Native launches this month of March, a new collection: "THOSE WHO WALK AGAINST THE WIND "(whose name derives from the Omaha, a Plains Indian people of North America, next to the Sioux). Small incisive books, activists, to 3 euros from 24 to 32 pages maximum and who intend to promote a revolution of conscience. A revolution whose art is, and will, most loyal support: All titles will receive a contribution of a contemporary artist who creates a work resonates with the theme of book. Each title will thus be an edition "collector": 50 to 100 separate copies sold at an average price of 30 €, numbered from the hand of the editor, signed by the author and accompanied by a drawing of the original work signed by artist
We launch the collection with a title of the English writer John Berger, "In the meantime, Reflections on Economic Fascism" (in bookstores March 25, 2009).
The next title will be available in May: "I am a teacher and I disobey" Bastien Cazals.
Then, in September 2009: "The Lifestyle maximum with the minimum" JR Geyer, "The Constitution torn" by Stéphane Beaumond.
We also publish this March:
1. The exhibition catalog Bernard Buffet to be held from March 12 to June 14, 2009 Center Vieille Charité in Marseilles. For the first time, to mark the tenth anniversary of his death, a major French museum hosts a solo exhibition of the work of this painter, unloved because they are poorly known. Thanks to the stubbornness of his sole trader, Maurice Garnier, works for the most ever shown in France will be revealed to the public. We discover that, far beyond the fifties considered the best years of the painter, following decades conceal true masterpieces. Both in its communication strategy in its overproduction and creation a style that sometimes is the comics - fifteen or twenty years before the free figuration
- Buffet was a pioneer in many areas, but he had to suffer a real conspiracy of silence
The Author: Henry Perier, who holds a doctorate in art history, the biographer of Pierre Restany - the Pope of art criticism in the twentieth century - has provided, among others, the curator of the exhibition China The Corps throughout Chinese contemporary art at the MAC in Marseille in 2004. He has also organized numerous artistic events in France and abroad.
