You know the old story of the chameleon. Put him on green, he turns green. Put him on black, he turns black. But if you put him on plaid he explodes.-Jean Seberg
DOUBLE FEATURE is a series of composite 'stills' collages from individual frames grabbed from Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless (1959) and Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers (1965). In these constructed images Jean... |

| NOLI ME TANGERE
Boogie, Joey Haley, Bili Bidjocka, Eric Pougeau, Chen Chieh-Jen, Martial Raysse, Elodie Lesourd, Lionel Scoccimaro
When is it not (or almost not) a question of religion. If “noli me tangere” is one of the greatest classical subjects of western painting, detachment or the conception of distance is today imaginable between art and it’s religious origin, not meaning that the... |

| Francesco Vezzoli | À chacun sa vérité
To mark the exhibition devoted to Federico Fellini, Vezzoli has decided to present two new works which address the paradoxical status of illusion and fiction in our perception of reality, together with some of the themes that haunt Fellini’s work: his fascination with celebrities, the shifts in desire and imaginative slants occasioned by the hegemony of the mass media, and the... |

| Werner Reiterer | Life in a Solution of Death
The everyday objects look innocuous enough, but then suddenly the work is engulfed in the artist's distanced, metaphysical laughter, and that of the viewer, who has been caught out and had his assumptions challenged. And yet this is laughter that takes art seriously and assigns it a function: Werner Reiterer's aim is to 'study the different mechanisms that determine our perception of... |

| Boris Achour | Conatus: la rose est sans pourquoi
Boris Achour's work constitutes an open, combinatorial system, one that is in perpetual evolution based on the affirmation of form, the joy procured from creating, and the necessity of making connections. It mixes heterogeneous elements without hierarchy from highly varied cultural and formal fields. Since 2006, Achour's work has been shaped by Spinoza's concept of 'conatus', namely,... |

| Bili Bidjocka at Galerie Olivier Robert, Paris
'J'ai l'impression qu'il y a une histoire d'amour entre la fille de salle et le grand noir qui fait le ménage'
The sensitive dimension.
Bili Bidjocka is a painter. Painting is his favourite area of expression. But painting is not a simple technique. It should not reflect as a painting hung on a wall or as a range of colours, but much more as a language of words, a form of... |

| Duane HANSON | Illusions Perdues
"People, workers, the elderly, all these people I see with sympathy and affection. These are the people who have fought the battle of life and who now and then show the hard work and the frustration... It’s all about human activity, it’s truth, and we all get there."

| Erich Salomon: The King of the Indiscreet, 1928–1938
Erich Salomon (born 1886), whose career and tragic destiny are intimately bound up with the political and media history of the interwar period, was certainly one of the first reporters to enter the hitherto impenetrable world of power and to reveal the private lives of celebrities to the general public. His work thus marked the beginning of a new era in photojournalism. He was the... |
