For over 75 years, the photographers of Magnum Photos have not only created photographic icons on both major events and hidden stories, but have simultaneously worked on commission. The exhibition shows a side of Magnum that the general public is hardly aware of, and which its photographers rarely promote themselves. In eight chapters, the audience is taken on a variety of commercial assignments: from carte blanche group assignments for governments to the hippest fashion photography; and from chic publications for major industries to reporting in the service of NGOs.
Although rarely recognized as "Magnum work" by a wider audience, it does tell a vital part of the Magnum story, and of the story of photography in general, which occupies a complex cultural position at the intersection of art, documentary and commerce. | | |

Wittgenstein’s Cabin 1, 2021
100 x 230 cm
Inkjet auf Canson Baritado, Diasec
Edition 7 + 2 AP | | | | | | | | ... until 30 July 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Spanish artist Dionisio González is a master of fanciful architectural visualizations, designing structures that are just a little too wild and imaginative to be real. Now, González imagines retro-futuristic amphibious dwellings made primarily of metal, resting on artificial islands against a backdrop of picturesque Norwegian fjords.
Named "Wittgenstein’s Cabin," the series draws inspiration from the secluded 1914 hut of Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. Built on the steep shoreline of Lake Eidsvatnet in Skjolden, Norway, the cabin was purposefully located to be as remote as possible, serving as Wittgenstein’s distraction-free refuge where he wrote some of his most important works.
"Wittgenstein worked on his studies of logic on a boat his friend David Pinsent sailed in the Sognefjord," says González. "This fact this 'event' of the research, the learning and memorizing on a small aquatic means of transport, which serves as a writing desk, let me to consider the relationship of architecture with water, and of philosophy as an 'amphibian' endeavor. How would Wittgenstein frame that organic building, that architectonic construction in a liquid medium with the present media? What would contemporary cabins be like in diffracting settings of propagating waves, such as the Norwegian fjords?"
González imagines how these qualities would translate to contemporary buildings, giving them an amphibious nature that works with the water that surrounds them. Each design is its own strange refuge, difficult to access but providing occupants with the sort of hermitage most of us can only ever dream of having. If the water rose around them, parts of these… | | |

Gelatin Silver Print | | | | | | | ... until 28 August 2022 | Robert Klein Gallery, Boston | | | | | | | ... until 28 August 2022 | Leica Gallery Boston | | | | | | | | | | | | | Robert Klein Gallery is pleased to announce concurrent exhibitions: Master Works and Amazônia. Join us Wednesday, May 25th 5-7pm for a reception with the artist at Leica Gallery Boston to view "Master Works", a selection of Salgado's seminal photographs from the 1980's to the present. Additionally, Robert Klein Gallery Newbury Street debuts "Amazônia" a 7 year project documenting the threatened, vast ecosystem that has been described as the "lung of the planet".
Acclaimed Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado has created numerous in-depth bodies of work documenting life on Earth, from crushing images of unimaginable hardship facedby gold miners in Brazil and pictures of hell on earth from blazing oil wells in Kuwait toscenes of serene, magnificent wilderness, Salgado has touched the depths of the human condition. Through his expansive, yet finely detailed black-and- white photographs, Salgado reveals both awe-inspiring and horrifying scenes from some of the most far-flung corners of the world, presenting us with his own unique vision of our vast planet.
Sebastião Salgado was born in 1944 in the Brazilian mining state of Minas Gerais and now lives in Paris. Initially an economist with the World Bank, Salgado began his photographic career in Paris in 1973. He worked with the Sygma, Gamma, and Magnum Photos agencies until 1994, when he and his wife Lélia Wanick Salgado founded Amazonas Images, dedicated exclusively to his work. He has traveled to morethan 100 countries for his photographic projects, resulting in many books including Other Americas (1986); Sahel, lʼhomme en détresse (1986); Sahel: the end of the road (1988); An Uncertain Grace (1990); Workers (1993); Terra (1997); Migrations and Portraits (2000); Africa (2007), Genesis (2013) and Amazonia (2021) | | |

