in the presence of the artist. | | |  | | | | | | | | | | Foam is thrilled to present the first large-scale retrospective of the Dutch fashion photographer and artist Viviane Sassen in the Netherlands. The exhibition PHOSPHOR: Art & Fashion, which comprises more than 200 works, reveals over thirty years of her multifaceted career bringing together photography, collage, painting and video. The exhibition serves a significant homecoming for Sassen, following her first museum showcase at Foam in 2008 titled Flamboya.
The Dutch contemporary artist Viviane Sassen rapidly gained worldwide recognition, both in the fashion industry and in the photography world. Her distinctive and eclectic visual oeuvre will fill almost the entire building of Foam. This exhibition will shed light on Sassen’s creative process by focusing on two main themes: the incessant search for new photographic forms and the importance of intimacy in her work.
The exhibition features iconic series, including Flamboya (2008), Umbra (2014) and Parasomnia (2011), along with unseen archives, mixed-media works that blend photography, painting, collage and video.
Sassen's fashion photography for brands such as Louis Vuitton and Dior will be presented in a monumental installation. Early experiments with objects from her personal archives, her initial self-portraits, and her final photo project from her studies illustrate the beginnings of Sassen's visual language. These images are being showcased for the first time in the exhibition PHOSPHOR: Art & Fashion.
Sassen's oeuvre explores both the depths of human emotion and the boundaries of artistic expression. Death, sexuality, desire and connection with others are all motifs that structure her work. Renowned for her adept u… | | |

Through a close examination of Wilson’s prose and Weston’s photographs, Connell enriches our understanding of the couple and weaves their stories together with her own artistic practice. Using their publications and archives as a guide, Connell and her former partner, Betsy Odom, traveled to locales where Wilson and Weston lived, made work, and spent time together. Along the way, Connell collaboratively made photographs of Odom that upend conventional notions of photographer and muse. She also photographed, in a raw and less idealized manner, the grand Western landscapes that Weston made iconic seventy-five years before.
The exhibition will include more than forty of Connell’s recent large-format portrait and landscape photographs, along with dozens of Weston’s classic figure studies and landscapes made between 1934 and 1945, one of his most productive periods and the span of his relationship with Wilson. Four of Connell’s photographs in the exhibition are drawn from the High’s collection, exemplifying the museum’s recent commitment to growing its holdings of work by queer artists. | | |

Mitchell rose to global prominence in 2018 when he photographed Beyoncé for the September issue of Vogue as the first Black artist to shoot the cover in the magazine’s then 126-year history. He explores style, beauty, and identity through playfully theatrical, expressive photographs that seamlessly blend his fashion and conceptual work.
Drawing inspiration from the landscapes, homes, and communities of suburban Atlanta where he was raised, this homecoming exhibition features work made from 2017 to 2024 and considers Mitchell’s exploration of themes such as family lineage, play, companionship, the natural world, and domestic spaces. His lens captures the essence of relationships, weaving an intimate narrative of shared experiences. | | |

| | | Serie With You (part 3), 2022 © Sanja Marušić | | | Saison 2023 – 2024: FORMENSPRACHE | | | Free access to the outdoor exhibitions, daily, all year | | | | | | | Last Days ... until 7 October 2024 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clervaux - Cité de l'image enters its new season 2023-2024 with 6 new open-air exhibitions.
We dive into a world full of fantastic forms, approaches, themes and techniques. The six photographers invited this year use their own formal language to express emotions, convey stories or present certain concepts. In this open-air exhibition, the focus is on playing with contrasts, experimenting with techniques or on the most diverse stylistic elements.
With depictions of fundamental themes in the life of a young woman, the artist Sanja Marušić attracts full attention with her colourful photographs on the market square. Heading towards the church, we pass the arcades with the photographic works of Christine Erhard, which have been developed out of a sculptural process in her studio. Opposite the church, Thaddäus Biberauer takes us on his journeys through nature. The snapshots, almost painterly in scene, invite us to dream. In Steph Meyer's works, the focus is on the photograph and the viewer. The picture within the picture, in which the viewers in the arcades of the Grand-Rue are included in the snapshot of the documented photo exhibition or even become voyeurs. On the castle plateau, Liz Lambert gives us a deep insight into her very personal story. In a poetic and partly symbolic way, she explores the questions of how relationships come into being and develop. In Tina Lechner's works in the garden of the castle, she focuses on the exploration of identity and the female body. Covered with self-produced props, this becomes a retrofuturistic sculpture.
Through their creative and poetic manner, the photographers a… | | |

