Christian Maillard — traveller, walker and lover of mountains — has wandered through a large part of the world and there are few countries in which he hasn’t set foot. Each time his vision is personal, rich and constructed: there is always much to say and see with his photographs.

Beauté Rationnelle: an ambitious title which expresses the desire to attain a form in art which is complete and universal, a form which finds its roots in reason, in other words logic, science and mathematics.

Rero’s crossed out words and expressions make their mark everywhere, from prestigious institutions to abandoned sites. “Error in the title” encapsulates a new direction in the artist’s work, as he explores the invisible and its possible forms of expression, those things we do not see, but that nonetheless exist.

Jean-Paul Lespagnard invites visitors to explore his creative process. Drawing from the identically titled 2014 collection, shown in September of 2013 in Paris, this exhibition evokes the exuberance of life at Mexico’s giant Mayan Riviera hotels and expresses the artist’s take on this artificial paradise, a world steeped in euphoria, sin and freedom.

Creation myths mix with dreams and memories in Pauline Curnier Jardin’s universe. On the occasion of his exhibition at the Édouard-Manet gallery, the artist, born in 1980, presents an immersive installation hitherto unseen in France. The visitor becomes the spectator to a tale of initiation with psychedelic tones.

Paul Souviron presents his exhibition “Entropy/Anthropy”. Entropy describes the decline in energy of systems, while anthropy describes the manner in which Man adapts the environment to his needs. An enhanced vision of the past and its natural decline, including the ever evolving “needs” of Man.

Xpo Gallery

“Psychophonetic Cabinet” is an exhibition dedicated to the visual characteristics of sounds, specifically sounds associated with speech. It proposes a reprisal of the ancient theories of music from the celestial spheres using small sculptures and musical compositions. It then discusses synaesthesia related to speech.
|

Jeune Création
|
| |

Marie Aerts presents recent works exploring the interstices of power, a place where symbols unfold their capabilities of fascination. Beyond their apparent strength, these symbols hide a dysfunctional side which is revealed by the artist through various strategies.

Dix9 Gallery

If time is Hugo Aveta’s primary material, it is his capacity to produce distance that appears through this exhibition. Twelve years later, as popular uprisings sweep countries around the world, Hugo Aveta stirs up this dark, uncertain border between fear and anger, between the desire for freedom and the quest for security.

Mounir Fatmi makes visible to the spectator the paradoxical aspect of our understanding of images. With this exhibition, he invites us to take part in sensory journey, going over the simple act of seeing, in a place where the dialog between the physical and metaphysical can take place.

Formally, Magazine Piece provides a critical perspective to postmodern aesthetic, especially to collage and geometric abstraction. The works hence becomes a critical tool of the society and gives ride to a new possible understanding of the image.

It is with soft and natural colours that Luo Dan photographs what surrounds him with sincerity and simplicity. Everyone’s life portrayed in its hardness and with moments of joy during a trek all across China. He has chosen a method which is at the same time simple and effective, that of a traveller almost disabused of the impossibility of circumscribing the immensity.

Laure Roynette Gallery

Mark Curran’s challenging new project “The market” sets out to make visible — literally and metaphorically — the sphere where our futures are speculated upon. His multi-media installation includes photographs, films, transcripts of interviews and a soundscape that investigate the functioning of the global stock and commodity markets.

“The Figure in the Carpet” is the title to a 1896 short story by Henry James, telling the desperate quest of an art critic for the secret meaning to the work of renowned writer Hugh Vereker. Like a hidden figure in the intricate lines of an ancient carpet, Vereker once tells the young critic that there is a key to the understanding of his work.

(French only) À travers sa pratique diversifiée, Guillaume Baychelier propose un univers souvent sombre et angoissé, mais offrant la promesse d’une rêverie sensible. Ses œuvres nous plongent dans une imagerie fantasmée, à la fois minimaliste et baroque, ne cherchant pas à être narrative, sans toutefois souffrir de mutisme.

The Louvre continues its exploration of the history of painting in America with a third special exhibition that compares and contrasts five Anglo-American portraits from 1780 to 1800 and slightly later, produced in the midst of a revolution that would lead to the independence and creation of the United States of America.

Nathaniel Mellors develops an art based on film-making; writing scripts as well as directing and editing them, and working closely with actors such as Patrick Kennedy and David Birkin. To these films, he adds works based on sculpture and film stills, such as the ones that can be seen in this show.

The exhibition returns to the story of Dibutade: on the eve of her lover’s departure she outlines his head’s shadow, projected onto the wall by lantern light. If this gesture is considered as the origin of painting and sculpture, it invites us to explore our relationship with the visible.

This exhibition represents the outcome of José Maria Sicilia’s work on birdsongs transcribed into images. His works birds’ sonograms into different mediums, depending upon the climate that he wishes to reveal: in octogonal shapes on white marble, in vast surfaces of ink on japanese paper…

(French only) Toujours réalisées à partir de photographies de famille ou d’objets ordinaires, sinon kitsch, les peintures et dessins figuratifs de Mireille Blanc tendent à l’abstraction par divers procédés de brouillage de l’image. Ainsi, s’il y a « reconstitutions », celles-ci passent chez l’artiste par la perturbation du visible et le surgissement du visuel.

For her second exhibition at Michel Rein’s gallery, the artist Maria Thereza Alves present “Beyond the Painting”, a 24-minute video for which thirty women reinterpreted postures of female nudes in French painting, and the new serie of paintings ”Unrejected Wild Flora”.

United under the title “A piece of lace”, the paintings produced over the last months by Armand Jalut are marked by the presence of machines, fashioning tools which collide with organic and dietary ingredients: a slice of grapefruit, fried eggs, banana diet, or coconut.

Louise Hervé & Chloé Maillet, aware that they are of how public speech is forthwith theatrical, and how a simple accessory can facilitate time travel, the performances quickly filled their role in the preparation — or extension — of films, exquisitely D.I.Y., that they have been directing for the past few years, and whose genre relentlessly wavers.

Marcelle Alix Gallery

The intention of the exhibition “et la Peinture… ?” is also to question the importance of showing painting in galeries. After years in which great emphasis was placed on other media, painting now appears to have a new impetus, driven by fresh thinking in the face of its great, sometimes overpowering history.

At the very heart of Mehdi Meddaci’s work are the concepts of exile, a no man’s land, cultural identity, the cyclical nature of life, memory and imaginary world that hides behind every location. His images are like windows to another world: they distance themselves from reality and convey a poetic force that is sustained by the feeling that time itself is wavering.
