The exhibition at the Mk2 Library, organized by Yann Couedor, combines the works of the group As the Stars Fall. It’s composed of photographers, composers, and the video artists Steve Fraschini, Guillaume Silvestri and Remi Tobbal. It also features the photography of Geoffrey Gouverneur and Sheitan-M, as well as the videos of Clément Batifoulier, Pauline Goasmat and Sophia Leal.
The show challenges established formats and mediums to reveal a delicate but often crude world. The group As The Stars Fall was born of a deep desire to express, without artifice or constraint, an up-front vision of a world of violence and despair. Geoffrey Governor works from screen photographs of sensitive themes dealing with matter and time, bringing together a number of perceptual spaces and distinct times.
Sheitan-M produces work aimed at “freeing people from their blinders and expanding their senses.” In images that are often staged, he captures a world where loneliness and violence are expressed in the pores of his subjects.
The exhibition is part of a tree-part event not to be missed:
- Exhibition Watching the World Falling Down at Mk2 Bibliothèque until June 24
- Exhibition Welcome in my Mind de Sheitan M, Galerie Absoluty, 3 rue Eugène Varlin (Paris 10e) from June 11 until July 12
- Exhibition Cut Collection by Yann Couedor at Olympia from July 2 to 13
A new agency to promote artists, Bothsides Creative Agency was created in 2008 by Guillaume Silvestri, François Mandron and Yann Couedor. Its objective is to present visual artists in the same way as singer-songwriters, via buzz, special events, and exhibitions in spectacular and unusual places.

Il propose dans ses dessins scripturés de vivre le rythme du monde en captant et en prolongeant l’intensité insaisissable de l’instant, en convoquant le hasard et en le provoquant, opposant ainsi un ralentissement délibéré à la vitesse vertigineuse de notre monde médiatique. Les formes géométriques ou encore l’entrelacs des lignes, accentués par les pliages du papier, créent une écriture énergique propre à Schimansky.
Reservation and registration at the club
Once again, SHOW OFF will be located at the Port of Champs Elysées at the foot of the Grand Palais and the FIAC. The only art fair offshoot of the FIAC, SHOW OFF is not to be missed.
Roger-Viollet, created in 1938, is engaged since 1998 in a program of digitization of their photo collections (350 000 images have been digitized so far).
In this exhibition, Hanns Schimansky is showing 40 drawings made between 2007 and 2010. These drawings, written as much as drawn, attempt to capture and to prolong the present moment, to mirror the rhythm of the universe. Using and provoking the idea of chance, he metaphorically slows the headlong speed at which we live in today’s world, dominated as it is by the media. Geometric shapes and intercrossing, looping lines, accentuated by the folds in the paper he uses, form Schimansky’s unmistakeable energetic graphic style: cities and landscapes appear, through which we are invited to travel.
Created in 1998, Artistik Rezo currently has 200 000 subscribers to the weekly newsletter. The Club allows its members to benefit from preferential rates and exclusive invitations to the best cultural events in Paris :
