Tribal Art < Back Dan Ge Gon Bird Mask Dan ethnic group, Northwestern Ivory Coast/Liberia First half of the 20th Century Provenance: Important private French collection Profound glossy black patina, resulting from repeated anointment and use of incrustations of ritually applied materials. H 24 x W 15 cm The border between Cote d'Ivoire and Liberia cuts across several ethnic groups, including the Dan, Wee, Kran, and Grebo. In Dan society, dangerous immaterial forest spirits are translated into the forms of human face masks. Whether or not they’re worn, such sculptured works are spiritually charged and used in performances, being integrated into the hierarchical system that governs political and religious life. Male performers experience a dream sent by the mask’s spirit, allowing them to dance it. Dan masks have been documented as the embodiment of at least a dozen artistic personalities. This mask with its bird-like beak and oval eyes is known as Ge Gon . Originally pedagogical, historical, and regulatory, Ge Gon was described as a mask of wisdom. It has progressively become mostly used for entertainment purposes that appeals through its bird-like movements in performance. Once separated from their performance contexts, mask forms are difficult to identify. Performance masks may span the careers of many generations of wearers, contributing to the increasingly sacred status and charged spirituality of these objects. A masquerade's vitality may also be transferred from one mask form to another. Over time, any respected Dan mask may eventually be elevated to the category of gunagle, the mask that represents a village quarter, or gle wa, a judicial mask.

With Antimold, I challenged myself to explore the limit between industry and craft. I took what is to me the symbol of the industrial production - The Mold - and I broke it and reconfigured it's purpose, giving it a new perspective .” André Silva Sancho, Antimold series Antimold #10, 2020 André Silva Sancho (b. 1993) Portugal Blown plastic H 48,5 x W 42 x D 20 cm Antimold #10, 2020 André Silva Sancho (b. 1993) Portugal Blown plastic H 48,5 x W 42 x D 20 cm Antimold #10, 2020 André Silva Sancho (b. 1993) Portugal Blown plastic H 48,5 x W 42 x D 20 cm 1/2

Contemporary Art < Back PEDRO CALAPEZ Lisboa, 1953 Pedro Calapez (b. 1953) on being an artist : " Art is something that may bring you strange doubts. you have doubts about what it is; you might not even know what it is. in reality, anything can be art: it depends on our attitude towards certain objects or doing certain things. i think it is necessary to have a special talent, not in the sense of something that only a few possess but something that could be awake in each one of us and that begins with the realization that we have capacities that allow us to feel and understand, on different levels, the small things we do or see and that are all around us. My work neither explains nor solves society’s needs and problems. visual force is very important in my painting and through drawing and painting, the aim is to take something from what surrounds us for ourselves. but this appropriation of the other, of that which is outside us, is a capacity we all have. we just have to put it into action. we don’t need to be painters or writers. it’s just a question of talking, talking to each other. this is the talent that awakens our capacity not to remain secluded from the world around us. I make paintings, objects. i make them firstly for me. i make them because i like to. i make them because i want to reveal the small things i observe. i get enthusiastic about the small things i see in nature or about a drop of paint falling on a piece of paper. the most important thing is the possibility of doing what i like, having the possibility of looking at and understanding my relationship with myself and others .
