Five years after the death of the artist, the Centre Pompidou dedicates an original exhibition to Hantaï’s work — the first in over thirty-five years. Through more than 130 paintings, this exhibition, unprecedented in its scale and retrospective character, bears witness to the importance of a body of work that has today gained international recognition.

At the juncture of anthopology, history, art and museology, the exhibition Quelque chose de plus qu’une succession de notes brings together the contributions of researchers, activists and artists whose research and work makes of the limits of transcription a subject for reflection and creation.

Gerald Petit wove together this exhibition using figures split in several pieces, cracked — the effect of a relationship breaking up — drained of life by the fascinating power of the myth and duplicated several times. His work with photographs and paintings consists in an attempt to reassemble them at the same time as their decomposition is accepted and exhibited.

(French only) Conçue en étroite collaboration avec l’artiste, l’exposition présente des œuvres qui appartiennent à plusieurs séries thématiques et illustrent la diversité des matériaux et des techniques employés.

(French only) Shanthamani. M travaille ces dernières années exclusivement le charbon de bois, matériau qui évoque à la fois la création artistique, la révolution industrielle et le réchauffement climatique. Les peintures de Terry Taylor rappellent notre destinée mortelle, avec insistance, mais non sans jubilation. Le crâne humain est le modèle récurrent de ses huiles macabres.

A physical as well as symbolic sensibility, an interplay of materials, an ability to establish a space in an absolute economy of means and with every new creation questioning the ways and means of his profession. These are some of the many ethics that Jean Degottex worked by. Now, more than ever, his work is revealed with evident clarity.

(French only) Pour sa nouvelle série de photographies, l’artiste suisse Christian Tagliavini joue aux cartes mais transforme les figures habituelles en tableaux immenses, riches de symboles et d’effets plastiques. Les titres de Carte, cette série de onze photographies inspirée par les caprices de la fortune, gardent tout le mystère de leur appellation en italien.

The work of Danh Vo is in fact powerfully political. Neither direct nor confrontational, his practice explores the power games underlying liberal societies, the rules governing those societies, and the fragility of the nation-state idea. His work reveals the complexity of the interchange between peoples in the context of post-colonial society.

The group UNTEL has led numerous actions in the public space. The common denominator of the group’s actions is the examination of the day-to-day life, a social and political questioning, very close to the revolutionary ideas of May 1968 and situationism. The idea of an art that first and foremost has to be experienced and lived, is in line with UNTEL’s considerations.

In the context of digital “appropriationism” Giorgio Di Noto, Tiane Doan na Champassak and Eduardo Serafim offer us new attempts at producing images and documenting reality. The various artistic approaches exposed here reflect many questions relating to photography and politics, arts and documentation.

“Days come and go, each one the same as the next, or not, it depends. The days are also those beams of light which apertures pierced in a wall let into the room. A glimpse of what is happening outside when one is shut away” — Gérard Traquandi.

Annunciation, a new solo show by Elina Brotherus at gb agency, is also the title of a new series of photographs initiated in 2009. This work retraces Elina Brotherus’ work back to photographs stemming from her own personal experience and her will to put on stage a subject still taboo: infertility.

Each work has been selected as representing the most important themes of Giuseppe Penone’s work, including the play between gestures and the imprint, the play of light and shadow, of textures and surfaces. Le corps d’un jardin presents works made from 1984. “Trees, when they move in space, change their shape. They remember the gesture they made" — Giuseppe Penone.

The exhibition The Second Sex — a visual footnote, curated by Tobi Maier, is a visual essay inspired by the book of the same name by French philosopher Simone de Beauvoir, whose existentialist take on many of the issues of feminism first emerged with the publication of Le Deuxième Sexe in 1949.

Master at rendering the vibrancy and details of fabrics, expert in composition, Gérard Uféras does not merely document. Through his lens, he glorifies what he sees. His art is based on his virtuosity to underline a contour, to sketch a silhouette or trace a bodice. Seams of Dreams is an extensive photographic overview of the most beautiful French couture houses.

Bercées par une atmosphère apocalyptique, leurs images témoignent et n’ont pas besoin de commentaires.

The works of these four artists are made with elements of our everyday life that we can single out and recognize, but interwoven or circumvented in such a powerful way that we find ourselves completely estranged from it.

The work of Ahlam Shibli follows on from projects at the Jeu de Paume which have proposed new narrative forms in the field of documentary photography. For her new exhibition in Paris, Ahlam Shibli presents a selection of works anchored in current events, not with the immediacy of a witness account but with the necessity of re-establishing a critical distance.

Lorna Simpson became known in the 1980s and 90s for her photographs and films that shook up the conventions of gender, identity, culture and memory. Throughout her work, the artist tackles the complicated representation of the black body, using different media, while her texts add a significance that always remains open to the spectator’s imagination.
