Strengthened by its history, the gallery remains true to its philosophy: promodng contemporary ardsts.Since its origin, the gallery has mainly focused on distribudng works on paper and suppordng ardsts through publicadons of illustrated catalogues. Nowadays, the gallery regularly works with independent exhibidon curators in order to bring a cridcal eye on works of collaboradng ardsts.The program alternates with collecdve and individual exhibidons, giving exposure to works of French ardsts, but also internadonal, covering domains as diverse as photography, drawing, video or installadon.In January 2012, Victor Mendès, who was formerly in charge of PHOTO4 gallery, became director of the LWS gallery. A new showroom was inaugurated during the The same but different exhibidon, in memory of Charles Zalber. At the same moment, a new ardsdc path was launched.Following to this renewal, the LWS gallery would like to confirm this energy and this curious desire which became recently some of its characterisdcs, by highlighdng new works of ardsts collaboradng with the gallery as well as more recent findings, by discovering new talents.Presse mappe I Seite 50
