cutlog’s next edition will have the support by the swiss bank Pictet & Cie and the ARTE channel.
Paris Bourse de Commerce,
october 18 – 21, 2012
cutlog 2012, a dynamic, international fair, with an “under the radar” selection.
cutlog, a Parisian, cutting-edge contemporary art fair dedicated to promoting international emerging or established galleries which are supporting emerging artists, will hold its fourth edition from the 18th to the 21st of October 2012. The galleries of cutlog 2012 will present artworks from their emerging artists, as well as the latest works from their established positions. cutlog is both an alternative and a complement to the other art fairs, focused on presenting under-the-radar galleries, it offers a platform to up and coming artists, as well a bridge between galleries and established collectors. Held under the dome of the Bourse de Commerce, France’s historical equivalent of Wall Street. It is a skip and a jump away from the Grand Palais, the Louvre and the Centre Pompidou. There, in the circular, 1000 meter square room, it disrupts the typical, stern patterns of fairs and encourages a dialogue from galleries to visitors.
Each year, it selects 40 international and french galleries, offering a new visibility and a move away from Parisian art fairs. Since its kick-off four years ago, cutlog has steadily gathered the upper crust of worldwide press, collectors, museum directors, curators and art lovers.
Over 20 000 visitors have chosen to visit cutlog and its 42 galleries, some established, some up and coming.
Under the high patronage of the French Ministry of Culture and supported by the City of Paris, Cutlog welcomed a great number of collectors and institutions, both French and international.
The projects exhibited under the dome or in front of it received a lot of attention from all visitors.
The first artist film festival attracted an audience of fans and professionals.
Loyal to cutlog, the bank Pictet&Cie confirmed its support by becoming the official partner of the event and will create a Pictet Prize for a gallery selected to cutlog.
The ARTE/cutlog prize was awarded to Romanian artist duo Cristian Bors and Marius Ritiu, for their piece “No Borders Equals Tolerance”, Marion de Cannière Gallery (Antwerp, Belgium)
Jury members were : Fabrice Hergott (Directof of the Musée d’Arts Moderne), Camille Morineau (Conservator of Centre Pompidou), Fabrice Bousteau (Chief Editor Beaux Arts Magazine), Emilie de Jong (ARTE), Angelina Medori (ARTE), Isabel Marant (fashion designer) et Matali Crasset (designer).
cutlog confirms its position as an innovative fair, becoming a key moment in the French and international artistic calendar.

Artist’s film festival

Bourse de Commerce’s square
CRISTIAN MARIUS RITIU & BORS, “NO BORDERS EQUALS TOLERANCE”, MARION DE CANNIERE GALLERY
These two Romanian artists has installed a fully customized trailer according to the decorative principles at work in gypsies homes. By combining the features of vernacular architecture gypsy to the volumes of the caravan, they offer the opportunity to attend a meeting looking as incongruous as accidental but an umbrella and a sewing machine on a dissecting table. The occupation of public space as a gypsy camp thus challenges the notion of hospitality to the very hour when multiplied parking areas for travelers as a contemporary ghettos.
MICHEL PEETZ, “IMAGES D’ETE”, GERY ART GALLERY, NAMUR
ETE (summer) : The hottest season of the northern hemisphere begins at the solstice in June and ends at the September equinox.
ETE, past participle of the verb “être”, in french. These two meanings summarize and unify the 30 shots taken and worked by Michael Peetz. Still images, giving sips of colors to dream, to take off the spirit if not body.
MARC GERENTON, “GNOME”, LES SINGULIERS GALLERY
Marc Gerenton says he has to solve the form to be held between foot and hand in space carved wood that shapes it. It will therefore be put in the form itself, with its resonant be sensitive while remaining within its concern esthetique. These gnomes come from the dark depths of time, we say our fears and our effort to do most anything to do. Marc Gerenton be faced by the challenge of creating the form entredeux which requires him to approach knowledge. The search for the form, by its tensioning, is an attempt to understand life. It is even, perhaps, the royal road to the condition of a dialogue with the thought.
GUILLAUME CABANTOUS, “ULTIMATE”, FLORENCE LEONI GALLERY
Guillaume Cabantous has been exploring for more than ten years the unsuspected artistic ressources of a very common object, the windscreen of a car, only material of its in situ installations.
