| | Mark Mahaney / Polar Night #9, 2019
98,42 x 127 cm in an edition of 3 + 1 AP | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ... until 23 April 2022 | | |  | | | | | | | | | | As a gallery we are always on the lookout for work that fascinates, resonates if you will, and sticks to you. Work we would like to acquire for our own collection. We look everywhere, from fairs to the web and anything in between. In this search we stumbled upon a book entitled Polar Night by Mark Mahaney. Owning a vast library of photography books containing over 4.000 titles this was one that captivated us instantly.
Seeing the works in real life we were determined to share the series with our audience. So we brought the work to Amsterdam. A selection of the series is now on show as part of the exhibition Exclamation Mark: a groupshow. To accompany this exhibition we asked Lola van de Graaff to interview Mark Mahaney about his practice and the making of Polar Night in particular.
Mark Mahany's work is part of our current exhibition Exclamation Mark: a groupshow with works by Salim Bayri, Nico Krijno, Matt Lipps, Mark Mahaney, and Theis Wendt. Five artists from different parts of the world whose work we follow and admire turning the gallery space into a curated treasure trove. What is real and what is not we leave up to the eye of the beholder. On show till April 23, 2022. | | |

| | | Lois Conner, Aosta, Italy, 1978. | | | | | | | | ... until 21 May 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Robert Klein Gallery is pleased to present Flat Earth, a solo exhibition of vintage photographs by New York City-based artist Lois Conner, curated by Leandro Villaro of the Penumbra Foundation. Please join us on opening night for an exclusive in-person viewing, featuring an artist talk with MFA Curator Nancy Berliner.
Conner has been photographing in Asia, Europe and America since the 1980s. Her photographs are astounding in their composition and detail, and confirm the possibility of an image that is both specific and general in regards to time, place and history. Inspired by hand-scroll Chinese paintings and seduced by the exquisite tonal and quality reproduction of the platinum printing process, Conner’s meticulous contact-printing practice suggests simplicity. Yet it conceals the complex technical and formal decisions she makes with remarkable clarity of purpose. | | |

| | | | | | | New German Photography | | | | | | | | ... until 1 May 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the exhibition "gute aussichten 2020/2021: New German Photography", the House of Photography at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg is presenting the winners of the renowned award for new graduates in photography. Eight prize winners were selected by a jury for the 17th edition of "gute aussichten".
Every edition of "gute aussichten" is a seismograph whose oscillations reflect the diverse echoes of current social and political as well as aesthetic and media discourses. The selected photographers can be viewed through the lens of Brigitte Kronauer’s novel "Das Schöne, Schäbige, Schwankende". In Kronauer’s view, characters portrayed in literature must go through the three stages of development referenced in the title of her novel: the beautiful, the shabby, and the wavering. Applying this to photography, the artists featured in gute aussichten break down their models and subjects into numerous possible realities, all of which reveal the beautiful, the shabby, or the wavering.
Sophie Allerding, who studied at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences and the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, explores the physical connections of myths in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest in her work "Leuchtende Augen".
In "Ataxia/Ataraxia", Leon Billerbeck, who lives in Leipzig, searches for ways to confront and deal with his father’s neurological illness.
In "Wahala", Robin Hinsch, who also studied at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, questions the mechanisms of exploitation and the conditions of the global extraction of fossil fuels. An earlier series by Hinsch was shown at the Deichtorhallen in 20… | | |

| | | | | | | | ... until 31 May 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | René Groebli, born in 1927 in Zurich, belongs to a generation of Swiss photographers who, after the Second World War, left their mark on the history of 20th century photography. As a student of Hans Finsler in the famous photography class at the Zurich School of Art, which was also attended by Robert Franck, Werner Bischof and René Burri, he freed himself from the research of the new objectivity of the 1920s.
The young photographer made his mark by creating images rather than taking them, and by placing as much emphasis on emotion as on information. A photographer who dissociated himself from professional classifications, René Groebli left photojournalism at the age of 26 and distinguished himself by a personal style of writing in perpetual movement.
The photographer made his mark in 1949 with the series "La Magie du Rail", a black and white railway adventure. Placed in the locomotive, he records with masterly poetry the mechanical odyssey of the steam engine; what he creates at the age of 24 is a cinematographic narrative that imposes the rhythm of another era, the movement takes time, the landscape scrolls to the rhythm of the sleepers and the stone tunnels that mark out the course of the train.
In these images, the whistling and the noise, we feel the steam, the smoke, the heat, the whole soul of train travel. This accurate and poetic view was exalted by René Groebli in 1953 in "L'Œil de l'Amour". In his photographs he conveys the sensual and amorous feelings of the honeymoon in Paris with his wife Rita. It is probably one of the most beautiful declarations of love in the history of photography, created almost twenty years before Nobuyoshi Araki's "Sentimental Jour… | | |

