EXHIBITIONS

CATHERINE PONCIN | TRAVERSÉES

4 Dec 2014 - 17 Jan 2015 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Writing on Catherine Poncin is a challenge: so much has already been written, and by so many critics who detailed and dissected the various aspects of her work, that the chore appears unbearably Sisyphean. And yet, a line can possibly be traced between the different bodies of images, browsing the... Read more

ANNI LEPPÄLÄ | THE BOOK OF IMAGES

4 Dec 2014 - 17 Jan 2015 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris The connections between the images are essential to my work. How the images affect each other and what kind of relations they create between each other. I try to trace this emerging “third image” between two or several images; the various combinations of images compose different interpretations; it is like... Read more

Matt Wilson | This place called home

31 Oct - 30 Nov 2014 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Like the travel notebooks of Bruce Chatwin, whose writings offered an incredibly sensitive and humanistic vision of an Australia forever lost, the photographic wanderings of Matt Wilson – another Anglo-Saxon globetrotter –provide ineffable images of the different countries he has traversed. Few in number and extremely unique, these modest photographs... Read more

Emmanuelle Villard | Peinture, arsenic et vieilles dentelles

14 Sep - 25 Oct 2014 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris As a painter, Emmanuelle Villard cherishes practicing and experiments, her favorite « pattern » implies seduction but also an ambivalent look on her surroundings. She goes to and fro between the medium’s seduction, the painting itself that attracts us and a feminity that has something a little lurid in itself.... Read more

Absurde, vous avez dit absurde ?

Group show 4 - 26 Jul 2014 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Sisyphus, condemned by the gods for having disobeyed them, was forced to roll a rock up a mountain that he had to eternally bring back to the top because the stone fell back down. The absurdity of the repetition of his endless and aimless action is a strong symbol of... Read more

Olivier Mosset

7 May - 21 Jun 2014 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Artiste incontournable de la scène artistique contemporaine, Olivier Mosset est connu pour avoir fait partie du groupe BMPT, à la fin des années soixante, et est reconnu pour son exploration du monochrome et de l’abstraction géométrique. Il ne se lasse pas, à travers ses différents accrochages, de renouveler le concept... Read more

Noémie Goudal | Haven her body was

14 Mar - 26 Apr 2014 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris If Noémie Goudal’s work seems to offer multiple ways in which it can be approached, this is because it maintains ambiguous connections with reality, relationships that are revealed to be the very essence of her universe—for it is indeed a universe that we can speak of with regard to her...

Ellen Kooi | As It Happens

14 Mar - 16 Apr 2014 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Les filles du calvaire gallery has the pleasure to annonce Ellen Kooi’s new exhibition. After the success of her retrospective in 2010 in Paris at the Dutch Institute, she’s back with new pieces. The photographs of Ellen Kooi are concerned with the symbiotic relationship between the landscape and those who... Read more

La femme d'à côté

Group show 25 Jan - 22 Feb 2014 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris This exhibition evokes a theatre where women play all the possible roles from the position of direction to action. The stage varies: the interior of a bourgeois villa, the rooms of an abandoned house where stories seep out of walls and furniture, out of an artist’s or a photographer’s studio.... Read more
