Saint-Clair Cemin - Skulpturen
Es gibt Künstler, für welche die Welt und ihre Mythen scheinbar nicht gross genug sind. Auch wenn
nicht von der Hand zu weisen ist, dass die kleine Landgemeinde Cr uz Alta – Stadt der br asilianischen
Gauchos (*) – diesem Bildhauer von Gebur t an eine enor me Ausgeglichenheit und Ruhe geschenkt hat,
sollte man sich davon nicht täuschen lassen. Saint-Clair Cemin besitzt die Gabe der Allgegenwar t und
einen unbändigen Appetit. Auf der Flucht vor den Zwängen der Militärdiktatur waren die Pariser Schulen
für bildende Künste nur ein Zwischenstopp für ihn, ehe er schliesslich New Yor k er reichte. Er beher r scht
fünf Spr achen und unterhält Atelier s in den USA, Peking (China) und der Bourgogne (Fr ankreich). Dar über
hinaus hat dieser offenbar r astlose Künstler auch nicht gezöger t, sich in Ägypten niederzulassen, als er
das Bedürfnis danach ver spür te, und man kann ihn jedes Jahr in Griechenland treffen, wo es ihm zweifellos
gefällt, in Erzählungen zu alten Legenden einzutauchen.
Diese Wiss- und Ler nbegierde sowie diese grosszügige und neugierige Sichtweise spiegeln sich
selbstver ständlich in seinem gesamten, atypischen Wer k wider, dessen Ironie immer nur einen Schritt weit
entfer nt ist. Die einzige Konstante besteht darin, dass Saint-Clair Cemin unbestreitbar ein grosser
Bildhauer ist. Nach der Verführ ung durch den Sur realismus und dem Schock der Entdeckung des Wer ks von
Joseph Beuys wählte er den grossen r umänischen Bildhauer Constantin Br ancusi als Mentor. Ebenso wie
Letzterer ist Saint-Clair Cemin ein wahrer Plastiker! Für ihn sind Skulpturen (und das Leben) etwas, das
man for mt. Es ist eine direkte Methode der bildenden Kunst. Er zöger t jedoch niemals, alle ihm zur
Verfügung stehenden Mittel zu nutzen, und schreckt auch nicht vor neuen Erfahr ungen zur ück, indem er
selbst mit den edelsten Wer kstoffen (Mar mor, Bronze, Holz usw.) spielt – ohne allerdings recycelte und
neuar tige Materialien ausser Acht zu lassen.
Dieses Nebeneinander der Materialien geht Hand in Hand mit dem «K annibalismus», mit dem er der
Kunstgeschichte und insbesondere der Bildhauerei begegnet. Tr aditionen aus aller Welt scheinen in
seinem Wer k eine Metamor phose zu durchlaufen und mischen sich oftmals mit Verweisen auf antike
Mythen. Er ver steht es, weltweit Spr achelemente zu finden, die für alle ver ständlich sind – welchem
Kultur kreis sie auch angehören mögen. Er erinner t ger ne dar an, dass Spr ache das Leben nicht zu fassen
ver mag. Deshalb gefällt es ihm, seine bildhauerischen Visionen sichtbar zu machen. Er weiss nicht, was
der Begriff «nor mal» bedeutet. Seine überbordende Fantasie arbeitet also mit allen möglichen Realitäten.
Diese Ausstellung bietet ein Kunstpanor ama mit zahlreichen Originalskulpturen von 1995 bis 2012
sowie einigen Zeichnungen, die dem Publikum die Gelegenheit bieten, mit diesem grenzenlosen Künstler
auf Reisen zu gehen.

Saint Clair Cemin – Escultur as
Há ar tistas par a quem o mundo e seus mitos parecem muito estreitos. Se a pequena cidade r ur al
de Cr uz Alta, de gaúchos br asileiros (*) tem, desde o seu nascimento, inegavelmente, dado ao ar tista
um for midável equilíbrio e uma calma inter na, ele não deve ser invocado. Saint Clair Cemin tem o dom da
ubiquidade e um apetite feroz. Fugindo das restrições da ditadur a militar, as Belas Ar tes em Paris
for am apenas um palco par a ele, antes de ganhar Nova Ior que. Poliglota, seus atelier s se dividem entre
os Estados Unidos, Pequim na China e a Borgonha na Fr ança. Mas este ar tista, quem parece não apreciar
o repouso, não hesitou em se instalar no Egito, quando houve necessidade e também pode ser
encontr ado, a cada ano, na Grécia, onde ele sem dúvidas gosta de mergulhar nas nar r ativas de antigas
lendas.
Encontr amos clar amente, essa sede de conhecimento e vontade de aprender, esse olhar generoso
e curioso, em toda sua obr a atípica, onde a ironia nunca está distante. Uma única constante é que Saint
Clair Cemin é, inegavelmente, um gr ande escultor. Após a sedução do movimento sur realista e o choque
da descober ta das obr as de Joseph Beuys, seu mentor é o gr ande escultor romano Constantin
Br ancusi. Como este último, Saint Clair Cemin lapida! Par a ele a escultur a (e a vida) se lapida. É uma
lapidação direta. Porém ele jamais hesita em utilizar todos os elementos a ele oferecidos e não recua
diante de nenhuma nova experiência, brincando com os materiais mais nobres (már more, bronze,
madeir a...) sem negligenciar elementos recicláveis e os novos materiais.
Estas justaposições caminham lado a lado com o “canibalismo” que ele oper a sobre a história da
ar te e da escultur a em par ticular. Em seu tr abalho, as tr adições do mundo todo aparecem metamorfoseando muitas vezes mistur adas com referências de mitos da antiguidade. Ele sabe encontr ar, pelo mundo,
elementos de linguagem que falam a todos, independentemente de sua cultur a. Não captur amos a vida
coma linguagem, ele gosta de lembr ar. É por isso que ele gosta da aparência de visões escultur ais. Ele
desconhece o conceito de “nor malidade”. Assim sua imaginação tr ansbordante tr abalha sobre todas as
realidades possíveis.
Esta exposição oferece um panor ama de obr as, de escultur as únicas e múltiplas, de 1995 a 2012,
assim como, alguns desenhos, que per mitirão ao público viajar com este ar tista sem limites.

