Erwan Morère | Wildside
4 Dec 2013 - 11 Jan 2014 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Erwan Morère favours very dense black and whites and a relative opacity that obstructs the eye, contradicting what is usually taught to young contemporary photographers. He even sometimes plays with blurry images that one can barely read. Intensely grained, the photographs’ contrasts are pushed to their very limits. Erwan Morère... Read more -

Astonished, he will dive into this bustling and rustling of the epic city. From... Read more -
Thierry Fontaine | La part de l'autre
31 Oct - 30 Nov 2013 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Thierry Fontaine plays with what makes an image, trying to change the semantics of it, the way other French artists from the 1980’s and 1990’s did, redefining the status of the image and broadening the possibilities of various visual interpretations. This conceptual stand reminds us of singular works such as... Read more -

Merlin James | Painting
26 Jan - 23 Feb 2013 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris ‘…James takes painting’s multiple and overlapping histories partly as his subject matter and partly as a point of departure. The paintings are stylistically promiscuous – it is hard to describe or even imagine a “typical James.” Yet seen together they not only make perfect sense but also articulate something of...

Laura Henno | La Cinquième Île
6 Dec 2012 - 16 Jan 2013 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris There is no reason to compare Laura Henno's work to that of other photographers, as her art is rather situated between painting and cinema.
