There are happy connections. What better place than the Musée de la Photographie « Charles Nègre » in Nice to exhibit some photographs judiciously taken from the works of Vivian Maier.

It is in this beautiful Nice setting, dedicated to photography, that the exhibition…

Whatever you do, don’t tell Katrien de Blauwer that she makes collages: “Let's say I’m a photographer without a camera. For me, cutting is comparable to clicking on the shutter release”. She snips, glues, assembles, infringes, colors and handles photographs from the old magazines she collects. Close to photomontage or film editing, her works conceal an intense narrative charge. They are linked to memory and personal history, but, paradoxically, as…
Claudia Huidobro was a model, strong from this experience of the manufactured image, she questions the gaze on the idealized woman, through fifteen works whose primary matter are photographs from magazines. The “Merveilleuses” are photographs of pin-ups in lingerie, pages of men's magazines whose ink has been sanded off to make frescoes of women whose image disappears rubbed out. The “Tools” used by the “Wonderful Women” to make themselves beautiful…
As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said: You can only see what you already know and understand. There are probably more incomprehensible than comprehensible phenomena between heaven and earth, and it is in this in-between, the known and the unknown that artists Roel Stels and Bart Ramakers operate. At first sight, no two artists are more different from each other. Roel is a maker, a constructor, a do-it-yourself engineer who starts with a…

It therefore took me a little more than two years of research and testing to be able to design a complete black and white development chain for paper emulsions, a developer, a stop bath and a fixative. For films, I am still studying the more delicate fixing operation, with an alternative fixative with onion and chives juice. During these two years, I made numerous successive adjustments. First of all, I…

Published by Skira Paris, this book shows the most recent photographs by Mexican artist Adrian Burns, in which he invites us to go beyond appearances to discover a symbolic world hidden in the mysteries of nature. His “pareidolic” eye reveals the organic curve of a snow-covered valley, the geometric fragmentation of ice and waves, or even the physiognomy of a face. By reworking his graphite or acrylic prints, he emphasizes…

The Hood Museum of Art, Dartmouth presents the exhibition Panûpünüwügai (Living Light) by Cara Romero. It is presented as follows. The Chemehuevi word panûpünüwügai, which translates to “living light,” has multiple meanings: the spirit of light; the way light interacts with people; and how both light and people are enlivened through these interactions. We see its rich implications in the art of Cara Romero, who both paints with light in…

Château Coquelle in Dunkirk presents until April 5 an exhibition by Thierry Girard entitled: Places of affect [landscapes, people, lives]. He sent us this text. As a young photographer, I carried out photographic work around Dunkirk between February and June 1982. It was my first artist residency and my first published book, Far-Westhoek; the Westhoek being precisely this western point which forms the border between France, Belgium and the North…

Erieta Attali : The timeless illusion Born in Tel Aviv, Erieta Attali embodies the Mediterranean light and the mystery of ancient shadows. At the age of fifteen, moving between Athens and the Princes’ Islands, she was already destined for the art of photography. Her strides through forests, her gaze upon archaeological ruins, and her wanderings among abandoned Byzantine churches shaped her vision. The hidden cemeteries overlooking the Sea of Marmara…
Dis quand reviendras tu ? (Say when will you come back?) First of all, the title of the exhibition is fantastic. Its author Marc de Pierrefeu explains it this way! “Black is a sublime light” Barbara is one of those popular artists who are more than the sum of their songs. It is a mental space, a territory that cannot be completely mapped. When Noëmi Waysfeld asked me to work…
