| | | Tophane, İstanbul, 1958 © Ara Güler / Ara Güler Museum. | | | Ara Güler » A Play of Light and Shadow | | | | 23 June – 8 November 2023 | | | Opening of the new exhibitions by Ara Güler and by Ece Gökalp on Thursday 22 June.
You are welcome from 20.00 until 22.00 hrs for this festive event with free entrance, drinks, and music by the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra | | |  | | | | | | | | | | This summer Foam is thrilled to unveil the exhibition A Play of Light and Shadow, a tribute to Ara Güler, one of Turkey's most legendary photographers. His profound love for İstanbul and Turkey is evident from his evocative black and white photographs. The exhibition is a close collaboration between Foam, co-curator Ahmet Polat and the Ara Güler Museum.
The exhibition provides the opportunity to explore iconic and unknown parts of Ara Güler’s oeuvre as a renowned photojournalist who captured the essence of Turkey and the world beyond. Through four sections, The Iconic, The Historic, The Ambassador, and The Personal, the visitor is immersed in Güler’s photographic practice from his iconic work as a photojournalist to his remarkable experimental work. Ara Güler A Play of Light and Shadow serves as a testament to Turkey's rich history and offers a glimpse into the ever-evolving Turkish identity.
Ara Güler (1928-2018) was a prominent photojournalist and a driving force in Turkish photography. Celebrated as ‘The Eye of İstanbul’, his poignant black and white images of this city’s inhabitants, streets and docks remain his most celebrated works. Ara Güler immortalized numerous famous artists and political figures throughout his illustrious career. | | |

© Ece Gökalp. | | | | | | | | 23 June – 8 November 2023 | | | | Opening of the new exhibitions by Ara Güler and by Ece Gökalp on Thursday 22 June. | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ece Gökalp's exhibition in Foam 3h revolves around two major events that took place in the Northeast of Turkey. With this project, Gökalp sheds light on conflicts related to cultural heritage, ecological devastation, and the complexities of changing geography due to historical events through in-depth research, photography, and archival material.
Gökalp's main interest is the theory of photography. She explores the controversy surrounding photography, the photographic gaze, and the indexicality of photography in various contexts. She also investigates how photography can shape our perception of different places.
Ece Gökalp is a visual artist from Istanbul. She studied photography and video at YTU in Istanbul and spent a semester at the Graphic Design Department of the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague with an Erasmus scholarship. Later, she went to Berlin to study Art in Context at UdK Berlin.
Ece Gökalp has been part of many group exhibitions, mostly in Istanbul and Berlin. In 2017, she had her first solo exhibition in Apartment Project Berlin, followed by her second solo exhibition in Istanbul, with her master thesis project in 2018. | | |

| | | Ralph Gibson, aus der Serie Days at Sea, 1974 © Ralph Gibson | | | | | | | | ... until 20 August 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | This wide-ranging exhibition by the photographer Ralph Gibson (*1939) presents the development of his work from the 1960s to the present day based on selected series. The exhibition is being developed in a direct collaboration between the artist and the curator, Dr. Sabine Schnakenberg, and is composed of some 300 analogue and digital works in black and white and color from the artist’s private collection as well as works that the collector F.C. Gundlach acquired during his collaboration with Ralph Gibson in the early 1980s for his private photography collection, which is now on permanent loan to the House of Photography at the Deichtorhallen.
Ralph Gibson is one of the most interesting American photographers of our time. His international renown is based on his exceptional work, which is shown and collected by some of the world’s leading museums, including the Museum ofModern Art in New York, the J.P. Getty Museum in Los Angeles, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, the Creative Center for Photography in Tucson, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris, and the Fotomuseum Winterthur in Switzerland.
Gibson’s works, which he has created since the early 1960s, completely contradict the conventional purpose of the medium of photography: the meticulous depiction of so-called reality. Gibson is not interested in photographic documentation, and instead understands photography as an aesthetic endeavor. A leitmotif of his work comes from the original meaning of the word “photography”: drawing with light. Gibson needs light not only as a material prerequisite for creating each of his photographs; light itself becom… | | |

