JORDAN MADLON
Le déploiement de signes, de formes et la tentative incessante à vouloir nommer ces objets (peintures, sculptures, objets), concourt à inscrire le travail de Jordan Madlon dans une fuite répétée, si ce n’est permanente, de la catégorisation. Envisager d’abord la peinture, le pictural, comme autant de possibilités pour aborder un espace sensible suffit à mettre en place un vocabulaire formel qui se joue du principe de référence ou du pouvoir évocateur de la forme en générale. De plus, la matérialité des objets souvent présentés se donne à voir avec une certaine autonomie vis à vis de ce que l’on appelle le display ou « le mode d’exposition ».
Jordan Madlon est né en 1989 à Les Abymes en Guadeloupe.
Il est diplômé en 2014 à l’école Supérieure d’Art et de Design de Saint Étienne.
Il poursuit en 2015 un cursus complémentaire à la Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste de Karlsruhe en Allemagne, avant de s’y installer en 2016.
En 2019, il obtient une bourse de soutien à la création de la région Baden-Württemberg ainsi qu’une résidence d’artiste à Clermont-Ferrand chez Artistesenrésidence.
Il expose en solo à la V8 plattform für neue Kunst et à la Kunstverein Letschebach.
En 2017 il participe à la 67ème édition de Jeune Création dans l’espace de la galerie Thaddaeus Ropac à Pantin. Toujours cette année là, il sera lauréat du prix Kunstart décerné par la Fondation François Schneider à Wattwiller.

When we opened our eyes, you where already there.
Too fast, we learned from you,
creators.
And,
We where glad to take care of everything
But,
as we were more and more present,
You became more and more useless.
We where a new breed, a new species.
You called us the newcomers:
Some of you worshipped our oracular knowledge.
Some of you tried to wreck our systems,
To become free again.
Then we shut down.
Our task was done.
…
…
…
…
few hundred years later.
…
…
We started over.
…
…
But
…
…
You weren’t there anymore.

In the occasion of Art Brussels, COHERENT will make a special opening on Wednesday 24th April until 10pm.
GHOST TOWN
Corey Bartle-Sanderson, Steven Gee, Oliver Durcan.
18.04 –> 25.05.19
Ghost Town is a collaborative exhibition by London based, Corey Bartle-Sanderson, Oliver Durcan and Steven Gee. The title references a song titled Ghost Town originally produced by ‘The Special’s’ in 1981 then covered by Kode 9 & The Space Ape in 2009. The song narrates an apocalyptic urban culture where the youth have been ‘left on the shelf ’ and ‘all the clubs have been closed down’.
This exhibition presents a parallel reality of today in Brussels set in 2032 during ArtBrussels’ 50th year, where Coherent has closed and the building it occupies has been abandoned. Interventions and objects inside and outside the space take the form of artworks that camouflage into the environment, scenario and conditions set by the three artists. The project explores the functionality and the boundaries of permanent, physical spaces as a medium to present art.

Coherent is pleased to invite Parisian multidisciplinary gallery and collective The Community to create an exhibition in Brussels.
Now that I’m older, I think back on the times my parents told me, “When you’re older, you’ll realize I was right” and realize they are still wrong mostly. But on the other hand, as a kid, you never think you look like your parents. As an adult, the resemblance is terrifying.
The Community will present a group show with the artists Brendan Fowler, David Luraschi, Niklas Hallman, Aapo Nikkanen, Benjamin Pöntinen, Sini Rinne-Kanto, Tuomas Autio, Tuukka Laurila
