Chase the dragon Opening 8 January, 2011 6 to 9PM Until 26 February, 2011 Chase the dragon : "Paint as some could not stop smoking their opium pipe back in the days." "Do crack heads and painters have something in common ?" "What is painting about these days ?" Rock meets Chic and let’s see where the painters lead us in their trip while under the adrenaline of their own painting. With artists such as Dado, Peter Saul, Kosta Kulundzic, Jerôme Zonder and Axel Phalavi, the show explores the practice of painting, the feeling induced and what it is to break the limits...

Hong Kong slang. From the time of Opium den, the term refers to inhaling the smoke from heated drug placed on a piece of foil; term now considered as more complex. From the first high, to the impression of intense euphoria, everything one can to obtain that same ‘high’ as the first drug try out.

Chase the dragon Vernissage le 8 Janvier, 2011 de 18h à 21h jusqu’au 26 Février, 2011 Chase the Dragon : les peintres sont ils sous la même pression que ces drogués dans les fumeries d’opium qui ne pouvaient plus s’arrêter. Avec des artistes comme Dado, Peter Saul, Kosta Kulundzic, Jerôme Zonder and Axel Phalavi, l’exposition, à la fois chic et rock, explore les limites de la peinture, les émotions de la création et le fait de dépasser ses limites. De jeunes peintres ayant le vent en poupe décident de se confronter à leurs ainés et à leurs démons. Chase the Dragon propose les regards de plusieurs artistes sur le dépassement de soi.

DEFINITION / ‘Chasser le
dragon’
:
expression empruntée à l’argot de Hong Kong du temps des fumeries
d’opium, désignant au départ la méthode consistant à inhaler les vapeurs
d’héroïne, de cocaïne, ou de toute autre drogue, chauffée, la plupart du temps,
sur une feuille d’aluminium par le dessous.