| | Ursula Schulz-Dornburg
'Memoryscapes, St Petersburg, Russia', 2000
Photograph; Diasecâ
148 x 208 cm
© Ursula Schulz-Dornburg | | | | | | | | ... until 1 July 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Memoryscapes is a solo exhibition by the German artist Ursula Schulz-Dornburg, realised in collaboration with Lucy Rogers.
In 2012, Ursula Schulz-Dornburg travelled to north-eastern Kazakhstan to photograph the remains of the Soviet Union's largest nuclear weapons programme. Located in a vast area south-west of the city of Kurchatov, Opytnoe Pole was once a top-secret open-air laboratory, used to measure and record the devastating effects of nuclear weapons. Taken almost twenty years after the closure of the facility, Schulz-Dornburg's photographs portray a desolate landscape, devoid of life and still suffering the effects of radiation. The area was looted after its closure in 1991 – an act which inadvertently dispersed radioactive material across the continent – and later subject to an intensive clean-up operation by the Kazakh, Russian and US authorities. It is a landscape still laden with the artefacts of an architecture built to be destroyed.
Born in Berlin in 1938, Schulz-Dornburg grew up in the aftermath of the Second World War – in a divided Germany and an era defined by new borders in Europe and elsewhere. Since the 1970s, she has sought out places of transit and borderlands, locations geographically and politically caught up in a state of in-between, where multiple layers of history intersect, coexist and collide. Reflecting the lands in which she has travelled, her archive reveals a constellation which extends beyond the scope of individual images – an entanglement of narratives which overlap in time and space. Exhibitions and publications become a method for thinking through the archive, bringing together new and familiar works into new combinations and sequences. | | |

| | Soirée privée, Paris, 1981
© Patrick Zachmann / Magnum Photos | | | | | | | | ... until 20 August 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | «Est-on juif quand on ignore sa religion et sa culture ? » De la fin des années 1970 au début des années 1990, le photographe français Patrick Zachmann (né en 1955) mème une enquête sur les Juifs de France, à la recherche de sa propre identité. De Paris à Marseille, des plus orthodoxes aux plus laïques, des grossistes en textile dans le quartier du Sentier au dernier typographe du quotidien communiste publié en yiddish Naye Prese , il saisit les différentes facettes de la judaïcité française alors que, à partir des années 1980, pour la première fois depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale, se produisent en France des attentats antisémites.
Pressentant ce que l’on nommera bientôt l’« ère du témoin », il assiste au premier rassemblement de survivants de la Shoah à Jérusalem en 1981.
Membre depuis 1985 de la prestigieuse agence Magnum, il fait parallèlement de nombreux reportages hors de France. Son activité le mène ainsi en Afrique du Sud pour la libération de Nelson Mandela ; au Chili sur les traces des anciens camps de prisonniers politiques ; au Rwanda d’où, six ans après le génocide des Tutsis, il rapporte des portraits de survivants. C’est aussi l’année où il fait le voyage à Auschwitz-Birkenau, où furent assassinés ses grands-parents paternels, juifs polonais apatrides, immigrés en France dans l’après Première Guerre mondiale, arrêtés et déportés en 1942. En contrepoint, dans les années 2010, il retourne en Pologne et en Ukraine où il suit de joyeux pèlerinages hassidiques, comme autant de rites « hors du temps ».
Enfin, il fait le … | | |

| | LAURA STEVENS
Act One (2023)
Archival pigment print 50x65 cm |
| | | | | | | | ... until 30 July 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Galerie Miranda is delighted to present the second solo exhibition by artist Laura Stevens, entitled Tu oublieras aussi (You will also forget).
One of France’s most solicited portrait photographers, in her personal projects Stevens explores a resolutely feminine and contemporary point of view of the private sphere, questioning notions of desire, the passing of time, solitude and loss, the connection between the artist and her subject. For her first exhibition at Galerie Miranda, Corps d'hommes (2020), Stevens presented her perspective on the male nude, photographed in the private space of her Paris apartment bedroom. For this second exhibition, she pursues her questioning of the intimate sphere but this time considers two bodies, lovers, and what binds them, asking herself the question of the memory of desire and how to represent it.
Until now, the history of erotic photography has largely been written by and for men (Araki, Newton, Molinier, Mapplethorpe…), for the most part with explicit and performative images within a dominant-dominated framework. Several women photographers have made a mark in this territory but in general with a transgressive or militant posture (Krull, Natalia L, Ionesco, Cahun) that doesn’t fundamentally offer an alternative to the status quo. Fortunately, the list is longer of landmark women artists in other fields of photography - documentary, conceptual and experimental.
Confronted by the weight of these historical signatures, Laura Stevens quietly follows her own path, one that is feminine, free and egalitarian. In the tradition of Anglo-Saxon women photographers of the private sphere, such as Jo Ann Callis, Nan Goldin, Lise Sarfati and Mona Kuhn, Laura Stevens proposes a… | | |

Drawing on her childhood and discussions with her mother, Stefanie Moshammer designed an installation to evoke the particular characteristics of this addiction through a variety of media, including photography, videos, textiles, scientific studies, advertising and screenshots.
Each Poison, A Pillow also gave rise to a book published by Éditions Images Vevey. | | |

The artist used texts and images to explore myths and beliefs of various cultural origins, alongside unsettling statistics on the way of life for girls and women during their menstrual cycle. Displaying both research and visual metaphors, the installation allows a better comprehension of the tragic repercussions of miseducation and silence regarding the menstrual calendar. | | |

