Photography meetings
Les Rencontres d’Arles 2023dossierSmall favorite selection among the festival’s zakouskis.
On the occasion of the Rencontres de la photographie d’Arles, which takes place from July 3 to September 24, 2023, Liberation gives pride of place to photography. Find this special issue “Libé des photographes” on newsstands on July 8 and 9 or on the reader.
Jean-Louis Garnell, right to scrap
Disgusted by his own admission by the debauchery of resources surrounding the Bourse de Commerce, the artist Jean-Louis Garnell, a photographer at the base (he exhibited in Marseille, as part of the Rencontres, in 2019), chose paths of crosses to give his own interpretation of a ready-made revisited with tact, humor and poetry, from waste or scrap gleaned here and there. At home, an empty egg carton suggests a skull, while a latex household glove holds a rod. The exhibition is called 0 Euro. But it is worth much more. GR
0 Euro, Departmental Museum of Ancient Arles, until September 17.
“Fisheye”, ten years of decryption
Ten years of existence, in the history of the press, it is not fifty, but it is to be celebrated. Happy birthday, then, to Fisheye, both a pioneering magazine – with 60 issues to date as so many echoes of the “diversity of contemporary writing” – and a gallery, which this summer is presenting three very different artists in Arles, including Christopher Barraja. A young photographer from Nice who, at the same time, is releasing a book, the very colorful and sunny De chlorine et de rosé (Fisheye Editions), in which he observes his fellow photographers with an insidiously disturbing or caustic acuity. GR
Christopher Barraja, Fisheye Gallery, 19 rue Jouvène, Arles, free admission, until September 24.
“We drink the sun”, delicacy at the zenith
Attention, the place is secret, the visits are made on request (contact@galeriesultana.com) but the sesame is worth the candle. The Arles apartment with sugar-coated pink woodwork hides a delicate group exhibition. In the corners, the Polaroid self-portraits of the painter and designer Dorothy Iannone, artist of free love and autonomous female sexuality. Elsewhere, hugs, needles, adolescent bodies, some in transition: the young Myla, in 1973, nephew of the photographer Donna Gottschalk – known for having documented the lesbian and trans communities in the 70s in the United States – is a frail boy with bushy hair. In 2007, it’s a blonde panther… In this pretty place, an artist’s residence in winter, an exhibition space in summer, there is love, surprises and ecstasy. CM
We drink the sun, Jesse Darling, Donna Gottschalk, Dorothy Iannone, Nanténé Traoré. Sultana Summer Set, Arles (with the Air de Paris and Marcelle Alix galleries) Until September 9th.
