SAINT LAURENT RIVE DROITE EXHIBITION ZACHARY HANDLEY
As part of the fanzine platform, Anthony Vaccarello has chosen to give a voice to photographer Zachary Handley and his distinctive eye.
Beneath the smooth surfaces of Zachary's photographs lies a deep affection for all the micro and macro aspects of human existence.
With a background in history and philosophy, he approaches photography as a research tool. His images have a soothing, timeless quality, radiating curiosity and intimacy.
Encounters transform strangers into friends, human connections fuel artistic pursuits. The resulting images are not the sole purpose of Zachary's explorations, but they are one of the fruits.
The exhibition will feature 6 artworks including "Bayonne", "Transylvania", "Mikey Manchester", "Fish springs", "Palais de Tokyo" and "Alex Manchester". Fanzine number 10 will also be available in SLRD stores in Paris and Los Angeles.
SAINT LAURENT RIVE DROITE EXHIBITION & CATALOGUE CHRONORAMA REDUX
In recent years, the Pinault Collection has acquired the entire Conde Nast archive. For its first major artistic use of these archives, Saint Laurent's partner Palazzo Grassi hosts Chronorama, an exhibition curated by Matthieu Humery, which presents over 400 photographic treasures and showcases the fantastic treasure trove these archives represent.
In dialogue and contrast with Chronorama, the Chronorama Redux exhibition opens up new perspectives by inviting four contemporary artists to reimagine the major works of the 20th century exhibited in Chronorama, giving free rein to their vision and interpretation.
Giulia Andreani, Tarrah Krajnak, Eric N. Mack and Daniel Spivakov: four artists, four horizons, four totally different works and perspectives.
This original installation has been dispersed across four areas of Palazzo Grassi, as a series of interludes punctuating the chronological line of the main exhibition.
For Saint Laurent, works by Chronorama Redux artists will be presented in two parts, starting with Daniel Spivakov and Eric N. Mack. Daniel Spivakov introduces photography onto his canvas as a symbolic support for the chromatic explosion he unleashes through painting. And Eric N. Mack borrows images from the pages of magazines and integrates them into his textile sculptures.
Another result of the partnership between Saint Laurent and Palazzo Grassi is the exhibition catalog, co-published by Palazzo Grassi, Marsilio Arte and Saint Laurent.
