Exhibition at Salon Paul Ricard, Paris She Views Herself Edition d’ été June 26, 2012 |
En célébration de la Journée Internationale de la Femme, le 8 mars 2012, une nouvelle exposition d’art, intitulée She Views Herself: Emerging Women Artists and the Self-Portrait, a été organisée par l’artiste et commissaire d’exposition de renom Doris Kloster. She Views Herself met en valeur l’art de l’autoportrait par des femmes artistes émergentes des quatre coins du monde. Le processus d’auto-examen qui est révélé dans les peintures, sculptures, installations, vidéos et photographies des artistes illustre la négociation par les femmes d’aujourd’hui de concepts universaux évolutifs de la beauté, de la responsabilisation personnelle, de l’image de soi positive et de l’interaction complexe entre sexe et statut politique. Enfin, les autoportraits de ces artistes explorent les rapports dynamiques entre conscience de soi et identité sociale et nationale. Les spectateurs seront présentés à des voies d’introspection nouvelles et authentiques qui transcendent l’apparence, en adaptant les symboles et surfaces de l’art afin d’atteindre une révélation personnelle. |

In celebration of International Women's Day on March 8, 2012 a new art exhibition, entitled She Views Herself: Emerging Women Artists and the Self-Portrait, has been organized by renowned artist and curator Doris Kloster. She Views Herself showcases self-portraiture by emerging women artists from around the world. The process of self-examination that is revealed in the artists' paintings, sculptures, installations, videos and photographs exemplifies contemporary women's negotiation of evolving global concepts of beauty, personal empowerment, positive self-image and the complex interplay of gender and political status. Ultimately these artists' self-portraits probe the dynamic relationships between contemporary women's sense of self and their social and national identity. Viewers will be introduced to new, authentic avenues of introspection that transcend appearance, adapting arts symbols and surfaces to achieve personal revelation. |

Chaque matin c’est son visage qui remplace l’obscurité. Each morning it is her face that replaces darkness Sylvia Plath, Mirror She Views Herself est une exposition réunissant des artistes femmes des quatre coins du monde, conçue par la photographe Doris Kloster. Ici, un regard intense sur soi donne lieu à une connaissance de soi et un défi aux différentes sociétés, pour ainsi prendre la place de l’obscurité. She Views Herself is an exhibition of international women artists, curated by the photographer Doris Kloster. Here, intensely looking at the self is another way of knowing the self and challenging different societies, to be able to take the place of darkness. Nabil Naoum |

East/West Through Women Artists’ Eyes Curated by Doris Kloster and Zhangping This thematic group exhibition will include five women artists from China and five women artists from the West. In Chinese numerology the number five is associated with “me” or “myself” because it is at the central point of the magic square of I Ching, in which all the eight other single-digit numbers refer to comp ass points leading away from oneself. So one could say that the two groups of five women artists symbolically represent the collective world view of the eastern and western identity. The exhibition will focus on the ideas and concerns of women artists who embody these two counterweights of global awareness. The east/west polarization of the world is a complex reality, yet those who inhabit each pole ordinarily see the other only through the viewpoint of their own economic and political perspective. There are artists from China who are regularly exhibited in the West, but seldom if ever do we get a chance to see multiple Chinese women artists’ conception of the world juxtaposed with those of their counterparts from the west. Some of the questions this exhibition will explore are: What are the artists’ ideas about their personal roles in society? How are women the same and how are they different in two polar opposite places? How do social conventions shape these differences? What are the universal truths and similarities that unite women all over the world? How are they expressed? What is the role of woman in each society? Who determines society's ideals of beauty and conventions of cultural identity? The artists selected for this project are women who have lived through the major changes that have occurred in China and the West in the last decade. In a way these changes have brought the hemispheres closer together, but in other ways they they have grown farther apart.

Exhibition at Beijing MoCA: Link and Connection Future November - December, 2007 |
 |
 |
Doris Kloster's self portraits were exhibited at Beijing Museum of Contemporary art in an exhibit titled Link and Connection Future. The Chinese officials censored one of her works as too political and it was removed from the exhibit before the opening. In place of this work titled China Pink, a drawing of Kloster by artist Qin Feng was put to cover the spot where the original hung. | |
"Consider Them as They Stand" For two cups of transparent water, it is impossible to tell which one contains sugar and which one carries salt. However, when two or more cultures are mixed, you can clearly feel the ray of mergence and the delight of interaction. The international art invitatory exhibition, Link and Connection, will realize this scene. France, famous for its romance and unique in its wits, has a culture glutted with elegant tease. Valiantly focusing her angle of view on herself and using herself as the fundamental embodiment, Doris Kloster interprets nationalism against a multicultural background and humorously cautions the expansion of strong cultures. She integrates and echoes the embarrassing situation of traditional culture in a fast mutating municipal culture with surrealistic instruments. Her works reproduce and amplify post nationalism like a mirror. |
