Xavier Hufkens is pleased to announce Anne-Marie Schneider's first solo exhibition in the gallery.
Drawing is a daily activity for Anne-Marie Schneider. She views it as a form of thinking, a manner in which to grasp reality and deliver her response. Anne-Marie Schneider sees an important role for the artist as society's conscience and a defender of ideas.
The 'Chemin de la Croix' (Stations of the Cross), a new series of 18 drawings, offers an indirect commentary on the film 'The Temptation of Christ' by Mel Gibson and condemns the consumption of violence, in general. Like her drawings, the films by Schneider are based on a free association of ideas. In 'Mariage', the film she is presenting in the gallery, Anne-Marie Schneider plays with the feelings, recollections and needs surrounding personal attachment.
Anne-Marie Schneider has held solo exhibitions in the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and the FRAC Picardie and has also participated in Documenta X.
The Centre Pompidou has 10 of her drawings in its permanent collection.
The opening of 'Passages' is taking place on Thursday, 23 September, from 18h00 to 21h00.
