Jeremy Kost ist bekannt für seine Partyschnappschüsse, welcher er im wilden Nachtleben von New York fotografiert. Er zeigt die exzentrischsten und auffallendsten Personen, die sich im New Yorker Nachleben bewegen und verführt mit seinen Bildern in eine Welt, die der Realität ferner nicht sein könnte. Er erzählt geheime Geschichten und hält Szenen fest, an welche sich die meisten am nächsten Tag nicht mehr erinnern können.

Die Menschen in seinen Bildern verwandeln sich in den Partynächten in völlig andere Personen, präsentieren sich glamourös, wild, sexy und doch irgendwie verletzlich. Ob bekannte Stars, Dragqueens, Gays, Studenten oder der Nachbar von nebenan – Jeremy Kost hatte sie schon alle vor der Linse. Speziell daran ist, dass Jeremy Kost meist mit einer Polaroid Kamera arbeitet, was den Bilder eine verruchte und doch verträumte Wirkung verleiht.

Unter dem Titel “In The Dark We Live And Love”  präsentiert der Fotograf nun seine neuste Sammlung vom 12. November bis 7. Januar in der Galerie Nuke in Paris. Eine Ausstellung, die man nicht verpassen sollte!

Its been cruising the net for months now: the simple, humorous and absolute great visualization of cliches and contradictions between two of the most amazing worldwide cities of Paris and New York.

Having started with a blog, creator Vahram Muratyan has received such a great feedback that he now translated his works into a book which will be launched through ‘10-18 editions‘ in France on November 3rd. At the same time, the famous concept store colette is running the exhibition, featuring limited edition & signed copies, which will run until September 24th.

Make sure to check out more pics of the exhibition here and keep on enjoying his works directly at his Paris vs. New York website.

JR’s large scale portraits of local heroes, known as the INSIDEOUT initiative, is going miniature by placing an interactive installation at the George Pompidou Museum in Paris. Following the basic principle of capturing a portrait and placing them on a mural, visitors can copy the idea and print out their own images on site. A great idea which will be running until September 5th- make sure to pass by if you are in the area!

Almost three years after his last Paris solo show, the Brooklyn based artist Eric Elms has returned to the city of luv, presenting his exhibition “No Way Out!”.

Running until June 4th at Galerie Lazarew, the collection of text light-boxes, sculptural designs and print works is surely a current highlight must-see of the city.

Die Künstlerin Michal Rovner aus Israel, bringt Archäologie und Politik ins Zeitalter der Videokunst. Nun stellt die Multimedia-Künstlerin das erste mal im Pariser Espace culturel Louis Vitton ihre Arbeiten aus. Vom 19. Mai – 25. August kann man dort ihre Werke betrachten.

Die Ausstellung dokumentiert, wie Michal Rovner, zusammen mit Israelischen und Palästinensischen Arbeitern ein monumentales Steingebäude aufbaut. Die Steine, welche zum Bau verwendet wurden, stammen alle aus zerstörten Häusern in Jerusalem, Haifa, Galilee, Hebron, Nablus, Bethlehem, etc. Es enstand ein strukturiertes, einfaches Quadratisches Gebilde mit einem vertikalen, langen Spalt, dass dem Betrachter einen Einblick in das Innere des Gebilde gewährt. Das Werk mit dem Titel “Makom” (hebräisch für “Raum”) wurde von Personen verschiedener Glaubensrichtung und Einstellung gebaut und vereint so die beiden zerstrittenen Länder auf seine ganz eigene Weise. Mit ihren politisch engagierten, sehr feinen Arbeit, hebt Michal Rovner die Grenzen zwischen Epochen und Kulturen auf.

Following the album release of Moby’s highly anticipated work entitled “Destroyed” later on this month, the creative is also simultaneously releasing a same called book, which will contain surrealistic pictures of deserted landscapes and urban look-outs that the artist took during his travels around the world.

As a highlight, he will display a series of these pictures at our all-time-favorite colette in Paris, from May 2nd until June 24th. And as an ultra-highlight: Moby will be book signing before his life performance in store on May 23rd at 6PM.

Miss Van will probably be on the top of our female artist list forever. She now has returned to her home country, after three years of absence in France, to present her latest exhibition entitled “Twinkles” at the Magda Danysz Gallery in Paris.

Showing her trademark collections of pin-up inspired women, Twinkles has a rather melancholic feel compared to her well-known poppy mixes of bright and warm colors. This time around, she gives her attention to dark and almost shadowy bodies, celebrating the felinity of women.

Die französische Konzept-Künstlerin Claire Fontaine ist für  ihre meist großformatigen Werke bekannt, die oft an die Arbeiten anderer Künstler erinnern. Dennoch ist es nicht so, dass sie deren Stil kopieren würde, sie nutzt vielmehr dessen Wirkung zur Untermauerung der Aussagen ihrer eigenen Werke und verleiht ihnen so den passenden Kontext-Rahmen. Dazu kommt der große Auswand und die Detailgenauigkeit, wie etwa ihr Werk ‘Consumption’, das bei näherer Betrachtung aus unzähligen, aufrecht angebrachten Streichhölzern besteht.

Claire Fontaines Werke werden vom 11. Februar bis zum 19.März in der Ausstellung ‘No Family Life’ in der Pariser Air de Paris Galerie ausgestellt.

CLAIRE FONTAINE “NO FAMILY LIFE” EXHIBITION

11.02.2011 – 19.03.2011

Hedi Slimane will open his first exhibition in Brussels to date, “Fragments America” on February 25th at the Almine Rech Gallery, with whom he has collaborated for more than eight years.

The basic subject of the exhibition lays on following American youth, an archive he has built up over the past years. Trademark to his realistic, natural, documentary-like, black & white photographic masterpieces, he will show us his personal vision of what he believes is dominating the American aesthetics.

Another peak of the exhibition is the invitation of participating artists Gus Van Sant and Oscar Tuazon, presenting film and sculptures respectively. Pretty much simulatenously to his Brussels opening, the Almine Rech Gallery in Paris will open ‘California Dreamin – Myths and Legends of Los Angeles’, curated by Hedi Slimane from February 26th till March 26th.
