Image glanée. As a holiday "backpacker", I have created my séries « image glanée » made of photos taken as I went my trips, without pre-arranged location nor preparation.. Facing an every day life scene, I only have a few second to adjust the setting before shooting then... I continue my way. My photos are not subjected to any post processing touching up. But if need be, I can possibly…
COSMOCOLOR The first time a human being tried to communicate with an image he used a color, with which he colored his hand and covered entire walls with handprints, "signs" that from the depths of a cave have crossed millennia and now have come down to us: the first sign of awareness. If in the shadows the light tries to find a form to the unawareness, in that dark cave…

“I had to be an actor,” Michael Caine once said. “[…] And of course, you have to remember with me, the alternative was a factory.” A working-class actor who broke through to stardom, Caine’s screen-time involves standout performances across multiple genres. To this day, he is synonymous with a certain kind of urbane cool. No camera has captured this quality over the decades better than that of his collaborator and…
James Hayman is a photographer as well as a film / television director, producer, and cinematographer based in Los Angeles. After attending The American University for photojournalism, Hayman’s first photography assignment was to photograph Nixon and Brezhnev at the 1973 Washington Summit in the White House Rose Garden. Disenchanted with the paparazzi-like frenzy, Hayman went on to study film at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and post-graduate work at…

The natural landscape, a source of inspiration for artists for many centuries, is at the heart of our programming. The MONTAGNE MAGIQUE MYSTIQUE exhibition draws on historical photographs from 18 public and private collections in Switzerland and reveals…
Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Chronicle I invite you into this new era whose birth, for future historians, may be set March 11th, 2021. While our entire planet was entangled in the painful realities of our biological survival, the height of the illusory settled - probably in a lasting way - among us. That day, an immaterial work (or almost) by an author little known in artistic circles, was offered for sale…

Since the age of 16, she has photographed the city in a documentary approach, also with a personal research. “As a way to explore, challenge and resist society,” she writes. Myriam Boulos will receive 8,000 euros in aid to continue her project, the first images of which…
Chester Higgins walked into the photographic studio of P.H. Polk in Alabama in 1967 to pick up a photograph for an advertisement in his Tuskegee University newspaper. He left with something entirely unexpected--the first awareness of a passion that would unfold throughout his life. Higgins caught a glimpse that day of photographs hanging behind Polk’s studio curtains that he had taken during the 1930s of people in the rural South.…
Gallery FIFTY ONE will surprise its visitors with an unusual pairing of two master photographers: Vivian Maier (USA, 1926-2009) and Stephan Vanfleteren (Belgium, 1969). For this exhibition, Vanfleteren will select some images from his diverse oeuvre as a reflection on the work of Vivian Maier. The result: a surprising confrontation between two photographers of a very different place and time, that have one thing in common: a love for the…
The selection Vanfleteren made for this exhibition is diverse; from his portraits of the series ‘Belgicum’, to his snapshots taken during countless travels and encounters and even a photo from the time he traveled across the US dressed as Elvis. Sometimes the connection between the work of both artists is quite literal, such as Maier’s image of a women photographing her friends versus Vanfleteren’s infamous photo of an elderly couple…

After 37 years, Michael Hoppen Gallery is relocating from Jubilee Place on June 10th. Michael Hoppen sent this text : When I moved into Jubilee Place in 1983 I used this picture by Zoltan Glass from 1931 to announce our arrival. It was a picture given to me by Jan Whitecross, the previous occupier, who had run photographic studios from the site for over 25 years. Jan had been given…
Her name is Agathe Catel. She is a photographer. She sent us this very fair and touching email about the times we are living in! “Why do so many women doubt themselves? Why haven't we been taught to assert ourselves, to decide, to choose and to impose ourselves in the jungle of the world? What approval do we need? I so often doubt my steps. Am I in the right…
“In every culture and across time, artists have been captivated by the human figure.” - Thomas P. Campbell The curve of a hip, the softness of a breast, the firmness of a buttock, the way a body contorts in pain or ecstasy, how skin wrinkles and loosens with age, the fat or the thin, healthy or sick… we never tire of looking at the human body, whether for its beauty,…
