LA PROVENCE 
Isabelle Appy / febuary 2022

​

"The hillside of the districts in the eye of the Zoomers, Barriol, Griffeuille, Trébon expose in the city center. The sympbolic is strong and beautiful. The Zoomers exhibition presented at the Galerie Huit Arles, just as much."

 

 

L’Oeil de la Photographie: Arles 
Thierry Maindrault / August + December 2020

​

"OpenWalls Arles 2020 was already launched when the global pandemic hit. This didn’t discourage Julia de Bierre one bit - against all odds she decided to exhibit the winning images come what may. The stream of visitors that viewed the exhibition all summer was a beautiful tribute to Julia’s tenacity and passion for photography."

 

 

Liberation

Clementine Mercier / July 2020

 

"Arles doesn’t forget its fundamentals. Nor its foundations. In her wonderful Galerie Huit mansion Julia de Bierre opens up the vaulted cellar to exhibit Osceola Refetoff’s edgy images of abandoned houses, in partnership with the British Journal of Photography."

 

 

MARCELLE

YONDER 

Alicia Dorey / August 2019

​

"Without a doubt one of the most beautiful – and most secret –of palatial town houses, a late 17th century architectural gem.  On the ground floor (...) you will find a gallery space where the charismatic writer and curator Julia de Bierre has been welcoming the emerging stars of contemporary art since 2007."
