[JEANSELLEM VIEWER] — LA CAMPAGNE - SEKVENS 25.08 - 05.09.1973 — Categories: docs, press — Keywords: Galerie S:t Petri, Jean Sellem, archive — Category: docs — The freedom of gesture, the transformations of the body and personality in continuous sequences, as well as the metamorphoses of nature, reflected in topographical studies of detail, constitute the recurring theme of this experimental photographic exhibition.Through seemingly humorous framings and divisions into phases, it seeks to make visible what Bergson calls the “flow of the present” (la durée), while also attempting to represent chronologically the causal processes that precede every action arising from logical consequence, both in human beings and in eternally moving matter.Every present moment is permeated by all past moments.Jean SellemLund, August 1973 — — — Category: docs — — — Category: docs — l a c a m p a g n eThe studies for l a c a m p a g n e (the countryside), carried out by Paul-Armand Gette, began in 1971 in Käglinge and were completed this year. Entomological and botanical observations as well as notes on temperature and humidity were made at various times.The result is presented at Galerie S:t Petri from 17–23 August. Last year Paul-Armand Gette showed a similar exhibition on the forest and the shore around Ringsjön, which likewise lasted one week.The exhibition on the countryside also forms the basis for the sixth issue of the experimental art journal New Eter, which is published in French.s e k v e n ss e k v e n s — an experimental photography exhibition with six participants: Christian Boltanski, Paul-Armand Gette, Hans Werner Kalkmann, Annette Messager, Petr Stembera, Sarkis Zabunyan — all well established in avant-garde circles.The focus of their interest here is, according to the introduction, “the transformations of the body and personality, the metamorphoses of nature”.The viewer should not expect an exhibition of art photography in the conventional sense, but rather see the photographs as a medium for conceptualising reality. — — — Category: press — Countryside exhibition in LundThe countryside is the theme of an exhibition by the noted artist Paul-Armand Gette. From 17 August, the exhibition will be shown at Galerie S:t Petri in Lund.La campagne presents views of nature photographed at Käglinge between 1971 and this year.Gette has placed particular emphasis on insects and plants in this exhibition about the forest and the beach.IN FRENCHThe exhibition about the countryside also forms the basis for the sixth issue of the experimental art magazine New Eter, which is published in French.— No, it was not exactly that I chose Käglinge. I simply went there to visit friends, Gette writes in the introduction to the exhibition.— I carried out entomological studies in August 1971 and plant surveys on two occasions, in 1972 and 1973, as well as measurements of the relative temperature and humidity of the air.— The photographs taken on these occasions form a series.The area around Käglinge has hardly changed in character over the years, apart from variations in the cultivated land — the fields of wheat, rapeseed and rye.— It is so anonymous that when I look at the photographs, I think more of the countryside in general than specifically of Käglinge. — — — Category: press — New art seasonLast year, Paul-Armand Gette showed an exhibition at Galerie S:t Petri in Lund about the forest and the shore around Ringsjön.
