| | | Dominican Republic 2001 © Desiree Dolron | | | | | | | | 14 October – 18 November 2017 | | | | Opening reception: Sat 14 October 18:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | GRIMM is pleased to present a new solo exhibition by Desiree Dolron (NL, 1963) focused on photographs documenting her extensive travels. The exhibition is a prelude to a larger body of work that will be the subject of a new monograph, scheduled for publication in 2020. The title ‘Forever Someone Else’ refers to a book of selected poems by Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935), a writer, philosopher, mystic and astrologer. Pessoa employed as many as 75 alter egos, referred to as heteronyms, which he deployed at will to disseminate various philosophical and theoretical views. This exhibition reveals a body of work from Dolron never previously exhibited. Included are various self-portraits in such distinct environments that each becomes an alter ego of the artist, functioning much like Pessoa’s heteronyms. The viewer witnesses the artist adapting, changing and evolving with each situation. Starting with works from 1991, the exhibition presents photographs taken in Pakistan and India, depicting Romani, the world’s oldest roaming nomad tribe. The earliest self-portrait in the exhibition features Dolron when she returned to the site in 1997, standing with an AK-47 amidst Taliban child soldiers. In stark contrast is a group of images taken the same year (1997) at the Wigstock drag festival in New York City. Drag queens with big hair, self-made eccentric hats, and triumphant clothing are captured parading down the street. Dolron participates in celebration, posing with one of them in another self-portrait. Three individual images are shown on another wall; a speeding car, symbolizing the American dream, taken in Cuba (2002), a portrait of a beautiful girl from the Dominican Republic gazing melancholically into the camer… | | |

Born and raised in Cologne, in 1921 he opened a photo studio, where he initially took portraits of famous intellectuals, artists, and politicians. In 1926 he began receiving commissions as an architectural photographer for Wilhelm Riphahn, Peter Franz Nöcker, Caspar Maria Grod, and other representatives of avant-garde architecture who implemented Konrad Adenauer’s housing policy for a modern Cologne. Architectural magazines such as Bauwelt, Die Form, and Bauwarte frequently published his works. Their objective, black-and-white austerity gives the deserted buildings and streets in Mantz’s pictures the appearance of monumental backdrops of the modern age. It was these pictures that made Cologne’s modernist architecture renowned beyond the boundaries of the city. In 1932 Mantz opened a second studio in Maastricht, and he moved to the Netherlands in 1938. There he returned to portrait photography and specialized in portraits of children. He saw his portraits as equally important as his architectural photographs, but they have not yet been exhibited. The Museum Ludwig will now bring together these two aspects of his oeuvre and will allow visitors to experience it in its historical breadth and diversity for the first time ever. The exhibition is a joint production with the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam, which holds the extensive collection of Mantz’s photographs from the Netherlands. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue. | | |

| | | František Drtikol, Dancers, 1930 © František Drtikol / Ruzena Knotkova | | | | | | | Photographs from the Collection of Carla Sozzani | | | | | | | | until 15 October 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is rare for a museum to dedicate an exhibition to a private collection. Generally, it is a matter of borrowing a work of art here or there, and discretely indicating the name of the generous lender if the latter does not wish to remain anonymous. With this exhibition, Carla Sozzani, a legendary figure of contemporary elegance, welcomes us into her intimate space. Her collection of photographs, which covers the 20th and 21st centuries, is remarkable in all respects. More than 70 photographs are represented among the 200 prints selected by Fabrice Hergott, director of the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. We find in the show some of the greatest names – Richard Avedon, Horst P. Horst, William Klein, Man Ray, László Moholy-Nagy, Don McCullin, Daido Moriyama, Helmut Newton, Irving Penn, Paolo Roversi, Alfred Stieglitz – and numerous female photographers such as Berenice Abbott, Lillian Bassman, Louise Dahl-Wolfe, Dominique Issermann, Sheila Metzner, Sarah Moon, Leni Riefenstahl and Francesca Woodman. | | |

