BOOK LAUNCH : Something in the Water, with Oscar Tuazon and Lisa Robertson

Something in the Water marks a new chapter in Oscar Tuazon’s ongoing Water School project. Published by DoPe Press, it is a companion and an extension to the eponymous exhibition curated by Tuazon at MAXXI in Rome, that brings together artists such as Lita Albuquerque, Abraham Cruzvillegas, Torkwase Dyson, Nancy Holt, or Anna Sew Hoy, who engage with water as a living material and an artistic medium.
The language of water is poetry; so Tuazon uses this book to explore the elemental faculty of water through reflections by various writers and poets, among them Lisa Robertson, who will join the artist for this parisian launch.

Conversation between Qalqalah قلقلة and Pina, with Line Ajan and Catalina Imizcoz

Join us for the release of Pina’s second issue – that includes exhibitions by Edgar Calel and Forensic Architecture, conversations with Lisette Lagnado and between Eyal Weizman, Agata Nguyen Chuong, Zoé Samudzi and Irmgard Emmelhainz, and short stories by Portia Subran and Rémy Ngamije.
Catalina Imizcoz, founder of Pina, and Line Ajan, member of Qalqalah قلقلة collective, will be in conversation about their publishing platforms and the ways in which they expand from the printed page onto the world. In employing their publications as spaces for exhibitions and attachments, these two intersectional projects, with affective, intellectual and political links to the Global Majority, build an extended practice where publishing leads to connections, horizontal networks and worldbuilding encounters.

LAUNCH : PROVENCE Unconscious 2025

PROVENCE presents its latest issue, Unconscious, dedicated to exploring (post-)Jungian ideas as they reverberate through contemporary art, fashion, and psychoanalysis. This issue navigates the collective unconscious and its metaphors such as the garden, symbolism like the hermaphrodite or the shadows in Mike Kelley’s oeuvre, gathers artistic contributions such as Laura Langer’s Spirals or Calla Henkel and Max Pitegoff’s Headshots, celebrates artists as mediators channeling archetypal forces and some other reverberations that reveal the psychological undercurrents of contemporary life.
Between Nice Zurigo and Paris, PROVENCE makes you trust your own shadow.

At Your Feet (Linger), a performance by Nicole

Nicole’s performance series At Your Feet consists of tableaux vivants entwining fetish, repetition, and stillness. They stage women suspended between gestures: their feet passive while their hands are busy, the women are absorbed in their own activities, detached from the outside world.

BOOK LAUNCH : Mimosa Echard – LIES

Let’s switch to the bookstore, 7 rue Jarry, for this one: published by Mousse, LIES follows how Mimosa Echard draws from biological research, the history of experimental cinema, and her personal biography to create works that intertwine sexuality, perception, and artifice.
The book includes texts by Daphné B., Amelia Groom, Quinn Latimer, and Devrim Bayar, and a dialogue between Mimosa Echard and Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster.

BOOK LAUNCH : George Tourkovasilis – Strange Switch. Spent. The Night, Sleep.

Published by Julie Peeters’ imprint BILL, this book presents previously unpublished photographic work by George Tourkovasilis (1944–2021). Spanning the 1960s to the 2000s, his images move between diaristic depictions of radically intimate moments and sociological chronicles, while his incisive writing on art, politics, and desire brings its own syncopated reflections ❦
