Choices Paris — Collectors weekend — Event — Slash Paris

Pour l’édition 2016 de CHOICES Collectors Week-End, la galerie présente la sculpture Madeleine de Paul Wallach.

Diplômé de l’École nationale supérieure des Arts-Décoratifs en 2006, Raphaël Denis invente des processus à partir desquels il développe des séries. Cette dimension conceptuelle de son travail s’incarne dans des œuvres où se conjuguent impertinence et gravité.

Depuis les années 80, Carmen Perrin s’est imposée comme une artiste plasticienne qui réalise des sculptures. Elle cherche à réaliser des œuvres qui articulent des relations entre la lumière, les matériaux et les qualités architecturales et sociales de l’espace public.

San Francisco-based artist John Chiara (born in 1971) pushes the boundaries of the photographic medium through his choice of process and the mastery of its possibilities. His approach is distinguished by its incredible physicality and recalls the early days of the medium when artists dealt with heavy, awkward equipment and endured long exposure and development times. Chiara’s giant cameras, which he designed and built himself, are transported to locations on a flatbed trailer to produce one-of-a-kind large-scale prints. The design of the cameras, which is much like daguerreotype box cameras, allows the artist to simultaneously shoot and perform his darkroom work while images are recorded directly onto oversized photosensitive paper (not film). This process, which Chiara first discovered as a student in 1999, invites anomalies in his final prints and adds to the mystery and lyricism of his pictures.