and Galerie Jérôme de Noirmont, Paris. | | | | | | | | ... until 31 July 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Shirin Neshat’s first major exhibition in Canada in 20 years sees the convergence of photography and film, bringing together a range of work in one immersive experience. Stemming from her perspective as an Iranian immigrant living and working in the United States, Land of Dreams focuses on global issues of displacement, migration, and geopolitical conflict.
The exhibition brings together four bodies of work: Roja (2016), Land of Dreams (2020), Women of Allah (1993–97), and Rapture (1999). The selection, made in close collaboration with Neshat, is connected by the prominent use of black-and-white in these photographic and video compositions, and the presence of strong female protagonists. Encountered first in the exhibition, the video work Roja sets the scene for the artist’s recent exploration into dreams, and a more surrealist response to societal and political manifestations and relationships. Roja is part of a trilogy of video installations titled Dreamers and is inspired by one of Neshat’s own dreams where scenes respond to the dark undertones of uprootedness and solitary detachment that result from her choice to remain in exile since 1996.
Roja is a precursor to Neshat’s large-scale and most recent body of work, Land of Dreams. For this expansive project, Neshat travelled across the state of New Mexico in 2019, visiting towns and communities to photograph subjects and ask them to each share a recent dream. The result is an installation of 111 portraits, many of which include illustrations and Farsi texts with the sitter’s name, date, and place of birth. The accompanying two-channel video installation, also filmed in New Mex… | | |

There is absolutely no barrier between her, them, and the camera."
Hugh Weiss, artist and husband of Sabine Weiss
The Casa dei Tre Oci in Venice presents, from March 11 to October 23, 2022, the largest retrospective ever held – and the first in Italy - dedicated to the Franco-Swiss photographer Sabine Weiss, who passed away at the age of 97 at her home in Paris on 28 December 2021, one of the greatest representatives of French humanist photography along with Robert Doisneau, Willy Ronis, Edouard Boubat, Brassaï, and Izis.
The exhibition is the first and most important tribute to her career, with over 200 photographs. Curated by Virginie Chardin, the retrospective is sponsored by the Fondazione di Venezia, realized by Marsilio Arte in collaboration with the Berggruen Institute, and produced by the Sabine Weiss studio in Paris and Laure Delloye-Augustins, with the support of the Jeu de Paume and the International Festival Les Rencontres de la photographie d'Arles.
The only woman photographer of the postwar era to have practiced this profession for such a long time and in every photographic genre - from reportage, artists' portraits, and fashion to ‘street’ photography, with particular attention to children's faces and her extensive travels around the world, Sabine Weiss, who was able to actively participate in the construction of this exhibition, had opened her personal archives in Paris to tell her extraordinary story and present her work for the first time in a comprehensive and structured way. | | |

It will once again be SUPERSTUDIO MAXI in Milan (via Moncucco 35), in zona Famagosta that hosts the XI edition and 97 exhibitors from Italy and abroad, who will bring the best of the photography world to Milan.
MIA Fair will therefore be a place to deepen and amplify the disciplinary fields that it aims to face, concentrating on research and the transversability of the artistic contemporary languages.
As of this edition, MIA Fair is part of the Fiere di Parma group.
“After several years of collaboration during which we were able to verify our elective affinities – says Antonio Cellie, CEO of Fiere di Parma-, we have welcomed with enthusiasm the availability of the Castelli family to become their shareholders to work together on the project of developing and improving MIA Fair’s international exposure. Already from 2023 we have planned several important appoinments abroad which will strengthen the relationship between MIA Fair and its community of buyers and collectors”. | | |
