Depuis 2010, la Galerie Binome (Le Marais, Paris) est dédiée à la photographie contemporaine. Sa programmation d’expositions et de foires internationales s’ouvre aux artistes établis et émergents de l’art contemporain explorant les frontières conceptuelles et formelles du médium. En quête de nouvelles formes en photographie et s’intéressant aux expérimentations sur la matérialité et les supports de l’image, la sélection des œuvres établit notamment des dialogues avec la sculpture et le dessin, ou avec des matériaux traditionnels comme la céramique et le textile. La définition et l’élargissement du champ photographique sont au cœur des réflexions menées par la galerie.
Membre du Comité Professionnel des Galeries d’Art, la Galerie Binome développe de nombreuses collaborations avec des personnalités du monde de l’art et de la photographie, commissaires d’exposition, institutions privées et publiques.

Model contracts are available on the Dutch Gallery Association CNGA) website.
