| Marcin Owczarek VANISHING MOTHERLAND, 2022 66 x 100 cm Fine art print Edition of 10 | | | | 6 May – 10 June, 2023 | | | | | | | | "To tell the truth, I believe that by creating art which transmits serious meanings and subjects, an artist has the power and influence to force to reflect about ourselves and our planet and to point the attention to significant problems that our world currently deals with. In this way my work refers to the creation of a better world, 'home' and respect for all living creatures. In my works I want to stress the fact that nowadays many species of animals are in danger of disappearing and their global population has declined among others tigers, polar bears, sea turtles, elephants, rhinos, pandas." Marcin Owczarek In his mystical collages Marcin Owczarek uses the threat to the animal world to draw attention to the ongoing destruction of our habitat. At the same time, the animals are also a metaphor for humanity with their characteristics and virtues. The encounter with the art of Marcin Owczarek inevitably leads the viewer to refllect on himself and his actions against the background of the enormous and urgent challenges facing humanity, such as climate change and environmental destruction. Owczarek compares the creation of a new artwork to a voyage. He uses thousands of single photographs, each of which he considers with extreme care before commencing the artistic process. He starts by sketching the image he wishes to generate on a piece of paper; a purely conceptual step. He subsequently turns to the computer to 'give birth' to what he wanted to achieve via his sketch, resulting in a collage. Marcin Owczarek (born 1985) studied at the Academy of Photography in Wroclaw, graduating with an award for his cycle “Brave New World“, which presented an idiosyncratic version of a future world.… | |

A special presentation of the Kunstbibliothek - Staatliche Museen zu Berlin in cooperation with the Universität der Künste Berlin | | | | | | | | The exhibition explores the experimental philosophical concept of hyperstition and makes it the starting point for new artistic works by young artists on speculative themes in photography and video. Hyperstition refers to ideas whose expression releases such vibrations that they ultimately realise themselves, similar to a self-fulfilling prophecy. The term was first coined in the 1990s by the interdisciplinary collective Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU) in the UK, whose members published their findings mainly on blogs on the internet. Hyperstition is a neologism made up of the English words 'hyper' and 'superstition'. Unlike superstition - a fiction that remains fictitious - hyperstition is a fiction that makes itself real. An example of hyperstition is virtual economic speculation, which has become a reality-constituting force in capitalism. We live in a complex system of feedback cycles: power supply systems, logistics chains, financial markets, neo-extractivist expansion... Confronted with governance models that are unable to initiate the necessary systemic change, younger generations often find thinking about the future difficult and paralysing. This exhibition is inspired by the idea that imagining the future fictitiously offers a better decoding of one's present than looking at the past. 11 artists are showing 9 works, some of which were created for this exhibition project. Among other things, they deal with new and old thought games from science fiction and digitality, such as our relationship to artificial intelligence and computer simulations or, for example, the glitch as a feminist digital utopia. Online and offline, places are visited on different time level… | |

| Rodney Smith, Erin in Green, Snedens Landing, New York, 2014 | | Rodney Smith » A Leap of Faith | | 6 May – 30 June 2023 | | VERNISSAGE, BOOK SIGNING & CURATOR'S DISCUSSION - SATURDAY MAY 6TH 2-5PM | | | | | | | | Elegant, charming, and stunningly beautiful, Rodney Smith’s fashion photography is a delightful revelation. Mystery and manners, romance and fun—the sophisticated compositions and stylish characters in the extraordinary pictures of fashion photographer Rodney Smith (1947–2016) exist in a timeless world of his imagination. Born in New York City, Smith started out as a photo-essayist, turned to portrait photography, and found his niche, and greatest success, in fashion photography. Inspired by W. Eugene Smith, taught by Walker Evans, and devoted to the techniques of Ansel Adams, Smith was driven by the dual ideals of technical mastery and pure beauty. Best known for his exceptional fashion photographs, Rodney Smith’s life in photography brought him full circle—away from everything that he knew, and then back to the place he so desperately tried to leave behind. Over the course of a successful career that lasted more than 45 years, Smith developed a unique photographic vision, one that is beautiful, ordered, and inhabited by well-dressed ladies and gentlemen. In each of his carefully crafted compositions, Smith banishes the chaos of modern life for another that is grounded in a romantic view of the past. Like Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, he asks us to follow him down the rabbit hole to a fantastical place that is just beyond our reach, but one intended to inspire us to be better versions of ourselves. For Smith, who, like many gifted creatives, suffered from bouts of depression and anxiety, photography was a means of staying engaged with the world around him. It was also a tool for spiritual exploration and self-understanding. -Paul Martineau, Curator of Photography at the J. Paul Getty Museum | |

