Versaille photographed 1850-2010, a photo exhibition at the Château de Versailles until 25th April 2010
What a great idea, using the château de Versailles for interesting exhibitions, like the recent ones by Jeff Koons and Karl Lagerfeld. Currently, they are hosting a new photo exhibition: 150 shots taken over 160 years, all inspired by the château and its multiple photo ops. You can even enter a contest with your own photo and win a special day’s shooting around the place! Here’s all the info…

In praise of the negative, an exhibition at the Petit Palais from 18th February – 2nd May 2010
Used in the 19th century by professional photographers, amateurs and artists, paper negatives allowed the burgeoning art of photography to integrate itself fully with the world of art. Starting from 1840, paper negatives became a new and fascinating tool, annoucing « the era of reproduction » whilst creating a new visaul universe. The exhibition explores this exciting time in the history of photography, mostly undocumented until now.

Robert Doisneau and the passages of Paris, an exhibition at the Monnaie de Paris from 12th December 2009 – 15th January 2010
Art and Culture, Paris architecture, Photography
Photographer Robert Doisneau loved Paris’ covered passages, saying « Have you ever been seen the covered passages in December? There’s a light there that is different from that of the city, a sound that is completely different. You can hear the sound of footsteps on the mosaics. The people seem a little different too, different form those who live in the harsh light… »…

The enigmatic family photos
of the Hôtel Design Sorbonne
Our favourite things, Photography
Why are all these family photos displayed in the 5th floor corridors of the Hôtel Design Sorbonne, and who are all these people that we can see laughing, posing for the camera, swimming, getting married…? If you read the text woven into the carpet in the corridor (and understand French), all will be revealed. Here are a few extracts…
