Edition of 8 (+2AP)
Digital print on rag paper
Larger size available 94,6 x 124,6 cm / framed 97 x 127 cm
as part of the total edition of 8 | | | | | | | | 14 March – 25 April 2020 | | | | Opening: Friday 13 March 2020 5pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | Comprising of sculpture, photography and film, and inspired by a series of Eadweard Muybridge collotypes, Wessels’ most recent work explores the motion of obese bodies and the animalistic aspects of the human form. Nude - Arising From The Ground was partly premiered at Art Rotterdam 2019, but this exhibition aims to give time and space for the entire work to be seen.
In autumn 2020, the project will be part of a group show entitled Human After All: Ceramic Reflections in Contemporary Art at Museum Princessehof in Leeuwarden. Other participating artists are Geng Xue, William Cobbing, Klara Kristalova, Kris Lemsalu, Leiko Ikemura, Liliana Porter, Sharon Overmeieren, Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg. Curated by Tanya Rumpff.
Amsterdam-based artist Mariken Wessels (NL, 1963) creates artist’s books, sculptures, installations, photo series and film works. Her multilayered projects offer poignant picture stories, combining appropriated (vernacular) imagery and self-produced images, usually featuring female protagonists struggling with life. Wessels’ works and books have been collected by museums, libraries and private collectors worldwide including; Centre Pompidou (Paris), ICP and MoMA (New York), Bayerische Staatsbibliothek (Munich), Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), Fotomuseum Antwerp (Belgium), and the Verbeke Foundation (Belgium). | | |

Rognes, 2018
c-print, 125 x 167 cm | | | | | | | | ... until 4 July 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the exhibition UTOPIA, Galerie Springer Berlin is presenting new works by Georges Rousse, an artist with whom the gallery has been collaborating since the start of the 1990s. The 'physical interventions' he performs in the spaces portrayed in his photographs continue to fascinate and confuse the observer. Even in the digital age, this fascination lives on. Rousse’s ingenious manipulations using constructions, drawings and panting are more surprising than ever in a world where the boundaries between reality and virtual reality are increasingly blurred. Using colour, light and architectural elements, Rousse transforms the three-dimensionality of the space into a two-dimensional photographic surface. Does reality become vision or vision become reality?
Georges Rousse was born in Paris 1947. He lives and works in Paris and Nice. He received his first camera, a Kodak Brownie, as a gift when he was nine years old. Since then, the camera has never left his side. He left medical school to study photography and printing techniques. After opening his own studio, he dedicated himself to architectural photography.
Later, after discovering 'land art' and Malevich’s Black Square against a white field, Rousse’s relationship to photography changed, and with his unique approach he began to paint abandoned spaces: derelict spaces have long held an attraction for him. Since the early 1980s, he has been linking painting and spatial representation with photography, and from this time he has also chosen to show his photographs in a large-scale format. Rousse has since been working around the world, most recently in India, Brazil and Mexico. Since the late 1980s, his works have been shown in … | | |

| | | Dart, Berlin, DEAF 2008 © Anna Lehmann-Brauns | | | | | | | | ... until 25 September 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Anna Lehmann-Brauns photographs rooms and architectures. She does not consider herself to be an architecture photographer, however, and denies doing documentary work.
Born and based in Berlin, she sees her role as much more akin to that of a director of photography. Just like in film, she creates visual worlds by using light and shadow. Choosing her position carefully, she combines perspectives with subjective, spatial ideas, based on moods and memories.
These are quiet compositions, emphasizing shadows just as much as the lighting conditions they arise from. It is not hard to draw a parallel to the still life of fine art: devoid of human presence, these rooms show only inanimate objects, elements and things silently populating the room.
The soft light often stands in contrast with the content depicted. The photographer takes the viewer into nocturnal and urban decors – cinemas, nightclubs, hotels, film sets. Dynamic, noisy places full of history and movement. Contrasts converge: the darkness of the night competing with the artificial lighting. The clash of these two phenomena defines the work of Anna Lehmann-Brauns. Both worlds flow into each other like a viscous and dull mist, smudging the boundaries of reality.
"Sun in an Empty Room" is not only the name of an image collection, but also a quote, recalling Edward Hopper. The great master was adept at using light and shadow to transfer a sculptural space onto the flat canvas, without losing any of the depth of his motives. The result were chromatic moods which fully integrate into the era whose characteristics they reflect.
The work of Anna Lehmann-Brauns functions in a similar way: light penetrates into and out of the dark room and reveals contemporary s… | | |