© Mark Ruwedel | | | Mark Ruwedel » Inland: Haunted by the Desert | | | | ... until 9 July 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mark Ruwedel's third solo exhibition with the gallery develops on from his on-going project Los Angeles: Landscapes of Four Ecologies. For over three decades, Ruwedel has photographed American deserts and wild spaces that bear traces of human intervention.
In Ruwedel's Los Angeles series, he has identified and photographed four overlapping landscape 'systems': The Rivers, The Eastern Edge (transitioning from the basin to the desert), The Hills and Canyons, and The Western Edge (the coast). His work captures the dynamic landscapes of the greater LA metropolitan area, which is shaped by floods, fires, earthquakes and landslides. For his work depicting the effects of fire on the landscape, Ruwedel was nominated for the Prix Pictet in 2021.
In this exhibition, Ruwedel turns his attention to an area culturally known as the Inland Empire: a semi-arid zone between the Mediterranean climate of Southern California's coastal regions and the harsher weather of the deserts to the east.
Before European colonisation, Southern California was, to a great extent, tree-less. The three trees that characterise the region – eucalyptus, palm and citrus – are all imports. Ruwedel focuses on these nonnative trees, which are gradually disappearing as human activity encroaches further on the landscape. With the edge lands of the city apparent, these imported trees mark a solitary presence and suggest past economies, histories and values. | | |

Enter as a fiction
Pigment inkjet print on archival paper
60 × 90 cm © Kourtney Roy | | | | | | | | 2 June – 15 September 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Who is Kourtney Roy? By turns rebel woman, fatal beauty or overworked housewife, the photographer plays with stereotypes and enjoys taking on different roles to blur the lines in her colourful self-portraits.
Born in Ontario, Canada, her father was a cowboy... it is not surprising that she conceives the world as a vast movie set ready to welcome her fantasy. Urban landscapes or desert expanses become a set waiting for the artist’s entrance.
Quite an artist... Able to take on all the jobs : from the storyboard she imagines to the styling, including framing, lighting, make-up, directing actors... Kourtney Roy is definitely a jack-of-all-trades.
If the idea of posing in front of the camera while transforming herself is not new - some compare her to Cindy Sherman - few photographers manage to achieve such a degree of perfection in the staging. Without forgetting what makes her work so special, the humour that is always present in her creations.
The exhibition Queen of Nowhere presented at the Galerie Esther Woerdehoff cleverly reminds us of this by mixing several series made over a decade. Enter as fiction, my favourite, which I chose to exhibit at the Festival du Regard in Cergy-Pontoise as part of the "Intime and Autofiction" theme, but also Sorry, No Vacancy and the one that was the subject of her latest book The Tourist, undoubtedly the most mature...
Did her transition to the fortyish got the better of the enfant terrible? On the contrary, here she is, more glamorous than ever, accompanied by handsome men with bulging muscles; Sue Ellen, not yet decadent but already a great lover of cocktails, abandoning the atmosphere of film noir for technicolor blockbusters. As you can… | | |

© Leonard Suryajaya | | | | | | | Less Alone Together | | | | | | | | 11 June – 16 October 2022 | | | | Opening: Friday, 10 June, 6pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exhibition Chosen Family – Less Alone Together draws on international positions and works from the collection of Fotomuseum Winterthur to shed light on photography’s treatment of the (elective) family and its representation of it as a social and cultural construct. In addition to the works of professional photographers and artists, the museum also presents personal photo albums, showing the family stories of people from Winterthur and from all over Switzerland.
The exhibition Chosen Family – Less Alone Together presents works by contemporary photographers who delve into their own family history. Alba Zari’s work involves a reappraisal of her own family history mediated by pictures from her family archive and contemporary photographic documents. The artist – who was born into a fundamentalist Christian sect – uses scraps of text and image fragments to investigate the history of her family and explore her own identity in the process.
Other artists present themselves and members of their family in sometimes elaborately staged settings, reflecting on the roles played by the individual family members and the photographers’ own position within this constellation. Charlie Engman, for example, presents his ‘mom’ in settings that have little in common with our conception of a mother’s everyday reality and calls into question the one-dimensional image of the caring mother.
Other artistic explorations focus on the fact that family can be defined by much more than just (blood) kinship. These works show how photography can be a means of creating new "images of family" that offer an alternative to middle-class notions of it. Photographer Mark Morrisroe, for example,… | | |

