5 november 2008 - 25 january 2009 McDermott and McGough have become well known for their unique way of blending art and daily life. Their photography involves appropriating images and objects from the late 19th century, and they project an image of themselves as gentlemen. Like their lifestyle, their photographs and paintings betoken a refusal to embrace the historical present. This obsession with the past is reflected in the subjects and styles they choose to bring back to life. Their work is a contemporary artistic performance. The retrospective brings together all the photographic works produced by David McDermott and Peter McGough over the past twenty years.

5 november 2008 - 25 january 2009 Sabine Weiss has been photographing people with the same unflaggingly tender curiosity for the past 45 years. A member of the Rapho agency since 1953, she has become associated with a line of so-called 'humanist' photographers who played a key role in the history of the 1950s and 60s. She has produced many fashion pieces and portraits of celebrities and artists for Vogue magazine, and in addition to her commissioned work she has always made pictures 'for herself'. She has gradually turned almost exclusively to black and white reportage, a medium that expresses the relationship between Man and his world more 'calmly and simply' and which captures the 'plenitude of light' that has been her obsession.

5 november 2008 - 25 january 2009 Born in 1926 in Izmir, Göksin Sipahioglu's vocation as a journalist goes back to his childhood, when at the age of 12 he carried out an investigation of underground passages in Istanbul. His interest in analysing events and projecting himself into the future in order to imagine their consequences led him to found a political journal to which he contributed and of which he was to become the director. An eminent photographer, he was the first to enter communist Albania; the first to stay in Cuba during the Missile Crisis; and the first to become a travelling reporter for Hürriyet, the largest Turkish daily newspaper. In Paris, he covered the events of May 1968 and decided to found the Sipa agency with Phyllis Springer. This exhibition reveals his sense of composition, his empathy with Mankind and his skill in choosing subjects that have made History, remaining constantly alert.

5 november 2008 - 25 january 2009 Part of the European Month of Photography, this exhibition offers a selection of videos made by European artists. A growing number of artists are using video, and this is changing the specific criteria that define both crafts. Apart from the diversity of their aesthetic standpoints and of the visual techniques they use, the artists presented here encourage us to step beyond territorial considerations and to explore the boundaries that separate them. Peter Aerschmann, Gast Bouschet & Nadine Hilbert, Christoph Brech, Olga Chernysheva, Ori Gersht, Tuomo Rainio (winner of the Alcatel-Lucent Prize for the European Month of Photography) and Jutta Strohmaier.

17 october - 16 november 2008 For several years Marie-Paule Nègre has been producing candid photographic portraits of artists in their studios for the Gazette de l'Hôtel Drouot. The portraits, published regularly, are accompanied by interviews with Claudine Boni. These texts and images were presented in an exhibition and a catalogue. On the initiative of the Hôtel Drouot, it was decided to repeat the experience and present a second exhibition and catalogue. A living archive of contemporary art, this set of pictures and interviews constitutes a vibrant tribute to those who create the art of our time. Reaching beyond their works, Marie-Paule Nègre gives us the artists' faces, holding up a photographic mirror that makes the instant eternal.
