RMN-Grand Palais / Donation André Kertész | | | | | | | | 15 September 2017 – 10 January 2018 | | | | Opening reception: Thursday 14 September 17:30 | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. | | |

| | | Claudius Schulze, Lac de Migouélou, France, 2014 | | | | | | | | 8 September – 11 November 2017 | | | | Opening reception: Thursday 7 September 19:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Robert Morat Gallery is pleased to present new work by young German photographer Claudius Schulze. "State of Nature" assembles landscape photographs from all over Europe. Picturesque studies of nature, almost romantically elevated. But on a second glance, the peaceful tranquility of these landscapes proves to be deceptive. Dutch beaches, wrested from the sea, have to be defended against the ocean and rising sea levels by massive concrete breakwaters and Swiss mountainous landscapes are being penetrated by avalanche protection walls and dams to protect them from landslides and melting glaciers. These man-made landscapes hold a desire for security - security from man-made climate catastrophies and from the uncontrollable, destructive forces of a sublime, powerful nature. The intervention of man transforms nature into picturesque sceneries, as European culture has painted them since romanticism. Claudius Schulze, born in 1984, went to school in Munich and studied Political and Islamic Studies in Hamburg and Istanbul. In 2011 he graduated from the M.A. program "Photojournalism and Documentary Photography" at London College of Communication at the University of the Arts, London. The work of Claudius Schulze has been published and exhibited internationally. He lives and works in Hamburg. The book to the series "State of Nature" has been published by Hartmann Projects. | | |

| | | © Alvin Booth | | | | | | | | 8 September – 18 November 2017 | | | | Opening reception: Thursday 7 September 19:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Alvin Booth’s art unveils the intrinsic beauty and possible mutations of the human body. His photographs highlight the human form in the totality of its photographic malleability and use the elaborately staged nude as the point of departure. His bodies are then folded, wrapped, cloaked, pulled and multiplied, in order to create images that prove the body capable of being erotically charged as well as playfully comic. "Alvin Booth transports the viewer into a period somewhere between Victorian England and today. He employs traditional enlarging processes, unconventional image sizes and handcrafted copper frames. In this way, the viewer feels like an explorer during photography’s beginnings, despite the nude’s appearance in terms of pose, lighting, and use of latex etc., which is in itself utterly contemporary." (Burkhard Arnold) Booth’s latest works embrace increasingly experimental and sculptural materials, such as silicone, 3D braille printing, and even scent. Alvin Booth lives and works in New York and in the Pyrenees. More information: www.alvinbooth.com | | |

| | Bruno Barbey
Belém, Pará, Brazil, 1966
© Bruno Barbey / Magnum Photos | | | | | | | | 9 September 2017 – 14 January 2018 | | | | Opening reception: Fri 8 Sep 19:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moments of a carefree childhood, the respectful gaze into foreign cultures or aspects of the humane during political conflict and war: the diversity of his topics and his insightful image vocabulary have shaped the career of Bruno Barbey (*1941) as one of the most successful photojournalists of our time. With BRUNO BARBEY "PASSAGES" the Fotografie Forum Frankfurt presents the oeuvre of the French photographer. On display are 100 photographs in black-and-white and colour, from the early 1960s until today. Additionally, films by Caroline Thiénot-Barbey, the wife of the photographer are on view, giving unique insight to Barbey’s work and approach. The exhibition presents images and photo reportages of Bruno Barbey from all over the world. The earliest examples presented include the black-and-white images from the series "Les Italiens", Barbey’s first photo essay (1961–1964). As a student Barbey travelled to Italy numerous times, absorbed by the spirited atmosphere of the cities and the people that seemed to instantly feel relaxed in front of the camera and stage their lives on the streets much like a theatre. To capture the spirit of this nation became his goal. Fascinated by neorealist film, by encounters with the author Alberto Moravia or the painter Carlo Levi and led by the audacity of youth Barbey made more than 10,000 images across Italy. The series "Les Italiens" earned him his first publication in the major magazines Du and Camera as well as his membership with Magnum Photos at the age of 25. | | |

