Paul Frèches is presenting a group exhibition questioning the idea of form, specifically, the final form as a decisive element of a work in the context of the exhibition and the physical interaction with the public. The exhibition brings together photographs, photographic installations and sculptures. This is the chance to rediscover the still lifes of Jan Groover, to whom Paul Frèches will devote a solo exhibition beginning in March 2013. Here, the final form is classical and perfected, the platinum prints have a sensual materiality, the reproductions play with scale and composition to create unlimited possibilities.

Antoine Petitprez presents a visual and aesthetic work, which allows for a shift between subject and representation, depriving an element of its third dimension to be presented in volume: the print. Maxime Thiefine develops “a style where matter, objects, language and images fit together like news updates broadcast throughout the exhibition space.” Here again, the idea of object and image interacts more than it conflicts, until it merges into its final proposition. Xiang Li-Qing completes the exhibition with his pyramidal sculptures standing like the tomb of a bygone genre, evoking the tensions between the changing world and memory.
