Jean-Marc Bustamante
1952 Born in Toulouse (FR) Lives and works in Paris (FR) Jean-Marc Bustamante has been working intermittently on a series of photographic projects since 1977. His first series of works, titled ´Tableaux´, made between 1977 and 1982 are large color prints of semi-urban sites around Barcelona, taken in areas which he selected precisely because they were derelict and without interest: areas ´where there has been a lot of destruction, where nature is no longer wild´. The series includes more than 120 individual landscapes, photographs that are fragments but aspire to a whole, banal subjects which are classically composed but also reminiscent of commercial advertising. In 1995 Bustamante started a new body of works titled ´Something is Missing´; these photographs were exhibited in groups of between 2 and 12 images. They claim no reference to specific locations or chronology, which obliges the viewer to find ways into the work at a forensic level, in the hope that the work itself will provide all the information. Most of the time his work is about piecing together, about scooping knowledge out of the slightly familiar. What is missing is frequently as important as what is included, though there is usually a nagging familiarity about something in the work. Often there is a no-man´s land of indeterminate foreground that may appear random, but which actually acts as a precise clue to the importance of the work´s framing and composition. 2006 Jean-Marc Bustamante - beautifuldays Kunsthaus Bregenz, Bregenz Jean-Marc Bustamante - Perfect Dreams Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac, Paris 2005 First Choice Galerie Vera Munro, Hamburg Miradas y conceptos en la Colección Helga de Alvear Galeria Helga de Alvear, Madrid Collection Eté-Automne 2005 capc Musée d'art contemporain, Bordeaux Miradas y conceptos en la colección Helga de Alvear Museo Extremeño e Iberoamericano de Arte Contemporáneo, Badajoz Col·lecció Fundació "LaCaixa" 20 anys amb l'art contemporani Fundación La Caixa - CaixaForum, Barcelona 2004 Wer bietet mehr? - Fünfzehn Jahre Deichtorhallen Hamburg Deichtorhallen, Hamburg Take Five! - Huis Marseille Turns Five Huis Marseille stichting voor fotografie, Amsterdam A Angles vifs capc Musée d'art contemporain, Bordeaux 2003 Jean Marc Bustamante: New Works Timothy Taylor Gallery, London (England) Pictures of you Galería Estrany - De La Mota, Barcelona Límites de la percepción Fundación Joan Miró, Barcelona Aktuelle Editionen Edition Schellmann, Munich Un été à Toulouse Galerie Sollertis, Toulouse Interrogare il luogo Studio La Città, Verona 2002 Jean-Marc Bustamante - Something is Missing Galerie Sollertis, Toulouse Limits of perception Fundación Joan Miró, Barcelona Wallflowers Kunsthaus Zürich, Zurich Jean-Marc Bustamante Galeria Helga de Alvear, Madrid Photography by Gallery Artists and DYG Projects: Joshua Mosley Donald Young Gallery, Chicago, IL Espacio Concepto Fundación Joan Miró, Barcelona Space Concept Fundación Joan Miró, Barcelona Jean-Marc Bustamante Galerie Paul Andriesse, Amsterdam Peter Pan is Back !