When his work is hung on a wall, the ambient air flow gently moves the 98 unbound lightweight sheets of paper, recalling the original photograph of four people and a sheaf of papers swept away by the wind, a scene inspired by a woodcut by the Japanese artist Hokusai. | | |

For his Master’s project, he built a pristine white cube inside his bedroom and, every day for almost two months, he locked himself inside it. As he repetitively and obsessively triggered the shutter release, he put his body’s limits to the test to experiment with the apparatus. This performative and conceptual approach resulted in Container, a project that questions the alienating relationship between a photographer and their camera. | | |

The largest outdoor photography festival in Europe will take place
from 15 June until 15 October 2023.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | REBELLIOUS AND DEEPLY ROOTED IMAGES OF HOPE FROM THE ORIENT!
A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY BETWEEN LIGHT AND SHADOW.
ORIENT! focuses on photographers from Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three countries that all belong to the Persian cultural area. Three predominantly Muslim countries with Indo-European populations that remain subject to the laws of religion and obscurantism. Three countries that we know little about, although they have captured the hearts of all travellers like Marco Polo. Three countries whose photographers are the defenders of positive thinking and ambassadors of environmental awareness. Three countries that are home to a millennia-old civilisation, a unique artistic creativity and courageous authors who have chosen photography to define their place in society. Photographers from these countries have always chosen to break conventions in order to develop an innovative style and look at people and gods with a humanistic eye. Honour to whom honour is due: Abbas, Gohar Dashti and Hamed Noori, Ebrahim Noroozi, Maryam Firuzi, Hashem Shakeri, Paul Almasy, Véronique de Viguerie, Fatimah Hossaini, Shah Marai and Wakil Kohsar, Sarah Caron.
Since its inception, the festival has never wavered from its mission to show the beauty of nature as well
as to address the need to protect it. Through the prism of photography, we aim to highlight the challenges of a sustainable world without naivety. At the same time, the sometimes dramatic reality is never disregarded. All photographs are signs of our unshakeable belief in the future. The photographers at
our festival are determined to be witnesses and part of the effort to preserve our most beautiful common asset - planet Earth: Mélanie Wenger, Bernard Descamps, Gabriele Cecconi, Stephan Gladieu, Money Sharma, Reporters Without Borders, Brigitte Kössner-Skoff and Gerhard Skoff, Antonin Borgeaud, Jérôme Blin, Alisa Martynova, Maxime Taillez, Chloé Azzopardi.
This year, the bilateral photo project of the Morbihan schools in Brittany and Lower Austria is dedicated to the theme of openings. Whether in the literal or figurative sense, the concept of opening also encompasses communication and journeys to new places or people. Ultimately, it raises the question of the construction of our individual and collective identity and our relationship with others.
Photography undoubtedly remains the most incisive tool for changing public opinion and for preserving glimmers of humanity. The Austrian photographers Rudolf Koppitz and Horst Stasny also stand in this tradition. From Gregor Schörg, the festival will show the second part of his work on the wilderness area Dürrenstein-Lassingtal. The exhibition of Lower Austrian professional photographers and the exhibition of the winning photos of the world's largest photo competition, CEWE's "Our World is Beautiful", with almost 700,000 pictures from 170 countries, will round up the festival, as will the retrospective of 2021 in the pictures of the artist in residence Pascal Maitre. In addition, the Austrian photographer Cathrine Stukhard was commissioned to portray the World Heritage Site of Vichy and place it in the context of UNESCO's eleven "Great Spa Towns of Europe", which also include Baden near Vienna.
Under the guiding principle of Culture of Solidarity, the cooperation with the festival partners Garden Tulln, Celje in Slovenia and Month of Photography Bratislava will continue in 2023. | | |

Bienal’23 co-artistic directors Jayne Dyer and Virgílio Ferreira invited 70 artists and 14 guest curators in 14 locations in Porto, transforming them into dynamic creative spaces where visitors are invited to participate in artistic ‘Acts of Empathy’.
Bienal’23 explores our ability to feel, collaborate and drive change through artistic acts of connectivity, reparation, and healing via CONECTAR, EXPANDIR, SUSTENTAR, VIVIFICAR (Connect, Expand, Sustain, Vivify), four sections that intersect local and global perspectives.
While SUSTENTAR features creative laboratories in Portuguese urban centers that look into urban and regional sustainability issues, VIVIFICAR, through artistic residencies with communities, addresses one of the most pressing issues in low-density territories: the settlement of populations. Because these two sections demand concrete solutions and actions, EXPANDIR brings an experimental dimension by presenting academic and professional socio-ecological initiatives for emerging artists. CONECTAR fosters diverse cultural and artistic ecosystems through the interchange of exhibition projects, ideas, and transdisciplinary practices on a national and worldwide scale.
Bienal'23 features projects that are supported by deliberate artist engagement in community and environmental activities in order to foster reparative acts and empathy for the future. | | |
