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.

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.
