LE BAL - Yasuhiro Ishimoto exhibition

As an Inalco student, you benefit from 20% off the purchase of a ticket for the exhibition Yasuhiro Ishimoto at the Bal, from October 14 to November 17, 2024. A code will be sent via the newsletter Culture et loisirs.

From June 19 to November 17, 2024, LE BAL presents a remarkable figure in the history of Japanese photography, yet little known in France: Yasuhiro Ishimoto (1921-2012). For the first time in Europe, the exhibition, organized in close collaboration with the Ishimoto Yasuhiro Photo Center at the Museum of Art, Kochi, Japan, brings together 169 rare prints, most of them vintage and made by Ishimoto himself. The exhibition focuses on the first decades of his work, between Chicago and Japan. A key figure of the 1950s and 1960s, he would be considered "visually bilingual" for his ability to combine the formal approach of the New Bauhaus with the quintessence of Japanese aesthetics.

Arab Presences Modern Art and Decolonization. Paris 1908-1988, at the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris, from April 5 to August 25, 2024
The Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris invites visitors to rediscover the diversity of Arab modernism in the 20th century, and to take a fresh historical look at art scenes that are still little known in Europe. Through a selection of over 200 works, most of which have never been exhibited in France, the exhibition "Présences Arabes - Art moderne et décolonisation - Paris 1908-1988" highlights the relationship between Arab artists and Paris throughout the 20th century.
