Born in Geneva in 1976 and educated at Cambridge University, Perret lives and works in Geneva. She has recently been awarded both the 2011 Zurich Art Prize and Le Prix Culturel Manor 2011.

Methods exhibition, at Victor Hunt, Brussels, is presenting the groundbreaking French designer Julien Carretero’s recent explorations of metal in all it’s variations and their particular processes following his research of the past three years and resulting in an extended batch of recent works to be discovered, highlighting the essences of the material.

These artists are interested in the way their works inhabit the surrounding space, and the way their own bodies inform the dimensions and proportions of the sculpture.

This week, the art world once again draws its attention to the Swiss Alps and gathers in beautiful Basel to find out what galleries from around the world have to offer, explore new talents at Satellite fairs such as Liste or Volta or even rediscover artists who might have faded away from the spotlight for a while.

A car made from old scraps of textile, quilted together by a group of Chinese women, multi-coloured and three-dimensional spaces, mixtures of reality and artistic expression. These and other sceneries will inspire you in the current exhibition „Between memory and theft“ by the Danish artist  Erik A. Frandsen  in the Red Brick Contemporary Art Museum in Beijing.

The exhibition focuses on drawing as a medium of differentiation and structuring, as well as its function as draft, sketch, pattern or graffiti. All representative elements are repealed from Klaus Jörre’s canvases and the act of painting is reduced to structuring the images’ surface. The paintings are designed with strict geometrics, ocassionally varying vertical or horizontal lines in constant repetition. Their serial and sober order is interfered by seemingly arbitrary vandalization with spray paint.
