Parallel Forms
Past: January 11 → February 22, 2014
Further to these formal or artistic interplays, this exhibition tries to present the way these five artists keep on resisting their contexts, with their rules and codes. Singular and free, their works evidence this conceptual legacy as if it was above all a tool of emancipation bringing the scale of work back to that of the body.

Omer Fast — Everything That Rises Must Converge
Past: October 24 → December 21, 2013
The artist displays the routine of the everyday life of porn actors in relation to the intense and often absurd stories of the other characters. Yet again, Omer Fast blurs storylines by orchestrating a special kind of narrative normalcy, for these are in fact real porn actors acting out their lives in front of us.

Annunciation, a new solo show by Elina Brotherus at gb agency, is also the title of a new series of photographs initiated in 2009. This work retraces Elina Brotherus’ work back to photographs stemming from her own personal experience and her will to put on stage a subject still taboo: infertility.

Dominique Petitgand — L’oreille interne (The inner ear)
Past: March 23 → May 18, 2013
L’oreille interne includes three artworks : two sound installations which require a moving listener and a text work, appearing to have no beginning and no end, which requires an immobile reader, seated on a bench.

Inventing a future
Past: January 26 → March 16, 2013
The artists present in the exhibition are indeed not that much interested in the end of a story but instead in the fantasy of the rewriting, of the resumption allowed, of the projection towards something else. Once the limits are set, everything is made possible.

Jiri Kovanda
Past: November 8, 2012 → January 12, 2013
“Today, people show a lot of interest to the political aspect of my works from the 70s. At that time that aspect was indeed a fact but what mattered more was a personal and psychological dimension. Today the political issues have taken over and so the priorities have been reversed."— Jiří Kovanda

Hassan Sharif
Past: October 27 → December 21, 2012
Level One presents a solo show by Hassan Sharif, tracing 40 years of the artist’s creation: from his early works as a caricaturist to his performances and experiments on his London years, the Semi-System series with a set of drawings and his installations around the consumer society.

Pratchaya Phinthong
Past: September 8 → November 3, 2012
Pratchaya Phinthong’s world is a play of equivalences and flux, an organised ensemble of tensions between two positions; his art becomes a prolongation of this complex system, as the gallery turns itself into an active partner in a business whose stakes go beyond the habitual boundaries of art.

Mini-Concepts — Maxi-ideas — Exposition personnelle de Július Koller
Past: June 2 → July 21, 2012
gb agency presents the first exhibition by Július Koller since his passing five years ago. We think it valuable to reconsider the artist and his work from a different time and with a longer view. This approach has given us an opportunity to discover newly revealed aspects of the work.

A common feeling
Past: April 21 → May 26, 2012
A common feeling highlights the moment when the artist opens the door, welcoming the “other” into his work, underlining the point when this other takes part in the creative process; when it becomes both the starting point and the final destination; when the other is the trigger of a story, the omnipresent element around which all others orbit.

Pia Rönicke — Dream and action find equal support in it
Past: January 7 → February 18, 2012
“Dream and action find equal support in it” is a story of reflections, composition and decomposition. Three images have initiated the project: a photograph of a bathroom of the Eileen Gray E1027 house, a drawing of ‘the mirror room’ by the dancer Loïe Fuller from 1893, and the photograph of a circle of a woman by Hannah Hoch from 1917.

Past: October 29 → December 21, 2011
Mark Geffriaud’s work constantly refers to somewhere else, like a rendez-vous leading from one to another.
His second exhibition underlines Mark Geffriaud’s wish for exchange and a constant flow between works, ideas, forms and people.

Mac Adams
Past: June 25 → July 28, 2011
For more than 30 years Mac Adams has explored the narrative potential of photography and installation, composing and constructing mysterious scenes on the border of social norms. Potential homocides, victims and could-be assassins populate his compositions, held together by a series of clues, carefully and methodically left by artist.

Yann Sérandour
Past: May 7 → June 18, 2011
The interstitial and mimetic works by Yann Sérandour originate from existing works, publications and products which he reactivates and whose issues are changed. Embracing a conceptual view of art, he extends some historical expressions in other directions through infiltration, parasiting and “hijacking” operations.

Dominique Petitgand
Past: March 17 → April 30, 2011
Dominique Petitgand presents a set of pieces that articulate various relationships with speech (monologue, dictation, screams or cacophonies), language (the voices in French are accompanied by their English translations), editing (fragmentations, synchronicities or temporal gaps), space (playing of distances, mixing, resonances).

Robert Breer
Past: November 20, 2010 → January 15, 2011
Breer has always explored the ground underneath. Now for the first time he is shifting his focus of attention with his new piece Clouds (2010), which attests to the artist’s originality and inventiveness. Sculptures travel slowly in unison across the ceiling, like clouds blowing in the wind.
