Soufiane Ababri — Haunted Lives
Past: May 5 → June 16, 2018
Ababri’s goal is to produce a militant discourse and this leads to a performative approach inspired by certain forms of resistance seen in the Afro-American and gay movements, a form of empowerment thanks to which these movements’ members took what was considered as a failing and turned it to their advantage.

Past: October 14 → November 25, 2017
“Delay”, Philippe Decrauzat’s new series of paintings suggests that an aesthetic renewal may well be underway, but not one that entirely disrupts his artistic language, nor the narrative that he has been endeavouring to establish since his beginnings.

Analia Saban — The Warp and Woof of Painting
Past: April 8 → June 17, 2017
Just imagine. An enormous ball, rather like a ball of wool, blocks the entrance to the studio. It is made up of strips of hemp taken from numerous canvasses, as if the artist has dissected the epidermis of each painting.

Brian Wills — New works
Past: October 8 → November 10, 2016
Brian Wills, a young, Los Angeles-based artist, has completely taken on board this ideology of the relationship between the space and the spectator. Adopting Mies van der Rohe’s famous motto “less is more”, his work is characterised by simple, smooth, pared-down geometric shapes that lend themselves to a physical form of appreciation.

Cause The Grass Don’t Grow And The Sky Ain’t Blue
Past: July 7 → September 24, 2016
This show brings together artists who call into question those systems that in art set out a hierarchy of materials and urban zones. These artists have set up their studios in the suburbs, by choice or for financial concerns. Their surroundings are often at the very core of their artistic practice.

Joe Reihsen — Being The Seeing
Past: May 28 → June 21, 2016
Reihsen belongs to a generation of painters that naturally integrated digital tools into their art while still being in high school in the 90s. Up until today, he would use computer terms to describe his process, where he would ‘copy and paste, distort, warp and rotate’, only to end up ‘scaling up’ or ‘scaling down’.

Jim Shaw — Rather Fear God
Past: April 2 → May 21, 2016
At the beginning of this “Dream Object” project, I envisioned a single show in which all the objects were piled in a gallery, like the detritus of a storm, surrounded by a series of comic panels based on the Jerry Lewis/ Dean Martin movie “Artists and Models” in which Jerry’s dreams come true.

Thomas Fougeirol’s playground is the surface of the painting and, having many years ago rid himself of the painter’s traditional tools, he envisages the act of painting and his contact with the canvas through the intermediary of imprints using pieces of fabrics and metal grids.

Thirty Shades of White — Curated by René-Julien Praz

When considering this exhibition designed to give the artists carte blanche, I thought point blank of a titled, but I won’t say that black is white: perhaps “Thirty Shades of White” was a rather predictable one.

Free Admission

By opting for the theme “Free Admission” in this autumn’s exhibition, Praz-Delavallade indirectly addresses the question of open access, a concept that has been generalised on the social networks, as users gain free and open access to cultural, scientific, philosophic and economic content.

Pierre Ardouvin — Wicked World
Past: September 12 → October 10, 2015
The exhibition presents new works, all linked by both a rootedness in the field of emotions and proliferation and by a large dose of poetically acerbic humor. The universes called upon, consisting of those things thrown on memory’s scrapheap, allow another memory to emerge, a melancholy at the boundary between the private and the collective.

Past: November 15 → December 20, 2014
This new exhibition is an extension of Brandt’s ongoing efforts in exploring historical image making techniques. The nature of woodblock printing being a process of cutting, leaving impressions and printing what remains, led Brandt to think about those who left impressions on him, resulting in a series of works representing the fingerprints of influential artists.

Forming the Loss in Darkness — curated by Jo-ey Tang
Past: June 22 → July 24, 2013
In the super-8 film by David Wojnarowicztitled, the black-and-white film turns into color at precisely the moment when its central character came into contact with an upstate New York lake in what appears to be a suicide attempt. Tracking the journey from slumber to death, nine artists’ works set an alternative mise-en-scène of the rarely-screened film.

Thomas Fougeirol
Past: April 20 → June 15, 2013
Thomas Fougeirol would like us to see the thing for the thing, when the moment the absorption of the images by materials, such as raw linen, wool and cashmere, crosses over as mental absorption. The instant when the physicality of abstraction is blown apart at the point of impact. The images recognize us, not the other way around.

Your History Is Our History
Past: November 23, 2012 → January 5, 2013
Agreeing to curate this show, in the period that straddles the waning year, validates my claim to stake a presence at the very heart of this turning point, filled, to be sure, with happy remembrances but also with the recall of more somber ones. A bittersweet nostalgia haunts my soul, fueled by memories of two books.

Light is a consistent subject matter in Hartley’s paintings. From references to the evanescent radiance of Turner or Monet to the digital glow of computer generated imagery, a history of light effects seems to be interwoven in all of the paintings. This is extended into his other practices.

John Miller has produced a varied œuvre that includes painting, sculpture, photography and video. With empathy, humour, and insightful observation, Miller plunges into the maelstrom of everyday life to distill the commonplace and the normal.

“My life follows the course it has been assigned from above”. These words pronounced by Albrecht Durer on the eve of his own wedding could well apply to the youthful Fabien Mérelle who recently became a father. Do we read there a special correspondence between the two artists, separated otherwise by five centuries?

Julian Hoeber confronts the often deskilled practice of minimal and conceptual art with the love of studio practice and the need of creating something with his own hands. Within this systematic approach, he explores irregularities and expressive details, and uses a very gestural facture, with thickly built-up surfaces.
