In 17th century Italy, society treated a woman like a juvenile throughout her life: she belonged to her father, to her husband… However, Artemisia Gentileschi broke all those rules to belong only to her art and search for glory and freedom. For the 1st time in France, the exhibition at the Musée Maillol provides an opportunity to discover her painting.

The Mainichi Shodokai Calligraphy Association and the musée Guimet exhibit, for the first time in France, thirty-six works by Japanese contemporary calligraphers and late great calligraphy masters. Expressing the artist’s vital impulse, the art of calligraphy has been perpetuated until today, and is still very present in the everyday life of the Japanese.

For her first exhibition at the Inception Gallery, Christine Barbe reveals a certain maturity in photography and video experimentation. “Corps et Paysages Mutations” is a reflection about metropolis evolution: it focuses on the re-creations of ambiguous landscapes and queries urban worlds, where human activities collide with the environment.

(French only) L’exposition Derelict réunit dans un face-à-face inédit et stimulant deux jeunes artistes, Farah Atassi et Stéphanie Cherpin. Leurs pratiques distinctes — peinture et sculpture — sont mues par l’intérêt commun pour les ruines d’une certaine modernité, et dialoguent autour de l’ensemble des préoccupations de la jeune génération d’artistes.

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.

(French only) Annie Le Brun a effectué un important choix d’œuvres dans les collections du musée, pour signifier le sens du « Noir » chez Hugo. Cette invitation répond, avec un fort sentiment d’admiration, à l’une des missions que le musée s’est donnée dès son origine : enregistrer les échos contemporains suscités par l’œuvre de Victor Hugo.

(French only) L’exposition développe en quatre parties une nouvelle réflexion sur l’héritage colonial, ses mythes et ses fantômes. Premier mouvement de cette exposition, Trafic de Légendes, parle de la persistance des images, de la manière dont elles viennent coloniser le présent. Frayant leur chemin au cœur d’archives anonymes, les artistes recomposent des biographies improbables.

Sophie Nys worked around a photo of 1915 she bought in New York one day after workers from the Police Department evacuated persons and property from the privately owned public space of Zucotti Park or OWS on the 15th of November last year. The photo depicts an old water pipe which was found during the excavations for the Wall Street metro stop.

Human form presents two artists whose work questions the human body : for one the self develops into a vision while the eye of the second turns back upon itself. F. Chauveaux has moved from the dancer’s focus on movement to that of the director’s, capturing images. As a photographer, M. McCarthy has moved from behind the camera to become subject and paper.

“Solitudes” is a walk with Régis Crozat to discover 200 middle age castles in ruins, from Châtel to Samarkand. This inventory materializes the variety and the international dimension of architecture in the medieval military construction. A panoramic presentation renders the search for a lost place, taking the appearance of a treasure hunt.

(French only) A partir du matériau de base — la photographie, Malgorzata Lempicka-Brian rompt avec la signification traditionnelle qui lui est attribuée, y compris en matière d’Art, et l’ouvre à d’autres discours, d’autres sens. Elle utilise dans ses travaux des techniques à la fois photographiques et picturales.

(French only) Trois artistes, un francais, un danois et un espagnol, explorent les limites de la photographie en sortant de son support traditionnel. Si le vocabulaire photographique est présent, il s’exprime via un stylo, un pinceau ou encore du simple fil.

Pierre Roy-Camille exalt a contemplative posture, mimicking what he perceives from nature. The work presented here establishes a subtle game between the time of “making” by hand, and then of “de-making” with the eye. This balance produces a movement close to breathing that invites to both an instinctive and erudite approach of his work.

The Roads of Devotion is Bayrol Jimenez’ first solo exhibition at the gallery. While radically disparate, his work is driven mainly by drawing. The ease and freedom of his manner have their roots partially in the Mexican tradition of drawing that’s virtuosic and visually imposing, but they also blossom in his extending practice of installations.

“Marrella splendens” is the name of a creature that lived in the deep ocean, 500 million years ago. Lionel Sabatté’s work explores a relation with theories of evolution, prehistory and philosophical implications. His compositions all are springboards for the imagination, but also small meaningful experiences of poetic and sometimes ironic dysregulations.

For its first exhibition at Galerie Nathalie Obadia, MadeIn Company has put together an authentic conceptual programme announced by its manifesto-like title, “Sleeping Life Away”, which alerts visitors to the danger of collective anaesthesia in the age of mass consumption and the reign of communications (image over substance) in politics.

Marion Meyer Contemporain Paris welcomes two artists, Michel Aubry and Alexandre Joly. Both their art practice are deeply related to music, sounds and their aesthetical translation. Seeing sounds and hearing images confront each other here and propose an apprehension of an aesthetic and sensorial experience to the public with a host of reading keys.

(French only) Grand précurseur des modes de pensée et de vie beatnik des années 50-60, le philosophe et écrivain René Daumal a exercé une influence puissante sur plusieurs générations d’artistes à travers son roman : Le Mont Analogue. En hommage à cette œuvre, la Galerie Florence Léoni réunit le travail de quatre artistes qui ont directement puisé leur inspiration à la source de ce roman.

The representation of the human figure is at the centre of McCarthyʼs pictorial universe. Stylised, set against an abstract background with a rainbow across it, neither the representation of the figures nor the title of the works tell us anything about their origins or identity. They are emblematic figures with no clear ethnic origin.

(French only) La rencontre entre Isabelle Maiko Morin et Miyoko Caubet relève du hasard. Les deux artistes partagent la même vocation : trouver un langage pour exprimer leur vision du monde, en s’engageant à soulever les questions qui les inspirent. Image fixe ou image animée, peu importe, la projection s’impose à elles comme une forme d’écriture.

For his second exhibition at the gallery Jeanrochdard, Frank Selby presents a new series of thirteen meticulous and obsessive works on paper. Drawn from press photography, between 2011 and 2012, Selby’s works depict scenes of past and contemporary conflicts. Much more than a political interpretation of these events.

(French only) Unwritten (sculptures) s’intéresse au rapport que la sculpture et sa pratique entretiennent avec l’écrit, la littérature ou les textes, et montre comment les artistes investissent par des voies diverses ces notions pour fabriquer un langage visuel qui se situe entre apparition et disparition, dévoilement et dévoiement de l’immédiatété sémantique.

Charlotte Charbonnel is taking over the Backslash space to offer visitors an unsettling experience that constantly shakes up their senses. The sense of disorientation is given concrete form with installations that the artist arranges according to modes of expression closely tied into a form of lyricism. The artist subjects material, iron filings in particular, to multiple variations.

Richard Kern has lived and worked in New York City since 1979.

True to certain of his native cultural values, particularly the link between mankind and the environment, Li Wei has proved himself a shrewd observer of contemporary mores, both in China and abroad. He demonstrates this in his creations and his risk-taking performances that give rise to images which he then revisits digitally.
