 “APERTRUTH”, a group invitational exhibition by Chinese Photographer, Western culture has been deeply influenced by the social relation between generality and depth since the time of Plato. Now, we live in a unique moment in history, as the world is united by the models that were born of these ideologies, we are seeing the battle of truth and reality manifesting itself in many ways. Regional problems have expanded to have global consequences.    The easy access to knowledge has made truth debatable. In the year 2020, society is undergoing a complicated trial with how it sees itself. For this group exhibition, we see ourselves peering through the lens of 8 Chinese photographers, A Dou, Yanchu SUN, Xiaoliang HUANG, Yanfang DU, Marc YANG, Wei ZHANG, Bo HE, Lanpo ZHANG, each of them is exploring the forms of truth.  We divided them into 2 groups, to explain and show the different perspectives of being.

  SARAH MOON Past Present 18 Sept 2020 – 10 Jan 2021 The Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris is presenting the exhibition PastPresent, devoted to the work of Sarah Moon. Active in France and abroad since the late 1960s, she is recognised as a great fashion photographer; but she is far from limited to this single field, and the aim of this exhibition is to reveal the singularity of a photographic and cinematic oeuvre fluctuating between reflections and transparency, mirages and obscurity. As an adjunct to her career as a model, in the early sixties she started working as a self-taught photographer. Commissions began to come in and in 1968 her collaboration with Corinne Sarrut on the Cacharel image drew attention on the male-dominated international fashion scene. Her advertising campaigns, posters and magazine work were marked by an immediately recognisable imagination, with the women who peopled her images seemingly suspended in the course of a narrative sprinkled with literary and filmi...

 5 September - 31 October Vernissage Saturday 5 September 17h - 19h Galerie Miranda 21 rue du Château d'Eau, 75010, Paris More information "23 November, II," (2018) Archival pigment print, 30x45 cm, Edition of 10.  "In a quest for a personal vision of masculine beauty, Stevens photographs the bodies of men of different ages with a gaze that is observant, curious, open and sensual yet not sexualized. Stevens is interested in the lines and forms created by the men's poses, finding beauty and humanity in each unique body, irrespective of their proportions. Thus exposed, the men are simultaneously virile and vulnerable; muscled and gracile; confident and shy. With great simplicity and a soft photographic palette that recalls realist painting, Stevens captures their individuality with a contemporary feminist vision that is fundamentally egalitarian."

Now at Foam 1 June - 13 September 2020 This spring Foam presents the colourful works of Vivian Maier in the new exhibition Works in Color. Mostly known for her black and white photography, Vivian Maier is an icon in American street photography. A genre mainly dominated by photographers such as Robert Frank, Joel Meyerowitz and Lee Friedlander. Maier’s observant eye as an unknown outsider and as a woman makes her work a significant addition to the canon of photography. This exhibition at Foam focuses on a lesser-known aspect of her work: over 60 colour photographs from the period between 1956 – 1986. Works in Color shows street scenes in Chicago, - the city where Maier lived for much of her life - featuring people, objects, billboards and shop windows. Her work in colour seems altogether playful and tongue in cheek. ABOUT VIVIAN MAIER Vivian Maier (New York, 1926 – 2009) spent her entire life taking photographs, alongside her work as an au-pair. Her photographic work was n...