Lima 89, 1975
Vintage Gelatin silver print
35.50 x 35.50 cm
© 2017 Aaron Siskind Foundation, courtesy of Galerie Julian Sander | | | | | | | | 9 September – 18 November 2017 | | | | Opening reception: Friday 8 September 18:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Galerie Julian Sander is very pleased to present works by Aaron Siskind in the gallery for the first time. "A Painter's Photographer" shows photographs of the artist and references the close connection to Abstract Expressionist painting in Siskind's work. In an essay from 1951, the artist and art critic Elaine de Kooning described Aaron Siskind as a "painter's photographer". After more than 60 years, Siskind remains one of the most closely connected photographers to the abstract expressionist movement of the 20th century. His flat picture planes, the low depth of field and the focus on the surface structure resonate with the gestural paintings by artists such as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline. Siskind also shared an artistic ethos with many of these painters. He emphasized the way his own feelings shaped the image as he made it and became part of the work itself. Aaron Siskind expanded the expressive potential of photography as much as the definition of abstraction. Through extreme close-up, an unusual angle and the abstraction from the narrative context, known subjects become abstractions, which can be re-experienced. Siskind inspired numerous painters in the beginnings of the movement in the early 1940s. He is thus rightly counted among the pioneers of abstract expressionism. | | |

| | | Patrick Demarchelier: Michael Douglas, 1985 | | | | | | | Seeing and Being Seen | | | | | | | 9 September – 29 October 2017 | | | | Opening: Saturday, 9 September, 7 – 9.30 pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | The human face is surprisingly full of expression and we tend to “scan” it in order to differentiate between the smallest changes in mimics of others. The recognition of human faces and mimics is so important that an entire area in our brains is devoted solely to this task. So it is not too surprising that the portrayal of the human face also takes up a great role in art. Since ancient times, artists have been producing portraits not only of rulers, but also of prominent figures of public life. These portraits have mostly been used in the absence of said person and gave that person a sort of symbolic presence, in which they continued living through their representations. They did not only reflect the prominence of said persons, which is mostly connected to an illusion of success and luck, but also with intelligence, beauty and talent. Through this tradition a cult of celebrities evolved, which has undergone rapid changes in the course of the last centuries. The changes and developments in technology play a great role in this process. One of the most important inventions in said field was of course the invention and development of photography. This medium, which has been a quite new invention back then, was to supersede painting, especially in regards to portraiture, in the course of the 19th century. With the the exhibition "famous faces", the visitor may appropriate to portraiture in photography in a way that has never been done in the in focus Galerie. One can see the most important faces of the 20th century, portrayed by the best photographers of that time. Those masters behind the camera are photographers like Elliott Erwitt, Jeanloup Sieff and Arnold Newman, who most likely belong to be best-known photographers of the 20th… | | |

Michael Hoppen Gallery. Free entry, RSVP essential Book launch, Wednesday 13th September, 6:30 PM. The Photographers' Gallery, 16-18 Ramillies St | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Hoppen Gallery is delighted to present Human Nature, our third exhibition by American photographer Lucas Foglia. This new series made over a three year period, Foglia explores the issues of the incessant human activity that has impacted on our natural environment so much so, that it is altering the worlds climate. In this new series, Foglia leads us through his journey in chapters of images. Moving from city to city through forests to farms and deserts to ice fields and oceans. Scientists are pictured quantifying and studying our relationship with the natural world, measuring how we as human beings alter nature and, importantly, how spending time in wild spaces and nature can fundamentally changes us. Both factual and lyrical, Human Nature is a celebration of the curious. At times funny, at others, sad and sensual, the images illuminate the human need to connect with nature and to the wildness in ourselves. Continuing in the vein of his previous projects A Natural Order and Frontcountry, Foglia creates intelligent and challenging questions in his photographs through his total immersion in his subject. Foglia has always been interested in the complex relationship between man and nature in all its varying guises, often with an environmental emphasis. His continued focus in this very topical and much discussed subject , underscores how we as individuals need to re-examine our own behavior, to see how we can individually play our own part in modifying the way human beings treat our most precious resource – our natural environment. | | |

