PARIS PHOTO 2013

Novembre tempo di Paris Photo, di Grand Palais e di foto incredibili da cui vorrei essere subissata. Vediamo che cosa ci perdiamo quest’anno, anche se ammetto che ospitare su ElectroMode simili scatti è per me già un piacere indicibile. Ok, andiamo avanti.
Per la 17esima edizione - dal 14 al 17 novembre - cresce ancora il numero di espositori con ben 28 nuove gallerie tra cui ovviamente nessuna italiana (d’altra parte basta pensare alla triste storia dello Spazio Forma di Milano per trarre qualche conclusione).
In tema di mostre, il programma prevede l’esposizione delle acquisizioni recenti dell’Instituto Moreira Salles di Rio de Janeiro, dell’Art Gallery of Ontario di Toronto e del Museum Folkwang di Essen, mentre per la serie Private Collection sarà presentata una selezione della collezione Harald Falckenberg. 
Poi ci saranno i Photobook Awards in collaborazione con la Aperture Foundation e le mostre dei partner di Paris Photo 2013: Aqua #4 di Giorgio Armani, Best Picture della J.P. Morgan, Les Glorieux della giovane Marion Gronier patrocinata da BMW Art & Culture e quella su Cedric Gerbehaye promossa da Leica. 
Fittissima l’agenda di incontri e dibattiti e, per chi avesse qualcosa da farsi autografare, saranno presenti Paolo Roversi, Elliott Erwitt, Martin Parr (che ha curato anche la mostra Open Book), Mitch Epstein, Olivo Barbieri, Sebastião Salgado e tanti altri.



November, it’s time to discover Paris Photo, the Grand Palais and a lot of photos. For the 17th edition (14-17 November) the number of the exhibitors has increased with 28 new galleries.

About the exhibitions, the plan includes Private Collection - a selection of the Harald Falckenberg’s collection - and the presentation of the recent photography acquisitions of three museums: the Instituto Moreira Salles (Rio de Janeiro), the Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto) and the Museum Folkwang (Essen). Then there is gonna be the Photobook Awards in collaboration with Aperture Foundation and the exhibitions of the Paris Photo 2013 partners: Aqua #4 sponsored by Giorgio Armani, Best Pictures by J.P. Morgan, Les Glorieux by Marion Gronier sponsored by BMW Art & Culture and that one dedicated to Cedric Gerbehaye supported by Leica.

Molto, molto interessanti le esposizioni allestite dalle gallerie. Si potranno esplorare i paesaggi urbani di Lara Dhondt, i lavori del pioniere del digitale Paul Thorel (da Guido Costa, unico italiano) o ancora percorsi tematici tipo Youth da Christophe Guye,  


The galleries shows are very interesting: from the urban landscapes by Lara Dhondt (Bouruina Gallery) to Ori Gersht’s symbolism of flowers (Mummery + Schnelle), from the works of Paul Thorel - the pioneer of digital photo - (Guido Costa Projects) to the thematic shows like Youth (Christophe Guye Galerie),
