Commissioner of the exhibition: Sonia Floriant
Since its filing in 2003 by its assigns, the collection of Bernard Lamarche-Vadel became an object of study and experience teaching. The museum keeps Niépce new look at this collection through research and its applications and technology museum [Corpus [blv] 1, [blv] 2, [blv] 3 and [blv] 4]. With
[blv] 1, we installed the collection in the heart of the museum by a collector in the first tribute to his collection.
[blv] 2 highlighted the special relationship that the collector had with death through two artists he has brought and who accompanied him to the end, Jean and Jean-Philippe Rault Reverdot.
[blv] 3 was aware of the least known part of this deposit, collection of photographic books (1300 books of photographs). Corpus (2003-2006), reformulated in Arles photography festival for 2010, was an opportunity to repeat this experience and technology museum of digital output from the collection in its entirety, without confiscation and independent of place (1 500 images ).
Finally, [blv] 4 sheds light on the vision of Bernard Lamarche-Vadel its photographic collection, its scope, its link with a history of photography and more generally a history of the arts (literature and art). This is a small set we do a raid again in this collection the few major historical documents, to conduct conversations with the substantial body constituted by the contemporary pieces.
Any collection consists of a single individual over a period of time, reveals his findings. The overrepresentation of an artist by the number of images or the presence of a heterogeneous element does not create discord or variance. In the collection of Bernard Lamarche-Vadel marked by contemporary photographers of the years 1980-1990, old photographs or prior to this period is nothing against the numerically 1500 numbers.
The collector is not specifically motivated this small set. Yet, just like a walking encyclopedia, he has systematically assembled around major historical categories: the American landscape and the portrait (the portrait mortuary); documentary photography, commercial, fashion, experimentation pictorialists; architecture , amateur photography, etc..
Around these few historical works and, not least, Watkins, Abbott, Evans, Stieglitz, Kühn Umbo, Carjat, Man Ray, Nadar, Neurdein, gravity and a broad contemporary ensemble in which we went to make a draw selection "ideal".
Beyond the differences in size, color, frame, framing, no gap between the pieces chosen or if there is one, it is purely chronological. For, by bringing them closer to each other on each chair rail, we have highlighted the possible relationship conversations.
Carleton Watkins and converse with Hamish Fulton and Lewis Baltz; Umbo with Bettina Rheims and Keiichi Tahara; Heinrich Kühn pictorialist with the Paul-Armand Gette and John Coplans, Thomas Ruff with Etienne and Etienne Carjat Neurdein (photographers of the 19th century), Berenice Abbott and Walker Evans with William Klein and Lewis Baltz, Felix Nadar with Florence Chevallier and Sophie Calle. Only
The Steerage Alfred Stieglitz, placed in the proximity of other works, arrives in recess. Rare coin and coin-lighthouse history of photography. But conversation considered perhaps more worthy of that story may take place: Coplans admired Watkins, Kühn worked with Stieglitz, a German photography Ruff is linked to images of the 30s a Umbo, etc..
Mentally, all conversations are possible, the walls can be disrupted and the traditional categories of exposure restored. Each will the conversation he wants. This exhibition
has been given to imaging Lannion from October 16 to November 27, 2010. It is here at the museum Niépce, altered, redesigned, reformulated in terms of specificity and foremost, it is extended, to ensure the continuity of previous exhibitions BLV1, BLV2, BLV3 and Corpus.
