Galerie Kamel Mennour
Galerie Kamel Mennour is a contemporary art gallery in Paris, France, owned and directed by Kamel Mennour.
History
The first space, 50sqm, was inaugurated on Rue Mazarine in 1999.[1] Dedicated to contemporary photography, the gallery showed works of international artists, little known in France, like Larry Clark, Stephen Shore or Nobuyoshi Araki, alongside more established artists such as Pierre Molinier.[2] Meanwhile, the gallery began to publish catalogs, accompanying these exhibitions. Today more than forty catalogs have been published by Kamel Mennour Editions.[3]
The gallery gained reputation abroad by participating for the first time at
In 2003, the gallery began to diversify its programming by promoting young contemporary artists as well as established artists working in different media: Daniel Buren, Claude Lévêque, François Morellet and Martin Parr.[6]
In September 2007, the gallery expanded into a new 400 m2 space of in the seventeenth century Hôtel particulier of Vieuville, located at 47 rue Saint-André-des-arts. Designed by architects Aldric Beckmann and Françoise N'Thépé, it was inaugurated with a solo exhibition by Daniel Buren.[7] The initial space of the Rue Mazarine shows specific projects. In the following years the gallery continued to exhibit young emerging artists (Mohamed Bourouissa, Camille Henrot, Latifa Echakhch,
Besides solo exhibitions, historical dialogues are held regularly (Daniel Buren and Alberto Giacometti in 2010, François Morellet and Kasimir Malevich in 2011), as well as group and thematic exhibitions, such as the exhibition of "Lux Perpetua" (2012) addressing the treatment of light from Delacroix to Ann Veronica Janssens, or “L’image pensée" (2013, curated by Donatien Grau), dedicated to the use of slideshows by contemporary artists.
Parallel to the gallery program, the gallery regularly collaborates with institutions to conduct significant off site projects, such as Arche 2009 by Huang Yong Ping in the Chapelle des Beaux-Arts de Paris,[8] the 2011 and 2012 Monumenta exhibitions, respectively by Anish Kapoor[9] and Daniel Buren[10] at the Grand Palais. Other major collaborations were Claude Lévêque's solo presentation at the 2009 French pavilion at the Venice Biennale as well as Sigalit Landau's contribution to the Israeli pavilion in 2011 and later Camille Henrot's video Grosse Fatigue (2013), awarded with a Silver Lion for the most promising young artist.[11]
In September 2013, the gallery doubled its exhibition space by opening a second space on 6 rue du Pont de Lodi which allowed it to host monumental works under a vast glass roof, such as the inaugural exhibition by the Arte Povera artist Pier Paolo Calzolari.[12]