| | | © Henry Leutwyler, James Gandolfini's (1961 - 2013) Cadillac automobile. | | | | | | | | until 15 October 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Celebrity photography is a genre that never runs out of steam. Portraits of movie stars, artists, statesmen, musicians, athletes… glossy magazines know that success is assured when photography prompts us to dream. Henry Leutwyler (b.1961), a New York photographer of Swiss origins, knows something about this – he who has made portraits of celebrities like Julia Roberts, Michelle Obama or Rihanna, and who works for such prestigious magazines as Vanity Fair, New York Times Magazine, Esquire, Vogue or Time. A product of 12 years of discoveries, the series Document presents itself like a portrait gallery of objects that belonged to celebrities that Leutwyler would have been able to photograph had he been born but a few years earlier! Gandhi’s pocket watch, John Lennon’s glasses (and the weapon that killed him), Andy Warhol’s paintbrush, Mohamed Ali’s boxing shoe, Michael Jackson’s glove, Jimi Hendrix’s guitar, Elvis Presley’s wallet, or James Dean’s hotel room key… Isolated from their contexts and their owners, these objects – icons of the modern world – capture our attention. Authentic and worn, they are material witnesses of their owners, veritable relics of these celebrities as well as a projection of our own collective memory. These still lifes invite us into intimacy with celebrities in unprecedented ways. Leutwyler prompts us to reread differently, with all the unexpected emotional charge that this collection of singular objects entails. | | |

Watermelon. From the series Utopia, 2017
Courtesy Christophe Guye Galerie | | | | | | | | until 15 October 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ina Jang (b.1982), a South Korean artist based in New York, is invited to exhibit her latest project. Through her new series she explores the theme of feminine identity with reference to the fashion image that she also cultivates in her work. Made from images found on Japanese magazine websites, the Utopia series features silhouettes of female bodies in suggestive poses. The artist did not modify the poses or the hair, but we find her signature in the technique of collage and the color treatment. | | |

The artist's personal library, 2017 | | | Photobook - The Cult of the Book | | | | Paris Photo-Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards | | | | until 15 October 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Photobook show inscribes itself in the wake of L’art se livre, a 2014 exhibition dedicated to art and artists’ books. In the framework of this photographic season, the museum focuses on the cult of the photography book, a phenomenon more current than ever. Since the early 1990s, the number of publishers interested in photography has not stopped growing, while digital technologies have placed editing tools directly in the hands of photographers. As much at the level of its content as of its form, the photobook is now venturing in directions that would have been inconceivable 15 or 20 years ago. As for its distribution, it has found new networks through the internet, new publishing houses, and various specialized exhibitions. For photographers – of all generations – publishing a book is like having a passport for the international scene. Whether hand made or resulting from the latest technologies, a book is the result of decisions that do not change over time: choice of visual and textual content, cover, format, layout, paper, binding, type of printing, etc. These different elements must articulate themselves coherently. Published by large publishing houses or at the author’s own expense, printed by the thousands or in limited edition, the photography book is also a collector’s item for photographers, who are themselves assiduous buyers of photobooks. Sixteen photographers have thus agreed to reveal a few glimpses of their personal library. The exhibition, realized in collaboration with Darius Himes, International Head of the Photographs department at Christie’s, and co-author of the book « Publish your Photography Book », proposes to pay homage to the photobook. | | |

| | | Piotr Wojcik. Mariola Poddebska. 2015 | | | Piotr Wójcik » Katowice 150+1. Witness of Changes | | | | 13 October – 5 November 2017 | | | | Opening reception: Thursday 12 October 19:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Polish Institute in Moscow and The Lumiere Brothers Center for Photography present a multimedia “portrait” of the dynamic Katowice city that celebrated the 150th anniversary of its founding last year. Katowice is the capital of Silesia, industrial center of Europe in the 19-20th centuries. Together with 13 neighboring towns Katowice constitute the largest metropole in Poland and the unique Agglomeration in Europe - Upper Silesian Industrial Region - which accounts for over 3 million people. Katowice is one of the brightest examples of a European city that underwent successful transformation from an industrial and mining province into a cultural, science and business center. It is an actively developing city with one of the lowest unemployment rates in Poland. Katowice is the most multinational city in Poland boasting rich history and unique architecture. Piotr Wójcik made 150 portraits/ interviews of Katowice citizens, and guest artists made 15 landscapes photographs and videos of the places chosen by the citizens. The contrast between the industrial past of Katowice and its present life shows through versatile stories told by the heroes. They appear surprising, and their thoughts and ideas reveal new vision of the city and its citizens. Portraits were taken in different parts of Katowice, each connected with the main characters of the projects and chosen by them. These photographs show people in urban environment as well as in intimate, home environment. Portraits share common stylistic approach and differ in their content. Photographs were shot with black-and-white film. City landscapes were photographed in different seasons and at different times of the day. And they are irreproachably true to their objects.

