Whether making films, installations, or collages, Julien Crépieux’s work proposes original devices, through the appropriation of images, films, texts, and music, of which he then twists the modes of appearance, giving rise to works that are marked with a dimension that is formal as well as poetical.

“What interests me in Comandon’s work is the ingenuity of his filming device and of the imaginary within it. His way of dipping into microscopic research like a quest for interiority, is what links my practice to his. With the help of his camera, Comandon perforates the surface and goes beyond it to make visible everything there is to see.” — D. Douard

Ulla von Brandenburg’s works often move between such liminal spaces of the real — the spectral images in her drawings, her installations which plunge us into another world, and the highly dramatised mises-en-scène in her films. For her exhibition at Rosascape, Ulla von Brandenburg gives particular attention to the visual artifice of image duplication.

Inviting 18 photographers from all over the world, Gallery 208 drafts a panoramic view of contemporary photography. The choice of the subject and technique, the plurality of forms and emotions, the meeting of different cultures and sensibilities explore the conception and aesthetics of photography as a visual art of its own.

For the show Highlight Park, the artist invents a half pipe in the gallery space as a redefinition of sculpture experience. From Culture Skate, Julien Colombier questions the alternative practices of urban space with the notion of development as aesthetic way. By a complex graphic technique, he uses chalks to invade areas as diverse as paper, canvas, wall… the skate track…

“Enacting Populism” tackles the relationships between art practices and the populist mediascape that connotes the current political Zeitgeist of Europe. During the last two months of the presidential elections campaign in France, it develops a historical perspective and a potentiality to re-think the meaning of participation as fundamental for democracy.

(French only) Chiche de penser une exposition à partir d’un motif ? Pourquoi ne pas se prêter au jeu, prendre son élan et sauter à cloche pied à travers la chronologie, les concepts et les mediums, puis, converti à cette gymnastique enfantine, se raconter de nouvelles histoires ? Mais à jouer les funambules, on n’est pas à l’abri de questionnements existentiels.

“Ai Weiwei — Interlacing” is the first major exhibition of photographs and videos by Ai Weiwei. It foregrounds Ai Weiwei the communicator — the documenting, analyzing, interweaving artist who communicates via many channels. Ai Weiwei used especially photography since his return to Beijing, he has incessantly documented the everyday urban and social realities in China.

With Berenice Abbott, urban experience is at the heart of the exhibition: in an America shaken by the Wall Street Crash, her images of 1930s New York convey her fascination with an urban landscape in the throes of dramatic change. Also known for championing the work of Eugène Atget, Abbott, who originally wanted to be sculptor, proved to be a great photographer of matter, space and light.

“Art is always contemporary, it is always about the present. The way that artists have looked at the present has changed drastically over time. The present is very different throughout times but even within the same generation. It is always a unique fragmented perspective, an entirely different country (…)."

Movement, appropriation, and poetic acts are at the center of his practice, which is developed through all sorts of media: performance, actions, films, photographs and publications. Robert explores a dialogue between his body and its representation, which explores the limits of the image as well as language and the gap amidst the two.

Of the early 20th century composers, Claude Debussy (1862-1918) was without doubt the one who found his greatest inspiration in the visual arts and the poetry of his time. “I love pictures almost as much as I love music” he wrote in 1911. The exhibition aims to evoke the composer’s main encounters with his contemporary performers, painters and poets.
