EXHIBITIONS

Olympus - Echange de vues

4 Dec 2015 - 16 Jan 2016 Art is fed by on correspondences, echo chambers, influences, claimed or not. Every artist is preceded by elders, masters, and in turn generates disciples. Every year since 2013, Olympus has revitalized this eternal dialogue by asking three great names in contemporary photography to sponsor three young graduates of the École... Read more

Esther Teichmann | IN SEARCH OF LIGHTNING

30 Oct - 28 Nov 2015 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Teichmann’s practice combines still and moving image, collage and painting to create alternate worlds, which blur autobiography and fiction. Central to the work lies an exploration of the origins of fantasy and desire and how these are bound to experiences of loss and representation. Through a parallel display of photographs... Read more

PAOLA DE PIETRI | QUESTA PIANURA

3 Sep - 24 Oct 2015 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris For this unseen series, Questa Pianura (2004/2014/2015…), she roamed through this wide plain of her childhood, where she still lives and which is still an agricultural territory, even though it has suffered drastic transformations these past fifty years – between agrarian restructuring and intensive suburban development. To make this «... Read more

QUAND FONDRA LA NEIGE, OÙ IRA LE BLANC

CURATED BY BERNARD MARCELLIS 4 - 25 Jul 2015 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris This title, borrowed from a painting made by the Swiss painter Rémy Zaugg, has probably been chosen for its imaginative power, for its references. We are talking about the disappearing of white. Is it a color, a monochrome or an achrome? These questions remain unanswered. When white is disappearing, what... Read more

CLAUDIA HUIDOBRO | TOUT CONTRE

6 May - 20 Jun 2015 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Like an embroidered lace, built on a mesh from which one never ceases to pull the thread, Claudia Huidobro's work calls for that breast that we cannot see. Not the one of pin-ups, objects of male fantasies that she hijacks by tearing them into collages with constructivist inflections, but rather... Read more

ISMAÏL BAHRI | FILM À BLANC

20 Mar - 25 Apr 2015 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris In Film à blanc, the images rub shoulders and influence each other in small ways. The nuance - that is to say, the minute difference - would be the principle of a mechanism where the motif of Tunisia would appear intermittently. Landscapes, bodies and voices appear in bits and pieces.... Read more

ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES

CURATED BY OLIVIER MARBOEUF 4 - 28 Feb 2015 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Narrator: Octavio Framboa “You see me as an angel, because of my voice, but an angel with a dirty face. It is due to my song that you know I am a creature, like you, a man. But the most miserable man. Because you saw me diving to the bottom,... Read more
