WHAT IS ART BRUT PHOTOGRAPHY ALL ABOUT?
Two years after the exhibition "Photo|Brut, Collection Bruno Decharme & Compagnie" which made the headlines at the Rencontres de la photographie d'Arles 2019, a few months before the entry of a large part of this same collection at the Centre Pompidou, and at the moment of the first participation of an art brut gallery at Paris Photo, it is time to ask ourselves if photography is a yet unstudied part of the field of art brut, or if the latter is a forgotten expression of the history of photography and to be included-or not?
Moderated by Marc Donnadieu, art critic and curator, France
Christian Berst, collector and gallery owner, France
Bruno Decharme, collector and filmmaker, France
Corinne Rondeau, lecturer in aesthetics and art sciences, France

PHOTOGRAPHY & MUSIC: MERGING TERRITORIES
Round-table imagined and moderated by Taous Dahmani, historian of photography, researcher and art critic, France
Crafted as a continuation of the 12th issue of The Eyes magazine entitled “B-SIDE: Photography, Afropea, Fusion”, this round table will consider the role and place of music within contemporary photographic practices. The aim will be to understand music as a major influence for some artist-photographers, but also and above all, to understand musical techniques as a way of thinking through the photographic act.
Mohammed Bourouissa, artist, France
Johny Pitts, photographer and author, United Kingdom
Cédrine Scheidig, photographer, France
In collaboration with The Eyes magazine

THE GAME WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHIC CONDITION
Conversations organized and moderated by Pascale Krief, art critic and curator, France
Since the avant-gardes of the 1920s and 1940s, artists and photographers have been using the photographic medium in an attempt to transcend its figurative condition, creating a separation of meaning between the represented object and the meaning attributed to it. Initiated by Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray, this game of infra-thin order with the viewer introduces a second degree of reading, and operates a distancing with the Barthian analysis of the photography as trace of a "that-was". It continues and renews itself in the 1960s/1980s and since then occupies a paradigmatic place in the photographic and artistic fields.
Klaus Rinke, artist, Germany
Annegret Soltau, photographer, Germany