© Peter Lindbergh (Courtesy of Peter Lindbergh, Paris) | | | | | | | | ... until 1 June 2020 | | | | Friday 13 March until 21:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Untold Stories is the first ever survey exhibition curated by Peter Lindbergh himself. Born in 1944 and raised in Duisburg, the German photographer spent two years working on an uncompromising collection of 140 photographs that will offer a deep insight into his extensive oeuvre, spanning from the early 1980’s to the present day. The exhibition celebrates the legacy of Peter Lindbergh, who passed away in September 2019, while showcasing this master’s highly personal approach to his work. "The first time I saw my photographs on the walls of the exhibition mock-up, I was startled, but in a positive way. It was overwhelming to be thus confronted with who I am.", Lindbergh explained in an interview for the catalogue in June 2019. The show offers an extensive, first-hand look at images that are usually short-lived; being mostly commissioned and published by monthly magazines such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Interview, Rolling Stone, W Magazine or the Wall Street Journal.
Lindbergh’s comprehension of fashion photography was that it can – and should – exist very well without putting fashion in the centre. His images successfully transcend their own context, redefining the parameters of fashion photography and contemporary culture. "The exhibition allowed me to reconsider my images in a non-fashion context. The presentation aims to open the photographs to different interpretations and perspectives." stressed Lindbergh during the conversation. "However, I don’t try to claim that my pictures aren’t fashion photographs, that wouldn’t be true either. I insist on the definition 'fashion photography' because for me that term doesn’t mean that one has to depict fashion ... | | |

Brooklyn, New York | | | PERSPECTIVES | | | | The new photography collection | | | | | | | ...until 17 May 2020 | | | | Friday 13 March until 21:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the first time an art exhibition in Düsseldorf is dedicated to photography from its early stages through to this day and sets out to unravel the medium’s many facets. This is made possible by the Kunstpalast’s acquisition in December 2018 of more than 3,000 photographs from the collection of Galerie Kicken. In the show comprising around 200 works, avant-garde icons ranging from Man Ray (1890–1976) through to Bernd (1931–2007) and Hilla Becher (1934–2015) are complemented by surprising, lesser known positions, while series of works are juxtaposed with individual pictures.
Rather than following a chronological order, "Perspectives" gives insight into the photography collection by way of different subject areas. The exhibition brings together more than 100 photographers and also incorporates works from the Kunstpalast’s existing holdings of photographs. "With the acquisition of the collection of Galerie Kicken, the historically unique opportunity was seized to secure an extremely high-quality and extensive photography collection that does justice to Düsseldorf’s status as a city of photography.", comments Thomas Geisel, Mayor of the City of Düsseldorf.
"The collection, which was compiled with outstanding expertise by Rudolf and Annette Kicken, forms the most important building block for the collection area of photography in our museum", emphasises Felix Krämer, Director General of the Kunstpalast. "With this addition to the photographic works we already had in our holdings, we now have a remarkable stock that we were able to draw from for this exhibition. I am delighted", Felix Krämer continues, "that with this show we are able to … | | |

| | | | | | | | ... until 2 Aug 2020 | | | | Friday 13 March, 7 pm | Alia Ali with Katie Pfohl, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art on FLUX | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Yemeni-Bosnian artist Alia Ali explores cultures at geographic crossroads. Her work considers how politics, economics and histories collide in fabric patterns and techniques, showing how fabric both unites and divides us. Focusing on wax print fabric—a form with roots in Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Javanese, Dutch and African traditions—FLUX captures the way textiles move and migrate across different cultures. This series of photographic portraits present people who are at once concealed and highly visible, their silhouettes warped by textile patterns, their faces covered over by vibrantly colored fabrics. Surrounded by upholstered frames, these portraits convey both the intimacy of fabric—a material worn close to the body—and the way its seductive colors and prints often obscure the violent colonial histories and exploitative global economies of which it is a part. Reflecting on how wax print came into existence across borders on land and water, FLUX reveals how these histories are woven into the very processes and production of the wax print. The resultant portraits evoke the cultural flux resulting from today’s mass migrations and increasing geopolitical instability across the world. | | |

Pigment print, 100 x 130 cm
Edition of 5 prints
© Maia Flore / VU' and Galerie Esther Woerdehoff | | | Maia Flore » Maia Flore, d'îles en lune | | | | Extract from the book | | | | 12 March – 18 April 2020 | | | Wednesday 11th March 2020, from 6 pm to 9 pm Maia Flore will be signing her new book.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | "Maia Flore's artistic approach is part of a search for coincidences between reality and her imagination. Her universe, created from scratch, translates into moving and bewitching images which are an invitation to share a journey into sweet utopia.
Of her encounter with Saint-Malo during the residence Territoire rèvé Bretagne, made with the poet Albane Gellé, Maia Flore has captured the impermanence of the place. What still exists? What remains in Time? The ever-changing lights, the sea and the movement of the tides with its floods of water and deserts of sand, the rocks sometimes black, sometimes sparkling... create a collection of living, elusive spaces, whose cartography is constantly being reinvented.
In her pictures, the photographer imagines a choreography where her body stands in full frame or gets lost in the immensity, as if to suspend time and catch for us a little of this evanescent magic in a land that is already no longer the same. In her depiction of Saint-Malo, Maia Flore does not recreate the space, she fills it with a gentle nostalgia and retains its almost surreal lunar landscapes from which emerges a universe as intimate as it is universal.”
A member of the VU' agency, photographer Maia Flore was awarded the HSBC Prize for Photography in 2015. Her photographs and Albane Gellé's poems were taken in Saint-Malo as part of the art residency Territoire rèvé Bretagne, Photographie & Poésie, organized by association l'art à l'ouest.
The book D'îles en lune, photographs by Maia Flore and poems by Albane Gellé will be offered for sale at the gallery.

