Fantasy - What Ever Happened to Your Dreams ? Opening Saturday Novembre 24th at Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire

Opening Saturday Novembre 24th, 2007 from 3pm to 9 pm

The English term "Fantasy", which means both fantasy and the fantastic, serves as a guide to the exhibition What Ever Happened to Your Dreams ?
From November 24 to January 19, at the Galerie les Filles du Calvaire, Paris.

Erotical object and advetising privileged target, the child is often represented in contemporary art including photography and video. Adults (author or spectators of the image) have a tender and terrible glance to his World: sometimes seen as a double or a radical self, a mysterious being sometime hostile and cruel, nevertheless fragile and vulnerable, the child lives in a perfect or fantasy world where adults are projecting their fantasies.

The childlike universe, lures associated with an idyllic, fantastic or nightmarish virtuality, ideally takes shape in a fairy tale aesthetic. It is often referred to as a kind of lost Eden where fears and dangers, monsters and evil are hiding behind a prettiness display. It is that phantasmagoria that can be found in popular images.
In the latter, contemporary artists are allusively contributing while building on psychoanalysis and the contribution both cultural and technical of the photographic and film medium. If the works refer frequently and ambivalentely to the joys and anxieties related to the impulses of childhood - a time when dream / nightmare and reality are blending - affirmed staging, apparent or exaggerated digital manipulation are emerging as forms of symbolic resistance to the projections of desires and fears from adults and the roles they wish these childish figures will play.

The title of the exhibition at Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire: "What ever happened to your dreams?" is a direct reference to the 1960's Henry Farrell book adapted for the movies by Robert Aldrich in 1962, "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" It introduces the concepts of fantasy and duality between romance and terror, between purity and evil, embodied in the film by an aging Bette Davis locked in her child's wishes and lust for eternal youth, struggling with the perversity of Joan Crawford. This exhibition will put the emphasis on pieces illustrating the loss and the overwhelming desire for adults to preserve their dreams.

Georg Baselitz "REMIX" Opening Saturday, November 17 at the Gallerie Catherine Putman

Opening / Vernissage Saturday, November 17, 2007

The gallery Catherine Putnam, Baselitz french editor since 1997, shows the latest prints of the artist as well as some recent gouaches and ink in the series of "Remix". Since 2005, Baselitz Actually resumes, in his painting and in his printmaking, compositions from the 60's and 70's. He redraws them, sometimes even questionning the inversion of figures (started in 1969), illustrating a genuine dialogue with his early work.

He strikes at the copper plate, wood or linoleum (more appropriate surface for monumental prints) with as much violence and control as found in his painting and his sculpture. Indeed, the style of Georg Baselitz was confirmed over the years in finding an accuracy and a fantastic energy in its strokes. George Baselitz masters the colors he manipulates with lightness and harmony, all in a sense of freshness.


A major feature of this "engraver-painter" is to represent his subjects head upside down. Indeed, for him this technique gave him the freedom to confront pictorial problems.

For the Paris month of photography, Getty Images will be at colette with the "La vraie nature de la ville" exhibition, exclusively focusing on environment.

Exhibition "Getty Images : Environnement" from 5th november to 1st december 2007.

Lewis Blackwell, artistic director for Getty Images, oriented his selection:
"We usually think capitals & big cities are at the exact opposite of nature, that they are human and artificial constructions. Nevertheless, those urban places, through their architecture & styles, have shapes & attributes close to a natural environment."


Thanks to an approach through close or panoramic pieces, La vraie nature de la ville makes every visitor wonder about his urban environment thanks to a new perspective.
Simone Mazer, CEO of Getty Images France says : "We are very happy about
showing at colette, real trend-tester and setter. It is a great opportunity for us to show our proficiency in creation and in giving value to photographers we
support".

The Hotel was planned by L/B and built by a team of craftspeople in Burgdorf. Following it was transported to Yverdon where it was located on the lake of Neuchatel for 4 moth. After the end of Expo.02 the mobile pavilion was brought to Burgdorf and was placed on the factory roof at L/B's studio.

