RMN-Grand Palais / Donation André Kertész | | | | | | | | until 10 January 2018 | | |  | | | | | | | | | | This fall, Foam presents Mirroring Life, a retrospective exhibition of the work of photographer André Kertész (1894–1985). Kertész is famous today for his extraordinary contribution to the language of photography in the 20th century. This retrospective marshals a large number of black and white prints as well as a selection of his colour photographs, highlighting his exceptional creative acuity to reconfigure reality through unusual compositions. The exhibition comprises of his early work made in Hungary, his homeland, to Paris, where between 1925 and 1936 he was one of the leading figures in avant-garde photography, to New York, where he lived for nearly fifty years. The exhibition pays tribute to a photographer whom Henri Cartier-Bresson regarded as one of his masters, and reveals, despite an apparent diversity of periods and situations, themes and styles, the coherence of Kertész’s poetic approach. This exhibition is organised with Jeu de Paume, Paris, in collaboration with La Médiathèque d l’architecture et du patrimoine, ministère de la Culture et de la Communication – France and diChroma photography. | | |

The project was first opened in the beginning of September 2016. It consists of photographs which depict naturist families from France, North California, and Ireland, with whom Sturges has been communicating. The author photographed them throughout the duration of his long artistic career. Having started in the 1970s, he has now shot 3 generations of models. The images uncovered their beauty, so the girls posed to the photographer voluntarily and without embarrassment.
«Nudity means nothing to anybody here…People are naked…because they are naturists and spend their summers in a resort dedicated to the absence of shame». | | |

| | | Secret Doorway, Buenos Aires, 2017 (Detail) © Michael Eastman | | | | | | | | until 20 January 2018 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Edwynn Houk Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of large-scale photographs by Michael Eastman (American, b. 1947). The show opens on Thursday, 16 November 2017 and runs through Saturday, 20 January 2018. The artist will be present at the opening reception on 16 November from 6-8pm. The exhibition features unexpected photographs of iconic interiors in Buenos Aires. It is natural that Michael Eastman, whose works tell stories through the details of interiors located throughout the world, found rich material and inspiration in this city. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Buenos Aires staged ambitious and extravagant architectural projects to brandish its wealth, its stunning architecture helping the city earn its nickname “the Paris of South America.” Latin America’s tallest building and a series of neoclassical palaces were amongst the feats the city boasted. While Buenos Aires proudly retains this legacy today, still teeming with examples of architectural achievement from its belle époque, many of its buildings show signs of the country’s recent political and economic hardships. Eastman’s series illuminates how these interiors, captured a century after their heyday, have not dimmed with time but rather become more intriguing in their age. At the heart of each photograph is an essential element of surprise: an electric blue light illuminating the doorway of a classic palace, the psychedelic twist of a spiral staircase, the blazing reflection of light in an entirely golden theater. These details dazzle, but equally important is what is absent from these photographs. Each interior is largely devoid of contemporary design, technology, and, somewhat hauntingly, inhabitants. A college stairwell transport… | | |

Young woman, Englewood, Chicago, 2000
Tirage gélatino-argentique moderne, réalisé par l'artiste Dimensions du tirage : 40 x 50 cm
© Tom Arndt / Courtesy Les Douches la Galerie, Paris | | | | | | | | | | | | | until 13 January 2018 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The seven photographers who are the subject of this exhibit – Wayne Miller, Ray K. Metzker, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, Marvin E. Newman, Vivian Maier, Tom Arndt and Carlos Javier Ortiz – cover the period from 1940 to the present. None of them has followed the same path and none have the same way of looking at things. Each one presents us with a different image of the African-American community that had come to Chicago from the Deep South with the hope of greater freedom and better jobs. Their photos are a shocking and highly artistic testament to the life of the blacks of Chicago for over a half century.
Ray K. Metzker and Marvin E. Newman are all descendants of the unique talents of Laszlo Moholy Nagy. They all began their apprenticeship at the New Bauhaus, which was transplanted to Chicago in 1937 under his aegis, and followed it through the 1950s, under the direction of Harry Callahan. Through experimental and practical learning, they trained their eye to different aspects of creation: they were introduced to industrial design and advertising, followed by a specialisation in photography and its technical aspects, especially developing finesse in capturing light, geometric forms, the movement of silhouettes and tonal contrasts. But their common background is not a mark of uniformity – quite the contrary!
Ray K. Metzker chose the most geometric approach, ingeniously following Callahan’s teaching. He explores haziness, geometric forms, all the nuances of black and white, turning streets into theatre backdrops.
Coming from New York, where he gained a wide experience in short films and photography, Marvin E. Newman brought his Japanese accomplice, Yasuhiro Ishimoto, along w… | | |

