Yasmina Benabderrahmane is the winner of the LE BAL AWARD FOR YOUNG CREATION WITH THE ADAGP 2019. The purpose of this prize is to accompany for two years the realisation of a creative project that falls within the broad spectrum of the image-documentary, fixed and moving, questioning our human experience. La Bête, A modern Tale by Yasmina Benabderrahmane will be installed at LE BAL from January 15th to April 12th, 2020. A book co-published by MACK and LE BAL accompanies the exhibition.

Les infamies

photographiques de Sigmar Polke

13 Sep – 22 Dec 2019
Le Bal presents a unique ensemble of photographs by Sigmar Polke dating from the 170s, an eblematic period featuring the artist's first jubilant experiments (double exposure, floutage, solarisation, Superposition...) They reveal Polke as an alchemist of photographic material, poet of almost nothing, free from the rules of the medium and fierce chronicler of his time.

Barbara Probst

THE MOMENT IN SPACE

THE MOMENT IN SPACE

9 May – 25 Aug 2019
Using a radio-controlled release system, Barbara Probst triggers simultaneous shots of the same event, gesture or action from different distances and angles. This moment multiplied into several views constitutes an Exposure, a constellation of perspectives that induces multifaceted, sometimes contradictory readings of the image.

Barbara Probst is not interested so much in what is represented as in the way it is represented. Using gestures, faces and objects that are as neutral as possible, she … more

SCENE

22 Feb – 28 Apr 2019
EUROPE, ASIA, BRAZIL, CONGO. FOR EIGHT YEARS, ACROSS CONTINENTS AND COUNTRIES, ALEX MAJOLI HAS PHOTOGRAPHED EVENTS AND NON-EVENTS.

Political demonstrations, humanitarian emergencies and quiet moments of daily life. What holds all these disparate images together, at first glance at least, is the quality of light and the sense of human theatre. A sense that we are all actors attempting, failing and resisting the playing of parts that history and circumstance demand; and a sense that we are all in… more

Enghelab street, a revolution through books, Iran 1979-198

10 Jan – 11 Feb 2019
For Perfoming Books #2 and on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Iranian revolution, LE BAL will present the original collection of photographic and political books by Iranian artist Hannah Darabi.

Gathering works published between 1979 and 1983, years corresponding to the short period when freedom of speech prevailed at the end of the Shah’s regime and the beginning of the Islamic government, Hannah Darabi takes us to the heart of an intense artistic and cultural period specific… more

Dialogues with Solitudes

Dialogues with Solitudes

14 Sep – 23 Dec 2018
"A Dialogue with Solitude is a self-portrait, the result of a quest for anonymous figures in whom I recognize myself."
- Dave Heath

Dave Heath occupies a unique place in the history of American photography. Influenced by W. Eugene Smith and the photographers of the Chicago School, including Aaron Siskind and Harry Callahan, he cannot, however, be considered as either a documentary or an experimental photographer. His photography is above all a way of bearing witness to his presence in the worl… more

IN BETWEEN / EN SUSPENS

9 Feb – 13 May 2018




"…WHAT IS LOST IS THE IN-BETWEEN WHICH SHOULD HAVE FORMED BETWEEN THIS INDIVIDUAL AND HIS FELLOW MEN." HANNAH ARENDT

This exhibition is a poetic, abstract, fragil attempt to translate something of our times. Something indefinable, intangible but that might be recognised as the condition of one person, of several or of all: being in a state of suspension.

Neither a transition towards a possible future, nor an intermediate step, this condition relates to an inability to move… more

Braguino or the impossible community

15 Sep – 23 Dec 2017

Clément Cogitore visited Braguino twice (in 2012 and 2016), "Braguine’s place" in Russian, taken from the name of a family of 'Old Believers' living in a handful of huts lost in the middle of the Taiga deep in the heart of Siberia, 700 km from the nearest village. He went to Braguino to try to solve the mystery of Sasha’s drive to move to there with his family over thirty years ago, in the hope of living in peace, and constructing a completely self-suffici… more

AGAIN AND AGAIN

AGAIN AND AGAIN

6 Jan – 16 Apr 2017


What if Stéphane Duroy’s work was an exile? After forty years of obsessive wandering in the footsteps of old Europe as far as the United States, Stéphane Duroy today seems pushed by a wind of renewal, towards a photographic praxis taken ever further from itself.

"L’Europe du silence", a ground-breaking work embarked upon by the photographer in the 1980s, comes across as an attempt to set out to encounter great History. Constructed in a long-term movement, t… more

14 Sep – 11 Dec 2016


LE BAL presents the first exhibition dedicated to the famous Japanese magazine, which greatly influenced the history of photography through
its major figures: Nakahira Takuma, Moriyama Daidō, Takanashi Yutaka. Both a manifesto and a collective work, Provoke assigned a new role to photography as a reaction to violent social and political turmoil and echoed the emerging Performance art scene.

LE BAL is presenting a monographic exhibition devoted to Dutch artist, poet and photographer Gerard P. Fieret (1924-2009), the first to take place outside Holland. His output included some of the strangest and most subversive works produced in Europe in the 1960s and 197… more

A HANDFUL OF DUST

Histoires de poussière

16 Oct 2015 – 17 Jan 2016
THIS EXHIBITION IS A SPECULATIVE HISTORY OF THE LAST CENTURY, TAKING DUST AS ITS MOTIF.

Dust - unwanted, inevitable, destructive – is the great suppressed substance of the modern age. The world of order and hygiene attempts to banish dust yet it will always return.

The exhibition takes as its starting point two significant events that happened in Europe in October 1922. In the Parisian journal Littérature, Man Ray published his photograph of dust gathering on the surface of Marcel… more

"In Tunisia, 5 km away from Libya’s frontier, Choucha camp became a transit area for several hundred thousand Sub-Saharan refugees escaping Libyan civil war.

First exhibition at LE BAL without artwork or artist, Images of conviction examines the way experts, researchers and historians produce images as evidence in instances of crimes or acts of violence suffered by individuals or groups.

Each of these eleven case studies spanning the period from the invention of ‘metric’ photography of crime scenes in the nineteenth century to the reconstruction of a drone attack in Pakistan in 2012, offers an ‘archaeological’ analysis of… more

LE BAL is delighted to present the first large exhibition in France of works by Mark Lewis.

Mark Lewis (born 1958) is a Canadian filmmaker, whose work creates a dialogue between film, photography and painting. His short, silent sequence-shots, like the early films of the Lumière brothers, operate by extracting a fragment of reality in a unity of time, space and action. Anything which arises as the images unfold is a product of that random moment of life. Lewis favours the chance emergenc… more

THE THOUSAND AND ONE LIVES OF KOURTNEY ROY

Within the gaze of Kourtney Roy lurks an icy humour in which the ordinary and the grotesque are mixed equally, so that it is always unclear which of the two leads the dance. This dance is troubling, for it draws us into a universe that, while above all narcissistic, at the same time leans towards anonymity.

Born in 1981 to a lumberjack father and a secretary mother, Kourtney Roy grew up in the grandeur and solitude of the snowy immensities of Cana… more

Ponte City has been the symbol of prosperity under apartheid and white supremacy, of the collapse of the city center in the 1990s, and finally of the multi-ethnic renewal in this new century: it has witnessed the throes of a never-ending changing society.