Gelatin silver print
© Gerry Johansson | | | | | | | | 20 September – 2 November 2024 | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several common denominators found throughout Gerry Johansson’s work that become apparent with even casual viewing. Some of those shared characteristics are obvious at first glance, for instance; the physicality of several of Johansson's books and exhibition print sizes, the apparent use of traditional analog materials; while other traits like the sense of stillness, the seeming perpetual daylight, and the camera's steady almost drone-like orientation to the world set an underlying commonality. Perhaps a trait most recognizable is his choice of working primarily in black and white.
The "America" photographs began when Johansson's parents sent him to New York after finishing his schooling in Varberg Sweden. Those early pictures inspired by the energies of the city (and the pulse of jazz!) might appear as an artist finding their voice through exploring a loosened documentary style tangential to Garry Winogrand, or perhaps more closely Ray K. Metzger, yet the year 1962 places Johansson right in their midst, not successor. The few examples included here taken with a small-format 35mm camera, are characterized by a tonal scale that allows shadows to swallow some detail and highlights to succumb to atmospheric fog: a grouping of men riding a ferry on New York's Hudson River are reduced to simple silhouettes against a fading Manhattan skyline; a maintenance worker on a ladder contrasted with New York's most famous landmark, the Empire State Building, emphasizing the dizzying verticality of the city through a patchwork of shadow and light. Though authentic and drawn directly from the real world, there is a dreamlike quality to these works that evolved into the "translucid clearness" that signifies Johansson's practice today.
What I find refreshing about Johansson's work is the sense one feels of his enjoyment of moving through an unfamiliar landscape and simply taking in what is before him. The work seems formed not in the mind first, but through the physical footsteps he takes and directness at which he looks.
- Text by Jeffrey Ladd
Gerry Johansson, born 1945 in Örebro, lives in Höganäs, Sweden. Johansson studied graphic design in Gothenburg in the late 1960s. His work has been exhibited at distinguished museums and institutions internationally, including the Kunsthalle Rostock in Germany; Museum of Modern Art in Bogota, Colombia; Hasselblad Center in Göteborg and the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Sweden. Johansson has produced a large number of books including the recently published "Spanish Summer" and "American Winter", both MACK and was awarded the Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s Award and the prestigious Lars Tunbjörk Prize. | | |

2024 will mark the centenary of one of the most fascinating and influential artistic movements of the 20th century. A hundred years ago, indeed, André Breton published the Surrealist Manifesto. The Centre Pompidou, which is preparing to celebrate this anniversary with a major exhibition, "Le Surréalisme d’abord et toujours"", has launched a call for projects - "A Surrealist Season in Paris" - to which Les Douches la Galerie has decided to respond.
This will be an opportunity for the public to (re)discover a unique experimental work, composed mainly of superimposed images of characters in motion that present a dreamlike weightlessness associated with surrealism. The works of Val Telberg, who also created paintings, sculptures, and films, are part of numerous international public collections, including that of the Centre Pompidou. Four of his photomontages were, in fact, exhibited during the collective exhibition "Corps à Corps – Histoire(s) de la photographie".

| | | | | | | | 12 September – 10 November 2024 | | | | Opening: Wednesday, 18 September, 6pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Revolving Doors" is a series of works created by Man Ray early in his career in the United States around 1916-1917, before he moved to Paris in 1921 and became a central figure in the Dada and Surrealist movements.
This series accompanied Man Ray throughout his long career: initially created as a series of colored paper collages around 1916, it was exhibited in New York at the Daniel Gallery in 1919 and later featured in the 1935 edition of the Surrealist magazine Minotaure. The series was reproduced using stencils and published as lithographs in 1926 by Surrealist editions, and again in 1972 by publisher Luciano Anselmino, which served as inspiration for tapestries created in 1973 by Frédérique Bachellerie and Peter Schönwald.
"Revolving Doors" perfectly illustrates Man Ray’s avant-garde and experimental spirit, known for his significant contributions to the Dada and Surrealist movements. Created within the context of the Dada movement, which rejected the artistic and social conventions of the time, Revolving Doors embodies this spirit of rebellion in search of modernism, challenging traditional notions of art and beauty. | | |

