Thomas Fontaine — La toute puissance est en vous
Closing
Ends in 3 days: January 13 → February 25
A l’instar des mains jointes de la religion catholique, du poing levé de la révolte, de la main tendue à plat du salut fasciste, des deux doigts écartés des hippies ou encore de la manita des « indignés », la fameuse position des mains lors d’une séance de « table tournante » réussit à elle seule à symboliser universellement le mouvement spirite.
New Frontier — L’art américain rentre au Louvre
Thomas Cole
Asher B. Durand Ends in about 1 month: January 14 → April 16 Inspired by the sentiments expressed in contemporary American literature by writers such as James Fenimore Cooper and William Cullen Bryant, the works of Cole initiated the representation of a certain type of American landscape, both untouched and grandiose, that became a particularly new and fertile genre in the young school of American painting.

Debussy, la musique et les arts
New
Ends in 4 months: February 22 → June 11
Of the early 20th century composers, Claude Debussy (1862-1918) was without doubt the one who found his greatest inspiration in the visual arts and the poetry of his time. “I love pictures almost as much as I love music” he wrote in 1911. The exhibition aims to evoke the composer’s main encounters with his contemporary performers, painters and poets.

Exhibition “Kindred Spirits”, January 30 — February 25

Heimo Zobernig
Closing
Ends in 10 days: January 21 → March 3
Two spaces for an exhibition, one expects for an intervention playing on both spaces simultaneously, even a re-duplication. This time at the Chantal Crousel Gallery, the doubling is not so evident. In appearance, one space, La Douane is dedicated to video works and sculptures while a recent series of paintings is on display at the rue Charlot space.

Hubert Duprat
Ends in 17 days: January 14 → March 10
Substance is universal and trans-historical and its possibilities are infinite. Juggling between mineral, tactile and sensorial universes, Hubert Duprat organizes the unexpected encounter of materials, and places himself at the crossings of two worlds: the world of free artistic expression, and the world of rationally organized artifacts.
Closing
Jérémie Delhome — Sans objet
Closing
Ends in 3 days: January 14 → February 25
“Sans Objet” is Jérémie Delhome’s first solo exhibition. Faced with his works, the viewer must be questioning. Sometimes silent, the paintings seem unwilling to yield hints or codes. Enigmatic, they seem set against deciphering, and appear both as an inventory of unexpected proposals, but also as a contribution to the abolition of existing genres.
Closing
Yang Yongliang — La Source aux Fleurs de Pêcher
Closing
Ends in 10 days: January 7 → March 3
Dans sa nouvelle série, Yang Yongliang reprend cette allégorie en proposant une illustration sombre de cette région idyllique laissant errer des personnages vêtus de blanc, sans distinction particulière, dans un décor traditionnel aux pêchers sans fleurs et dans lesquels surgissent d’immenses éléments industriels et urbains en pleine décadence.

Closing
Finishes tomorrow: January 7 → February 24

Miguel Branco — Deserto
Ends in about 1 month: January 28 → March 31
As the visitor makes his way through the maze of silent and skilfully constructed installations—with their budhhas, beggars, monks, scribes and butterflies—he will encounter different perceptions and different experiences which will perhaps enable him to feel at one with the world of art and its diverse manifestations.
Pierre Dunoyer
Ends in about 1 month: January 21 → March 24
Il y a près de 35 ans que je travaille dans l’essentialité du tableau, c’est à dire dans la faculté plastique à faire du tableau un porter à manifestation. Je n’ai jamais pensé mon travail en termes d’évolution, mais en termes de certification. En effet le tableau, tel que je le peins, se fortifie à la fois dans son exécution.
Closing
Vincent Beaurin
Closing
Ends in 3 days: January 12 → February 25
Vincent Beaurin creates his exhibitions as if they were landscapes. Each piece of work is positioned in the space, in the same way as the many different places which compose a landscape. They attract and produce an effect that, due to its unusual quality, some have called aura. This radiance is more consistent with gravity and electromagnetic force.
Closing
Dan Flavin — An Installation
Closing
Ends in 10 days: January 14 → March 3
In a constant dialogue with painting, sculpture and architecture, Dan Flavin’s three-dimensional monochromes with fluorescent tubes or light bulbs became his only medium in 1961. Though he refuses all ecstatic interpretation, he introduced the presence of the immaterial in the sensorial and physical experience of transforming colour and light into matter.

