The photographic work done by Manuel Álvarez Bravo over his eight decades of activity represent an essential contribution to Mexican culture in the 20th century. His strange and fascinating images have often been seen as the product of an exotic imagination or an eccentric version of the Surrealist avant-garde. This exhibition will go beyond such readings.

Laurent Grasso
Past: May 22 → September 23, 2012
Laurent Grasso has conceived his exhibition around the recurring concerns of his work, in which the relation to time and temporality becomes uncertain, as is the origin of the objects he creates. His exhibition devices always change the architecture of the host space and his pieces challenge the viewer’s perceptions.

Past: February 21 → April 29, 2012
With Berenice Abbott, urban experience is at the heart of the exhibition: in an America shaken by the Wall Street Crash, her images of 1930s New York convey her fascination with an urban landscape in the throes of dramatic change. Also known for championing the work of Eugène Atget, Abbott, who originally wanted to be sculptor, proved to be a great photographer of matter, space and light.

Diane Arbus
Past: October 18, 2011 → February 5, 2012
Diane Arbus revolutionized the art she practiced. Her bold subject matter and photographic approach produced a body of work that is often shocking in its purity, in its steadfast celebration of things as they are. Her gift for rendering strange those things we consider most familiar, and for uncovering the familiar.

Le titre de l’exposition, « Empire, State, Building » évoque d’abord le nom d’un « bâtiment-temple-monument-œuvre », celui d’un célèbre gratte-ciel new-yorkais qui n’a cessé d’être depuis son achèvement en 1931, mythique et emblématique des États-Unis, mais aussi une source d’inspiration pour l’art du XXe siècle.

Imaginez un livre qui est grand ouvert, mais n’a pourtant ni couverture ni pages. Ses personnages changent d’apparence d’un chapitre à l’autre, se transformant en plantes d’espèces disparues, en machines nouvelles, ou en galaxies impossibles. Ils rencontrent des obstacles ou encore deviennent eux-mêmes l’un de ces obstacles.
