HANGAR & ART BRUSSELS • CONFERENCE
HANGAR PHOTO ART CENTER
FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 2024 (10:30 AM - 12 PM)
"Why the Unique Work in Photography?". This conversation will address the question of the non-reproducibility of photography from two angles. Firstly, from the perspective of creation: three artists will share their creative process and explain how and why they go beyond mere photographic printing. Secondly, from the perspective of the art market: the idea of the unique work allows the photographic medium to firmly establish itself in contemporary art collections.
A meeting co-organized by Galerie Bigaignon and Hangar, as part of the VIP program of Art Brussels.
With Thierry Bigaignon, director of Galerie Bigaignon, Delphine Dumont, director of Hangar, and the photographers: Sylvie Bonnot, Morvarid K, Antoine De Winter.
Reservation required/limited number of seats available.

THE WORK OF DREAMS • AURÈCE VETTIER
BIGAIGNON
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2024
The Bigaignon gallery hosted, for one night only, the exhibition "The Work of Dreams" by the artist aurèce vettier, part of the Bright Moments Paris AI Collection project. This exhibition brought together a series of oil paintings derived from images generated by a bespoke text-to-image AI, trained on the artist's archival photos, and used to reinterpret his dreams.
Aurèce Vettier is an artistic project founded in 2019 by Paul Mouginot (born in 1990). This alias, formed using an algorithm, is a metaphor for the desire for a collaborative, open, and hybrid approach.
OFF-SITE EXHIBITION • the forms of time
TOPOGRAPHIE DE L’ART
3RD APRIL - 4TH APRIL 2024 (TUESDAY TO SATURDAY 2PM - 7PM)
Time has fascinated mankind for eternity. While it constitutes an intimate and familiar reality, experienced even in the flesh, time is also a source of anxiety: it eludes us and reminds us of our own finitude. Saint Augustine perfectly articulated this paradoxical and elusive nature of time in his famous quote: "What, then, is time? If no one asks me, I know; if I wish to explain to him who asks, I do not know." The exhibition "The Forms of Time," rather than providing answers, explores the enigmatic nature of time by bringing together twelve artists whose experimental and poetic approaches give it shape, considering its complexity and its numerous variations: measured time, suspended time, reversed time, captured time, cosmic time, historical time... In the era of accelerated time, the exhibition aims to defy speed and invites the visitor to slow down to prioritize the time of observation, reflection, and reverie. (Domitille d'Orgeval)
Galerie Bigaignon presents works by artists Vittoria Gerardi and Thomas Paquet.

THE (BOOK)STORE • CURATED BY HÉLOÏSE CONÉSA
BIGAIGNON
FROM OCTOBER 11TH 2023
We're delighted to announce that Héloïse Conésa, in charge of contemporary photography at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, has been chosen to be the next curator the gallery's Curated (Book)Store. A launch party to celebrate her selection will take place on Wednesday, October 11, 2023 at the gallery, a great opportunity to meet the curator!
Héloïse Conésa wanted "this selection of books to revolve around the notion of matter, as it can be expressed in photography, whether as a silver gelatin print or a digital print, an object or an installation. Proposing a dialogue with the works presented in the exhibition "Epreuves de la matière" at the Bibliothèque nationale de France (opening the day before at the BnF), this selection is both food for thought when it brings together works by image theorists and critics, matter to look at when it brings together works featured in exhibition catalogs that, in France and abroad, have revisited the material evolution of the medium, and matter to feel when it proposes an incursion into books by artist-photographers who are particularly attentive to transcribing the sensations enabled by their authors' materialist research".
Many publishing jewels will delight book lovers! Discover now the selection.
Launch party : Wednesday October 11th, 2023, 6-9pm

