Bernardi Roig: NO/Escape |
25 OCTOBER 2014 – 15 FEBRUARY 2015
THE PHILLIPS COLLECTION
WASHINGTON, DC, USA |
In NO/Escape, major Spanish artist Bernardi Roig will occupy unexpected interior and exterior spaces of The Phillips Collection with six sculptural works that challenge visitors’ perception and experience. |
Evoking the poignant social commentary of Honoré Daumier’s lithographs, Roig’s art blends minimalist forms with highly charged expressions of anxiety and loneliness to depict the desperation and loss of individuality that result from the mass-produced imagery of contemporary society. Typical of the artist’s work are the cruel-looking white plaster figures cast from real people, often cornered or crushed against walls or twisting in pain. |
NO/Escape is part of the Phillips’s ongoing Intersections series that highlights contemporary art and artists in conversation with the museum’s permanent collection, history, and architecture. |

ay: Rythmes sans fin” offers a new and contemporary reading of the work of Robert Delaunay, according it a place in the history of modern art that goes beyond the Orphism and the Optical Abstraction to which it is too often reduced. Through some eighty works, including paintings, drawings, reliefs, mosaics, models and photographs, the exhibition explores the relatively-unknown second period in the work of this exponent of “pure painting”. Following WWI, the coloured discs of Delaunay’s pre-War years found themselves transformed into circular modules which – repeated to infinity – became synonymous with the rhythm of modern life. |

ROBERT DELAUNAY: RYTHMES SANS FIN |
15 OCTOBER 2014 – 12 JANUARY 2015
CENTRE POMPIDOU
PARIS, FRANCE |
Robert Delaunay: Rythmes sans fin offers a new and contemporary reading of the work of Robert Delaunay, according it a place in the history of modern art that goes beyond the Orphism and the Optical Abstraction to which it is too often reduced. |
Through some eighty works, including paintings, drawings, reliefs, mosaics, models and photographs, the exhibition explores the relatively-unknown second period in the work of this exponent of “pure painting”. |
Following WWI, the coloured discs of Delaunay’s pre-War years found themselves transformed into circular modules which – repeated to infinity – became synonymous with the rhythm of modern life. |
Robert Delaunay: Rythmes sans fin reveals the extraordinary wealth of the Centre Pompidou’s holdings of the work of Robert and Sonia Delaunay. Thanks in particular to the substantial gift to the nation made by Sonia and her son Charles in 1964, these are unequalled in the world. |
