 In 1988, Julie Doucet published Dirty Plotte, initially an artisanal fanzine with a small audience, before the publishing house Drawn and Quarterly took it over and made it a worldwide success. Julie Doucet's drawings and texts proliferate, most of the time together on paper and beyond, emerging from cutouts and collages, to become poetry.

Have you ever wondered how hotel rooms transitory are? This exhibition attempts to reach the crux of this modern experience. Hotel Paintings is artist Grace Weaver’s first solo presentation in France where she explores hotel rooms as spaces of intimacy and anonymity where one’s actions are limited to the provisions in the room. Weaver’s practice investigates what she self-terms as the ‘poetry of tiny moments, the small increments that make up modern life’, transforming seemingly unremarkable settings into contemplative realms.

Born during the closing months of World War II, Anselm Kiefer reflects upon Germany’s post-war identity and history, grappling with the national mythology of the Third Reich. Fusing art and literature, painting, and sculpture, Kiefer engages the complex events of history and the ancestral epics of life, death, and the cosmos. White Cube is presenting an exhibition of watercolours by Anselm Kiefer, created over the past decade in the artist’s studio in France.

Rebekah Mackay
Le Cocon


Pop-up Gallery
16 January - 21st January

Active Rest, Rebekah Mackay, 2023. Courtesy of the artist.

Rebekah MacKay's 'Le Cocon' is Rebekah Meckay’s ode to the subtle yet profound energy found within solitude. Her abstract paintings are a visual narrative of introspection and renewal, and a celebration of life's beauty in its cocoon-like phases—the moments that are sometimes overlooked, but carry an incredible significance. The exhibition is on par with Paris Men’s Fashion Week and is featured along with the Lone Rider collection by Georgia + Meridian Child Motorcycle Club.

Darío Villalba (1939 - 2018) became a major artist on the Spanish scene ever since his emergence in the late 60s and was in dialogue with many of the avant-garde movements, from American pop, which he witnessed at the start of his career, to conceptual art, informal art, practices responding to the AIDS crisis, and performance art. His work is filled with a profound search for humanity that needs to be read against the upheavals of the second half of the twentieth century, and aims to give these protagonists, as well as the image itself, their “maximum transcendence”.

Keyword: nystagmus (jerky and rapid movement of the eyes). It occurs, for example, when you see the landscape go by on the motorway. Vincent Dulom’s beautifully meditative works of art are a persuasion to move your eyes in search of a dynamicity or rather the right word/s.