| | | Raghubir Singh (Indian, 1942–1999). Pavement Mirror Shop, Howrah, West Bengal, 1991. Chromogenic print, 19 1/2 × 29 1/2 in. (49.5 × 74.9 cm). Collection of Cynthia Hazen Polsky. Photograph copyright © 2017 Succession Raghubir Singh. | | | | | | | | 11 October 2017 – 2 January 2018 | | | | Opening reception: Wednesday 11 October 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exhibition will trace the full trajectory of the color street photography pioneer’s career from his early work as a photojournalist in the late 1960s through his last unpublished projects of the late 1990s. Using a handheld camera and color slide film, Singh recorded India’s dense milieu in complex frieze-like compositions, teeming with incident, fractured by reflections, and pulsating with opulent color. He embraced color as part of a continuous Indian aesthetic tradition that reaches back to the miniature paintings of the Mughal period, while being also deeply influenced by the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson (whom he met in Jaipur in 1966), Bengali filmmaker Satyajit Ray, and American street photographers such as William Gedney and Lee Friedlander. | | |

| | | © Clément Cogitore / ADAGP, Paris 2017 | | | Clément Cogitore » Braguino or the impossible community | | | | until 23 December 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clément Cogitore visited Braguino twice (in 2012 and 2016), « Braguine’s place » in Russian, taken from the name of a family of ‘Old Believers’ living in a handful of huts lost in the middle of the Taiga deep in the heart of Siberia, 700 km from the nearest village. He went to Braguino to try to solve the mystery of Sasha’s drive to move to there with his family over thirty years ago, in the hope of living in peace, and constructing a completely self-sufficient lifestyle. However, very rapidly this paradise becomes the scene of an open battle between two families who cannot live side by side, who cannot agree to a shared way of life. This impossible community is the central axis of Clément Cogitore’s film, photo and sound work. Plunged into darkness, the installation at LE BAL is like total immersion for the visitor, at the heart of a narrative in several acts, each one a filmed fragment revealing another intrigue, each one with its own rhythm, place and action : arriving in Braguino by helicopter, Sacha’s dream, a bear hunt, the mysterious island where the children roam free, all build to the intense crescendo of an armed conflict. All of which throws us into a twilight world, as do the large, luminous photos in muted tones that track this journey. With truly archaic dramaturgical prompts, Clément Cogitore evokes the conflictual tenets of the great myths. Braguino relates the experience of a two-pronged dilemma: to escape or stay put, to build something together, or destroy oneself. Far more than a mere ethnographical study, Clément Cogitore tells a cruel tale that echoes ‘the tipping point of our civilisation’. | | |