© Georg Aerni | | | | | | | | 11 June – 16 October 2022 | | | | Opening: Friday, 10 June, 6pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | Georg Aerni has, in parallel to his work as an architectural photographer, produced a comprehensive artistic oeuvre. Although this has been exhibited sporadically, it is yet to receive any major recognition in a museum context. The exhibition at Fotostiftung Schweiz now focuses on the works he has produced since 2011 and shows Aerni’s oeuvre as a significant position within contemporary Swiss photography.
In a consistent continuation of his earlier work, Georg Aerni sheds light on the interfaces between culture and nature, examines urban spaces’ language of signs, or devotes himself to the metamorphoses of landscapes and structures. His more recent works also revolve around issues regarding ecology and sustainability, for instance in impressive photographic essays on southern Spain’s gigantic stretches of land completely covered by greenhouses, or on wildly sprawling residential developments in Cairo.
Discreetly, without pointing a moralising finger, and sometimes with an ironic undertone, Georg Aerni addresses the use of natural resources, land and topography, or the transience of structures built to last for eternity. Buildings and structures constitute a fundamental theme in the work of Georg Aerni, who was born in 1959 in Winterthur and turned entirely to photography just a few years after completing his architecture studies. He soon made a name for himself in the field of traditional architectural photography, but also stood out as a tireless flâneur and observer. On his forays through city and countryside, Aerni discovered dwellings, constructions and objects of all kinds, which he translated into carefully composed images. Many of his independent artworks still show close links to the theme of architecture, but go far bey… | | |

Peter Hebeisen, Roger Humbert, Luzia Simons, Jerry Uelsmann, Christian Vogt | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fabian & Claude Walter Galerie is pleased to present the work of Brazilian artist Luzia Simons in the solo exhibition "VERT PERPETUEL". Luzia Simons was born in Brazil in 1953 and lives and works in Berlin.
Luzia Simons achieved international recognition through a complex photographic technique she developed herself. The technique of the scanogram is a high-resolution imaging process that allows the artist to create images without a central point of view or focus that is common in photography. In this, Simons scans floral compositions down to the smallest detail and constructs a realistic image in great resolution and depth. The flowers seem to float on a deep black background, creating an immateriality and timelessness in the composition.
In her photographs, the artist takes the viewer on a journey through time, showing the economic and political influence of trade in flowers, such as tulips and chrysanthemums, throughout history. With her pictorial compositions, the artist refers, among other things, to the vanitas painting of the 17th century. She locates the series with the title Stockage in the time of the first historically documented speculative bubble, during which the Dutch traders overestimated themselves with the sale of tulip bulbs. In addition, Simons assigns the flowers a role as ambassadors in the transfer through different cultures. Luzia Simons captures the peak of beauty before the inevitable decay sets in, giving the flowers an immortal character. This is not only a reference to the beauty of flora, but also to its fragility, which can perhaps be applied to the finite nature of our world. | | |

The Burkinabe Saïdou Dicko returns with a selection of his works from the series The Shadowed People. The motif of the shadow, the artist's main source of inspiration, is both a metaphorical and a political symbol. (Artco Gallery, Aachen, Berlin and Cape Town). | | | Concrete Photography Concrete photography refers to an aesthetic movement and an approach that focuses on the photographic process and all of its components - the light, the camera, the paper or surface and the phenomena that creates the image. | | |

