| | | Exhibition view Daniel Wagener: " opus incertum" © Armand Quetsch / CNA | | | | | | | | 3 July – 24 September 2023 | | | | Opening: Wednesday, 5 July, 7 pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | Daniel Wagener (b. 1988), the winner of the Luxembourg Photography Award 2023, is presenting his exhibition "opus incertum" at Chapelle de la Charité, as part of the Rencontres d'Arles, curated by Danielle Igniti.
"opus incertum" - a term borrowed from Roman masonry, which consists of building walls from small blocks, broken tiles, various bricks - the artist questions the memory of time and place and the social and functional transformations that the Chapelle de la Charité, the religious building and place of worship in which he exhibits, has undergone. He seeks to uncover the layers that have been superimposed and to reconnect the place to contemporaneity.
The in-situ installation is a device of prefabricated shelves, industrial racks, crossing the main nave from left to right, filled with images of contemporary "building sites", urban visions, traces of buildings from the past and the present. This modular image storage warehouse obstructs the view of the altar and, by substituting itself for the object of worship, becomes the plastic interface of a new cult of consumption. The artist questions the nature of the icon in our contemporary society and pushes us to reflect on the place of the spiritual and its intersection with the material. | | |

Unique chemigrams by Chuck Kelton (b. 1952, USA) will dialogue with Sudre's experimental practice entitled "matière et végétale'; delicate, large format collage-inspired tableaux by Laura Letinsky (b. 1962, USA) from her series 'Ill Form and Void Full (2014, never shown in France) will dialogue with Sudre's still life photographs of flowers and bouquets, from the 1970s-80s. | | |

| | RODNEY SMITH
DON JUMPING OVER HAY STACK, MONKTON, MARYLAND, 1999
Signed recto of mount, stamped and inscribed verso vintage print
Gelatin silver print 28 x 32 in
Edition limited to 25 including all sizes | | | | | | | | ... extended until 18 August 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. | | |

| | Ernest Cole
South Africa, 1960s
© Ernest Cole / Magnum Photos | | | | | | | | ... until 17 September 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation is showing South African photographer Ernest Cole’s oeuvre. An important chronicler of apartheid politics, it is the first major exhibition of his works in Germany. In around 130 photographs, it covers all 15 thematic chapters of his eponymous book, "House of Bondage", and also includes works from the chapter "Black Ingenuity", which was not published in the original edition. The presentation is complemented by early original prints, personal documents of the artist, original editions of published series of images in magazines and a filmed interview with Cole from 1969.
Ernest Cole (1940-1990) chronicled the Black majority’s experience during apartheid in South Africa as forcefully and comprehensively as few of his contemporaries. In his photobook "House of Bondage", published in 1967, he captured countless forms of violence and repression, which, as a Black photographer, he was also subject to. He started working as a photographer at the age of 18, aiming to draw global attention to the grievances of his home country. Being classified as "Coloured" allowed Cole freedom of movement and access to various places which the authoritarian regime would not have granted him as a "Black" person. Cole photographed the precarious living conditions of mine labourers and domestic workers in white households, as well as the miserable state of the transport and health sectors. He paid particularly close attention to the children and young people, who, denied proper education, lived in poverty and despair. As a person directly affected, his insights into the life of Black South Africans in the 1960s are harrowing – marked by oppression, arbitrary police action … | | |

| | | | | | | | A STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS | | | | | | | | 3 July – 24 September 2023 | | | | Opening week: 3 - 9 July 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 1970, Arles photographer Lucien Clergue, writer Michel Tournier and historian Jean‑Maurice Rouquette founded the Rencontres d’Arles, an annual photography festival.
At the time, photography was still regarded as a “minor” art and had not come of age. The festival in Arles played an important role in enabling it to gain recognition from institutions. Starting out as a series of encounters between photography enthusiasts, over the years the event gained importance and much popularity, with soaring success in the early 2000s due to a growing public interest in photography.
LEADING ARTISTS
For over 50 years, photography’s greatest names have participated in the Rencontres d’Arles, a veritable breeding ground for new talent. Anticipating medium changes and technologie evolutions, offering the experience of the image to all: these are the festival’s ambitions. Its program is made rich through a diversity of perspectives, with photographers and curators hailing from different backgrounds. Occasionally a whole program section is offered to an artist, as the case for Martin Parr, Raymond Depardon, Nan Goldin and Arles’ own fashion designer Christian Lacroix. At other times, breaking down the divides, photography is made in relation with cinema, music or architecture. Year after year, the festival tries to interpret a changing world through the eyes of photographers, unquestionably the best at telling story.
ART IN THE CITY
Between early July and late September, the public is invited to explore 40 exhibitions at various heritage sites throughout the city, from 12th-century chapels and cloisters to 19th-century industrial buildings and contemporary, if not unexpected sites (such as the Monoprix and its façade, classified 20th-century heritage). | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. | | |