107 x 159 cm | | | | | | | Traveller photography around the Mediterranean Sea | | | | | | | | until 20 November 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The group exhibition "MARE NOSTRUM" literally explores the Mediterranean Sea; in particular, the multifaceted interconnections between mythology, cultural histories, science, culture, and trade – and presented in the spirit of a 'pars pro toto'. The Greek myths situate the paradisiacal Garden of Eden in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea in a time before the Atlantic floods submerged the land. The exhibition begins with an art flight case created by the renowned French artist Patrick Raynaud. Informed by the iconic painting, "Eva Prima Pandora" by the Renaissance painter Jean Cousin – highlighting his vision of paradise – Raynaud has packed the iconic Pandora into this flight case and in its original size. Albumen photography created between 1850 and 1890 by well-known photographers residing in North Africa, Egypt and other countries around the Mediterranean Sea are also on show. These images depict Egyptian temples, pyramids, famous ancient cities such as Damascus, impressions of North Africa, Istanbul and Cairo and highlight places that were important to the likes of Antonio Beato, the Zangaki Brothers, Felix Bonfils, Emile Fréchon and others. Current concerns surrounding the Mediterranean Sea are addressed through the video-Installation "Aller-Retour" (Round Trip) by the Spanish-American conceptual artist, Antoni Muntadas; the archeological research of Anne and Patrick Poirier; Silvie Defraouis’ Stories of a Summertime and the works of Uwe H. Seyl and Barbara Armbruster. Images by Guido Mangold, which portray impressions of the Orient, complete the exhibition. | | |

| | | | Elizaveta Porodina » BILDERBUCH:
THE PICTUREBOOK OF ELIZAVETA PORODINA | | | | 11 October - 16 December 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | A room coloured in an intense Yves Saint Laurent blue, windows with a view on the sky and the sea, and in the center a dance pole with a man swinging on it – it’s Maurice Ernst from Bilderbuch. Under the direction of Elizaveta Porodina the four members of Austrian cult band are dancing in a set of mirrors, smartphones, a vacuum cleaner, golden cups and a cat – inviting viewers to their »Bungalow« (2017). The popular music video is not the only result of the collaboration between the 30-year-old photographer and the internationally acclaimed Viennese band. Image campaigns, portrait shoots and most recently the hit video for »Baba« (2017) also originated from the liaison with Porodina. Invariably, the photographer creates particular, self-consistent, often bizarre-looking dream worlds, where every detail and colour are a perfect match. OstLicht Gallery presents an exhibition of upcoming artist Elizaveta Porodina, whose work firmly positions itself at the interfaces of fashion, portrait and documentary photography. Born in 1987 in Moscow, she moved with her family in 2000 to Munich, where she studied clinical psychology. At the same time, she worked in different fields of visual media such as illustration, drawing or digital painting, until she turned to photography at the age of 22. Overwhelmed with happiness, which she felt during her first Lookbook photo shoot for a young designer, she decided to devote herself entirely to photography. In addition to her photographic work for Vogue, Hugo Boss, Louis Vuitton & Co, Porodina has inspired people beyond the fashion world with her personal projects and her atmospheric, iconic portraits.

Hybrid photography, archival pigment print, aludibond, diasec, custom-made aluminium frame | | | Clouds ⇄ Forests | | | | 7th Moscow International Biennale of Contemporary Art | | | | | | | – 18 January 2018 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 7th Moscow International Biennale of Contemporary Art takes place in the New Tretyakov Gallery (The State Tretyakov Gallery, 10, Krymsky Val, Moscow) from 19 September 2017 to 18 January 2018. The Main Project Clouds⇄Forests is curated by Yuko Hasegawa - one of the leading curators in the international art world - and includes 52 artists from 25 countries. The concept of Clouds⇄Forests focuses on a new eco-system formed through the circulation of "Cloud Tribes" born on the Internet cloud space, and "Forest Tribes" born in an analogue world. Works of the artists in the Main Project are displayed in dialogue with works from the permanent exhibition of The State Tretyakov Gallery. Michael Najjar » has been invited to participate in the Biennale with several large-scale artworks from his celebrated "outer space" series. On view for the first time will be his "liquid time" triptych, created especially for the Biennale. This work highlights the fragility of our ecological balance and the significance of the change of state from ice to water because glaciers are storehouses of time - layer on layer they capture the air, water and oxygen of countless thousands of years. The picture was taken in early 2017 in an ice cave under the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier in Iceland.
Also on view, in the All-Russian State Library, will be Michael Najjar´s striking new video artwork "terraforming". The work focuses on transformation of a natural environment through energy input and combines footage taken on various locations in Iceland in early 2017 with Martian landscapes shot by NASA´s Curiosity Mars rover. | | |