MARAIS DIGITART • EXhibition “RESERVE”
Exhibition in “La Réserve” at Bigaignon’s gallery (Paris)
SEPTEMBER 13-23RD
As part of the Marais DigitArt program, Galerie Bigaignon is delighted to showcase a curated collection of digital artworks by Lionel Bayol-Thémines, Thomas Paquet, and Olivier Ratsi in its public-access storeroom. These captivating pieces have been specially curated for this event.
What can we discern about the innate connection between photography and technology? As the medium continually evolves alongside technological advancements, it becomes intriguing to explore the historical trajectory of images and their creative processes. It is equally fascinating to present photographic works that deviate from the conventional path of technological progress. This is precisely the objective of Lionel Bayol-Thémines' monumental creation, which provides us with a single-pixel view of Earth and its Moon.
Thomas Paquet's luminescent sculpture boldly embraces emerging technologies, converting a photographic exploration of the fundamental facets of light, space, and time into a digital masterpiece. A version of this artwork is also available in NFT format on the Danae.io platform.
Olivier Ratsi, a worthy inheritor of the Light & Space movement, skillfully punctuates the exhibition space and engages in a harmonious dialogue with the other two featured works. Between tangible and fictitious anamorphosis, amidst real reflections and imaginary shadows, our gaze is artfully disoriented.
Acoustic showcase • EPSILON
BIGAIGNON

OFF-SITE EXHIBITION • Harold Feinstein “WONDER WHEEL”
THE MOUGINS CENTER OF PHOTOGRAPHY
43 Rue de l'Église, 06250 Mougins, France
1 July - 8 October, 2023
Open 11am-7pm. Closed Tuesday.
We are delighted to announce the opening, on July 1, of the retrospective exhibition dedicated to the work of Harold Feinstein at the Mougins Center of Photography (France), an exhibition which is part of the Rencontres d'Arles program as part of the Grand Arles Express.
Harold Feinstein cannot be reduced to a series. Born 1931 in Coney Island, a “land without shadows”, his favorite place to take pictures and the perfect illustration of how he viewed American society, the only thing he ever wanted to be was a photographer.
At 17 he joined the Photo League, a group of politically committed artists, and became a member of Sid Grossman’s circle. As the child of working-class Jewish immigrants, he empathized with the “little people” of New York and those left behind by prosperity. Joining the left-leaning Photo League was risky in postwar America, but Feinstein saw no other possibility for his photography than to be as close as possible to the senses and the living. For 60 years, he regularly went back to his roots, seamlessly combining biography and community. But there was more to Feinstein than Coney Island. During the Korean War his photography was revealed in its many teachings and especially in its commitment to all minorities. The exhibition brings together the original prints loaned by the Harold Feinstein Photography Trust.
An exhibition curated by François Cheval and Yasmine Chemali.
LIGHT NOTES • RENATO D'AGOSTIN
BIGAIGNON
TUESDAY, JUNE 27TH, 2023 (6-9PM)
By registration only
The gallery cordially invites you to a private event celebrating the launch of Renato D'Agostin's Light Notes, a series of collectors unique bloc-notes born in the darkroom! This very special product launch will be accompanied by a darkroom performance of Renato D'Agostin at the gallery!
Renato D’Agostin’s meticulous darkroom printing requires a large amount of testing in order to achieve the high quality of tonalities and volumes that have become his signature through years of life immersed into the red light. Normally these test prints are shredded and thrown away.
Light Notes is a project that allows the imperfection to be valued becoming a useful tool, bringing his darkroom experience to light, shaped as a journal the audience can use writing notes, drowning sketches, like a personal journal through the light of the darkroom. Like in a block note, lines are printed on the white back of these test prints, and every Light Notesbecomes a unique series of fragments of light from a print that is now living a new life, straight from Renato D’Agostin’s Venetian darkroom.

OFF-SITE EXHIBITION • Morvarid K.
CHURCH OF MERIGNAC 24 SEPTEMBER - 18 DECEMBER , 2022
How to trace the disappearance? Is the work of art a fleeting gesture or, on the contrary, the support of a permanence? This question of time, raised by the act of creation, is central to the work of the artist Morvarid K and the exhibition "Traces". From one series to another the artist explores the three dimensions - past, present and future - and, at the same time, her work liberates us from the moment. Morvarid K questions the perceptible and the imperceptible, the dissonance of the passing time.

