Dear Readers,
As the year draws to a close,
once again we suggest you stop to warm yourselves up in museums, galleries
and foundations, where you will find wonderful exhibitions. And while
you are waiting for Father Christmas, we invite you to discover the
colours of Hungary, the power of the line and the magic of the moment,
by reading the last issue of Artguardian.news.
This is indeed the last issue
of the magazine, as we have decided to freeze our activities. Economic
difficulties have been evident this year, particularly for young companies
in our sector, and they mean that we are unable to continue as we are.
We are convinced of the validity
of our project and of the clear benefits it brings. We will therefore
make every effort to revive this concept, and in so-doing, offer the
art world the security it needs so much.
On your behalf, I would like to
pay tribute to the entire Artguardian team, and particularly to Celia
Clavien who has been responsible for the 15 issues of this magazine.
Over the last two years we have
been spurred on by our enthusiasm and also by the interest and friendship
shown by you, the professionals and the private individuals, all lovers
of art. For this, I thank you.
Goodbye for now... and Merry
Christmas!
Thierry Liebaut
CEO

NOIR SUR BLANC, MONDES INTERIEURS
The power of the line.
As soon as visitors enter, they find themselves at heart of the exhibition.
They wander around the circular corridor, which is punctuated by decorative
screens, which in turn surround another space. The works on display
sometimes look like rolls of paper of several metres in length, unwound
and stuck to the wall. Using large-scale formats or smaller samples
behind glass, these eight artists develop an unquestionable savoir faire.

LAM METIS - MULTICULTURAL PAINTING
Reopened with a flourish at the end of last year, the Musée Dapper
has not only changed its look. Its programme has also experienced some
significant alterations, in particular the inclusion of 20th century
art. The new programme, opening with the Lam métis exhibition,
bears witness to 'the creativity shown by those artists for whom the
arts and the cultures of sub-Saharan Africa have played a part in stimulating
the imagination'.
