Geographic Treasures of the Society of Geography
at the Bibliothèque nationale de France

Abu Simbel, African horse riders, Japanese SamouraÎ, impressive trees ... Discover at the BnF's Gallery of Photography, photographs from the famous Society of Geography. A testimony to the state of the world and its upheavals in the 19th century, but also the passion for inventory embedded in scholars geographers of the 19th century. A unique collection to see again and again.

The Society of Geography was founded in 1821 in Paris by 217 personalities that made up the scholarly elite of the time. Its establishment and its ambitions are in keeping with a vast enterprise of knowledge and discovery in the world.
The booming of photography, contemporary to the exploration great movement of the second half of the 19th century, makes it possible to refresh the imagination of the Western world for the unknown. Lonely travelers, scientific expeditions, religious, civil or military missions brought back the first images from regions and peoples hitherto ignored to Westerners.

The photographic collections of the Society of Geography, exceptional by their originality, their diversity and remarkable consistency, are a unic source for the history of travels and discoveries in the 19th century and in the first half of the 20thcentury. Spontaneously gathered and then, from 1881, collected and combined into a single fund under the leadership of the librarian James Jackson, these photographs come from foreign and french members but also outside correspondents of the Society: soldiers, diplomats, engineers, explorers and travelers it sponsored.

Steichen, a photographic epic
Until December 31st at the "Jeu de Paume" museum

This exhibition is the first retrospective in Europe of the work of Edward Steichen organized from 450 vintage photographs and various documents.

Curious and inventive mind, Edward Steichen (1879-1973) was one of the most prolific and influential photographers in the history of photography in the twentieth century. This Luxembourg borned American original co-founded with Alfred Stieglitz in 1902 the Photo Secession group, and actively participates in the magazine Camera Work. He is both a painter and photographer. As a photographer, he produced portraits, landscapes, still lifes, nudes, he exercises his talents in fashion photography, dance, theater, flowers, in advertising, as well as a war photographer and aerial photography.It seems no genre could escapes his innovative eye. Graphic design, typography, art direction also provide a fertile ground for his creativity.

Condé Nast, seduced by his pictorialist photographs gave him in 1923 the artistic direction for Vogue and Vanity Fair.
It will also be curator of photography at MoMA. He organized there the Famous "The Family of Man" exhibition, running from 1955, and seen by about ten million visitors from around the world. This will be the crowning achievement of his career.


This exhibition is organized by the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography (Minneapolis) and the Musée de l'Elysee (Lausanne), in partnership with the Jeu de Paume.
It is presented with the support of Neuflize Vie, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Manufacture, and in partnership with The Village Voice, Vogue, and Arte FIP

The Seine is the core symbolic anchor of the event; in accordance with the "popular" nature of the event, Photoquai proposes, along with exhibitions scheduled within partner institutions, street exhibitions, free of charge to the general public, on the docks the Seine along the Quai Branly museum. These exhibitions are the heart of Photoquai, and make the link between the different institutions.

Ruby’s Room (1998-2007)Ruby's Room (1998-2007)
October 30, 2007-January 13, 2008

Commissioner: Yves Le Fur, Deputy Director and Heritage Collections at the Quai Branly Museum.

This series of very large images testify of the original glaze that the artist focuses on childhood, through an exploration of "what children do with their mouths". Respected figure of photography in New Zealand, Anne Noble talks about his work as an "alternative" archeology. Dedicated to the artist's daughter, Ruby, the series of forty photographs has been unveiled to the public in New Zealand, Australia, Germany and Spain. Thanks to a scale voluntarily disproportionate to the apparent banality of the subject, the use of contrasting colors and that direct flash, the artist seeks to emphasize in an unusual manner details of a body part, the mouth, in its many functions symbolic food, speech, language, and so on.

Camera obscura, the first daguerreotype portraits (1841-1851)
October 30, 2007-January 13, 2008

Commissioner Christine Barthe, head of photographic collections of the Quai Branly Museum.

The museum maibtain among its collections of old photographs a set of particularly outstanding daguerreotypes, some of which were shown at the "D’un regard l’Autre" exhibition. Moved to the West Gallery next to "Ruby's Room", another photographic exhibition consisting of large colorful prints, The Daguerréotypes plays on contrast of formats, colors, and technology - proposing a fugitive image through perceived reflection. This exhibition will present more particularly daguerreotypes made in East Africa by Charles Guillain, frigate captain, between 1846 and 1848.

Robert Adams, On the Edge
at The Fondation Cartier to January 27, 2008

Robert Adams’ first solo exhibition in France is presented at the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain.


Conceived entirely by him and inspired by his current concerns, this show provides a rare opportunity to discover an artist known for his devotion to the western American landscape. Entitled On the Edge, it showcases approximately one hundred and fifty photographs that reflect both devastating and hopeful visions of the environment from three separate but related series: West from the Columbia (1990-1992), Time Passes (1990-1992), and Turning Back (1999-2003). A look back at his distinguished career via the remarkable publications that have accompanied his photographs since 1970 invites visitors to delve into his lesserknown passion for books as an equally important artistic medium.