Saint-Clair Cemin. Sculptures
Il est des ar tistes pour lequel le Monde et ses mythes semblent trop étroits. Si la petite ville r ur ale
de Cr uz Alta des gaucho brésiliens (*) a, dès sa naissance, indéniablement donné à l’ar tiste un for midable équilibre et le calme dont il est habité, il ne faut pas s’y fier. Saint-Clair Cemin a un don d’ubiquité
et un appétit féroce. Fuyant les contr aintes de la dictature militaire, les Beaux-Ar ts de Paris ne furent
qu’une étape pour lui avant qu’il ne gagne New-Yor k. For t des cinq langues qu’il par le, ses atelier s sont
entre les Etats-Unis, Beijing en Chine et en Bourgogne en Fr ance. Mais cet ar tiste qui par ait ne pas aimer
le repos n’a aussi pas hésité à s’installer en Egypte quand ce besoin s’est fait sentir et on peut le rencontrer chaque année en Grèce où il aime sans doute plonger dans les récits des légendes anciennes.
On retrouve bien entendu, cette soif de connaitre et d’apprendre, ce regard généreux et curieux
dans toute son œuvre atypique dont l’ironie n’est jamais bien loin. Un seule constante est que Saint-Clair
Cemin est indéniablement un gr and sculpteur. Après la séduction du mouvement sur réaliste et le choc
d’avoir découver t l’œuvre de Joseph Beuys, son mentor est le gr and sculpteur roumain Constantin Br ancusi. Comme ce der nier, Saint-Clair Cemin taille ! Pour lui la sculpture (et la vie) se taille. C’est une taille directe. Mais il n’hésite jamais à utiliser aussi tous les éléments qui s’offre à lui et ne recule devant aucune
nouvelle expérience jouant avec les matières les plus nobles (marbre, bronze, bois…) sans négliger les
éléments de récupér ation et les nouveaux matériaux.
Ces juxtapositions de matières vont de pair avec le ‘cannibalisme’ qu’il opère sur l’histoire de l’ar t
et la sculpture en par ticulier. Dans son œuvre, les tr aditions du monde entier appar aissent métamor phosées souvent mêlées à des références de mythes liés à l’antiquité. Il sait trouver à tr aver s le monde des
éléments de langage qui par lent à toutes et tous quelle que soit leur culture. On ne capture pas la vie
avec le langage, aime-t-il à r appeler. C’est pour quoi il aime à donner à voir ses visions sculptur ales. Il ne
sait pas ce qu’est la notion de ‘nor mal’. Son imagination débordante tr availle ainsi sur toutes les réalités
possibles.
Cette exposition offre un panor ama d’œuvres, sculptures originales et multiples allant de 1995 à
2012 ainsi que quelques dessins qui per mettront au public de voyager avec cet ar tiste sans limite.

Saint Clair Cemin – Sculptures
There are ar tists for whom the wor ld and its myths seem nar row. If the small r ur al town of Cr uz
Alta of Br azilians gaúchos (*) has, since its bir th, undeniably given, the ar tist a great balance and calm,
which is inhabited, it should not be relied upon. Saint Clair Cemin has the gift of ubiquity and a ferocious
appetite. Fleeing the constr aints of the militar y dictator ship, the Beaux Ar ts in Paris were only a stage
for him, before taking over New Yor k. Polyglot, his studios are in the United States, Beijing in China and
Burgundy in Fr ance. But this ar tist who seems not to like the rest, also did not hesitate to move to Egypt
when this need has been felt and he also can be found, each year in Greece, where he probably likes diving into ancient legends.
We find, of cour se, that thir st of knowledge and lear n, his generous and curious look, in all his
atypical wor k, in which irony is never far away. One only constant, is that Saint Clair Cemin is undeniably
a great sculptor. After the seduction of the Sur realist movement and the shock of discovering the Joseph
Beuys’s ar t wor k, his mentor is the great Romanian sculptor Constantin Br ancusi. Like him, Saint Clair
Cemin facets! In his sculpture (and life) he facets. It is a direct cut. However he never hesitates to use all
the elements that await him and never dr aws back from new experiences, playing with the best materials
(marble, bronze, wood ...) without neglecting the elements of recover y and new materials .
These juxtapositions of materials go hand in hand with the ‘cannibalism’ that he oper ates on the
histor y of ar t and sculpture in par ticular. In his wor k, the tr aditions from around the wor ld appear metamor phosed often mixed with references to ancient myths. He knows how to find wor ldwide language elements that speak to ever yone regardless of their culture. We do not capture life with language, he likes to
recall. That’s why he likes sculptur al visions. He does not know the concept of ‘nor mality’. His imagination
wor ks on all possible realities.
This exhibition offer s a panor ama of wor ks, original and multiple sculptures from 1995 to 2012 as
well as some dr awings that will allow the public to tr avel with this limitless ar tist.
