(French only) Les portraits de Jerry Schatzberg racontent toujours une histoire d’un avant et d’un après où le récit dépasse le simple cadre de l’objectif. On retrouve dans ses clichés un sens aigu de la composition, un cadrage quasi cinématographique d’une grande sobriété et particulièrement efficace.

René Burri, an historical member of the Magnum agency, always carried at least two cameras. He shot photographs in colour in parallel with the black and white which made him famous. These images, mostly unknown, reveal a hidden side to René Burri’s work, created during a career spanning more than 50 years.

The extreme formal simplicity of the work of Lee Ufan is as intriguing as its abstract sophistication. The artist’s work — the “art of encounter” as he himself puts it — connects pictorial marks, stone, metal, glass, shadow and light.

The book documented fifty-two Tasmanian Aboriginal skulls, all held as token trophies of the so-called “dying races” of Tasmania. Reflecting on Berry’s drawings and the racial judgment theories of that time, the artist has created fifty-two beautiful and enigmatic religious-style paintings of “saints” from disparate parts of the world who have in turn become exotic subjects.

For this exhibition, Adam Ball and Etienne de Fleurieu have primarily worked on paper, whether it is with Adam Ball’s large cut out works or with Etienne de Fleurieu’s Shooting Symphonies. These symphonies, a series de Fleurieu has been working on for four years, combine the violence of a shotgun rippling through paper with the poetry of drawn musical notes.

Asako Shimizu pursues her odyssey and dialogue with the world in a quest for rare and random beauty, to places where the curtain slips for a fraction of a second and communion with nature is possible. Crystal-clear and with the glowing light of a new dawn, Shimizu’s images renew our respect for nature and remind us of our true place on the planet.

Having become the unchanging model of his pictures, Yue Minjun’s portrait is constantly reinterpreted, sometimes multiplied, in compositions which alternate between the grotesque and the poetic. The new exhibition at the Templon gallery features the themes of vanity and of the self-portrait.

(French only) Connu pour ses toiles bicolores, Peter Joseph a introduit dans ses travaux récents un changement dans l’improvisation de la composition, « résultant de l’expérience », où la touche devient à la fois dynamique et lâche, laissant en de nombreux endroits des zones non peintes, créant ainsi un nouvel espace, une émotion.

The painting of Maude Maris possesses a certain silent quality: the silence of “making”, whose originating gesture strives to erase its own traces; the polar silence of her enveloping light and its soft tonalities; and finally the silence of isolated spaces, exclusively peopled with white and coloured volumes, both peculiar and yet vaguely familiar.

“A photograph makes us believe we are seeing a thing when in actual fact we are only seeing its referent, which is a kind of shroud, or simulacrum, or representation. But besides its referent, the photograph is also materic, it has size and surface, it is an image in itself” — Rodrigo Moura.

Artist fiercely dedicated to freedom, little given to sycophancy, and unconcerned by the zeitgeist, it was simply a smokescreen that protected him. But discreetly, in his own way, Pierre Jahan composed major pieces in the different registers that his temperament led him to explore.

The theme of Wilson’s residency at the Louvre, Living Rooms, reflects his wish to infuse the museum with the spirit of the Watermill Center on Long Island, the artists’ community where he lives, works, shares his personal collection of art and artifacts with the public, and nurtures the creativity of young and emerging artists.

Spolia (from Latin) or reused, means the reuse of old monuments elements as building materials in a new building. Commonly practiced in the late Roman Empire, this approach is similar to that of Sebastian Riemer, who throughout his photographic work, is constantly extracting topics from their original context to insert them into a new framework.
