Marta Zgierska: Afterbeauty IV, 2018, Pigmentdruck auf Dibond © Marta Zgierska | | | | | | The second düsseldorf photo+ Biennale for Visual and Sonic Media opens on 13 May. Featuring over 50 exhibitions and a wide range of accompanying events, the participating Düsseldorf art institutions, galleries and fringe venues collectively offer an insight into the issues and debates current within the world of photography and time-based media.
The keynote exhibition, Think We Must, curated by Pola Sieverding and Asya Yaghmurian opens on 12 May at the Akademie Galerie on Burgplatz and plays a pivotal role thematically within the Biennale. Featuring works by Frida Orupabo, Walid Raad, Hito Steyerl, David Wojnarowicz and others, the exhibition examines how reality, history and a dispositional analysis of society can be constituted and altered when thought is based around photographic images.
The Biennale will be accompanied throughout its run by a comprehensive programme of panel discussions, talks and workshops, including a roundtable debate, with discussants Vivien Trommer, Akinbode Akinbiyi, Aino Laberenz and Max Jorge Hinderer Cruz, on 14 May at K21 at the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen on curating and art education as a means of interrogating power. | | | | | |  +" title="düsseldorf photo+" width="570" /> | | | Filmwerkstatt Düsseldorf

© Jonathan Forsythe, 2019 (Kaput Publishing) | | | | | | The Julia Stoschek Collection places a spotlight on the work of the Turner Prize-winner, Laure Prouvost, with screenings interrogating the intimate relationship between language, image and perception. At Düsseldorf University, Professor Mareike Foecking’s students investigate how artistic production can make a contribution to societal knowledge and the nature of the framework of rules within which it operates. The film programme, Imagi(ni)ng Otherwise, at the Bambi Filmstudio, features culturally critical films dealing with global racist and gender-based power structures by film-makers, including Salma Baccar, Larissa Sansour, Chris Marker and others.
Angelo Novi believes that film and photography are an ideal match. Novi worked as a set photographer on the socially critical films of Pier Paolo Pasolini, amongst others. His work is on show at the Galerie Rupert Pfab alongside that of Astrid Busch, which features cross-media glimpses of Istanbul. Linn Lühn invites us to rethink Man Ray ’s classic photographic art and its sensitive relationship between photographer and model. Two visual series by Thomas Ruff at the Konrad Fischer Galerie cast a light on political propaganda. | | | | | |  +" title="düsseldorf photo+" width="418" /> | | | Sies + Höke
© Talia Chetrit | | | | | | | Talia Chetrit’s work, on show at the Galerie Sies + Höke, takes power, sexuality and role models as its subject matter. Marge Monko’s photographs at the Galerie COSAR focus on a critique of consumerism, looking at the shop window as a point of intersection between desire and acquisition. Petra Rinck presents a group show around the subject of the digitalisation of sound and image. Gino Bühler’s exhibition at Schönewald Fine Arts places a focus on awareness of vegetation growing on the periphery of urban spaces. | | | | | |  +" title="düsseldorf photo+" width="570" /> | | | SCHÖNEWALD Fine Arts

Marge Monko: Antwerpen, Boon, 2014, C-Print, 60 x 60 cm
© Marge Monko | | | | | | düsseldorf photo+ is an initiative that originated on the Düsseldorf arts scene. It is built on a conviction that photographic and media-based art, in the form of digitalisation and artificial intelligence, can help explain, and make visible, changes in the media and society, and can allow for a critical examination and aesthetic experiencing of them. The Biennale is organised in a decentralised manner and places a focus on time-based media, also offering a comprehensive overview of Düsseldorf’s contemporary art scene.