| Fabrice Monteiro Untitled#14, 2020 From the series The Prophecy, 2013–20 © Fabrice Monteiro, ADAGP, Prix Pictet Coal extraction and coal-fired power plants are among the largest sources of industrial pollution on the planet. Dos Republicas is an open pit coal mine three miles north of Eagle Pass, Texas that has been running since 2013, despite opposition from nearby residents. In addition to contaminating local water sources, polluting air and threatening wildlife, the mine’s coal is shipped to Mexico and burned in some of the dirtiest power plants in the hemisphere. The mine is also destroying sacred burial sites and ancestral homelands, damaging over 100 archaeological sites. | | Prix Pictet: FIRE | | | Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige » Rinko Kawauchi » Sally Mann » Christian Marclay » Fabrice Monteiro » Lisa Oppenheim » Mak Remissa » Carla Rippey » Mark Ruwedel » Brent Stirton » David Uzochukwu » Daisuke Yokota » | | Last days until 7 May 2023 | | | | | | | | Prix Pictet, the world's leading prize for photography and sustainability, is coming to Frankfurt. Fotografie Forum Frankfurt (FFF) presents the exhibition PRIX PICTET FIRE. On display are stirring images on the subject of fire – with high level relevance: "Last summer we were inundated with images of fire at its most frighteningly destructive," writes Sir David King, chairman of the prize jury, in the book accompanying the show. "These were not the harbingers of crisis, they are the thing itself." The 13 exhibited artists present the subject as the most capricious of the elements, its devastating effects, and equally its life-giving ones. The bodies of work shortlisted for PRIX PICTET FIRE draw their inspiration from both major global events and personal experiences. The photographic images span documentary, portraiture, landscape, collage and studies of light and process. The winner of PRIX PICTET FIRE is the American photographer Sally Mann. Her awarded body of work Blackwater (2008–2012) can be seen at the FFF, as well as the works by Joana Hadjithomas und Khalil Joreige (Lebanon), Rinko Kawauchi (Japan), Christian Marclay (USA/Switzerland), Fabrice Monteiro (Belgium/Benin), Lisa Oppenheim (USA), Mak Remissa (Cambodia), Carla Rippey (Mexico), Mark Ruwedel (USA), Brent Stirton (South-Africa), David Uzochukwu (Austria/Nigeria), Daisuke Yokota (Japan). This shortlist was chosen by the jury from more than 600 nominations for Fire by an international panel of experts. The prize, endowed with 100.000 Swiss Francs, has been awarded since 2008 – with the aim of using the power of photography to draw global… | |

| Forever Lasts Until It Ends 2022 © Eric Asamoah | | Eric Asamoah » Forever Lasts Until It Ends | | 4 May – 10 September 2023 | | Opening: Wednesday 3 May 19:00 | | | | | | | | Eric Asamoah (*1999) is a photographer living in Upper Austria who traveled to his parents' country of origin, Ghana, for his latest project Forever Lasts Until It Ends. The images, taken in the north of the West African republic, show adolescents in seemingly tranquil settings and in their relaxed togetherness, resting, reading or making music, with a sense of contemplation embedded in the picturesque landscape of Talensi and Tongo. Community, a collective sense of growing up and independence, time and its transience are central to this analog photographed series. The exhibition of Eric Asamoah's work will be expanded to include the photographic series The Day After Tomorrow, which was created in 2021 and is thus being presented for the first time as part of an exhibition. Up to now, it had appeared exclusively as a publication and was awarded "The Most Beautiful Books in Austria, 2021". Asamoah photographed it in Ghana - in Accra and Kumasi: the sea, palm trees, scenes from city and beach life, and in between, again and again, young men - alone or in groups. The pictures tell of the sensitive phase of transition into adulthood in which they are currently finding themselves. "There is a sense of calm, exploration, and patience in the images, as it seems the subjects are preparing for the day when they will find their peace, the answers, and themselves." - Eric Asamoah For Eric Asamoah, coming to terms with his parents' country of origin is a self-reflexive process, a way of coming to terms with his personal coming of age. | |