Helen Levitt at the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation
Street Set until December 23rd, 2007

Until December 23rd, the HCB Foundation will be showing a rare collection of black & white and colour images made by the great American photographer Helen Levitt in New York and Mexico between the 1930's and 1980's.
Helen Levitt is one of the great living poets of urban life. Best known for her images of life on the streets of New York in the 1930's and 1940's, her photographs reveal the gentle and subtle expressions and gestures of adults engaged in conversation and children at play in mysterious and inventive ways.

Helen Levitt started her carreer as a photographer in the '30 in New York, the city she loves more than anything else. But she always choosed carefully her playground: Brooklyn, Harlem, Lower East Side, where social misery strikes. Her glaze isn't accusatory. she stares without bias, sensitive to a rampant urban poetry but beyond everything to people crawling everywhere, bringing streets to life et moreover children playing games still innocent. The set is up for ever. Helen levitt won't change it, faithfull to herself et to the society she's depicting tenderly.


Levitt grew up in Brooklyn, New York. Dropping out of school, she taught herself photography while working for a commercial photographer. While teaching some classes in art to children in 1937, Levitt became intrigued with the transitory chalk drawings that were part of the New York children's street culture of the time. She purchased a Leica camera and began to photograph these works as well as the children who made them. The resulting photographs appeared, to great acclaim, in 1987 as In The Street: chalk drawings and messages, New York City 1938–1948. Named as one of the "100 best photo-books", first-editions are now highly collectable.


She studied with Walker Evans 1938 and 1939. In 1943 Edward Steichen at the Museum of Modern Art curated her first solo exhibition, after which she began to find press work as a documentary photographer. In the late 1940s she briefly became a film director, working with James Agee, with whom she shot the short art film In the Street. In 1959 and 1960, she received two Guggenheim Foundation grants to take colour photographs on the streets of New York but much of this work was stolen in a burglary. The remaining photos, and others taken in the following years, can be seen in the book Slide Show: The Color Photographs of Helen Levitt (May 2005). Her first major book was A Way of Seeing (1965). In 1976 she was a Photography Fellow of the National Endowment for the Arts.

She has remained active as a photographer for nearly 70 years and still lives in New York City. The New York's "visual poet laureate" is notoriously private and publicity shy.

This very same urban environment is the setting to a walking dream by Benjamin Josset, who makes associations in his series "Rencontre" (Encounters). Emilie Juillet as for her, set up an inventory of emotion trigged by her environment. She collect faces, details, moments which become as many "Human Nature(s)".

Albert Watson - Glamour a gogo
Until November 9th at Acte2photo

Johnny, The indian stripper at the olympics gardens, Las Vegas, April 2001


Albert Watson, is altogether Hitchcock struggling a goose, a naked Kate Moss, a smokin' Keith Richard, the queen of England and Marylin Manson... the all lot spiced with a good dose of Michael Moore with a Dada flavour!

Albert Watson has made his mark as one 01 the world's most successlul fashion and commercial photographers du ring the last four decades, while creating his own art along the way. Over the years, his striking images have appeared on more than 250 covers of Vogue around the world and have been featured in countless other publications, from Rolling Stone to Time to Vibe many 0f the photographs iconic portraits of rock stars, rappers, actors and other celebrities. [Albert was the officiaL Royal Photographer for Prince Andrew's wedding to Sarah Ferguson!



Albert also has created the photography for hundreds of successfuL advertising campaigns for major corporations, such as the Gap, Levïs, Revlon and Chanel, and he has directed more than 600 TV commercials. All the while, Albert has spent much of his time working on personaL projects, creating stunning images from his travels, from Marrakech to Las Vegas to the Orkneys. Much of this work, along with his well-known portraits and fashion photographs, has been featured in museum and gallery shows around the world. The photo industry bible, Photo District News, named Albert one of the 20 most influentiaL photographers 0f all time.


Born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, Albert studied graphic design at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee, and film and television at the Royal ColLege of Art in London.
Albert was introduced to an art director at Max Factor, who offered him his first session, from which the company bought two shots. Albert"s distinctive style eventually caught the attention of American and European fashion magazines such as Mademoiselle, GQ and Harper's Bazaar, and he began commuting between Los Angeles and New York. ln 1976, ALbert landed his fi rst job for Vogue, and his move to New York in the same year shilted his career into high gear.
Despite the enormous stress from all of his commissioned assignments, Albert devotes much of his time to extensive personaL projects, and he has published two books, "Cyclops" (19941 and "Maroc" (1998], and he is working on a third, "Shot in Vegas,"' due out in 2007. ln addition, many catalogs of Albert's photographs have been published in conjunction with museum and gaLlery shows around the world.
Albert has always been a workaholic. The archives at his studio in Manhattan's West Village are filled with millions 0f images and negatives, on which world-famous magazines and companies can be read. His huge studio, also used as a personal gallery, is filled with extraordinariLy large-format photographs taken in Las Vegas. At first glance these Landscapes, interiors and portraits take the viewer by surprise with their soft, filtered range of colors. But even in his new creations, Albert stays true to himseLf. The photographs create an aura that takes the viewer into the image but simuLtaneously ask for some sort of a distance.
Without a doubt, Albert Watson is an artist who greatly enriches our perception with his unique photographie view. This single-minded commitment to perfection has made Albert one of the world's most sought-after photographers.