| | | Jim Naughten, No.14. The Colobus © Jim Naughten, courtesy Michael Hoppen Gallery | | | | | | | | 12 September – 21 October 2017 | | | Talk and screening, Saturday 14th October 2:00 PM. £6 admission, RSVP essential A Short History of Stereoscopy, Thursday 28th September 6:30 PM. Free entry, RSVP essential | | | | | | | | | | | | | Are the Mountains of Kong real? Jim Naughten’s adventures in a mythical land created by the Victorian imagination allow us believe that they might be… Jim Naughten’s latest project takes the viewer back in time to a fabled place, which may or may not have ever existed. Acting as an explorer, scientist and photographer Naughten has documented a world that existed in the popular consciousness for over a hundred years. The Mountains of Kong can be found on printed British maps of West Africa from 1798 through to the late 1880s when they were finally declared to be non-existent. Naughten has created a series of stereoscopic images that tell a very different story as he imagines a fictitious record made for posterity and scientific purposes during an expedition of the mountain range. The resulting images are viewable in three dimensions by using the same stereoscopic technology made popular in the late 1800s which allowed Victorians to travel to the four corners of the world whilst sitting at home in their armchairs. Naughten presents us with the evidence for the existence of the mythical kingdom in irrefutable three-dimensional forms. “In the Mountains of Kong I discovered extraordinary, otherworldly landscapes, encountered strange hitherto unknown creatures, bizarre plants, and lost tribes that seemed to dwell in a parallel universe. I faithfully recorded these true events with my stereoscopic camera, aping the explorers and expedition scientists and photographers of the past. The work aims to be both engaging and playful, but also will function as a comment on the mutability of history and our ever evolving and malleable relationship with the past.” | | |

His love for nature has inspired him to create a series of lightboxes, which emphasize the merging of temporal and spacial perspectives into a new visual impression, challenging conventional viewing habits. With his series Flowers, he allows us to imagine Place de Clairefontaine as a magical blooming meadow. This is his way of reminding us to respect our environment, in order to avoid the necessity of creating Fake Nature sooner than we think. | | |

"If we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves!", argues Edward Burtynsky. In Artnews, Alex Greenberger sums up Mishka Henner’s work "The scariest thing about Mishka Henner’s 'photographs' is that they are so beautiful". Yvon Lambert’s photographs of "industrial sculptures" portray remnants of Luxembourg’s steel industry... | | |

| | | © Clément Cogitore / ADAGP, Paris 2017 | | | Clément Cogitore » Braguino or the impossible community | | | | 15 September – 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’. | | |

Benedikt Bock, Ricardo Cases & Hana Miletić in conversation with the curators | | | | | | | | | | | | | What happens when photographers and artists incorporate hobbies into their work as a means of challenging artistic practices and hierarchies? How do hobbyists describe their passions photographically, not least today in our era of digital communication and online blogs? This is the first major exhibition to explore the relationship between photography and hobby culture, both in connection to photography of hobbies and also photography as a hobby practice. The exhibition "The Hobbyist" examines, in five chapters, what a hobby might be in an age when our notions of private and social spheres have shifted due to the impact of the internet. Could the digital era spell the end of the hobby culture? Or have the likes of YouTube and media-related developments in photography actually given it a new lease of life? Against this backdrop, the exhibition looks at the phenomenon of the hobby and reflects on its multiple layers of meaning within the seemingly contradictory spheres of leisure and work, ideology and consumerism, amateurism and professionalism. From the hippie and avant-garde cultures of the 1960s to the DIY craze of the 1980s and today’s maker movement, "The Hobbyist" explores the specific places in which hobbies are pursued, and considers aspects of their commercialisation in terms of consumer and lifestyle aspirations. By way of documents from the late 1960s, such as the iconic Whole Earth Catalog, the exhibition looks back on the countercultures of that era, the hippiedom and the nascent computer community, which produced the prototypical tools that would, within the space of just two generations, shape a future where their groundbreaking innovations have become an integral part of daily life. The fact that hobbies embod… | | |

In 2017 the internationally renowned Fotofestival Mannheim-Ludwigshafen-Heidelberg will be renamed as the Biennale für aktuelle Fotografie | | | | | | | | | | | | | The first Biennale für aktuelle Fotografie, which will be on show from 9 September 2017 in Mannheim, Ludwigshafen and Heidelberg, takes its leave from photography as it has been known hitherto. Under the title “Farewell Photography”, a six-member curator team will shed light on radical ways of handling images in the digital age and present an alternative look at photography’s history. The Biennale will be showing works by more than 60 international photographers and artists in seven chapters in seven museums of the region. Applying their different perspectives, the six curators – in seven photographic fields – will question photography’s materiality and forms of use and, equally, its socio-political potential. To that end, contemporary positions will be mirrored in historical images and image collections and likewise in regional photography archives. Commissioned works for the Biennale will be assigned to artists who react to the local socio-political conditions and milieus. The exhibitions will feature encounters between historical glass plates and digital images, photo albums of migrant families and works by international participants, artistic positions and visual press material, installations in the museum space and interventions in the urban space. At the same time, new participation formats will play an important role – via exhibits that include public interventions, the involvement of local social groups in artistic production, or open-access educational and event formats. | | |
