| | | | | | | | | | | | | 20 September – 21 October 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Photography is a window" according to the French writer and poet Michel Butor.
The glossy photographic print and its margin as well as the act of photographing, of framing a moment of reality, are reminiscent of the rectangular frame of a window. The camera itself reminds us of this analogy. Likewise the glass lens of the camera draws parallels to a skylight window, the glass lens functioning primarily to let varying degrees of light through. These fundamental, often banal openings, bridge and simultaneously frame the interior and exterior and so are intrinsic to the process and outcome of image creation. It is no coincidence that the first successful print in the history of photography, taken by Nicéphore Niepce in 1827, captures the view from the window of his house.
From this moment forth, windows, whether in the background of a composition or as the main subject, have appeared in every genre of the photographic medium. As a framework for exploring the world, the Other, and sometimes oneself, the window fascinates and questions.
The group exhibition 'From window views to windows on view' gathers a unique selection of photographs from the Collection De Gambs and the Heinz Hajek-Halke Estate. Offering a visual journey through the themes of the collection - historical, nude, and experimental photography - this presentation brings together prints from the 1930s to the 2020s, many of which are being shown for the first time.
From window views to windows on view, the images exhibited offer a variety of perspectives. With its geometric structure, the window is an ideal frame for aesthetic compositions. Some photographers play on its effects of transparency to create a foggy reality. Others explore its source… | | |

| | | © Lorraine Tuck | | | | | | | | 21 September – 11 November 2023 | | | | Opening: Thursday 21 September 6.00pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | Irish artist Lorraine Tuck’s newly commissioned work tells the story of a family living with autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability. Curated and produced by Photo Museum Ireland this intensely moving and emotionally powerful photographic exhibition is an important contribution to public understanding of neurodivergence and disability.
Tuck is the mother of four children, two boys and two girls. The boys have autism spectrum disorder, which in the case of the youngest, is coupled with severe intellectual disability. Unusual Gestures provides insights into the far-reaching implications that neurodiversity and disability present for families. It explores the impacts - some subtle, some fundamental - on parental and sibling relationships, and charts the challenges and joys of everyday family life. The exhibition succeeds in capturing how everyone, neurotypical as well as neurodiverse, forms the centre of their own separate and singular world, while at the same time it celebrates how we are all inescapably inter-connected to the human family tree.
A further series of works in the exhibition focuses on the artist’s uncle Owen. Born in 1972 in Connemara, Owen has Down’s Syndrome and is gender fluid. At times, Owen chooses to live as a woman called ‘Pink’. Owen/Pink has collaborated with Tuck to produce a series of portraits exploring their fluid gender identity with joyful and refreshing honesty.
At its heart, this exhibition is about love more than autism or disability. Transcending a documentary or issue-based record, Tuck’s work is a beautiful and clear-eyed call for acceptance and inclusion. | | |

OLD MAN, OTTOSHOOP, 1983
Silver gelatine Fiber based print from the "Dorps" series
36 x 36 cm | | | | | | | | 22 September – 18 November 2023 | | | Opening: Thursday, 21 September, 6 – 9 pm
Curators: Françoise Morin et Philippe Séclier | | | | | | | | | | | | | Les Douches la Galerie is pleased to present, for the first time this Fall, a solo show by Roger Ballen, including his early series from the 80s and 90s. Roger Ballen was born in New York in 1950, but has lived and worked in Johannesburg, South Africa since 1982. After working in mineral exploration, he took his camera to dig into the layers of his own inner life and pierce the external surface of a poor and deeply rural country.
With the Dorps series (small dormitory towns) which he begun in 1983 in a sun-scorched landscape, the doors and shutters of cafés are closed, the buildings of Victorian Cape architecture inanimate and the images are frontal. But when he decided to enter homes directly and confront stained surfaces, saturated with lines, marks, photos and children's drawings, the interior wall became an essential element in his work. It's not a background, but rather a surface, like a picture plane. Between 1986 and 1994, Roger Ballen also took an interest in marginalized population. "They may well become another fragment of human detritus of the new South Africa," he writes in the preface to Platteland, the first impactful book among his singular bibliography. In 2001, Outland introduced the "wire" period. Roger Ballen draws with wires, linking the formal elements of the image with straight lines and curves. | | |

M+V. Matière et Végétal, Lacoste juin 78
30 x 20 cm | CHUCK KELTON
A View, Not from A Window #650, 2020
Chemigram and photogram, unique; 50 x 40 cm |
| | | | | | | a dialogue | | | | | | | | ... until 3 October 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | A new selection of recent photogram-chemigrams, all unique, by Chuck Kelton (1952, USA) will be presented in dialogue with vintage experimental works by Jean-Pierre Sudre (1921-1997, French), from his series 'M + V, Matière et Végétal'. A key historical figure in French photography, Jean-Pierre Sudre was also one of the founders, in the 1970s, of the Rencontres d'Arles festival. The encounter between the works by these two artists, previously unknown to one another, reveals astonishing aesthetic crossovers and shared photographic investigations.
Chuck Kelton makes unique, camera-less photographs, working in full daylight outside of the darkroom and spending weeks, sometimes months, sketching and preparing each work. A master printer, Kelton is also a passionate collector of photographs, practical manuals and tools from the history of photography. He explores 19th century techniques and chemistry such as gold chloride and selenium, that he combines with bleach and developer to coax a lush palette of colours from light sensitive, traditional silver gelatin papers. Describing his approach as "calligraphy with chemistry", Chuck Kelton combines chemigram and photogram techniques: the image in a photogram is the result of exposing photographic paper to light — writing with light — whereas the image in a chemogram is the outcome of exposing photographic paper to developer and fixer — writing with chemistry. Kelton often folds the paper in two - a transgressive act in photography - creating a visual break that is understood by the viewer as a horizon line creating depth of field in the artist's misty palette.
Jean-Pierre Sudre worked notably with contrasting, vibrant blacks and whites to magnify everyday objects thanks to the "power of transposing colours into monochromatic tones". He undertook broad experimentation with darkroom process, in particular the chemical process of mordanting, which fixes color dye to the support through a chemical process that gives a particular depth to the tones. Describing himself as a poet, Jean-Pierre Sudre metamorphosed objects through a photography of detail where the anecdotal becomes the essence of the subject. This quest is felt in various series from his "natures mortes” to his later "M+V" [mineral + vegetal] series: "For the M+V series, having photographed a lot of the plant world [...], I approached things from within this mystery of nature, at the foot of trees, mosses...it was a travelling shot of these very things on which we walk and which are of a great beauty" --- Jean-Pierre Sudre to Jean-Claude Gautrand in an interview for the MEP in 1994. | | |

