GALLERY: Martine Aboucaya

Inaugurated in 2005 in le Marais in Paris with the very first exhibition of the film maker Agnès Varda, Martine Aboucaya presents major international artists as well as emerging ones, all deeply involved in an art of protocol and intimately linked to writing.
Since its opening  the Galerie has been elaborating a program of exhibitions presenting highly personal artistic projects, aiming at developping bridges between contemporary conceptual art and adjacent disciplines including cinema, architecture, poetry, musique and performance. The gallery’s identity takes roots in its continuous search for a poetic form of experiment nourished by references and storytales.
The artists' approach unfolds in a research field concerned mainly with the thinking process, language and the evocative, revealing an obsession with simple gestures thanks to an observation of the invisible. The shows become a space for reflection that knits together works and ideas.
As a result, a militant positioning is constructed within a more thoughtful economy conceived as an equilibrium of decisions questioning the limits of our current context.
In addition to its exhibitions, the gallery offers since its opening a rich programme of meetings, conferences and readings  and publishes limited editions, artist's books and poetry.
