Valérie Belin Book Launch at Albertine

Tuesday, February 28 at 7 PM, Albertine presents photographer Valérie Belin and MoMA curator Quentin Bajac discussing Belin's new monograph from Damiani. The conversation will be followed by a book signing.

"Arcotis Fastuosa (Namaqua Marigold)," from Black Eyed Susan II (2013).


"Series by series, Belin is building a non-exhaustive inventory of the world, which today is governed by the dictatorship of the gaze: a world in which subjects – be they animated beings or objects – exist only for and through the other person’s gaze." – Quentin Bajac


VALÉRIE BELIN lives and works in Paris. She trained at the École Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Bourges from 1983 to 1988, and then went on to study the philosophy of art at the Université Panthéon-Sorbonne in Paris, where she was awarded a Diplôme d’Études Approfondies in 1989. Her work has been shown in exhibitions in international venues including the Centre Pompidou, Paris (2015), PHI Center, Montreal, Quebec (2014). Her work has appeared in several group exhibitions including A World of Its Own: Photographic Practices in the Studio at The Museum of Modern Art, New York (2014) Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow (2013), Nathalie Obadia Gallery, Brussels (2014) and Edwynn Houk Gallery, New York (2013). Amongst the collections that have acquired her work are the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Maison européenne de la photographie, Paris; The Museum of Modern Art, New York and the National Museum of Contemporary Art Korea, Seoul.
