Val Telberg: Un surréaliste américain à Paris

The year 2024 marks the centenary of one of the most captivating and influential artistic movements of the 20th century: Surrealism. A hundred years ago, André Breton published the iconic Surrealist Manifesto. To commemorate this anniversary, the Centre Pompidou is hosting a major exhibition, Le Surréalisme d’abord et toujours, and has launched a call for projects as part of A Surrealist Season in Paris. Les Douches la Galerie is proud to participate in this initiative.

From September 12 to November 10, 2024, we will present a new exhibition titled Val Telberg: An American Surrealist in Paris. This exhibition offers the public a chance to (re)discover Telberg's unique experimental work, which features layered images of figures in motion, evoking the dreamlike weightlessness and imagery associated with surrealism. In addition to his photography, Telberg also explored painting, sculpture, and film, and his work is included in numerous major public collections worldwide, including the Centre Pompidou. Four of his photomontages were previously displayed in the Centre Pompidou’s collective exhibition, Corps à Corps – Histoire(s) de la photographie.

EXHIBITION ORGANIZED AS PART OF A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CENTER POMPIDOU, THE ASSOCIATION ANDRÉ BRETON AND THE COMITÉ PROFESSIONNEL DES GALERIES D'ART.

OPENING ON SEPTEMBER 18, 2024, FROM 6PM TO 7PM
