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 -
Edouard Wolton - AgArthA
3 - 26 Sep 2015 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris For his first solo exhibition in a gallery, this young artist, who graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts de Paris in 2010, presents a two-part scenography proposing works in which mathematics, geometry and Nature are mixed.

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 -
BENJAMIN MOULY | DE CONCERT
6 May - 20 Jun 2015 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris A little intimacy seems to have been removed from the harmonics delivered by each of the images composed by Benjamin Mouly. Isolated, individually, they take advantage of the interstices they create between them to operate in fragments in a sort of remanence. From them, the score, played indifferently in colour...

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

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 -
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 -
Mike Brodie | A period of juvenil prosperity
31 Oct - 30 Nov 2014 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Born in Arizona, Mike Brodie roams the American lands to offer brutal –from time to time shocking but always fascinating- images of those four years of travels, train by train, from one encounter to the next. Covered by masks such as pseudonyms, the amateur makes himself a name as the... 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 -
James Hyde
7 May - 21 Jun 2014 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris In the large paintings on view simple geometry and bright flat colors emphatically occupy large panoramic landscapes.

In these paintings, geometric bands to divide and frame the photographic surfaces, at... 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...

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 -
Yusuf Sevinçli
Solo show 4 Dec 2013 - 11 Jan 2014 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris When a traveller just arrived in Istanbul “the Magnificent”, his eyes set on the thousand minarets the city hosts, a swarm that gives rhythm to its vast territory the way the ships do on its seas. Astonished, he will dive into this bustling and rustling of the epic city. From... Read more

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 -
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 -
Katinka Lampe | Wannabe

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. From these early portraits, which benefited from the influence of Vermeer and the pictorial tradition of the Northern School, one will keep in mind an elegant... Read more -

Joris Van de Moortel l erratum musicale for 3 guitars and a metronome
4 May - 16 Jun 2012 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Joris Van de Moortel est un artiste qui défie les catégories.

Pascal Aimar & Mat Jacob 5 - 26 Feb 2011 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Since 1991, the world of photography has been familiar with Tendance Floue; it is less certain that the art world really knows this collective.

Emmanuelle Villard - Posturale attitude
16 May - 23 Jun 2007 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Abstraction I position myself in the field of abstraction by interest for its history of forms and contents, but also by pragmatism. This allows me to never have recourse to the composition as a space of projection, or to any narrative thread other than those of the paradigms it invokes.... Read more -
Katinka Lampe
7 Feb - 24 Mar 2007 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris For some years now, Katinka Lampe has been painting mainly portraits.

Lampe's reasons for painting mostly children have very little to do... Read more

Anja Schrey
7 Feb - 22 Mar 2007 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Such realism! This is the thought that comes almost naturally to mind when we first see Anja Schrey's colored pencil drawings. And indeed, the figure (like the artist, who appears on paper in ever-changing outfits and poses) looks strangely alive, almost tangible. Yet, despite their immediacy, these representations keep their... Read more -

James Hyde | Pandora
26 Mar - 15 May 2004 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris Indeed, Hyde’s work, as it has developed during the nineties, involves a deliberately do-it-yourself kind of experimentation, free of any aesthetic constraint, with painting’s different ways of signifying; it involves issuing various signs of painting in various objectal contexts. In this, although in a category all his own, he is... Read more -
Parodie

Yun - Jardin(s) Secret(s)
22 May - 12 Jul 2003 17 rue des Filles du Calvaire 75003 Paris The 'secret garden' is a sheltered corner, a place of forgetfulness and magical torpor, a reminder of the future and a forecast of the past. Here there is no alternation of day and night - a 'black' light, rhythmically distributed by flashes of visual projections, uniformly illuminates the entire space.... Read more -
