Liz Nielsen — Force Fields
Past: February 2 → April 8, 2017
The analog color darkroom is a magical place where a pitch-black environment allows only the vision of the mind’s eye. There, and without the use of a camera, Liz Nielsen creates unique photograms by building her own negatives and ‘painting with light’.

Hugo Aveta — El Silencio del Mundo
Past: September 10 → October 29, 2016
Fascinated by the desolate silence of death, Hugo Aveta explores the aesthetic possibilities of catastrophe.

Choices Paris — NextLevel Galerie
Past: May 21 → 22, 2016
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.

Crisis of identity, the way we live, and the ways we exhibit and exhibit ourselves: these are the underlying themes of Mathias Kiss’ pitiless exhibition that reminds us of our desires, our aesthetic foibles and our fixed ideas that end up transforming us into zombies wandering through interiors that are empty shells.

Farida Le Suavé — O
Past: March 21 → May 16, 2015
Farida Le Suavé shapes, handles, builds and bakes her earthen works — sandstone in this case — as if she was extracting them from shapeless magma, in the tradition of a Medardo Rosso yet with a paradoxical result that is less demonstrative: an object with a finite surface, of an irresistible visual tactility.

At first glance, Asako Shimizu’s latest photographs seem filled with silence, asleep under a thick blanket formed by the whirling snow. Yet, as their title suggests, these images tell us a story, inviting us along the snowy roads of Northern Japan, listening for the whispers of the universe.

Christine Maigne questions the paradoxal relations between natural and artificial through monumental or more intimate scale works. From an aspetized universe, almost achromic, strange sprouts are emerging which remind us that nature is a human concept whose limits could be pushed back.

Hugo Aveta — Ritmos primarios, la subversiòn del alma

If time is Hugo Aveta’s primary material, it is his capacity to produce distance that appears through this exhibition. Twelve years later, as popular uprisings sweep countries around the world, Hugo Aveta stirs up this dark, uncertain border between fear and anger, between the desire for freedom and the quest for security.

David Miguel — Outside is dangerous, Stay home !

Through drawing, installation and sculpture, the exhibited work of David Miguel questions our world, its actuality, while giving free rein to our imagination. That vision of our time won’t be without making us think to the dark romanticism movement, acting on the “terrifying sublime” as well as the “grotesque cruelty”.

Céline Nieszawer — Lost Control

The graphic works, collages and drawings of Céline Nieszawer are a treasure. In Lost Control she leads us through fairytales, fantasies and supernatural stories. Brought to life on her fictional pages are troops of little fingers on a stroll, swarms of trophy breast, couples of ultra-sheathed legs, faces occulted by masks, and numbers and screens on a merry spree.

Six artists and designers employ the medium of ceramics to evoke the Earth, society, man and concerns of the flesh. Their objects and sculptures, human in appearance, in all their complexity call into question the social image and the risk of individual breakdown: creating from the original soil is an organic and philosophical experience.

The dimension of Tomas Alonso’s work can be understood like different writings of that question mark. There will be as many answers as variations of interpretations of the models. They are sometimes paradoxical. One should always inclined to believe that freedom is a friend of contradiction.