OFF-SITE EXHIBITION • Vittoria gerardi
DARMO, ANTIBES 22 AUGUST - 03 SEPTEMBER 2022
From August 22 to September 3, Bigaignon collaborates with the DARMO gallery.
The two galleries propose a solo exhibition of the talented artist Vittoria Gerardi, Latenza. The name echoes the series developed between 2021 and 2022 by the Italian photographer. In "Latenza", Vittoria Gerardi examines the very nature of photography, light and time, and explores the border between the visible and invisible elements that constitute a photography. Through two different processes, called Lethégraphie and Aléthégraphie, Vittoria Gerardi tries to understand the language of photography, its submerged structure, its hidden side.
PRIVATE SCREENING • Harold Feinstein "Last Stop Coney Island"
TUESDAY 15 MARCH (7- 9PM)

BAUDELAIRE x ANTOINE D'AGATA• POETRY READING
THURSDAY 2 DECEMBER 2021 (7- 9 PM)
Bigaignon and The Eyes publishing are pleased to invite you on Thursday, December 2 from 7 to 9 pm to a reading of Charles Baudelaire's poems by Antoine D'Agata on the occasion of the launch of Antoine D'Agata's "Fleurs du Mal" publication.
In this book, Antoine d'Agata pushes photography to its limits, discarding the medium to return to its raw nature. The texts of Charles Baudelaire dialogue with photographs that have become engravings through wear and tear and manipulation, where the bodies blend together to give way to the poetry of the body.
The work includes the original uncensored edition of Baudelaire's Fleurs du Mal accompanied by these strange prints engraved by d'Agata. Two personalities meet thus, on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Baudelaire. Two artists who could have met, debated, confronted each other. For d'Agata, Baudelaire leaves a legacy that must be pushed to extend his own vision.
Free entrance. Limited availability. Reservation only.
THE (BOOK)STORE • CURATED BY MARC LENOT
ONLINE LAUNCH ON SEPTEMBER 23RD, 2021
INAUGURATION ON SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2021
As we inaugurate our new Parisian space on September 30th, we are launching a new kind of boutique, a "curated (book)store" whose very first selection has been entrusted to Marc Lenot, art critic and great collector of photography books. With a totally new concept, this one-of-a-kind store has been designed for photography enthusiasts, book lovers and collectors. The principle is simple: entrust the curatorial responsibility to various personalities (historians, critics, journalists, institutions, artists and even collectors), giving them carte blanche to present a shortlist of books that are particularly dear to them, regardless of the authors, periods, origins or styles, as long as they concern photography.
The very first selection is made by Marc Lenot, art historian and critic and, to say the least, an expert in photography. As Marc Lenot explains, his selection is undoubtedly influenced by his "research around experimental photography, by photographers who do not respect the rules, play with the camera and assert their freedom". A thought-provoking cutting-edge selection that questions the very nature of photography.
Whether they be collector's books, limited editions, running publications or out of print ones, only a few copies of each book are available for sale, with prices ranging for this first selection between €7.5 and €2000. The Store is also the perfect place to find all the books of the artists represented by the gallery and presents in addition several collectibles, serigraphs and other multiples in its permanent selection.
NEW SPACE • INAUGURATION SEPTEMBER 30TH
18 RUE DU BOURG-TIBOURG, PARIS 4
SEPTEMBER 30TH 2021
With a new space opening in September, the creation of a unique concept bookstore and a change of name, the gallery is entering the phase 2 of its development.

But that's not all! The gallery, now simply called Bigaignon, will also offer a first-of-a-kind concept bookstore, whose content will be curated by invited personalities! Just like temporary exhibits, and on the principle of a carte blanche, we will invite for our Curated (book)Store art critics, historians, journalists and curators who will propose their own selection, their favorite books.