Ends in 3 days: January 21 → February 25

Closing
Didier Trenet — Championne de descente
Closing
Ends in 3 days: January 7 → February 25
You’ll enter this new exhibition by Didier Trenet in a winner’s mood. The programmatic title of this selection of works suggests a content with the perfect balance: 50% exploit, 50% ridiculous, in the 18th century sense of this word. Didier Trenet’s work is born splendid, and spreads on many supports the unchaste mating of a shameless technical mastery with the art of jokes.
Closing
La Décadence
Closing
Ends in 3 days: January 27 → February 25
It is through the prism of politics and social issues that the Yvon Lambert Gallery presents a group exhibition titled Decadence. For this occasion five artists — Gardar Eide Einarsson, Douglas Gordon, Loris Gréaud, Francesco Vezzoli and Cerith Wyn Evans — are showing new productions or earlier pieces.

Inscape — Gilles Desrozier
Closing
Ends in 8 days: January 27 → March 1
Gilles Desrozier affirms himself as a veritable poet of the contemporary period. Not by his themes, though they correspond for some to what is communally known as poetry, but by his manner of breaking definitions, which is to say reason. Where sound stumbles because the space is transformed to the point of visual paradox, arises the poetic…
Philippe Ramette
Ends in about 1 month: February 4 → March 31
Philippe Ramette’s work deals with the rationality of the commonplace and feeds off banal experience to expose its potentially uncanny cracks, or to propose extra-ordinary associations to show how precarious the codes that govern our daily lives are. By means of drawing and sculpture, he tackles the questions of what is tangible, or physically plausible.
Closing
Tourne-Toi
Closing
Ends in 3 days: January 27 → February 25

Closing
Ends in 3 days: February 2 → 25
First to question the presence of a qahqa’I carpet on the Freud’s famous sofa , Anne Deguelle weaves together the inventor of psychoanalysis and the pre- sence of this amazing coverage whose grounds are rich of meaning and memory.

New

Galerie Daniel Templon is holding Jim Dine’s 6th exhibition, dedicated to his recent drawings. Originally a foundation for his artistic experiments, his drawings are an exhilarating experience.

New
Starts today: February 23 → April 7
American artist Clay Ketter’s new series of photographs and abstract paintings, shown at Galerie Templon, is drawing on the history of artistic utopias as well as the realities of the craft world.

Hannah Collins — The Fragile Feast
Ends in 25 days: February 7 → March 18
Following a series of conversations with Ferran Adrià — founder of the restaurant elBulli — on the importance of sourcing the perfect ingredients, with the maximum quality, the British artist set out on a journey through Europe, Latin America and Japan to photograph thirty of those carefully chosen ingredients from Adrià’s cuisine.

Jesus Alberto Benitez — Le centre n’est pas un point
Closing
Ends in 10 days: January 14 → March 3
Oblique forms, diagonals, and shadowy triangular zones all surge up here and there. In the photographs, the lines of architecture intensified by lines of shadow increase the depth of the background. The drawing is outlined in the image, while abstract forms coming from the photographs appear in the drawings.

Pourquoi ne pas se prêter au jeu, prendre son élan et sauter à cloche pied à travers la chronologie, les concepts et les mediums, puis, converti à cette gymnastique enfantine, se raconter de nouvelles histoires ? Mais à jouer les funambules, on n’est pas à l’abri de questionnements existentiels.
