Sure, it’s not rocket science. Yet ***ng, , and have all demonstrated extraordinary ingenuity in embarking on technically ambitious and often mind-boggling projects.

Now open at Jean-Kenta Gauthier / Vaugirard, “Rocket Science” brings together photographs, sculptures, and a large-scale painting from the 1970s to now that often involve explosions, large or small, real or illusory, and that have required considerable inventiveness. Humour, too, although the gag is never an end in itself. “There’s no reason why one shouldn’t laugh”, says Signer.

Now on view for the first time at Jean-Kenta Gauthier / Odéon, “From One Photograph” is the fourth of ’s famed tutorials published in 1986–88 under the ironic title “How to Create Beautiful Pictures”.

On a sunny day in December 1986, Daido Moriyama photographed passers-by on a staircase by Shinjuku station in Tokyo. That night, he printed the image and photographed nine details, creating a unique, resolutely conceptual group of ten photographs. He imagined infinite reproduction could lead to “a particle of photography”, and ultimately “to the other side of the image”.

This exhibition is organized in collaboration with the Daido Moriyama Photo Foundation (Daido Moriyama Official) and is part of the Bicentenary of Photography.

[LAST CHANCE]

“Unidentified Objects 022–026 — Georges Méliès & Jehanne d’Alcy”, on view in ’s current exhibition “Next to Nothing” closing Saturday at Jean-Kenta Gauthier Odéon, establishes a correspondence between the fate of the objects that constitute the sculpture and that of George Méliès & Jehanne d’Alcy, who after their respective careers in the birth of cinema, fell into financial ruin and ran a toy and candy shop in Gare Montparnasse in Paris.

For many years, Dallaporta has been collecting objects in public spaces throughout the world, selecting them for their lack of function and unrecognizable origins. Referring to them as “UO – Unidentified Objects”, he arranges them into constellations of mobiles, pairing each object with its own image—a counterweight that reanimates what had been cast aside.

This is Dallaporta’s seventh solo exhibition at .

“Unidentified Objects 027–030 — Kim Novak”, on view in ’s current exhibition “Next to Nothing” at Jean-Kenta Gauthier / Odéon, establishes a correspondence between the fate of the objects that constitute the sculpture and that of the dual character played by in Alfred Hitchcock’s “Vertigo”, the 1958 film that turned the magnetic American actress into a timeless icon.

In this latest title by JBE & JKG Books centered around Jaar's 1984 seminal project, an indispensable thinker meets an essential artist. Together, they inhabit and reveal a world of images disrupted by this normal pattern that continually causes words to slide beneath things and things to slide beneath words.
