This exhibition describes a world dreamt up by Françoise Huguier, without promotional romanticism or lyricism, but rather a collection of images gathered and elegantly created, as if it were nothing at all. Up close and personal with her subjects, with an insolence she claims as her own.

It’s not by chance that Marie-Paule Nègre, then a young photographer, selected the world of jazz as the theme for her first big work as an artist. This was not a coincidental choice. Jazz was created by — and for — those who suffered racial and social exclusion. People without words. People without images.

“Comment j’ai inventé Edith Scob…” was first, following a commission from CNAP, a creative workshop broadcast on France Culture in October 2013. A portrait of two people who are strangers. A radio-portrait, in true and false, in sounds and silences: 56 mins based on notes and messages.

La MABA

|
For this exhibition, the artists realised research and workshop based creations in which they conceived a multitude of works in parallel, where works liberally influenced others. The result outlines an environment defined by memory, with links developing through echoes, references and recollections.

“Animaux, Mythes, Villes, Contes nègres, Fragments, Miracles” are the six revealing titles of the leading chapters of Yona Friedman’s illustrated tale “1001 nuits + 1 jour”. The drawings originally covered the walls of the artist’s studio, this decor was taken apart when Friedman left the studio for his apartment on boulevard Garibaldi.

Pop Art constituted one of the key influences over Alessio-B’s imagination for the mise-en-scene of cinematographic myths, pop and rock music heroes and the stars who occupy our screens and advertising posters.

Véronique Smagghe Gallery

In appropriating bits and pieces of torn urban posters, Jacques Villeglé fulfilled a graphic and political (hi)story of the street. This seemingly simple approach, or one which at the very least can be summed up in an exclusive gesture, makes it possible to ask all sorts of questions about the status of the painting-as-object.

As part of ARC Opus, in collaboration with the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the students at ENSAPC are presenting two exhibitions: one at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris from the 6 to the 15 June and the second part at the ENSAPC gallery.

In the 1930’s, Brassaï, not yet a photographer, but already a compulsive “stroller”, observes and takes notes on the traces of a society in complete mutation, the dark corners of which he loves to explore. “He tracked down plots of wasteland, favourite places for lovers and children, leaving the signs of their love…”

Galerie G-P & N Vallois

“L’état du ciel — 3ème partie” displays monographic exhibitions of work by Ed Atkins, a troubling testament, and also Eduardo Basualdo, the Argentine artist of the massive meteorite, and artist collaborations around the central themes such as time or the fall.

After two successful exhibitions at the Pittsburg Mattress Factor and at Art Unlimited Bâle in 2013, the Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota is filling the Daniel Templon gallery with a new project: “Small Room”. The artist transforms the gallery space with a spectacular installation of suitcases.

(French only) Christian Gonzenbach aime explorer l’intérieur des choses, notamment en inversant le monde connu. Son travail consiste à produire des objets, des films ou des installations qui emploient un vocabulaire qui semble familier mais étrangement décalé. Sa recherche est d’explorer cette frontière ténue entre le normal et le bizarre, là où le monde perd son sens.

Sator Gallery

Norbert Bisky’s figurative style of painting, conjuring up the socialist realism he experienced as a child in GDR, is striking in its use of shimmering colours and its apocalyptic visions. Peopled by beautiful young men, his work depicts ambiguous scenes that lie somewhere between natural catastrophe, battlefield and festivities.