HOW NOT TO BE SEEN: A Fucking Didactic Educational .MOV File, 2013
Still image, single screen, chromogenic prints, C- Stative, Floor installation
Courtesy Hito Steyerl, Andrew Kreps Gallery, New York, and KOW Berlin | | | | | | | | | | | until 22 April 2018 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stereoscopic vision and conceptions of spatial dimensions, their extension and transformation are fundamentally at odds with the two-dimensional technically recorded image. Since the dawn of photography, this very incompatibility has prompted photographers to grapple with the question of how to represent space. The pioneering exhibition Space & Photography at the Museum der Moderne Salzburg surveys the history of this engagement with a selection of works by thirty-five artists from fourteen countries spanning the period from 1860 to the present. The exhibition’s thematic spectrum ranges from works by Wolfgang Tillmans and others that examine architectonic and virtual spaces, to photographs addressing social, economic, and conceptual questions, as in the work of Santu Mofokeng.
"As a center of expertise on artistic photography, we have designed this exhibition to tease out the interconnections between the photographic medium and sociopolitical questions around space, with a particular view to the recent renaissance of boundaries and standardizations," Sabine Breitwieser, Director of the Museum der Moderne Salzburg, explains. "Our objective is to shed light on photography’s formal and technical diversity as well as the evolution of genres and themes in a variety of geographical and sociopolitical contexts." Christiane Kuhlmann, the museum’s Curator of Photography and Media Art, underscores the historical depth and cultural breadth of the selection on view in Space & Photography: "In addition to examples from the early days of photography, we showcase contemporary works by artists whose non-European backgrounds and circumstances inform their perceptions and interpretations of space, complementing the long-domin… | | |

| | | Willy Spiller: Lunch on Broadway, New York, 1982, Archival Pigment Print, 80 x 110 cm, Edition 5 & 2 AP | | | | | | | | 7 December 2017 – 27 January 2018 | | | Opening: Thursday 7 December, 6-9pm
Willy Spiller will attend the opening.
Guest speaker: Tobia Bezzola, Director Museum Folkwang Essen | | | | | | | | | | | | | Between 1977 and 1985 Swiss photographer Willy Spiller lived in New York and L.A. Fascinated by the speed, the energy and the absurdity of the 1970s and 80s, he roamed the streets far and wide with his camera. Whether it was rides on the subway, dancers at the legendary Studio 54, hip-hop culture in the streets of New York or the poolside life of L.A.'s high society, Spiller captured all the many facets of a bygone world in images as varied, as fascinating and as absurd as that world itself had been. In the process, he combines his curiosity for his fellow human beings with a profound understanding of the beauty of the banal and mundane in the world around him.
It is this that ensures his place in the annals of great Swiss photography. Like many of the resonating names before him, he managed to translate empathy into form through strength of will. Or, as his long-time friend and companion Paul Nizon so aptly put it: "I've often asked myself what made Willy Spiller's photography so forthright, so refreshing and so riveting. I believe it's a blend of unabashed curiosity and roguish complexity combined with a fraternal sense of compassion. It isn't something you learn at school: it's more a question of class, of predisposition, and ultimately of character. Behind the swashbuckling, wheeler-dealing façade is a dreamer, a man hungry for life and beauty. And that is the reason he sides with humanity, which is just another way of saying that he had an innate love of mankind. That is the way he sees things. And it is driven by a highly developed artistic energy."
Willy Spiller is one of Switzerland's greatest living photographers. A man of his metier through and through, he has shown us that photography… | | |

| | | from the series The 'Real' Somali Pirates © Jan Hoek (Detail) | | | | | | | Regimes of Truth | | | | | | | | until 15 December 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | LagosPhoto is the first and only international arts festival of photography in Nigeria. The festival presents photography as it is embodied in the exploration of historical and contemporary issues, the promotion of social programmes, and the reclamation and engagement of public spaces in showcasing contemporary photography. LagosPhoto Festival is delighted to announce the 8th edition of the Lagos Photo festival, themed Regimes of Truth. Held between the 24th of November- 15th of December, this year’s LagosPhoto encompasses an engaging programme of events with cultural and artistic gains. Exhibitions of finely curated works of photography from the African continent and the diaspora, large-scale and performative installations dotted around iconic public spaces in Lagos, as well as artists’ presentations, workshops and the like. Regimes of Truth will explore the pursuit for and presentation of truth in contemporary society, gleaning inspiration from the writings of some of the 19th and 20th centuries' most influential literary realists and intellectuals. Gustave Flaubert’s L’Empire de la Bêtis (The Empire of Stupidity), Orwell’s creation of “doublethink” from his dystopian novel 1984, as well as the writings of Foucault, Achebe and Huxley, all possessed foresight about contemporary society’s concurrent quandary, whereby access to information on one hand and substantive facts on the other hand, are masked by a constructed rhetoric. Regimes of Truth thus ruminates on the tension and confluence between veracity and artifice in society today. Contemporary photography serves as a gatekeeper of reality and truth as well as a conjurer of artistic imaginings for the viewer’s pl… | | |

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. | | |
