The series includes narratives, notes and observations from the past ten years, in which Tobias Kruse has produced images that translate a mood, a sense of life into an authentic visual language. "In recent years, Tobias Kruse has captured the unspeakable moments of life: the shape of an object, the certainty of impending injuries, the birth of children and happiness on their skin," wrote Laura Benz on the occasion of the book's publication. "Many call the work a diary, but of course that's not what it is", says Tobias Kruse. "It's miniatures, a condensate."
Tobias Kruse was born in 1979 in Mecklenburg. He studied photography with Prof. Ute Mahler at the Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie and attended the masterclass of Prof. Arno Fischer. Since 2011 he is a member of the agency OSTKREUZ. Since 2017 he teaches at the Ostkreuz School of Photography. His works are exhibited and published internationally. Tobias Kruse lives and works in Berlin. | | |

| | David Spero: from "SETTLEMENTS"
Dan and Claire’s garden, locations undisclosed, September 2008
Beekeeping © David Spero | | | | | | | | until 27 March, 2020 | | | | SAISON 2018/2019 – Portrait, hors cadre Part II | | | | | | | | | | | | | David Spero's "Settlements" draw the portrait of a few communities in Britain that have chosen to partially separate and live in parallel from so-called mainstream society out of ecological considerations. Spero uses documentary-style imagery to illustrate the creative potential and pioneering spirit displayed by these groups on their quest for new, alternative modes of existence.
His work shows homemade houses and their inhabitants, as well as the gardens that allow them to support themselves and ensure their autonomy. This rejection of the current, globalized social trends is not an act of defiance or based on an anarchist stance towards society. Rather, these new settlements want to challenge our responsibility towards nature. Perhaps we should not hand all of it over to political systems.
In his work, David Spero shows subsistence models carried by personal initiative and collective consciousness. He tells the story of a few small groups who have made it their mission to prioritize the low-impact management, optimal restoration and long-term protection of the natural resources at our disposal.
David Spero was born in 1963, studied photography at the Royal College of Art, London and has since worked on a number of interconnected photographic projects. His work is in numerous collections, including the Victoria & Albert Museum and British Council.

Until 12 May 2019 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | UMBO – ever since the retrospective organised by Herbert Molderings in 1995, if not earlier, this name has been synonymous with a kind of “Big Bang” in modern photography in the mid-1920s. UMBO, born Otto Maximilian Umbehr in Düsseldorf in 1902, the second of ten children of a structural engineer and a teacher, is considered the inventor of the image of the “New Woman”, the new conception of the street and of photographic reporting per se. His name stands for the youth-driven departure of the “Wandervögel” of the Wilhelminian era to early Bauhaus. It also stands for the media city of Berlin strongly influenced by Eastern European immigrants, for a rapidly developing film, music, theatre and cabaret scene, and for glimpses inside the courtyards and kitchen-living rooms of overpopulated tenement blocks. UMBO: This is the doubting young artist who, thanks to the encouragement of his Bauhaus teacher Johannes Itten and artist friend Paul Citroen, becomes famous as a photographer practically overnight – yet always remains bohemian, an eternal “Wandervogel”.
UMBO who, so the story goes, survived National Socialism despite being “anti”, whose Berlin studio and archive were fully destroyed by bombing in 1943 and whose attempts to revive his earlier status as an avantgarde photographer in the post-war period of the Federal German Economic Miracle in Hannover proved fruitless; whose expressive early work that matured into New Objectivity was rediscovered in the 1970s; and who in 1979, shortly before his death, experienced his first solo exhibition in a museum: in the ‘Spectrum Photogalerie im Kunstmuseum Hannover mit Sammlung Sprengel’. This exhibition, which presents a selection of roughly 200 works and numerous documents, therefore draws essentially on UMBO’s estate. The basis is formed by over 600 photographs and extensive source material, supplemented by early acquisitions by the partner institutions Berlinische Galerie and Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau, together with works obtained by the Sprengel Museum Hannover from Simon Guttmann’s Report post-war archive in London. Safeguarded for decades by his daughter Phyllis Umbehr and Rudolf Kicken (Galerie Kicken), UMBO’s estate was jointly acquired in 2016 by Bauhaus Dessau, Berlinische Galerie and Sprengel Museum Hannover, thanks to the efforts of numerous partners. The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue. | | |

