Résumé:
According to some recent astrophysical theories, the Universe is largely composed of matter known as black or dark – ‘Dark Matter’ – because it does not react to light. This mysterious matter, invisible, undetectable, and in a way ‘hypothetical’, is the inspiration behind this book and the second solo exhibition of Abdelkader Benchamma (b 1975) at the galerie agnès b.(...)

Résumé:
According to some recent astrophysical theories, the Universe is largely composed of matter known as black or dark – ‘Dark Matter’ – because it does not react to light. This mysterious matter, invisible, undetectable, and in a way ‘hypothetical’, is the inspiration behind this book and the second solo exhibition of Abdelkader Benchamma (b 1975) at the galerie agnès b. This enigmatic name, conjuring both the scientific and the esoteric, directly reflects the artistic research and graphic experimentation which Benchamma reveals in his latest work.

Résumé:
Between 1969 and 1990, the Présence Panchounette collective banzaï-attacked the art world with an onslaught of press releases, flyers, irreverent and butthead deeds. Primarily active in Bordeaux, the group spread its actions on to the international art scene, whose aesthetic hypocrisies and ideological taboos it pinned down with jovial ferocity. The bravado of the Bordeaux-based collective would also anticipate movements born in the Eighties, like Appropriation and Neoconceptual art. Concerned with not smothering its verve in the pernicious Pandora trunk of compromise and mendacity, Présence Panchounette turned its back on honours and remained stone deaf to the attracting songs of institutional sirens, until it announced its disbanding in 1990.

Résumé:
Au cours des années 1930, parallèlement à ses activités d'architecte, de designer, d'urbaniste et de militante, la photographie occupe une place importante dans sa création. L'aventure photographique débute en 1927 et se clôt au Japon en 1940. Se déployant tout au long de la période pionnière, quand se développe la modernité, elle s'éteint sur l'espoir d'un monde meilleur anéanti par la seconde guerre mondiale. La photographie est pour Charlotte Perriand le " laboratoire secret " de ses recherches plastiques et philosophiques : c'est une " machine " à penser. Son oeuvre photographique, qui exprime les principaux thèmes et les interrogations des modernes des années 1930, s'inscrit dans le vaste mouvement des avant-gardes où peintres, architectes et photographes, parfois confondus, travaillent côte à côte dans une communauté d'esprit, où chaque expression s'enrichit du regard de l'autre.
