INHALE is a cultural platform where artists are presented, where great projects are given credit and readers find inspiration. Think about Inhale as if it were a map: we can help you discover which are the must-see events all over the world, what is happening now in the artistic and cultural world as well as guide you through the latest designers’ products. Inhale interconnects domains that you are interested in, so that you will know all the events, places, galleries, studios that are a must-see. We have a 360 degree overview on art and culture and a passion to share.
This has been a particularly productive year for Paris Photo, which held its first American fair in 2013 at the Paramount studios in Los Angeles, drawing a crowd of more than 13,500 visitors.
Still surfing the wave of this resounding international success, Paris Photo 2013 will be hosting 136 galleries this year at the Grand Palais (including 28 newly selected participants), and 28 publishers specializing in photography books.
Artists, galleries, collectors, professionals, enthusiasts and inquisitive minds will gather once again this fall to enjoy an ambitious, high-level program that emphasizes the diversity and quality of the artists and works presented by participating gallery owners.
The “Private Collection” exhibit introduces visitors to the pioneering role played by private collectors who, driven by their own passion and perseverance, gather masterpieces and develop new approaches. We are pleased to be hosting a selection of works from Harald Falckenberg’s collection showcasing his perspective on the medium of photography.
The “Recent Acquisitions” exhibit presents the new photography collections from three international institutions. This year, it will feature the Instituto Moreira Salles from Rio, with Brazilian photography that captures transformations in the urban landscape; the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, offering a set of Arnaud Maggs photographs and a series on photography practices; and the Museum Folkwang from Essen, covering photographic representations of historic events, with a focus on the recent crisis in Egypt.
Echoing that theme, the “Open Book” exhibit taken from Martin Parr’s collection will present a set of Protest Photo Books, photography pamphlets covering uprisings from the second half of the 20th century to today.
Finally, Paris Photo is also a friendly forum that promotes discussion and reflection. To recognize the vitality of the photography book sector, the Paris Photo Book Awards will be given once again to winners from a selection of 30 books published over the past 15 years. Meanwhile, Nicolas Bourriaud, Director of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, has invited participants in the “Platform” to give talks, interviews, debates, and performances.
