Thierry Maindrault's Monthly Chronicle I am always sorry to see, before my eyes, a buyer being tricked by one of our peers without much scruple. The scene becomes totally distressing when the seller (also producer of the image) commits his misdeed in complete innocence. The worst is when the sale is made by an intermediary, also called a professional, who literally defrauds his buyers at risks shared by the author,…
The Galerie Le Réverbère in Lyon will close at the end of the year. Histoire(s) sans fin will be their last collective exhibition, it will open in September.

By Halyna Hleba Based on PinchukArtCentre Research Platform materials Modern Ukrainian conceptual photography began in the 1970s in the then Soviet Kharkiv with the emergence of a generation of young people who dared to go beyond the Soviet aesthetics. Members of the Vremya art group developed the "blow theory" in the early 1970s as their own idea of art photography, in which corporeality was a tool against the pseudo-optimism of…
Alcatraz Since 2020 I’ve visited Alcatraz - the former prison island in San Francisco Bay – to reflect on pandemic-era themes of isolation, confinement, and social control. Alcatraz is Spanish for a type of bird. We say “free as a bird,” but some birds live in cages. Sometimes they are jailbirds. Alcatraz Island, whose name evokes freedom, has become synonymous not with the bird but with the cage. Although the old penitentiary’s…

The cultural program…

It is presented as follow: The works of Alfons Alt take us into two identified coexisting expressions: photography, and what would be in the order of painting. Once the shot has been taken, and its transfer treatment on the canvas carried out, Alfons Alt will apply pigment juices with a brush to…
Deborah Bell Photographs presents Conceptual Matters, an exhibition of photographs depicting artworks by artists of the late 1960s-1970s who pushed the boundaries of visual perception in performance, land art, conceptually-based body art, and photography. The 1960s introduced after Pop Art several non-narrative movements in the plastic arts including Minimalism, color-field painting, and a renewed appreciation of Assemblage. "Happenings" of the late 1950s, and the interest in dance as a form…
My research on alternative developers discussed at the University Institute of Vine and Wine. Before giving you my three index cards/recipes for this week, here are some technical notions collected from Natalia Quijada Morin* Lecturer at the Institut de la Vigne et du Vin in Dijon. First observation. In the different ingredients that I use to design my alternative developers, I only use red wines with a PH between 3.4…

The seventh edition of the LES FEMMES S’EXPOSENT festival opened its doors in Houlgate, in Normandy. The festival is entirely dedicated to professional women photographers (all categories: photojournalism, documentary photography, art photography, etc.).

They earn less than their…

Starting from the etymological translation of Houlgate as a “hollow path”, I wanted to create an autofiction by providing a unique perspective on this maritime town in Normandy. Having grown up in this region, these landscapes remain a strong anchor for me. Through the iconic architecture of Houlgate, the places take a central place within the images. The winter setting with empty tourist spaces, closed shutters and echoing silence are…
A gateway to Mexico and North America, Tapachula is an almost obligatory stopover for the thousands of migrants coming from South and Central America. In recent years, it has become one of the main epicenters of the global migration crisis. Due to restrictive U.S. government policies, which have transformed the Mexican territory into a huge border, migrants must apply for their migration permit in this city before continuing their journey.…
Trained as a graphic designer, I decided in 2016 to devote myself entirely to photography. Today, the more I advance in my artistic practice, the more I approach my projects from a documentary angle, but I think of them from the outset with an aesthetic approach, even plastic if the subject lends itself to it. By mixing these different ways of working on my subject, I go beyond the imposed…
Japan, Hokkaido, 2023. The indigenous Ainu people, after 150 years of forced assimilation, find strength in their quest for identity, recognition and reconciliation. Hokkaido is a vast territory with winter beauty, forests, volcanoes, lakes and wild coasts. Here, the earth breathes. Before Japanese colonization, it was that of the Ainu, hunter-fishermen people with deep animist beliefs and a strong culture. After a century and a half of assimilation and discrimination,…