Nobuyoshi Araki » Diane Arbus » Anton Giuglio Bragaglia » René Burri » Edward S. Curtis » František Drtikol » Ernst Haas » Thomas Hoepker » David LaChapelle » Arnulf Rainer » August Sander » Rudolf Schwarzkogler » Anton Josef Trčka » ... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The program of the upcoming OstLicht Photo Auction already caused a stir in advance. "I am delighted that my team and I have succeeded in putting together a particularly exciting mix of exclusive classics and numerous photographic surprises," says gallery owner Peter Coeln. "I'm sure we can expect particularly lively bidding wars with this offering."
Among the undoubtedly most coveted lots in what is already the 25th photo auction led by Peter Coeln is an image that is inscribed into humanity's collective memory like few others. For many, it is René Burri's best picture – even though the 1963 portrait of the self-confident, cigar-smoking Cuban revolutionary leader Che Guevara initially appeared only small and heavily cropped in the original Look magazine reportage. It would probably have gathered dust in the Magnum archives if the proponents of the 1968 movement had not rediscovered it and stylized it as the “Che icon”. As a result, the image was reproduced millions of times. When Burri returned to Cuba in 1968, he found his masterpiece printed everywhere on T-shirts – some of which he eventually bought for his children. Today, prints signed and dated by the photographer himself are extremely rare. This perfectly preserved gelatin silver print of "Che Guevara y su tabaco" from the 1990s is offered with a starting price of 6,000 euros (estimate: €10,000 - 12,000).
An equally famous icon was created by Thomas Hoepker in 1966 for a reportage in German magazine Stern about the most legendary boxer of all time. "Muhammad Ali's Punch" was taken during a visit by the first German Magnum photographer to Ali's training camp in Chicago. When the champion spotted him, he climbed out of the ring and, unexpectedly, fired a quick right-left-right combination right in front of Hoepker's lens. Hoepker managed to get a single sharp and properly exposed shot – one that many still consider the best picture of Muhammad Ali ever taken. The vintage print, printed and signed by the photographer himself, is the only one from his private collection. On the back he noted, "Muhammad Ali demonstrating his punch, which had the same power as a 3 ton blow." This exceptional collector's item is auctioned with a starting price of 8,000 euros (estimate: €16,000 - 18,000).
In addition to these two classics, a contemporary work by the exceptional Austrian artist Arnulf Rainer is expected to be met with lively interest. Rainer with his overpaintings created a congenial combination of photography and gestural painting from the 1950s onwards. Today, his works, which were often controversial in the beginning, are enjoying increasing popularity on the international art market and have repeatedly generated top results at auctions.The offered photograph of the "Totenmaske der Schriftstellerin Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach" from 1978 has been reworked by Rainer several times, who photographically documented each phase of this creative process. The picture was conspicuously signed by the artist (estimate: € 14,000 - 16,000). | | |

The largest outdoor photography festival in Europe will take place
from 9 June until 16 October 2022.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | DUE NORTH is an opportunity to highlight the often little-known creative power of artists from Northern Europe who, since the dawn of photography, have maintained an almost carnal connection with the ruggedness of their homeland. For the inhabitants of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, solitude and wild nature are integral to their relationship with the world. They do not exploit the fruits of nature blindly, but try to understand how everything works and observe it with a caring eye. Their knowledge and constant desire to learn more about flora and fauna lead them to be very committed to respecting nature.
It is no wonder that the countries of the North, with their outrageous economic health, are among the most pleasant nations to live. Regularly crippled by frost and cold and accustomed to the great outdoors, they have developed a centuries-old tradition of political consensus, rejection of conflict and social development based on strict conservation of natural resources. In Copenhagen, 40% of the inhabitants cycle to work, in Stockholm the buses run on bioethanol, and in Reykjavik geothermal energy is now commonplace. Some will see the legacy of Lutheranism, others the more distant traces of the Viking tradition. You can't survive in the far north without a certain willingness to adapt. In countries where warmth and light are vital six months out of twelve, the environment is a crucial challenge. So it is understandable that Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg has become the new face of climate change for the world's youth: she knows that melting glaciers and sea ice are not far from home and that it is not a boreal illusion. If your culture is threatened by the effects of global warming, it is your duty to alert the public.