| | | ©René Groebli, Trester Club, No. 603, Zurich, 1947, Courtesy of Bildhalle | | | | | | | | PHOTO BOOK & EXHIBITION | | | | ... until 21 March 2020 | | | | | "Best of 60 Years": First book ever published that comprises 60 years of Groebli’s photographic work with a representative selection in one high quality photo book Limited edition of 800 copies,
300 signed and numbered by the artist Price signed: 148 CHF, price unsigned: 128 CHF Bilingual edition, English – German ISBN 978-3-9525066-3-9 Orders: info@bildhalle.ch |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This photography book is the first-ever presentation of René Groebli’s pictures spanning a good half-century – although with no claim to completeness. Mirjam Cavegn personally selected the pictures, introducing us to the wide spectrum of Groebli’s photography. She produced this publication with her gallery as a tribute to an artist whom she has represented for many years, building friendship with him over the years and devoting several exhibitions to his work.
René Groebli already scaled the Olympus of photographic history with his early work: Rail Magic (1949) and The Eye of Love (1952), and yet his lifework encompasses so very much more. He has spent over six decades in single-minded, experimental pursuit of images that both jog visual assumptions and chart new territory – whether in the four walls of his studio, in his dark room or in his Alsatian country house, whether on the road in London or Paris, Ireland or Peru.
The photographs are not arranged in strict chronological order, but rather represent what might be called a lyrical response to René Groebli’s approach, for his perception of the world is as much felt as it is seen.
Thus, between these pages, we encounter the sizzling eroticism of newlyweds in Paris and eloquent testimonials to the artist’s admiration of his partner Rita. We discover his fascination with movement and speed, brilliantly rendered through blurring and near breakneck angles of view. We encounter the saturated hues of his unique, innovative colour photography, through which even commissioned work becomes timeless art. The visceral poetry of Groebli’s images erupts time and again, touching the very core of our being.

Saturday, 14 March, 12 – 6 pm | Sunday, 15 March, 12 – 4 pm After the Opening Weekend, normal opening hours of each participating exhibition space will apply. | | | | | | | | | | | | | With no limits thematically, düsseldorf photo+ focuses on time-based media art, also offering an overview of the contemporary photography scene in Düsseldorf. Our wide-ranging spectrum of exhibitions featuring the work of German and international artists is complemented by an ambitious programme of supporting and educational events.
As a biennale-to-be, düsseldorf photo+ has an eye to the past, the present and the future of Düsseldorf as a Photo City. düsseldorf photo+ hopes that its première will act as a rallying point, encouraging people to join forces, so that together we can continue to increase the visibility of the great potential that already exists in the city and to develop it into the future.
düsseldorf photo+ is an initiative with its roots in the local arts and photography scene. We are fully convinced that photo-based art can make transformations in the fields of media and social change, in the form of digitalisation and artificial intelligence, more easily accessible and visible and can assist viewers in their critical engagement and aesthetic experience of it. düsseldorf photo+ sees itself as an opportunity to build momentum for the düsseldorf biennial for visual and sonic media, which will take place in 2022.

Silver Street Studios, 2000 Edwards Street, Houston, TX 77007 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Curated by Mark Sealy MBE, Director of the renowned London-based photographic art institution Autograph ABP, African Cosmologies is a large-scale group exhibition that examines the complex relationships between contemporary life in Africa, the African diaspora, and global histories of colonialism, photography, and rights and representation. The exhibition considers the history of photography as one closely tied to a colonial project and Western image production, highlighting artists who confront and challenge this shortsighted, albeit canonized lineage.
Taking its cues from John Coltrane’s avant-garde jazz oeuvre, wherein formal modernisms of the past are made complex by radical imagination and black-futurity, this presentation of diverse ideas, artistic approaches, and material histories proposes a “cosmological exploration” of Africa and the African diaspora — one that defies easy categorization and spatial and temporal boundaries. Succinctly, it explores the very notions of Africa and Africanness beyond traditional geographic and historical lines.
The Biennial artists turn an eye to social, cultural, and political conditions that inform and influence concepts of representation as they pertain to image production and circulation within Africa and beyond. These artists question the ways in which subjectivity is constructed and deconstructed by the camera, and in the process, reveal legacies of resistance by those who defy traditional ideas of sexual, racial, gender-based, and other marginalized identities. | | |
