PHOTO MARSEILLE
The festival Photo Marseille is the first event entirely dedicated to contemporary photography in Marseille. Since its creation in 2011, the festival's main themes have been the discovery of young talents with the Maison Blanche Prize in particular, and the highlighting of recognized photographers of the contemporary scene (Martin Parr, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Robert Frank, Stephen Shore ) with a local orientation since 2015 (Franck Pourcel, André Merian, Geoffroy Mathieu, Monique Deregibus). The event is thus the link between the history of photography and its current practices through exhibitions and educational actions to the public (media visits, workshops, conferences).
The tenth edition of the PHOTO MARSEILLE festival will take place in autumn.

Les Photographiques
Resulting from a first initiative in 1978, the Festival of the image, first name of what will become Les Photographiques and name of the association of volunteers organizing the event, was born in 1982 and remains, by its long history, the 'one of the first annual festivals to defend photography in France. A time open to the image more generally, the event has continued to evolve over the decades, welcoming several generations of authors, crossing the various currents of contemporary photography, and thereby creating a transversal collection for over thirty years. Became Les Photographiques in 2006, the event remains open to the diversity of media and trends in photography today, while retaining what makes its soul, allowing everyone, and especially young people, to sharpen their gaze and to learn to read the images, to initiate meetings between authors and audiences, while discovering the national and international photographic scene. Offering a series of collective and personal exhibitions on Le Mans Métropole and beyond, the event presents each year a guest photographer and several photographers selected via a call for authors. For the past four years, it has also been accompanied by an Associate Program, a sort of OFF that radiates across the city and the department.

Polka Gallery
Established in 2007 by Adélie de Ipanema and her brother, Edouard Genestar, Polka Galerie is located in the heart of the Marais district in Paris. The gallery represents over thirty photographers. Each year, within its 300 sq. meters divided into two spaces, the gallery organizes ten exhibitions, which question the different forms of the Document within modern and contemporary pratices.
Since its creation, the gallery has, amongst others, financed the production of the following works: “Ali + Klein” (the first twenty-five “painted contacts” from the series “Ali, 1964-1974”) and “Brooklyn + Klein”, two recent works by William KLEIN; “In Advance of a Broken Arm” and “Photographs in 3 Acts” by Ethan LEVITAS; “Nightmare Republic part 1 & 2” by Stanley GREENE; “Africa-America” by Philippe GUIONIE. In collaboration with the Daido Moriyama Foundation, the gallery has also produced “Labyrinth + Monochome”, an installation shown at the Rencontres d’Arles in 2013 of Daido MORIYAMA’s work.
The gallery has also introduced or re-introduced the works of the following artists: Alexander GRONSKY with “The Edge” (Foam Paul Huf Award, 2010) “Mountains & Waters” and “Pastoral”; Yves MARCHAND et Romain MEFFRE with “Theaters” and “Gunkanjima”; as well as the richness of the work of Daido MORIYAMA with the “Daido Moriyama Cycle”, three consecutive exhibitions which took place from September 2012 to February 2013.
Beyond exhibiting seminal pieces, the gallery organizes unique performances such as the “Silkscreen Workshop” – a variation on Moriyama’s famous “printing shows” — and “Brooklyn + Klein Lab” a singular happening on May 24th, 2014. The public will take part in the live production of exhibitions prints under the supervision of William Klein himself.
The gallery works closely with several institutions, such as the Musée Nicéphore Niépce regarding the valorization of Stanley GREENE’s archives and the Louis Vuitton Foundation for whom Yves MARCHAND and Romain MEFFRE are documenting the construction of the new building located in the Bois-de-Boulogne designed by Frank Gehry and set to open its doors in October.
In 2012, the gallery initiated a photographic publication program with Daido MORIYAMA’s “Paris 88/89” (Poursuite publ., 2012); Toshio SHIBATA’s “Contacts” (Poursuite publ., 2013). Three additional titles are set to come out in 2014: Philippe GUIONIE’s “Swimming in the Black Sea” (Filigranes publ.), William KLEIN’s “Brooklyn + Klein” (Contrasto publ.) and Ethan LEVITAS’ “In Advance of a Broken Arm” (work in progress).
Polka Galerie has been a member of the “Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art” since March 2012 and of the “Association des Galeries d’Art” since September 2011.
Polka also produces the quarterly “Polka Magazine”, created by Alain Genestar, which explores with an open mind the vitality of contemporary and modern photography. With a print run of 50.000 copies, the magazine is distributed across France and in all the major international cities.