Jonathan Forsythe: Loraine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 2017
© Jonathan Forsythe, 2019 (Kaput Publishing) | | | düsseldorf photo+ Biennale for Visual and Sonic Media | | | | 45 Participating Institutions, Galleries and Fringe Venues | | | | | | | | | | ... until 19 June 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The second düsseldorf photo+ Biennale for Visual and Sonic Media opens on 13 May. Featuring over 50 exhibitions and a wide range of accompanying events, the participating Düsseldorf art institutions, galleries and fringe venues collectively offer an insight into the issues and debates current within the world of photography and time-based media.
The keynote exhibition, Think We Must, curated by Pola Sieverding and Asya Yaghmurian opens on 12 May at the Akademie Galerie on Burgplatz and plays a pivotal role thematically within the Biennale. Featuring works by Frida Orupabo, Walid Raad, Hito Steyerl, David Wojnarowicz and others, the exhibition examines how reality, history and a dispositional analysis of society can be constituted and altered when thought is based around photographic images.
The Biennale will be accompanied throughout its run by a comprehensive programme of panel discussions, talks and workshops, including a roundtable debate, with discussants Vivien Trommer, Akinbode Akinbiyi, Aino Laberenz and Max Jorge Hinderer Cruz, on 14 May at K21 at the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen on curating and art education as a means of interrogating power.
The Julia Stoschek Collection places a spotlight on the work of the Turner Prize-winner, Laure Prouvost, with screenings interrogating the intimate relationship between language, image and perception. At Düsseldorf University, Professor Mareike Foecking’s students investigate how artistic production can make a contribution to societal knowledge and the nature of the framework of rules within … | | |

| | | Alfredo Jaar: Searching for Africa in Life, 1996. Courtesy of the artist | | | | | | | 12 Exhibitions on "CURRENCY" | | | | | | | FESTIVAL WEEK: JUNI 2 – 6, 2022
EXHIBITIONS: MAI 20 – SEPTEMBER 18, 2022 | | | | | | | | | | | | | With twelve exhibitions starting from May 20, 2022, the 8th Triennial of Photography Hamburg will engage the theme of "Currency" from multiple angles and perspectives. From colonial-era photo albums to visual reveries, social documentary and conceptual approaches to photography, the exhibitions explore the polyphonic ways in which photographs are produced, circulated and interpreted. The exhibition parcours through Hamburg was conceived by artistic director Koyo Kouoh and her international team, alongside the curators of the ten participating museums and exhibition venues in Hamburg. The exhibitions will be accompanied by numerous events and a festival lasting several days in June 2022.
At the Hall for Contemporary Art of the Deichtorhallen Hamburg, Koyo Kouoh, Rasha Salti, Gabriella Beckhurst Feijoo and Oluremi C. Onabanjo examine the "retinal age", in which images fundamentally shape acts of seeing and being seen. The exhibition Currency: Photography Beyond Capture weaves experimental modes of portrayal, documentary and multisensory evocation, as entry points into reimagining how knowledge is sought and constructed through the photographic medium.
Two of the triennial’s exhibitions are devoted to photographer Herbert List » The Magic Eye at the Bucerius Kunst Forum presents the first international survey exhibition of his work in more than two decades. The retrospective spans his career from surrealist works to his visions of life in antiquity and extensive pictorial reports of non-European cultures, all the way to the male nudes with which List avowed his own homosexuality. | | |