| Mike Bourscheid: from the series Mutual Feelings – Sunny Side up and other sorrowful stories | | The hand that topples the tower | | Emoplux | European Month of Photography Luxembourg 2023 | | Mike Bourscheid » Vanessa Brown » | | 6 May – 20 August 2023 | | Opening: Saturday 6 May 11:00 | | | | | | | | During this summer season, the CNA is delighted to present The hand that topples the tower – a two-person exhibition by Vanessa Brown and Mike Bourscheid at Waassertuerm + Pomhouse. From 6 May to 20 August the two different artistic approaches will come together on the emblematic former industrial site in Dudelange to immerse the visitor in a multi-media experience. In the exhibition space at the foot of the tower, Luxembourgish artist Mike Bourscheid will present his new photographic series Mutual Feelings through which he tackles the dichotomies that structure our vision of the world. The interior of the former water tank will be dedicated to the artist’s Sunny Side Up and other sorrowful stories, consisting of a projection of his new film Agnès, in which he takes on different roles, accompanied by sculptures presenting several costumes from the film. Meanwhile, the old pumping station Pomhouse will host Canadian artist Vanessa Brown's >>>000 / Gravity, which includes evocative projections and installations exploring the concept of holes as symbolic representations of human desire, the relativity of time, and our place in the galaxy. | |

| Jeff Weber, Ivy Mike (The Family of Man), 2011-2013 Restoration of photographs from the collection The Family of Man at the CNA by Studio Berselli, 2011-2013. | | Jeff Weber » Image Storage Containers | | Emoplux | European Month of Photography Luxembourg 2023 | | 6 May – 1 October 2023 | | Opening: Saturday 6 May 11:00 | | | | | | | | In 2012, Jeff Weber reproduced a box identical to the one in which the small-scale photographic prints from the exhibition The Family of Man were sheltered from the light, while undergoing restoration. He proceeded to take close-ups of this object, both frontally and under different lighting conditions, then reframed six of the resulting photographs and combined them in a grid, in a serial composition entitled Image Storage Containers. This marks a sharp contrast to the pharaonic project of the The Family of Man exhibition, where the director of MoMA’s department of photography, Edward Steichen, promoted the "visionary" aspect of the photography of his fellow human beings – and the ideal propaganda tool of a supposedly timeless universalism, charged with nationalist fervor. The seriality of Image Storage Containers condenses, soberly and radically, two moments of the myth of photography as a "universal language". In the first, the medium performs a communion of all humanity under the auspices of American imperialism. In the second, the recording of light variations on a simple work tool produces a neutral, uncluttered composition. Image Storage Containers folds a grandiose ideological enterprise into the codes of objectivity of conceptual photography, but above all, inside the shelves of a practical restoration tool. Sensitivity, the material condition of the analogue print, this fragility which is part of life, takes precedence over the folklore of emotions or formal games. - Text by Marie Muraciole: excerpt from WITH from the catalogue Serial Grey - Jeff Weber, published by Roma Publications, in collaboration with Carré d’Art Nîmes and CNA, 2021 | |

