Photoquai
Quai Branly Museum, Paris
A new photographic biennale. More that 400 images by 70 different photographers, most of them unknown, in various institutions
Instigated by the Quai Branly Museum, a new photographic biennale is born. Photoquai federates various Paris institutions and aims at making the public discover contemporary creation in the field of set and animated images (videos) with one specificity: it presents only non-European artists. Among the exhibitions integrated in this first edition, some are indoors, like at the Brazilian embassy (Carlos Freire and the Indians from Upper Xingu by Sebastião Salgado), the Australian embassy (aboriginal photographer Ricky Maynard), the BNF (Treasures from the Societe de geographie), the Maison europeenne de la photographie (installation by Rogerio Reis on the violence in the favelas), or the Chinese Cultural Centre(Liu Lei and Yuan Xue Jun). Others, following a fashion that has been around for some years now, are hung outdoors (passerelle Debilly, quai de l'Alma). More that 400 images by 70 different photographers, most of them unknown.