Russian Mafia TattooSergueï Vassiliev PhotographsOpening Vernissage Monday, November 5th from 5.00pm

Sergueï Vassiliev photographs reveals the russian criminals world throughout tatoos made in prisons.

Russian criminal tattoos have a complex system of symbols which can be 'read' to give quite detailed information about the wearer. Not only do the symbols carry meaning but the area of the body on which they are placed may be meaningful too. The initiation tattoo of a new gang member is usually placed on the chest and may incorporate a rose. A rose on the chest is also used within the Russian Mafia. Wearing false or unearned tattoos is punishable by death in the criminal underworld.

Tattoos done in a Russian prison have a distinct blueish color and usually appear somewhat blurred because of the lack of instruments to draw fine lines. The ink is often created from burning the heel of a shoe and mixing the soot with urine.

Tattoos on the forehead are usually forcibly applied, and designed both to humiliate the bearer and warn others about him or her. They frequently consist of slurs about the bearer's ethnicity, sexual orientation, or perceived collusion with the prison authorities. They can indicate that the bearer is a member of a political group considered offensive by other prisoners (e.g. Vlasovite), or has been convicted of a crime (such as child rape) which is disapproved of by other criminals.

Tattoos that consist of political or anti-authoritarian statements are known as 'grins'. They are often tattooed on the stomach of a vor v zakone, as a means of acquiring status in the criminal community. A Russian criminologist, Yuri Dubyagin, has claimed that, during the Soviet era, there existed 'secret orders' that an anti-government tattoo must be 'destroyed surgically', and that this procedure was usually fatal. Consequently, such tattoos were also sometimes applied forcibly to the back of a violator of the 'thieves' code', as punishment.

Photos presented were shot by Sergueï Vassiliev, one of the most famous russian photographer , between 1989 and 1992 in camps and prisons from 5 russian regions for the making of the Danzig Baldaev book who dedicated his all life to criminals tatoos with a unique collection of more than 3600 tatoo drawings. Baldaev realized a ture ethnolog masterwork while employee in the russian penitentiary system.

For more than 20 years, the Gao Brothers - Gao Zhen & Gao Qiang ) team up to form a brilliant artistic couple which work is attempting to describe all over mutating China's paradoxes. Born in Jinan, in the province of Shandong, located in the north of China, both of them studied Art and together, they produce for the international an ensemble of virtuoso multimedia including video, photography, theatre, performance, painting and sculpture not to mention numerous critical essays and their mentoring of other artist's exhibitions.
True leaders, and despite repeated censorship from their fellow authorities, their are the over conscious observers of all transformations and turmoil happening in their country.

The Gao brothers stay away from any judgement or form of cynism. They watch mankind like scientist stare at viruses through a microscope. They reproduce human behaviours with a touch of choregraphy.

Valerio Adami "Jusqu’ici" Vernissage on Saturday October 27th, 2007 from Noon till 08:00pm

Exhibition: Saturday October 27th to December 29th, 2007

Valerio Adami, the "Frenchier" Italian painter is coming back at the Daniel Templon gallerie with a new serie of painting made between 2006 and 2007. Entitled "Jusqu'ici" (up to here), the exhibition offer a filling past of themes dear to Valerio Adami's heart for the last 50 years: litterature, travel, relationship between poetry, music and painting.

After being absent for nearly 10 years, Valerio Adami did a spectacular come back with his 2004 first exhibition @ the Templon gallerie. we rediscovered his famous solid colors and his thick dark outlines reminding us the clear line of comic strips.

In this new exhibition, drawing still plays a fundamental role. For Adami, the outline, and notably the closed shapes, are tighly connected to language and words. Numerous literary references are appearing between the lines: Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Claudel… Like poems of an intimate atmosphere, the paintings develop memories of childhoods, theatre stages, vision of orient and hotel's rooms. Despite the richness of colours, the tone of the exhibition is somehow more introspective and gloom seems to haunt the painting's characters.
