ARTICLES AND PORTFOLIOS CV40
EDITORIAL- CV40
By Franck Michel
Since its inception, CVphoto has favoured new currents in its choice of both artists and writers. In fact, we feel that a magazine dedicated to contemporary photography should provide some recognition to young artists and writers.
POINT DE VUE - Me, my Grandmother, the Object, and the Others
An exhibition whose objective is to present the work of young and not so young, but above all relatively unknown artists raises expectations – if not particularly with regard to specifics of the works presented, then certainly with regard to what we could call trends.
