Babak Ghazi — Girlfriend Photos
Past: January 12 → February 16
As well as the casual voyeurism found when surfing the web or flicking through a magazine, Ghazi wants to explore what compels girlfriends to pose and boyfriends to photograph, finding fascination in these images that are often surprisingly poetic with their pre-digital glitches and determined eroticism.

Donelle Woolford — MaLeVoLeNcE
Past: October 26 → December 8, 2012
As images, Woolford’s paintings deepen her commitment to making artworks that “look like” known artists and styles. Woolford’s paintings are stand-ins, facsimiles, stage props. The paintings, rendered in marker, acrylic paint, and ballpoint pen, have all the telltale signs of “process” and “revisions,” evidence of the artist thinking out loud.

Pierre Ardouvin — Brain damage
Past: September 8 → October 20, 2012
The work of Pierre Ardouvin develops like an elliptical scenario of our disillusionment. His poetry, often linked to popular culture, comes from a “disturbed” relationship with language and the world. “There’s someone in my head but it’s not me,” sings Pink Floyd in Brain Damage, an indictment of violence in the news and media.

Glaze
Past: June 8 → July 28, 2012
Glaze presents an orchestrated selection of objects which, when brought together, propose to question the power of context, both implicit and constructed, as a filter for determining and influencing our way of looking. The show is an exploration of the pitching of sentiment via the attributes of surface.

Niels Trannois — Above sea level kind of things
Past: April 26 → June 2, 2012
For his first solo exhibition, Niels Trannois explores the notion of the apparition and diffraction of pictorial images. The spatial staging of the works presents itself as a possible snapshot of a mental landscape immersed in a stream of immediate sensations; the body is “bathed” in the image gradually surfacing above the level of the sea, of reality, of the visible.

David Renggli — Point of You
Past: March 10 → April 21, 2012
As a worthy child of postmodernism, David Renggli plays with contradictions proper to representations of his time, setting up the absurd and the arbitrary as a homogenising principle. A hand pulling a rabbit out of a hat: this might be the formula that sums up the act of creation; reestablishing the arbitrary and the absurd as the roots of the gesture.

Vanille
Past: January 14 → March 3, 2012
Vanille brings together sculptural works by artists Nicolas Deshayes and George Henry Longly that explore frameworks of taste and desire in domestic and public settings. The choice of “vanilla” as the exhibition’s title invokes a tongue-in-cheek sense of “taste” as both aesthetic judgment and a flavor.

Rebound — Anne Neukamp
Past: October 15 → November 12, 2011
Pour sa seconde exposition personnelle à la galerie Chez Valentin, Anne Neukamp propose un ensemble de ses derniers tableaux grand format à l’intérieur desquels l’image persiste à l’état de fragment, travaillant le frottement entre des motifs figuratifs et leur glissement vers une cosmologie abstraite, dépareillée, lacunaire.

Luca Francesconi — De Labore Solis
Past: September 10 → October 8, 2011
For his first exhibition, “De Labore Solis”, at Galerie chez Valentin, Luca Francesconi has decided to present an installation of sculptures and other objects based around the theme of the sun’s movement. Imagined as both a natural element and a metaphysical symbol, the sun refers to the spectrum between all that is infinitely big and infinitely small.

Past: May 7 → June 18, 2011
Présente sur la scène artistique française depuis la fin des années 80, Cécile Bart façonne au fil de ses installations un vocabulaire formel doté d’une forte identité visuelle. Ses œuvres abstraites aux contours géométriques alimentent le regard par de multiples évocations sensorielles.

Eric Baudart — Preview
Past: January 8 → February 19, 2011
Mesurant des échelles et des rapports d’équivalences, l’univers d’Eric Baudart renvoie à une logique en apparence quantifiable mais qui au contact du regard révèle ses écarts, rendant incertaine toute possibilité de déchiffrement. Car la matière qu’il manipule avec obstination se soustrait à tout mimétisme avec le réel.