from the exhibition "50 YEARS THROUGH THE EYES OF LIBÉRATION" | | | | | | | A STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS | | | | | | | | ... until 24 September 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 1970, Arles photographer Lucien Clergue, writer Michel Tournier and historian Jean‑Maurice Rouquette founded the Rencontres d’Arles, an annual photography festival.
At the time, photography was still regarded as a “minor” art and had not come of age. The festival in Arles played an important role in enabling it to gain recognition from institutions. Starting out as a series of encounters between photography enthusiasts, over the years the event gained importance and much popularity, with soaring success in the early 2000s due to a growing public interest in photography.
LEADING ARTISTS
For over 50 years, photography’s greatest names have participated in the Rencontres d’Arles, a veritable breeding ground for new talent. Anticipating medium changes and technologie evolutions, offering the experience of the image to all: these are the festival’s ambitions. Its program is made rich through a diversity of perspectives, with photographers and curators hailing from different backgrounds. Occasionally a whole program section is offered to an artist, as the case for Martin Parr, Raymond Depardon, Nan Goldin and Arles’ own fashion designer Christian Lacroix. At other times, breaking down the divides, photography is made in relation with cinema, music or architecture. Year after year, the festival tries to interpret a changing world through the eyes of photographers, unquestionably the best at telling story.
ART IN THE CITY
Between early July and late September, the public is invited to explore 40 exhibitions at various heritage sites throughout the city, from 12th-century chapels and cloisters to 19th-century industrial buildings and contemporary, if not unexpected sites (such as the Monoprix and its façade, classified 20th-century heritage). | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | REBELLIOUS AND DEEPLY ROOTED IMAGES OF HOPE FROM THE ORIENT!
A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY BETWEEN LIGHT AND SHADOW.
ORIENT! focuses on photographers from Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three countries that all belong to the Persian cultural area. Three predominantly Muslim countries with Indo-European populations that remain subject to the laws of religion and obscurantism. Three countries that we know little about, although they have captured the hearts of all travellers like Marco Polo. Three countries whose photographers are the defenders of positive thinking and ambassadors of environmental awareness. Three countries that are home to a millennia-old civilisation, a unique artistic creativity and courageous authors who have chosen photography to define their place in society. Photographers from these countries have always chosen to break conventions in order to develop an innovative style and look at people and gods with a humanistic eye. Honour to whom honour is due: Abbas, Gohar Dashti and Hamed Noori, Ebrahim Noroozi, Maryam Firuzi, Hashem Shakeri, Paul Almasy, Véronique de Viguerie, Fatimah Hossaini, Shah Marai and Wakil Kohsar, Sarah Caron.
Since its inception, the festival has never wavered from its mission to show the beauty of nature as well
as to address the need to protect it. Through the prism of photography, we aim to highlight the challenges of a sustainable world without naivety. At the same time, the sometimes dramatic reality is never disregarded. All photographs are signs of our unshakeable belief in the future. The photographers at
our festival are determined to be witnesses and part of the effort to preserve our most beautiful common asset - planet Earth: Mélanie Wenger, Bernard Descamps, Gabriele Cecconi, Stephan Gladieu, Money Sharma, Reporters Without Borders, Brigitte Kössner-Skoff and Gerhard Skoff, Antonin Borgeaud, Jérôme Blin, Alisa Martynova, Maxime Taillez, Chloé Azzopardi.
This year, the bilateral photo project of the Morbihan schools in Brittany and Lower Austria is dedicated to the theme of openings. Whether in the literal or figurative sense, the concept of opening also encompasses communication and journeys to new places or people. Ultimately, it raises the question of the construction of our individual and collective identity and our relationship with others.
Photography undoubtedly remains the most incisive tool for changing public opinion and for preserving glimmers of humanity. The Austrian photographers Rudolf Koppitz and Horst Stasny also stand in this tradition. From Gregor Schörg, the festival will show the second part of his work on the wilderness area Dürrenstein-Lassingtal. The exhibition of Lower Austrian professional photographers and the exhibition of the winning photos of the world's largest photo competition, CEWE's "Our World is Beautiful", with almost 700,000 pictures from 170 countries, will round up the festival, as will the retrospective of 2021 in the pictures of the artist in residence Pascal Maitre. In addition, the Austrian photographer Cathrine Stukhard was commissioned to portray the World Heritage Site of Vichy and place it in the context of UNESCO's eleven "Great Spa Towns of Europe", which also include Baden near Vienna.
Under the guiding principle of Culture of Solidarity, the cooperation with the festival partners Garden Tulln, Celje in Slovenia and Month of Photography Bratislava will continue in 2023. | | |
