RENCONTRES D’ARLES : 2014, UNE ANNÉE CHARNIÈRE
Hervé Schiavetti, maire d'Arles, vice-président du Conseil général des Bouches-du-Rhône, vice-président des Rencontres d'Arles.
L’histoire qui lie Arles à la photographie dure depuis 44 ans et durera longtemps encore. Comme toutes les vraies histoires d’amour, ces années ont été riches de découvertes, de bonheurs, d’épreuves aussi. De la chambre noire au smartphone, du mépris à l’Académie, de la rareté du tirage à l’avalanche numérique, les Rencontres d’Arles ont vécu des révolutions esthétiques, technologiques et sociologiques sans perdre leur âme. Arles doit beaucoup aux Rencontres, à leur «père» Lucien Clergue qui fête ses 80 ans et dont l’œu... - Exposition

Exhibition : Shining in Absence, A homage to Frido Troost
Foam presents a short-term exhibition on the publication of the photobook Shining in Absence. It is a special honour to the photography historian Frido Troost (1960 – 2013), who passed away in 2013. Both the book and the exhibition are edited and designed by the advertising specialist and curator Erik Kessels. The book is published by AMC Books (London) and will be presented on Thursday April 2, 2015 during the opening of the exhibition.
‘I wish you many happy returns of this day. July, 18, 1951,’ is written on top of the page in this photo album. But the image to which the caption refers is torn apart, only glue residues are visible. Graceful, careful captions are sometimes accompanied by lines made with a ruler. A plastic folder affected by time and moisture, once used to protect the photograph, no... - Exposition
Erik Kessels : « Album Beauty »
Album Beauty is an ode to the vanishing era of the photo album as told through the collection of Erik Kessels (1966, The Netherlands). Once commonplace in every home, the photo album has been replaced by the digital age where images live online and on hard drives. Photo albums were once a repository for family history, often representing a manufactured family as edited for display. They speak of birth, death, beauty, sexuality, pride, happiness, youth, competition, exploration, complicity and friendship. Album Beauty is an exhibition about the visual anthropology of the photo album.

Cinq étranges albums de famille au BAL
CINQ ÉTRANGES ALBUMS DE FAMILLE.
Cinq artistes pris au jeu d'une exploration ambiguë et risquée de leur histoire familiale.
Cinq récits qui dissèquent les rites à la fois merveilleux et douloureux de l’adolescence, du couple et de la famille.
Cinq équilibres fragiles entre spontanéité et mascarade, non-dits et révélations, étreintes et étranglements.
Cinq terrains connus, innocents, fusionnels pourtant frappés d’étrangeté.
Cinq scènes où se répondent des corps et des lieux dans des échanges sans parole.
Cinq écritures du temps où plane la menace de la perte ou de la métamorphose.
Commissaires : Diane Dufour et Fannie Escoulen

I was here Erik Kessels, Robert Schlotter, Joachim Schmid
I was here questions and presents different approaches to the subject of tourism, from a photographic heritage, which seems to be innocuous, anonymous, forgotten and often of average quality - from the technical point of view.
Tourism and photography have always maintained a close relationship - one is growing parallel to the democratization of the other.
Photography appears to be an indispensable means for tourists to own their subject, to fully possess the experience of a landscape, of a historic or cultural site.
Speaking of all, trips, vacations and tourism, the pictures exhibited here, know different stages of valorization: on one side preserved for their aesthetic value and historic interest, on the other side reconsidered by artists and replicated in another context.
The central part of the exhibition pres...