Centre Wallonie-Bruxelles
Director : Stéphanie Pécourt
From peripheral to consecrated
Far from constituting a mausoleum that would contribute to the canonization of the heritage heritage of French-speaking Belgian culture, the Center is a benchmark catalyst for so-called Belgian contemporary creation - a space of junctions and intersections.
Through a resolutely disanctuarial and transdisciplinary program, the Center is mandated to disseminate and promote the signatures of artists based in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, with a view to optimizing their irradiation in France. It thus ensures the promotion of emerging or confirmed talents, from the peripheral to the consecrated. It helps to stimulate international co-productions and partnerships and to crystallize attention in favor of the so-called Belgian scene.
The Center unveils, by season, artistic approaches which attest to the irreducibility to a common denominator of porous territories of contemporary creation.
Located in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, opposite the Center Pompidou, its program covers more than 1000m2.
Deterritorialized island, it also implements programming outside the Walls in synergy with French institutions, operators and events.
The Center is a decentralized service of Wallonia-Brussels International (WBI): an instrument of international policy led by Wallonia, the Wallonia-Brussels Federation and the French Community Commission of the Brussels-Capital Region.

Itinéraires des photographes voyageurs
Since 1991, the association " Itinéraires des photographes voyageurs " (animated by the founder Nathalie Lamire Fabre and by Vincent Bengold) proposes every April in Bordeaux- free for the public & between seven to fifteen photographic exhibitions in the main cultural places of the city.
To participate, a photography genre of the author and a theme about travelling are given more privilege. Apart from that, no limit. The selection of exhibitions is done by the team's favorites.
Each year, the program is composed of singular exhibitions: from classical humanist photography to a more "contemporary" photography, the association " Itinéraires des photographes voyageurs " is animated by a will of eclecticism.
"Recognized" photographers agree to join us for an exhibition: Cartier-Bresson, Max Pam, Jean Dieuzaide, Bernard Plossu, Raymond Depardon ...
But the association also wants to support artists less known to the general public, especially young artists from Aquitaine like Sarah Caron, Christophe Goussard, Garat Polo, Jacques Sierpinski, Philippe Pons or Stéphane Klein ...
One criterion, the singularity of looks.
Fidelity is also highlighted by the association, the one with our partners (The City Council of Bordeaux, the Goethe Institute, the Cervantes Institute, the Swiss Consulate, the municipal library and the museums of Bordeaux, the Mercure Hotel Bordeaux Château Chartrons, Fip ..) and also with photographers and professionals of photography (the association image people ...) who support us for several years.
Since 2000, " Itinéraires des photographes voyageurs " has been associated with the company Pixels and Grains d'Argent which proposes to the public all tools of communication, a website presenting the wholesome exposure is more than 6000 photographs in line.

Le Bec en l'air
Created in 1999, Le Bec en l'air is an independent publisher based in Marseille. Most of the time, our publications have one thing in common: the dialogue between image and text, between photography and narrative, through a studied layout and author photographs.
Over the years, the catalogue has been enriched with a variety of photographic writings that have nevertheless found editorial coherence: photography as a tool for questioning the contemporary world, whether it is a question of documentary, aesthetic or intimist concerns. Renowned or emerging photographers meet here, without excluding style or artistic sensitivity.
The catalogue, composed of more than 170 titles, has been distributed in France and Belgium by Harmonia Mundi Livre since 2007; in Switzerland by Zoé and in French-speaking Canada by Dimédia.
They refuse the label of "regionalist publisher" but they see themselves as an independent publisher, open to the world. This is reflected in several co-publications with foreign publishers (Algeria, Germany, Spain, Italy, Mali, United Kingdom...) and their participation in numerous book fairs in France and abroad. Le Bec en l'air is a member of the "Éditeurs du Sud" association, which brings together about fifteen independent publishers from the PACA region in France and a member of the Photobook Social Club, which brings together French independent photo book publishers.

