Filed under: Art contemporain, Photographie | Tags: , |

Vera Hofmann builds the objects spontaneously. Some go through a process, some are just there. The act of photography helps to record time – to understand the dichotomy of intuition and intellect. See also the Was bleibt galerie.

Filed under: Photographie | Tags: , , |


Au gré de ses rencontres virtuelles, qui pour une bonne partie d’entre-elles deviendront physiques et bien réelles, Ludmilla Cerveny s’imbibe des clés d’une génération, de leur manière de faire, jouant elle-même le jeu, d’où sa volonté de documenter cette période de sa vie.
Pour sa première exposition, Ludmilla nous propose certaines de ses rencontres, des filles et des garçons de son âge, tous unis par le lien du web, preuves à l’appui.

JAAP SCHEEREN — PARIS/UTRECHT

Filed under: Art contemporain, Photographie | Tags: , , , |


Jaap Scheeren brings a fresh and broadening of scope to art photography.

Next exhibitions at Paris Photo 2011 and in Utrecht.

Flatland, Utrecht. 17.09.2011 > 21.10.2011.

Filed under: Art contemporain, Peinture - Illustration, Photographie | Tags: , , |

As John McWhinnie’s essay for the catalogue accompanying this exhibition observes, the line between fact and fiction is constantly blurred, not only in Richard Prince’s work but also in the artist’s mythic identity.
