Over the course of an evening, members of the public will be able to view the exhibited works of French video artists in the windows of some of the British capital’s best-known art galleries.

Kashya Hildebrand is proud to join leading London galleries and will be presenting Ange Leccia’s ‘La Mer’.

Comments gallery founder Hildebrand: "I am delighted to take part in the inaugural London Nuit Blanche, which provides a wonderful platform for intercultural exchange between France and the UK. Ange Leccia’s ‘La Mer’ presents a beautiful aquatic landscape in a contemporary setting, which is very much in line with the direction of the gallery. I love the concept of Nuit Blanche as it brings new energy to the Fitzrovia area, and we hope to participate in further initiatives such as this in the future."

Leccia and Kashya Hildebrand will be joining works by artists including Arnaud Dezoteux, Pierre Huyghe, Sophie Calle, Cyprien Gaillard and Ivan Argote at galleries like The Photographer’s Gallery, White Cube, Marlborough Contemporary, Spruth Magers and Victoria Miro’s new Mayfair space.

The public will be able to map the city walking from one gallery to the next with the chance to discover the French contemporary video art scene. Nuit Blanche Video originally came to life in the French capital and has already proven to be a successful part of Paris’ annual dusk-til-dawn arts festival Nuit Blanche.

"We are thrilled to be able to bring Nuit Blanche Video to London. Our aim is to create a reciprocal arrangement with Parisian galleries and exhibit the works of British artists next year so as to strengthen cultural ties between the two cities," say Marie Shek, Yasmine Datnow and Maïa Morgensztern, the organizers behind Nuit Blanche Video 2013.

Nuit Blanche Video

Previous editions of Nuit Blanche Video have taken place before in the form of a city exchange between Paris and Tel Aviv. In 2009, Shek created and staged Nuit Blanche 100% TLV à Paris with works by Israeli video artists shown in the windows of Parisian galleries for one night. Similarly, the year after she invited French artists were invited to show their videos during Nuit Blanche 100% Paris à TLV. Later this year, Nuit Blanche Video will also travel to New York.

Kashya Hildebrand

Kashya Hildebrand opened her first gallery in Geneva in 2001 and later had galleries in both New York and Zurich. In June 2013, Kashya Hildebrand opened its London space on Eastcastle Street with the inaugural exhibition of works by Iranian artist Reza Derakshani. Hildebrand’s program reflects its dedication to the support and representation of an international group of emerging and mid-career artists through solo and group shows. The artists challenge pre-conceived notions of nationality and cultural identity, creating an environment in which established norms become blurred and characterizations from seemingly contrasting cultures occupy the same visual space.
