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.

Traces — Une installation d’Amos Gitaï
Past: February 5 → April 10, 2011
Avec une œuvre inaugurée voici près de trente ans, Amos Gitaï est salué dans le monde entier comme l’un des grands cinéastes de notre temps. Traversés par la question de l’identité et de l’exil, de la mémoire et de l’Histoire, ses films engagent une réflexion sur le passé et le présent, sur la nécessité de la transmission et sur le rôle de l’art.

Karsten Födinger — Cantilever
Past: February 18 → March 27, 2011
The ghostly artworks of Karsten Födinger sneak into a space in order to disturb it. The discrete nature of the works — shards of plaster and bits of concrete forgotten on the floor — conveys a subtle analysis of the space all the while instilling an eerie feeling, as if it was left unfinished.

João Onofre — Box sized Die featuring No Return
Past: Thursday, March 24, 2011 at 7 PM
Activated, the work offers an invisible show contained in a closed space. Only the residues of the sound vibrations attest to the inner power. João Onofre makes the experience of an animated static object palpable while depriving visitors of any visible spectacle.

Reboot #2 — Ontologies, au sujet de n’importe quoi
Past: Thursday, March 24, 2011 7 PM → 10 PM
This session’s goal is to reopen the cold case of the definition of art for one evening, and to restart, to “reboot” the system of practices and theories that enforce the usual boundaries between what is art and what isn’t. We might say the aesthetic markers have been lost.

Past: Thursday, February 24, 2011 7 PM → 10 PM
In the first Reboot, each guest will submit two exhibition proposals that could be shown in the Palais de Tokyo during its renovations.

Les Jeudis de Fresh Hell — Eliane Radigue
Past: Friday, November 26, 2010 7:30 PM → 10:30 PM
Au royaume du post-sérialisme et de la musique concrète, Eliane Radigue est une compositrice minimaliste dont l’œuvre a été presque entièrement élaborée depuis le début des années 1970 sur un synthétiseur. À l’ère de la musique impalpable, sa musique, ascétique mais généreuse, spirituelle mais non rituelle, dessine un espace de méditation.

Les Jeudis de Fresh Hell — The Crystal Ark
Past: Thursday, November 25, 2010 7:30 PM → 10:30 PM
The Crystal Ark est une collaboration qui rend un hypnotique et forcément vibrant hommage à deux visionnaires, Sun Ra et Lee Perry. Une Dream Machine Music sur des claviers homemade cousus mains pour la piste de danse, qui prend dans ses filets des transes de percussions sud-américaines, une pulsation techno berlinoise et des voix.

Les Jeudis de Fresh Hell — Psychotropies
Past: Thursday, November 11, 2010 7:30 PM → 9:30 PM
Afin d’analyser au plus près les effets de la mescaline et d’en observer les effets sur la créativité, Henri Michaux l’expérimente dès 1954. Ces expériences réalisées avec l’aide d’un médecin, sous l’angle d’une approche purement scientifique, ont pour but d’élargir le champ de la conscience et d’en retranscrire les états inexplorés.

Pergola
Past: February 19 → May 16, 2010
1916 — Le Corbusier builds the Villa Schwob, flanked by a *pergola, in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Some years later, he publishes photos of it in L’Esprit Nouveau. On the ground, in front of the villa, a white smear betrays retouching: the pergola has disappeared from the reproduction.