| | | Janet Bellotto, "Transcribing the Impermeable Wall" Lightbox, 90x120 cm | | | | | | | | | | | | | May 14 to July 5, 2019 | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Machines are social before being technical." Gilles Deleuze
'I'm an Eye, A Mechanical Eye' takes its title from the avant-garde filmmaker Dziga Vertov's writings. For the director of 'Man with the Movie Camera' (1929), the camera is an extension of the human eye yet at times excels it. One who holds the camera then becomes a cyborg, reminiscent of our contemporary relationship with the mobile phone cameras. Whatever the eye of the cameraman chooses to see, the machine documents. The selection and montage that the camera allows for helping create new narratives and even realities.
Through these lenses, the exhibition looks into various ways in which the artists use the camera, either as an apparatus both for photography and film or as the subject. Due to the embedded ocularcentrism in the hegemonic culture, the eye still remains integral in the production and the experience of contemporary art as well as of the everyday. 'I'm an Eye, A Mechanical Eye' aims to highlight the unresolved questions related to vision and the politics of seeing through an investigation of the issues of gaze, surveillance, and documentation. | | |

| | | Kaelyn and the girls, from the series Frères d'une île pas très proche, 2018 © Durimel | | | | | | | 20 young artists shaping the future of photography | | | | | | | | 16 May – 16 June 2019 | | | | Opening reception: Wednesday 15 May 18:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Foam returns to Beaconsfield Gallery Vauxhall in London to present Foam Talent; a group exhibition bringing together a new generation of international artists.
Coinciding with Photo London, the captivating and imaginative installation presents a forward-thinking showcase of photography. Selected through the annual Foam Talent Call, the 20 emerging artists featured in the exhibition are exceptionally placed to share their insight into the state of contemporary photography. They cross the borders of the medium with remarkable ease, focusing on the cycle of time, on socio-political factors and on our everyday life. These artists show us how essential it is to possess and demonstrate authenticity, intrinsic quality and the visual power of expression.
The works are also featured in Foam Magazine's Talent Issue, which allows Foam to reflect on the full spectrum of creative approaches that mark today's developments in the photographic medium.

Artist talk with Frédéric Paul and Diane Dufour: Saturday 11 May 2019 11am | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using a radio-controlled release system, Barbara Probst triggers simultaneous shots of the same event, gesture or action from different distances and angles. This moment multiplied into several views constitutes an Exposure, a constellation of perspectives that induces multifaceted, sometimes contradictory readings of the image.
Barbara Probst is not interested so much in what is represented as in the way it is represented. Using gestures, faces and objects that are as neutral as possible, she minimises the narrative character of each view and seeks a more open, more ambiguous rendering. She has always been intrigued by the 1960s writers and filmmakers who broke with classical narrative, like Alain Robbe-Grillet and Jean-Luc Godard. "Their way of storytelling was to go against the expectations of the reader or viewer by creating cracks and gaps in the story or by unexpectedly changing the perspective. They treated the narrative not unlike a cubist painter treated space…"
"Sometimes I imagine this process as thought my pictures were standing there like a façade, and the structural support behind them has vanished. Reality has vanished; only the pictures are still standing there as a façade." - Barbara Probst
Her work is based on her early years of study at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich, where she studied sculpture. "We were modeling with clay every day with a nude model posing for us. We would create a three-dimensional image of our model as naturalistically as possible. The nude model would stand on a turntable that we would turn every 10 minutes by about 30 or 40 degrees, so that each student could see every possible angle of the model." As a photographer, Barbara… | | |

BRAZILIAN Pavillion, Giardini | | | | | | | May You Live in Interesting Times | | | | | | | | 11 May – 24 Nov 2019 | | | | Preview days: Wed 8 May - Fri 10 May 2019 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 58th International Art Exhibition, titled May You Live In Interesting Times, will take place from 11 May to 24 November 2019 (Pre-opening on 8, 9, 10 May). The title is a phrase of English invention that has long been mistakenly cited as an ancient Chinese curse that invokes periods of uncertainty, crisis and turmoil; "interesting times", exactly as the ones we live in today.
The 58th Exhibition is curated by Ralph Rugoff, currently the director of the Hayward Gallery in London. Between 1985 and 2002 he wrote art and cultural criticism for numerous periodicals, publishing widely in art magazines as well as newspapers, and published a collection of essays, Circus Americanus (1995). During the same period he began working as an independent curator.
The Exhibition will also include 90 National Participations in the historic Pavilions at the Giardini, at the Arsenale and in the historic city centre of Venice. Four countries will be participating for the first time at the Biennale Arte: Ghana, Madagascar, Malaysia and Pakistan. The Dominican Republic exhibits for the first time at the Biennale Arte with its own national pavilion. | | |