Vannes Photo Festival
As part of its shift to the biennial rhythm, Patric Clanet's artistic project aims to do things differently by building on existing heritage. Its main objectives are to strengthen the Festival's anchoring in the region while accentuating its regional and national influence.
The theme "Photo and the sea" is no longer its figurehead but will be approached in a more inclusive manner. No photographic style will be privileged and its program will remain open to all forms of creation and exhibition of contemporary photography. The identity of Vannes Photos Festival will be affirmed around four axes that will interact and grow over time.
The choice of one of the central themes will be determined by a "citizens' committee" linked to the territory and open to major societal issues; approach inspired by the "New Sponsors" protocol in line with the implementation of cultural rights. From this theme, a dialogue will begin and I will offer exhibitions by French artist photographers who, to their
way, will bring their enlightenment. In this context, the historic partnership with associations and clubs of Vannes photographers will continue and grow. A collective of young Breton photographers will be invited and a national competition will be launched around this citizen theme.
In view of its maritime openness to the Atlantic, Vannes Photos Festival will focus on the photographic creation of a South American country. In 2022 Peru will be the guest of honor. This exploration will be done from three angles. Heritage photography; by presenting the works of an author who has marked the history of photography in this country. Contemporary creation; by exhibiting an artist representative of the national scene. The emerging generation; through an evening / screening which will present a panorama.
The "RHIZOME" theme will take place for the three
years to come within the Kiosk space and will question
the links between humans and other species not
human. The visual artists who will be invited to us
will help to see differently by preparing our eyes
to meet the living in order to question ourselves on
what dynamic connaturality means today
between humans and their environment.
A space for meetings and dialogue dedicated to photographic criticism will be set up in 2022 because “learning to see is within everyone's reach”. Four French photography critics will be invited to dialogue with the artists present in a place open to the general public in the form of "Cafés des images". Friendliness and interaction with the public will be at the center of this educational project.
The various existing mediation and facilitation systems will be maintained and developed. Partnerships with other regional festivals and photographic centers will be strengthened. The participation and involvement of a greater number of people as well as the development of a friendly and warm atmosphere during and around the Festival are at the heart of the project.

La Villa Pérochon
La Villa Pérochon, a center for contemporary photographic art, is located in Niort and is recognized as being of national interest by the Ministry of Culture.
The emblematic event that is the Meetings of Young International Photography actively participates in its recognition at the national but also international level. All audiences are affected by its programming: 4 to 5 exhibitions per year and many cultural and training actions during the year for schoolchildren but also for all audiences. The Meetings of Young International Photography bring together every year, for around twenty days in creation residency, eight international artists emerging around a renowned artist or personality like the most recent Denis Dailleux, Françoise Huguier, Klavdij Sluban, Olivier Culmann, Isabel Muñoz, Corinne Mercadier and this year HJ Enström… Neither workshop nor masterclass this unique formula is a real carte blanche, a place for experimentation, confrontation and artistic research.
The recognition by professional artistic circles, amateurs and contemporary art networks of this event, in addition to the quality of the reception offered, is due to the spirit and the values ??prevailing during this event: the artistic requirement, freedom, sharing, respect and discovery. Today, more than ever, these values ??must be promoted for the emergence of the young artistic scene.

