Henri Cartier-Bresson once said that ‘to photograph is to put the head, the eye and the heart on the same line of sight’. The ‘Ligne(s) de Mire’ exhibition makes reference both to the history of photography and to the line, which is so essential to artists in all media, both as a starting point for all creation and so often as an obsessive element in the artist's work. Through a selection of exceptional works (photographs, drawings, paintings and sculptures, from the 1970s to the present day) by artists represented or supported by the gallery, the ‘Ligne(s) de Mire’ exhibition takes us on a journey in the footsteps of lines as protean as they are hypnotic.
Artists : Anne-Camille Allueva, Anne Blanchet, Renato D’Agostin, Máté Dobokay, Harold Feinstein, Mireille Fulpius, Vittoria Gerardi, Yannig Hedel, Bernard Joubert, Morvarid K, Denis Malartre, Fernando Marante, Chris McCaw, Thomas Paquet, Jean de Pomereu, Olivier Ratsi, Marco Tagliafico, Bernar Venet, Aleksandra Vajd, Elyn Zimmerman.