| | | Mathieu BERNARD-REYMOND, (represented by Baudoin Lebon) | | | | | | | fall partnership | | | | | | | ... until 5 October 2024 | | | | | | | | | | | | | From September to December 2024, Galerie Miranda will welcome baudoin lebon as "guest gallery", in its space located at 21 rue du Château d'Eau in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. The two galleries will share the walls for a season, taking the opportunity to cross-fertilize their rosters and founders' convictions, both eclectic but united in their defence of strong contemporary and historical signatures as well as a deep connection to Australia.
For the first chapter of their partnership, Galerie Miranda and baudoin lebon will present a dialogue between two contemporary artists working at the opposite ends of the analogue-digital spectrum but who both consider the photographic image as the 'primary material' of their hybrid practice: where Chloe Sells (1976, USA) interprets handprinted chromogenic landscape, working in a entirely analogue process with paint, ink, collage and darkroom experimentation, Mathieu Bernard-Reymond (1976, France) works with technology to 'transform' his documentary images of French hydroelectric, industrial and nuclear facilities, into poetic, yet troubling, abstract compositions.
Mathieu Bernard-Reymond (represented by baudoin lebon) is a French photographer, born in Gap in 1976. He lives and works in Lausanne, Switzerland. He graduated from the Grenoble Institute of Political Studies and the CEPV in Vevey. Exploring generative technologies and data manipulation, Mathieu Bernard-Reymond manipulates the image to construct a strange poetics and renew the visual codes of photography. He has exhibited around the world since 2001 and has published two monographs in 2003 (You are here, Actes Sud) and 2008 (TV, Hatje Cantz). Winner in 2003 of the CCF Foundation for Photography, in 2009 Mathieu Bernard-Reymond was awarded the Arcimboldo prize with his series Monuments." | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | WORLD.NATURE.HERITAGE – "Humanity has opened the gates to hell", warned Secretary- General António Guterres in an impassioned speech on the margins of the UN General Assembly in September 2023. UN General Assembly in September 2023 to politicians, entrepreneurs and activists, he warned of the terrible consequences of increasingly extreme weather events. "Our concern is that all climate action will be dwarfed by the scale of the challenge”, as humanity is heading for a temperature rise of 2.8°C.
An appeal to the world that has long been inscribed at the heart of our festival. It is our duty to preserve the poetry of creation for our children. On the fundamental issues of urbanisation, biodiversity, natural resources, environmental pollution and global warming, we will try to use images to provide, if not solutions, then at least food for thought. Therefore, in our seventh festival year, we will be showing the work of the great masters of environmental photography: Nazli Abbaspour, Evgenia Arbugaeva, Yasuhoshi Chiba, Joana Choumali, David Doubilet and Jennifer Hayes, Nadia Ferroukhi, Sacha Goldberger, Richard Ladkani, Lucas Lenci, Luca Locatelli, Pascal Maitre, Beth Moon, Maxime Riché, Sebastião Salgado, Alain Schroeder, Vee Speers, Brent Stirton, Lorraine Turci, David Turnley, Peter Turnley and Cássio Vasconcellos.
"We all need Eden as a horizon," writes Cyril Drouhet in his essay in the festival catalogue. "There was a time when we had a rainbow in our heads: We believed in the future, in progress, our dreams were full of utopias. In the third millennium, this colour has turned grey. But life needs radiant colours like in photography to enchant the world again. That is the cha… | | |

The pre-opening will take place on April 17, 18 and 19 ; the awards ceremony and inauguration will be held on 20 April 2024 .
Since 2021, La Biennale di Venezia launched a plan to reconsider all of its activities in light of recognized and consolidated principles of environmental sustainability. For the year 2024, the goal is to extend the achievement of “carbon neutrality” certification , which was obtained in 2023 for La Biennale’s scheduled activities: the 80th Venice International Film Festival, the Theatre, Music and Dance Festivals and, in particular, the 18th International Architecture Exhibition which was the first major Exhibition in this discipline to test in the field a tangible process for achieving carbon neutrality – while furthermore itself reflecting upon the themes of decolonisation and decarbonisation.
The Exhibition will take place in the Central Pavilion (Giardini) and in the Arsenale, and it will present two sections: the Nucleo Contemporaneo and the Nucleo Storico.
As a guiding principle, the Biennale Arte 2024 has favored artists who have never participated in the International Exhibition—though a number of them may have been featured in a National Pavilion, a Collateral Event, or in a past edition of the International Exhibition. Special attention is being given to outdoor projects, both in the Arsenale and in the Giardini, where a performance program is being planned with events during the pre-opening and closing weekend of the 60th Exhibition.
Stranieri Ovunque - Foreigners Everywhere, the title of the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, is drawn from a series of works started in 2004 by the Paris-born and Palermo-based Claire Fontaine collective. The works consist of neon sculptures in different colours that render in a growing number of languages the words “Foreigners Everywhere”. The phrase comes, in turn, from the name of a Turin collective who fought racism and xenophobia in Italy in the early 2000s.
«The expression Stranieri Ovunque - explains Adriano Pedrosa - has several meanings. First of all, that wherever you go and wherever you are you will always encounter foreigners— they/we are everywhere. Secondly, that no matter where you find yourself, you are always truly, and deep down inside, a foreigner.» | | |

Biennale Images Vevey 2024
© Laura Keller | | | | | | | (DIS)CONNECTED Entre passé et futur | | | | | | | | 7 – 29 September 2024 | | | | | | | | | | | | | With its ninth edition the Biennale Images Vevey returns for three weeks, from 7 to 29 September 2024, with around 50 new projects and expects to welcome more than 60,000 visitors.
Every two years, this festival presents a new unique collection of made-to-measure indoor and outdoor photography exhibitions and displays, to be discovered free of charge throughout Vevey.
The featured artistic projects invite the visitors to experience images in a different way through monumental installations and scenography that is often unusual... The biennial has the particularity of custom designing its exhibitions in order to strike the perfect balance between the works, the scenography and the place in which they are exhibited.
This year’s topic "(dis)connected" focuses on a contemporary conundrum of when unavoidable nostalgia meets inquisitiveness about an unpredictable future.
(dis)connected: the theme of the Biennale Images Vevey 2024 explore one of the major issues of our time – the great divide created by digital technologies between past and present. The projects presented aim to create links between a certain nostalgia for the past and curiosity about an uncertain future. With this in mind, some fifty national and international photographic projects will be presented, playing on the feelings of connection and disconnection between tangible reality and digital fantasy. Indoors and outdoors, throughout the city of Vevey, artistic proposals play on the feeling of connection and disconnection between tangible reality and digital fantasy. | | |