The Anonymous Project
In 2017 when filmmaker Lee Shulman bought a random box of vintage slides he fell completely in love with the people and stories he discovered in these unique windows in to our past lives.
Collecting and preserving unique colour slides from the last 70 years, the project was born out of a desire to preserve this collective memory and give a second life to the people often forgotten in these timeless moments captured in stunning Kodachrome colour.
From the period of the early 1950s, when prices for color photography had dropped to where it became accessible to non-professionals, to the rise of digital cameras, color photography soon developed into the dominant medium to capture daily life. Not just weddings and graduations, or friends posing for friends, or families gathering for portraits, but everything.
The magic of color photography is that when the chemicals on the film are exposed to light, color is created. The problem is that these chemicals degrade over time, eventually leaving no trace of the image. Most color slides will not survive beyond 50 years. Unless urgent action is taken, this colorful piece of our collective memory, artifacts of daily life from the 40's up through the digital age, will fade out of existence altogether.
These amateur photographs are a kaleidoscopic diary of that era, all the more fascinating and arresting because of their unpolished quality. Often funny, surprising and touching these images tell the stories of all our lives.
The Anonymous Project has in turn become an artistic endeavour that seeks to give meaning to these once forgotten memories and create new ways of interpretation and story telling that question our place in the world today.

Usimages
Organized by the Agglomeration Creil Sud Oise under the artistic direction of Diaphane, a photographic center in Picardy, this event makes it possible to question the memory of companies and to highlight the work of men, through a route of outdoor exhibitions.
Can we represent the work? Do we keep traces of those moments spent at work in our personal albums? Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, companies have built through photography an ideology to magnify technical progress and social ascent as the only personal fulfillment. Did they constitute a memory for this?
The modernization of the production tool and automation have made the figure of the worker disappear from companies. The disappearance of the worker from the field of photography is metaphorical of the economic concept which wants immediate profitability through a reduction in production and labor costs. Easy-to-substitute men with no identity.
More representation of work, more workers, for increased profit.
Photographers therefore have a responsibility in the production of images and in the ideology that they accept or not to serve. Putting the exhibitions of this biennial into perspective will raise questions and make us think about the role of images in the establishment of a media ideology.

Festival Photo du Guilvinec - L'homme et la mer
If there is a territory whose maritime dimension is one of the primary characteristics, it is undoubtedly the Pays de Cornouaille in Brittany. Since its 1st edition in 2011 at Guilvinec, the Festival Photo l'Homme et la Mer has wanted to pay homage to this maritimity, at the same time as it wishes to illustrate the strong links that unite, in many places on the planet, the man, the sea and its coastline.
A mixture of genres, the nourishing sea, the sea as a recreational, playful, dreamlike space, a mixture of eras, black and white or color versions, the exhibitions bringing together more and more photos, testify to their own artistic approaches. : thus reports with sometimes very contrasting colors rub shoulders with more evanescent atmospheres, the sepia imprint of old photos shares the stage with contemporary reports, comic strips respond to plastic works in color.
The festival is thus essentially eclectic, in order to be identified as a place open to all, artists and audiences. The programming, if it must include risk-taking in the choice of works exhibited, must not confuse the local population and visitors.
The other objective of the association is to want a festival outside the walls and to bring art out of the conventional space of the museum and the interpersonal space traditionally linked to it. The exhibitions are available to everyone free of charge and go to the front of the public, first of all the local population and visitors by taking the streets, the facades of the houses, the buildings of the fishing port as support.
Moreover, the democratic nature of the photographic medium makes it possible to meet the most diverse populations and sociologically and culturally distant from any artistic proposal.

"The Comédie-Française carries within it this utopia which consists of reading the present by the yardstick of the past, its missions being too vast and the curiosity of its craftsmen too insatiable to be reduced to one direction rather than another. Le ferment commun, its Troupe and with it all the departments work tirelessly to lead you along these bushy paths. Éric Ruf

Pyropet
The idea of PyroPet came to designer Thorunn Arnadottir while studying at the Royal College of Art in London in 2011. The idea came to Thorunn when she was thinking about the way people use candles: "One day as I watched the chubby body of a jolly Santa Claus shaped candle slowly melt, deform and perish into a sad pool of wax, I wondered if I could elevate this common place ritual sacrifice into a true theatre of the macabre in wax."
She came up with the idea of embedding a metal skeleton within a cat shaped candle. A sinister form, lurking, biding it's time, waiting to be revealed. After exhibiting the cat candles (called “The Devil’s Pet” back then) in Milan and at her graduation show in London, they quickly gained a lot of attention on the internet. She joined forces with Dan Koval and they launched a Kickstarter campaign to finance their little startup. The campaign was a great success, in only 4 days they had reached their funding goal and at the end of the campaign they had reached 250% of their initial goal. Thorunn and Dan founded PyroPet Candle Company and are now selling the candles in shops and galleries all around the world.

