David LaChapelle Retrospective

Now through May 31st, 2024

Renowned surrealist / photographer David LaChapelle is having his first ever retrospective in France at La Monnaie de Paris, showing more than 200 photos including his clichés of Hollywood's glitz and glam, portraits of celebrities, and depictions of American culture.

The exhibition is displayed by theme from "Deluge" to "After Pop" to his latest series entitled "Auguries of Innocence" (in reference to William Blake) - the latter applying industrial methods of fabrication to create an altogether 3D appearance.

Diane Arbus: A Printed Retrospective (1960-1971)

December 8th 2024 to February 8th, 2024

This retrospective of the works by Diane Arbus (1923–1971), featured by Pierre Leguillon, is the first organized in France since an exhibition at Centre Pompidou in 1980. It brings together a collection of the New York photographer’s images commissioned by the Anglo-American press in the 1960s.

The exhibition presents the original pages, from the magazines in which the images were published, including Harper’s Bazaar, Esquire, Nova and The Sunday Times Magazine.

A selection from a collection of more than 150 photographs shows the great variety of subjects Arbus dealt with: photo journalism, anonymous and celebrity portraits (Norman Mailer, Jorge Luis Borges, Lilian and Dorothy Gish, Marcello Mastroianni, Mrs. Martin Luther King...), children’s fashion and several “photographic essays”— the images are captioned or commented on by the photographer herself. The choice of presenting the original magazines in the exhibition emphasizes the formal layout choices, and displays the photographs within the original social or political context of that time.

The Art of Lee Miller at Jeu de Paume

October 21, 2024 through January 9, 2024

From model, to surrealist muse, to Man Ray's partner and assistant, to photographer, this retrospective organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum presents the multi-faceted and extraodinary works of Lee Miller.

The prints on display represent the most beautiful and arresting of Miller's career - illustrating both the witty surrealist quality she is known for, but also a darker side captured by images taken as a combat photojournalist.

In addition to 130 prints, the exhibition includes magazines, three drawings, a painting and an excerpt from Jean Cocteau's film Blood of a Poet.

L'inauguration du CENT QUATRE

The 104, or Cent Quatre, is one of Paris' major cultural projects promoting art and creativity. Located in the 19th arrondissement, this new establishment will offer residencies, exhibitions, and festivals as well as a restaurant and several shops.

Their grand opening will be taking place this Saturday, October 11th, 2024.

For the occasion, this new dynamic arts center will introduce a full day of artwork coming from all angles: architecture and visual art with Berger & Berger's "Une île paradisiaque est un spectacle artificiel," landscape design by Atelier Le Balto, video installations by Alain Bernardini and Melik Ohanian... and more.

The night will continue on with trip-hop, pop décalée, and electro DJs Tricky, Epplay/Takahashi, and FNNNN.

Don't miss out on the fun - all of Paris will be there, or at least the cool people.
