For the last twenty years François Daireaux has been developping an art of installation, integrating different medias: sculpture, photography, video, taken from his several peregrinations across the world. As a meticulous observer, away from the notion of exoticism, he focuses onto the gestures, the objects, to the time that passes in order to reveal the unsuspected layers of reality.

h5. An exhibition curated by Aliocha Imhoff and Kantuta Quiros (le peuple qui manque)
In 1970, in the feminist text anthology Sisterhood is powerful, poet Robin Morgan proposed the neologism herstory to describe a historiographic programme reconstructing -or even literally inventing- a “History of women”. Much more…

(French only) L’œuvre de Joël Meyerowitz apparaît comme le chaînon manquant qui permet de mieux comprendre le passage définitif du noir et blanc à la couleur dans l’histoire de la photographie de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle.

Galerie Thaddeus Ropac announces an exhibition which sets out to create a strong dialogue between new paintings by the American artist David Salle and a selection of works by Picabia. In their frequent comparison of the two artists, critics may have particularly dwelt on their shared use of superimposed images and its effect of semantic multiplication.

Antoine d’Agata comes to LE BAL in early 2013, ten years after his landmark exhibition at Galerie Vu. Ten more years for an oeuvre which ultimately has just twenty years behind it. Ten years of confrontation and ever more radical immersion into the thickness of the world; its gaping wounds and incandescent fringes.

(French only) Christian Courrèges s’est spécialisé dans le portrait d’individus appartenant à des groupes constitués et parfois plus informels. Il s’est intéressé aux toreros, il a photographié en gros plan des visages d’haïtiens… Aujourd’hui il s’installe à la galerie Baudoin Lebon pour nous dévoiler cette dernière série sur les swenkas d’Afrique du Sud.

Naji Kamouche’s reflexions turn around the lost man, the sleepy man, who kill, die, dream, again. Mens gets war passion. And there is always something, someone to defend. A God, a land, an honnor, an idea even. So they attack men, they destroy, reduce to nothing, the other, the other one. They assasinate, burn and mix with blood, the power, howls.

(French only) Susumu Shingu conçoit des sculptures animées dont les mouvements sont générés par les forces de la nature. Thomas Riedelsheimer a suivi l’artiste dans la poursuite de son rêve, une quête pour la création d’une planète plus consciente, révélatrice de nos valeurs humaines.

For this exhibition I am trying to immobilise the elements of a world in movement. In my works a state and a process can be observed simultaneously, as if I were able to reveal simultaneously the envelope and the guts of painting and sculpture. Using video is almost like touching the “internal organs” of the world — Taro Izumi.

“Audience Works”, mfc-michèle didier latest publication, is an artist’s book that in first instance takes an interest in the work’s public, in other words, in its own audience.
17 interactive installations, produced by Samuel Bianchini between 1999 and 2012, are here considered with the rigorous precision scientists are known for.

In the Project Room at Galerie Vallois, Morgane Fourey is presenting what initially seems to be an exhibition without any works. Capturing objects through both the act of painting and their spatial mise en scene, Morgane Fourey freeze-frames a given moment — of montage, of construction — and its triggering of invisible activity.

For Samuel Gratacap, photography is a mean to approach a situation and reveal its features, keeping in mind that everything has a meaning. Stranded images, lost documents… His photographic investigation is especially linked to migration. He has already realized, or launched several projects by the mediterranean, in the marseille administrative detention centre.

The pencil drawing is part of the series Claque & Shill, in which Andrea Romano establishes symbiosis between pictures and their support. The drawing and the stone frame are to be interpreted as two figures (a claque and a shill) who are able to manipulate the reception of a phenomenon, by infiltrating the audience and orientating its taste.

How High The Moon gathers a dozen artists whose works endeavor to represent space favoring conceptual over Euclidian perspective. Abstracted from focal vision and perspective, these works multiply our viewpoints and launch us to heights at which the horizon itself disappears, dissolving into the visual plane.

It is a mutual fascination with each other’s work that led to the exhibition: Into the woods, which brings the visual artist Peter Neuchs and the sculptor Turi Heisselberg Pedersen together. Looking at their work, one can identify the points they have in common: an almost impenetrable depth, a powerful link to the primitive and a delicate but intense palette.

Enrique Ramirez’s work could be described as poetic incursions towards the humanization of contemporary dystopias. His film-installations and photography deals with the politics of exodus and exile and the discontinuity of memory, but for Ramirez this always means an arduous search into subjective imaginary.

Together the works in Mind Breath and Beat Drawings reveal a personal and unique language of spontaneous mark making that recalls a range of referents from the automatic drawing and writing of the Surrealists, Henri Michaux’s ‘Mescaline’ drawings as well as Chinese calligraphy.

James takes painting’s multiple and overlapping histories partly as his subject matter and partly as a point of departure. The paintings are stylistically promiscuous ; it is hard to describe or even imagine a ”typical James" — Matthew Higgs.

Photographer and video maker, Edith Roux’ practice has a documentary vein mixed with a conceptual reflection on the conditions of the images production. Socio-political concerns are often present in those works, with main issues related to environment, society control and urban change.

The artists present in the exhibition are indeed not that much interested in the end of a story but instead in the fantasy of the rewriting, of the resumption allowed, of the projection towards something else. Once the limits are set, everything is made possible.

The Chantal Crousel Gallery hosts Clément Rodzielski’s second exhibition, after his 2011 exhibition at la Douane.
Before one can even imagine how they might be used, work begins at invervals on all the aluminum plates together. Two effects achieved: reflections and arabesques.

(French only) Chef d’orchestre féru de Wagner, ce juif autrichien s’impose dans une Vienne intrigante et parfois antisémite en prenant la direction de son Opéra en 1897. Passionné et intransigeant, il se battra pour ne garder de la tradition que ce qui a du sens. Henry-Louis de la Grange livre un témoignage émouvant sur la vie et l’œuvre de l’artiste.

Pianiste accomplie, elle devint l’une des plus grandes contraltos du XXème siècle, se produisant avec les plus grands compositeurs au monde. Plus qu’une simple biographie, le documentaire redonne vie à la voi…

This exhibition focuses on the ties between the protocol-based nature of silver-based photography and the process-based nature of post-conceptual practices. Silver-based photography involves a painstaking protocol whose development and printing in the laboratory — developer, stop bath, fixer — are necessary steps for images to appear.