This initiative aims at protecting the heritage existing for the future generations, but also to revisit him, to emphasize him patiently, and so to renew ceaselessly the desire, the pleasure, the curiosity, the rise which we win to frequent these exceptional heritage.
In each of these establishments conjugates at the same time the big History and that of its territory. We take up with the encyclopedic knowlege there which is originally even of the notion of museum, but also the unique testimonies of the genius of the great masters as that of the anonymous craftsmen.
So many places to get fresh ideas, to stimulate the imagination and the creativity, to understand the evolution of companies and go back to the sources of the big debates of the contemporary world.
Because these treasures of the Metropolis Rouen Normandy, collected and protected through centuries, have a universal value, the access to the permanent collections is from now on free, for all, all year long.
In it is added a rich programming of exhibitions temporary as that visible until September 26th, 2016 to the Museum of the Fine art of Rouen : scenes from impressionist life. It is around these "scenes" of life and the intimacy that Wipplay and the museum it are associated to throw a big competition photo this summer.

Les Rencontres d'Arles
Founded in 1969, Les Rencontres d’Arles is the world’s first internationally renowned photography festival.
Around 20 heritage sites in Arles host nearly 40 exhibitions every year throughout the summer.
During opening week, the Ancient Theatre serves as a venue for evening slideshows. Various photography trends are compared and contrasted at panel discussions, lectures and portfolio reviews.
Teaching activities in schools and courses by famous photographers also take place year round.
A cultural incubator featuring a wide array of events and exhibitions, the festival combines short and long time. It is an annual survey of photography in a festive spirit.
Every year, it reveals trends, breaks new ground, decrypts images, generates meaning and manufactures content. A centre of experimentation and crosscutting research, the festival is a place where artists and visitors can ponder the state of the world.
It is also a setting where photography is reinvented through hybridisation, contamination, comparison, friction, and contact at the crossroads of disciplines and trends. Interaction and interdisciplinary dialogue recall how very alive and well it is.
Photography’s ability to address not just artistic but also social, cultural, historical and other issues still surprises us. And the well-named Rencontres de la Photographie echoes and promotes historical as well as contemporary artistic practices.

Cash Essentials
Banknotes and coins are a collective good integral to society and its proper functioning, the evolution of cash, therefore, should be shaped collectively; that is, in the joint long-term interest of individuals, businesses, regulators, non-state actors and society. In our view, the future of money is not just a technology issue. It is fundamentally a socio-economic issue: the future of the monetary system should be efficient; fair; inclusive; resilient; sustainable; respectful of individual privacy and include a vision for human betterment. A part of that solution is cash. In a rapidly digitising society, we believe in the imperative of keeping cash up-to-date and open to change, as it possesses a set of unique attributes. Cash is non-discriminatory and can be used by everyone; protects individual privacy; is a crisis safe-haven — cash does not crash — and is a friend of the poor and unbanked.

Louison Editions Paris
In Russia, a writer, it is a fate. A Writer is by definition a dissident. Tolstoy was excommunicated, Dostoïevski sentenced to death and pardoned just after the beating of the drum, Gogol was buried alive, Soljenitsyne, Pasternak, Boulgakov, they are legions, these devils of the beautiful letters.
The thaw, which allows from time to time to publish officially these dissidents, never lasts in Russia. You should not be a prophet to guess that the door closes again.
Created in 2015 in Paris, Louison Editions is a publishing house dedicated to the modern and independent Russian literature.
Its mission is to publish free authors, high-quality disruptive works literary, which each translate a vision of the world.
Very soon, some people will become the spokesmen of big imperial Russia, others will be asked to leave the territory, others else will be ravenous and will write masterpieces which we shall read only after their death. To be a writer in Russia, it is to sell the soul or to die on the stake of its books.
