works are printed on factory-primed linen intended for oil painting and not inkjet printing. Recently, the artist noticed that some of the linen he received from the factory reacted differently to the inkjet printer than those he had previously. The marks, images, and letters he was printing became absorbed into the porous surface rather than “sitting on the surface”. These paintings were set aside as failed works and these new rolls of linen as unusable material. Because of this difference in the ink’s interaction with the surface, the artist began to overprint these paintings with a Photoshop-drawn rectangle “filled” with the colour black.

For this new exhibition at the Galerie Chantal Crousel, Anri Sala conceives and organizes a space where cycles and rotations are orchestrated on a tempo divided in three musical times of which one is silent. This particular timing reveals what becomes visible in between the cycles, enriched and affected by a previous experience. Anri Sala provokes and extends the qualities of improvisation defining its nuances and potential. He intensifies its specifics by recording them with a gained experience.

Chantal Crousel is pleased to announce an exhibition of recent and new works by Mona Hatoum. This much expected event will bridge a 13 year gap since her last solo exhibition in Paris.
During this period, Mona Hatoum's work has been exhibited widely in Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia and Mexico. Her exhibition "The Entire World as a Foreign Land" was the inaugural exhibition for the launch of Tate Britain, London, in 2000.
She has also participated in the 1995 Venice Biennale, the 1995 Istanbul Biennial, Documenta XI, 2002, the 2005 Venice Biennale and the 2006 Biennale of Sydney.
In this exhibition Mona Hatoum presents six sculptural works related to the sphere of intimacy (the artist's and the viewer's) that articulate an ongoing friction between the notions of home, security, warmth and their opposites.