| De la série American Diorama – Streets, 2011 © Véronique Kolber | | Saison 2022 – 2023: Kaleidoscope | | Clervaux - cité de l'image enters its new season 2022-2023 with 6 new open-air exhibitions. Co-produced by the Centre national de l'audiovisuel (CNA), this new edition focuses on the diversity of photographic creation in Luxembourg. | | Marie Capesius » Heliopolis (2017-2019) Veronique Kolber » American Diorama – Streets (2011) Boris Loder » Particles, 2016-2019 Bruno Oliveira » Coentro e Cachorros (2018) Marc Schroeder » Corona 2020 – Scenes of the Pandemic (2020) Jeanine Unsen » I love you baby. Portraits de femmes résilientes (2016-2018) | | ... until 9 October 2023 | | | | | | | | Various photographic installations throughout the city of Clervaux transform it into an open-air gallery. Discover the work of national and international contemporary photographers in an extraordinary setting: on the walls of houses, in flowering gardens and along the narrow streets. Six different visions invite us on a journey, each uniquely opening up a world that unfolds in photography and lingers in our imagination. A play of momentary dialogues strikes up between the images, their open air exhibition setting – as it changes with the seasons - and the viewer that contemplates them. The photographers transform the image of the city and the gaze we bring to bear upon it by way of reflections from elsewhere. The 2022-2023 photographic season celebrates the diversity of Luxembourg creation through the work of six contemporary photographers. On the market square, we set out with Bruno Oliveira to Cap Vert, via a documentary collection shot through with personal sensations, while along the rise to the church, Véronique Kolber presents a series of American street scenes, captured through her lens, that resonate in our cinematographic memory. Behind the church, Marie Capesius, by way of calm and sensual images, explores the question of paradise and the contrasts between the two worlds that co-exist on the Ile du Levant. Inspired by the methods of archaeology, Boris Loder collects objects, examines them, and thus condenses the identities of the City of Luxembourg’s various neighbourhoods and their stereotypes into sculptural photographs that can be seen in the arcades of Grand- Rue. On the Castle concourse, we are greeted by Marc Schroeder’s black and white minimalist photographs capturing urban landscapes which seem to follow a strict graphic logic. While in the Castle gardens, the women portrayed by Jeannine Unsen share with us a moment that is both intimate and intense. Thus, by way of these encounters, different paths, readings and connections interweave to keep us questioning. | |

Images by artists such as Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Dorothea Lange, Robert Doisneau, August Sander and Ansel Adams were staged in a modernist and spectacular manner. Having toured the globe and been displayed in over 150 museums worldwide, the last, complete version of the exhibition was permanently installed in Clervaux Castle in 1994. Since its creation, The Family of Man has attracted over 10 million visitors and entered the history of photography as a legendary exhibition. In 2003, the collection was inscribed in the UNESCO Memory of the World register. Today, the restored collection is accessible to the public as a permanent exhibition at Clervaux Castle. www.steichencollections-cna.lu www.thefamilyofman.education/ www.facebook.com/cna.luxembourg www.twitter.com/cna_luxembourg | |

The program features the films Afronauts (2014) by Nuotama Bodomo (Ghana); Ningwasum (2021) by Subash Thebe Limbu (Nepal); Máquina Ancestral: Ureipy (2023) and Karaiw a’e wà (The Civilized, 2022) by Zahy Tentehar (Tentehar-Guajajara, Brazil), and See you later Space Island (2022) by Alice dos Reis (Portugal). Addressing the ways in which imaginaries of outer space travel, space tourism, and cosmic mining continue to naturalize colonization, Back to Earth takes an intersectional approach to new planetary imaginaries. The program invites artists and filmmakers who from their Indigenous, Asian, Black, and feminist perspectives are reflecting on the implications of space exploration for racialized communities –especially as these exploratory endeavors continue to assert technocratic ideas of progress that erase, negate, and disavow the capacity of diverse forms of life to exist and thrive on our planet. Following philosopher Kelly Oliver’s provocative question: “how do we share the Earth with those with whom we don’t share the world?” we have invited conceptions of the world that do not begin from a totalizing view of the globe. Instead, we have centered on views that depart from a broader imagining of worlds-within-the-world. This intersection also highlights how critical visual experiments today can help us rethink our role in building worlds that are grounded on earth, and that are rooted in interdependence, and that foreground mutual accountability.

Commenting on their plans for the 2023 edition, Photo London Founders Michael Benson and Fariba Farshad say: “Looking at the amazing global response to Photo London, and on the back of the announcement of our partnership with Creo to establish a new Fair in New York, we thought this was the right moment to turn the spotlight on Britain. And where better to start than with Martin Parr — the godfather of British photography. Martin is not only a towering figure in the UK photography scene but the British in all their eccentric glory have been his great theme for over half a century. Shot in the brand of heightened colour that Parr has made his own, his photographs are not only individually brilliant, but cumulatively amount to nothing less than a dazzling hymn to the brilliant, slightly bonkers nation that we call home and to the people with whom we live, work and play. More than that though, without Martin Parr’s exemplary practice today’s British photography scene would be much impoverished — and certainly a great deal less fun. So, it is with considerable delight that we will award Martin Parr this year’s Master of Photography. We very much look forward to the exhibition of his recent work for Photo London.” Martin Parr is the eighth recipient of the award, which is presented every year to a living artist who has made an exceptional contributi… | |
