Initially interested in cinema, René Burri then turned to photography, but retained a great fascination for movement. This exhibition brings together over a hundred photographs illustrating the notion of movement: young people dancing in the streets of Rio or the artist Jean Tinguely in front of machines in motion…

Keiichi Tahara’s interest in light has constantly made him oscillate between what he calls white light and black light, between sunlight and imaginary light. This exhibition — which the Maison Européenne de la Photographie has entirely devoted to him — is a retrospective which retraces this perpetual quest for light.

For several years, Sylvain Bourget has collected and analysed the practice of domestic performances which he studies via amateur videos which have grown rapidly on the web. The places of these performances, movements generated by these practices and instructions for performing are all united in “Tragédie du solite”.

Three artists from the same generation but from very different backgrounds: the Catalan Jaume Plensa, the American Kiki Smith and the Cameroonian Barthélémy Toguo. Three artists who over the last decade have forged an international reputation. Three artists who like to explore a variety of materials and produce two and three dimensional art works.

Site Fu’s canvases seem to superimpose the layers and time of the narrative, introducing a psychological dimension to the space. Hallucinatory visions rear up in the immobile décor like traces or snippets of memories or fantastical presences.

Roman Moriceau creates connections between the infinitely large and the infinitely small in order to reveal the butterfly effect of our social way of being. From a concerned and humanist perspective, he examines our relationship with images by highlighting dichotomous relationships.

“The Registry of Promise” is a series of exhibitions that reflect on our increasingly fraught relationship with what the future may or may not hold in store for us. These exhibitions engage and play upon the various readings of promise as something that simultaneously anticipates a future, its fulfillment or lack thereof.

Cécile Beau is interested in phenomena too slow or too discrete for the human time scale; those we cannot see or are barely perceptible. She takes them to overturn our ordinary perceptions. With “Substrat”, she proposes a semi-subterranean fiction far from our usual references.

Here five artists have taken to the road at the invitation of BAL in search of a story, often their own. The motorway, anonymous and yet so familiar, has become the domain for their creation, the playing field of the self. They travel in space and time, their wanderings lead them to lose themselves as well as find themselves.

Julian Hoeber third solo exhibition at the gallery features a series of new paintings, an architectural intervention in the form of crown moldings, as well as a selection of sculptures, including a door leaning against the wall, a chrome tube chair with a twist, and two cameras on a tripod.

Oana Farcas, Robert Fekete and Sergiu Toma are painting everyday life. With monochromes or juxtaposed colours and photographic effects. They experiment links between the observed and the observer, where sometimes the beholder’s viewpoint becomes an integral part of the painting.

Before starting any reflection on Pablo Lobato’s work one can notice an urgent appeal to the touch through the images. The very sensual gesture of piercing fruits to only reach for their seeds in “Muda” calls for the sense of touch just like the beam of light that projects the film “1000 x 1” is almost tangible.

The magazine “Initiales” is focusing on a collective experiment and place with this fourth issue devoted to Monte Verità: a community of pre-hippie artists and anarchists created in Switzerland in 1900, with Hermann Hesse, Otto Gross, Isadora Duncan, and also Max Weber.

The title of the exhibition derives from the well-known tale “The ugly duckling” by Hans Christian Andersen. Like the history of the small swan, the works by Søren Martinsen confront the widespread notion of a harmonious and idyllic life in the country.

The exhibition, by offering the possibility to handle the binder, a heavy object, will give each person the chance to feel the magnitude of the novel-artwork “The Novel That Writes Itself”. The work is meant to be Allen Ruppersberg’s autobiography, as fictionalized as it may be, and must therefore embrace the essence of the artist’s work during the past 40 years.

Amanda Coogan is one of Ireland’s most renowned performance artists. Her expertise lies in her ability to condense an idea to its very essence and communicate it through her body. For this exhibition, the Centre Culturel Irlandais has chosen key works from her œuvre.

“I often say that my work stems from daily observations. As if from the places that I inhabit, certain details and feeling have been cracked open, from which I remove a section to be shown. The photographs that I take don’t come completely from everyday life, and generally are taken during my travels.” — Edith Bories

Known for his complex installations inspired by the Wunderkammern and museums, if not scientific laboratories, Mark Dion takes particular interest in the relationship between man and nature through the constructs of knowledge and scientific dissertations produced throughout the ages.

(French only) L’art et le langage au sens de la langue sont des jumeaux. Ils sont consubstantiels pour dire, entendre et comprendre notre monde. Ils ont leur système propre, ouvert ou fermé ; changeant, évoluant, jusqu’à se mêler parfois, et même s’échanger. Cette exposition explore le lieu, l’espace où l’un et l’autre se mêlent, où ils redeviennent indissociables.

Pipaluk Lake’s works of art offer the vision of magma in a continuous state of transformation, the image of the genesis of a world at the same time unknown and familiar, marvelous and scary. Here the imaginary confronts itself with elements, with matters and their rules.

Born in Minneapolis, Tom Arndt’s photography focuses on his native Minnesota. Belonging to the grand, classic tradition of American documentary photography, Tom Arndt’s body of work offers us a sensitive, empathetic portrayal: a family album of the people from Minnesota.

Xavier Veilhan likes to consider a place’s spirit. He has filled the garden of the Eugène-Delacroix museum with a musical spectacle. The mechanical ballet which he has imagined functions as a visual prelude to the performance of a piece for the harp by Eliane Radigue, “Occam I”, which was composed in 2004.

(French only) Johann Rivat peint l’exaltation des inconnus qui se dressent, ici et là, contre l’ordre du monde. Fasciné par l’égarement des peuples désenchantés, il représente le rêve fou de ceux qui veulent changer le système sous nos yeux cathodiques. Les scènes de rue de Johann Rivat ont l’intensité ardente des tragédies grecques.

For its inaugural exhibition, entitled “Tambour battant” [to the Beat of the Drum], Salle Principale showcases the work of Patrick Bouchain. In addition to the exhibition, which deals with his way of interpreting laws to take concrete action and make things possible, he has generously offered to make this new space inhabitable.

Patrick Javault invites Anne Laure Sacriste to the occasion of the release of his book “Orion Aveugle”, which unites a selection of works, composition paintings, characterised by the use of monochrome backgrounds and also the presence of plant life reminiscent of landscapes seen in nature or in classical or romantic painting.
