2 SOPHIE RISTELHUEBER PÈRES - Solo show May 17 > June Jérôme Poggi is pleased to present Sophie Ristelhueber s latest work in his new space on rue Beaubourg from Saturday 17 th of May to Saturday 14 th of June This first exhibition at the gallery will be fully dedicated to the presentation of the film entitled Pères (Fathers) that Sophie Ristelhueber made at the invitation of «Ligne de Front» (Front Line) as part of the commemoration of the First World War centenary, of which one of the other high points will be the exhibition «Les désastres de la guerre » (The disasters of war ) that Laurence Bertrand-Dorléac will present at the Louvre-Lens starting May 28 th, in which several works by Ristelhueber will be shown. The opening will be on Saturday 17 th of May from 2pm to 8pm. After its preview at the gallery, Pères (Fathers) will then be screened from June 14 to September 28 in Vermelles, in the framework of a historical and artistic itinerary around ten towns of the Artois province that bears the marks of the front line. Sophie Ristelhueber has continued a reflection on territory and its history for about thirty years, through a unique approach to the ruins and traces left by mankind in those places devastated by war or by natural and cultural upheaval. Far from the classical photo story, she strives to implement the bare act and the stamp of history on both the body and on the landscape, by rendering visible wounds and scars, veritable memories of the acts of history. If she essentially turns to photography in her work, Sophie Ristelhueber utilizes her shooting to create full plastic works, playing with the material and the format of the image, its status, its framework and its installation in space. Her work has been exhibited in numerous international institutions, among which MoMA (New York, US), Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, US), Albright-Knox Art Gallery (Buffalo, US), The Power Plant (Toronto, CA), Tate Modern (London, GB), Imperial War Museum (London, GB), biennials of Johannesburg, Sao Paulo, Triennial of Etchigo-Tsumari, Rencontres Photographiques d Arles, and in Paris, MNAM Centre Pompidou, Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume, Musée Zadkine, Musée Rodin... Sophie Ristelhueber is represented by the Jérôme Poggi Gallery. Her work will also be shown at Louvre- Lens «Les désastres de la guerre» (May 2014) «Ligne de front», (June-September 2014) and Tate Modern (Londres, GB) «Conflict, Time, Photography» (November 2014).

3 For its first show dedicated to Sophie Ristelhueber, Jérôme Poggi Gallery is pleased to premiere the film Pères (Fathers), made at the invitation of the Contemporary art center Lab-Labanque Béthune as part of the commemorations of the First World War. Echoing the exhibition «Les Désastres de la guerre » (The Disasters of War ) at Louvre- Lens that features several of her works, the artist evokes the war, this time implicitly, in this film shot in her family home in Vulaines (FR). Sophie Ristelhueber, develops a work based on a reflection around territory conveived as a bearer of the traces of human activity and as the remembrance of major historical upheavals. Pères, 2014, Color HD video, 13 In counterpoint to the film, the projection of which will occupy the whole gallery, a photograph taken by Ristelhueber in Syria in 1999 (Dead Set, 2001) welcomes the visitor, immediately placing him/her on the grounds of ruin, of disappearance and of vestige. If Sophie Ristelhueber has often been at the heart of conflicts to realize her works, it is not so much the grounds of current affairs but the grounds of history that she brings us to. The history of mankind, from the Peloponnesian war to the Gulf war, but also the story of each and every one of us, through her relationship to the past, to memory and to collective history. It is also through her personal story that Ristelhueber finally responded to the invitation to participate in the commemoration of the war, not without some hesitation to tread on the wounded soils she had already stridden accross in the Middle East. After a trip to Baalbek in May 2013 where she wanted to film landscapes, on the bordres of Lebanon and Syria, which she had photographed thirty years before, it is finally in her family home in Vulaines, next to Fontainebleau, that she found the matter of her film. The artist one again took high angle shots, this time not leaning onto the stretches of the Kuwait desert (Fait, 1992), onto the aisles of the Luxembourg Gardens (Le Luxembourg, 2002) or on the paths of the Vercors (Le Chardon, 2007), but on the worn out floors and the threadbare carpets of her childhood home, trampled upon by several generations, and particularly by a great-uncle, called up in 1914 and who died in the battlefield in 1916 at the age of 22. It is when reading the letters of her «young» forefather evoking this house while he was on the front lines, that Ristelhueber dedided to work there, far from any theater of war, and yet bearing deep and implicit marks caused by the disappearance of those gone to fight. The film is carried by the famous Lied Der Erlkönig (1813) that Schubert composed at the age of 16 for a poem by Goethe. In it, the German poet describes the frantic race through a forest, on horseback, of a father and his young son, whom he fails to protect from death, ignoring his anxieties and his pleas.

10 GALERIE JÉRÔME POGGI The Jérôme Poggi Gallery essentially carries out a task of prospection orientated first of all towards young contemporary creation but also toward those figures already recognized, even historical, for whom it supports the process of recognition as much in economical, as in critical and historical spheres, linking economic and critical values within a globalequation where inttelectual and economical speculation come to meet. The Gallery was founded by Jérôme Poggi in 2009, and is originally based nead Gare du Nord in Paris. The Gallery is opening a second space in Le Marais Paris, next to the Centre Pompidou. Jérôme Poggi is also director of «Objet de Production», a production and studies facility created in 2004, to make art appear within the society through private and public commissions as part of the New Patrons initiated by La Fondation de France Convaincus que les mutations profondes que connaît la scène de l art nécessitent de nouveaux outils de production, de diffusion et de réflexion, la Galerie Jérôme Poggi et Objet de Production ont décidé de s associer pour créer ainsi un nouvel outil hybride, conjuguant des modes d action commerciaux et politiques, critiques et pédagogiques pour inventer un nouveau modèle d économie politique pour l art contemporain.
