Simultaneously FOAM 3h presents Zelenkova's series 'A Snake That Disappeared Through a Hole in the Wall'. The exhibition will be on show till June 24, 2018. | | |  | | | | | | | | | | ‘The Essential Solitude’ is Czech photographer Tereza Zelenkova’s first exhibition at the Ravestijn Gallery. In her preferred black and white images Zelenkova presents a room and its curious inhabitant, evoking the n de siècle movements of symbolism and decadence, to which the photographer pays homage, with references to the literature of Baudelaire, Rimbaud, and JK Huysmans. Together, the still lives, nudes, and portraits are a highly captivating inquiry into the cycle of decay and renewal, the relation of the individual to an interior, and the possibility of myth and spirituality in a disenchanted world.
These images, with a strong sense of detail, seem to come from another era, yet are surprising in their strong presence and newness; this is another, more mythical and ephemeral realm altogether. In this place, time has ceased to exist in its everyday, stupefying linearity. Still lives of baroque draperies, covered with dust, and a single Papaver somniferum - an opium poppy - halt the narrative of the other images, where a gure is seen lying on a bed, with impossibly long owing hair, repeated in the owing fabric of the silk skirt. On only one of the photographs a face is shown, but the eyes remain closed, as the character remains essentially unknowable to the viewer. While the photographs, taken in an enigmatic building of which the viewer learns little, hint at a novelistic narrative, these scenes are rather from a mysterious novel never written. | | |

Courtesy Johanna Breede PHOTOKUNST | | | | | | | | 14 April – 1 June, 2018 | | | | Opening: Friday, 13 April, 7-9pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | A woman. A man. A hotel. A landscape. It is early April 1981. In the French seaside resort Quiberon, a quiet little harbor city on a peninsula in the Atlantic, Romy Schneider met the photographer Robert Lebeck. It was as if they had known each other for a long time. He had portrayed her many years ago. It was not the last time the two would meet. However, it would never be as intense as here in Quiberon. April 1981.
Quiberon: a rough landscape between steep cliffs and a rough sea. Robert Lebeck photographed her as she jumped over rocks. Child’s play. It seems effortless and uninhibited: she places one foot into the air and one on solid ground. A few days later these images were published in stern magazine with an interview by Michael Jürgs, at the time the chief reporter of the magazine and later Romy Schneider’s most important biographer.
It is the story of a crisis. In it Romy Schneider talks about "what distresses her, what makes her sick and full of helplessness, seeking solace in alcohol". That at least is how it would appear in Jürgs’ text – in an interview of an historic encounter. Those days in Brittany must have been so tragic, confusing and intense, that they inspired the filmmaker Emily Atef to recently make the film „3 Days in Quiberon“. It is the short story of a slow farewell: a concentration of premonitions, remembrance and photographs that will always remain unforgotten.
The exhibition, titled "Romy in Quiberon", will comprise circa 25 black and white photographs uniting the life and death of the legend Romy Schneider - the eternal enigma. Barely anyone else has transposed the multifaceted and changeable essence of this important German postwar actres… | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | 14 April - 7 July, 2018 | | | | Opening: Saturday, 14 April, 7 - 9.30 pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | In focus Gallery presents a thematically exhibition from the Gallery’s collection, as a tribute to the beauty of women. "so beautiful" will take the viewer on a journey from 1940 up to today to discover exceptional works of art photography that focus on the beauty of women.
The exhibition "so beautiful" takes the liberty to focus on beauty and aesthetics in the #MeToo discussion and is also a reaction to the tendency in contemporary photography, to show everyday and uninspired things and events.
Gerhard Richter (born 1932), one of the most successful contemporary artists, said in 2005: "It's difficult with beauty, we're not in agreement on what it should mean. Certainly it is also because the term beauty is so hackneyed or sounds like 'the good' and 'the true'. But that does not change the value of such ideal qualities and the fact that people need beauty. For me, beauty has always been a criterion for the quality of artwork, of whatever kind and from what time. [...] Beauty is very simple, first of all the opposite of destruction and dissolution and damage, and with that it is inseparably connected with form, without which nothing can arise." (Spiegel Nr. 33, S. 128-132)
A dominant focus in the Gallery’s collection has always been images of women; whether in humanist, fashion, or conceptual contexts, a theme of elegance and grace unites them across cultures and periods. | | |

| | | Mona Lisa, 2017 © Thomas Mailaender, courtesy Michael Hoppen Gallery | | | | | | | | 17 April – 26 May 2018 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Michael Hoppen Gallery is delighted to announce its first solo show with multimedia artist Thomas Mailaender.
Thomas Mailaender (born 1979) is a French artist living and working between Paris and Marseille known for his use of a wide range of media and his experimentation with printing processes, fixing strange and humorous found imagery onto the surface of ceramics, photography and sculpture. The resulting objects teem with curiosity and a sense of the bizarre, pairing traditional, historical techniques with today’s prolific digital visual culture.
The source of images used in Mailaender’s work is the artist’s ‘Fun Archive,’ a collection of absurd, amateur photographs he started amassing from the internet since 2000. Once applied to their intended surface or material, and removed from context, the resulting objects are transformed into monuments to contemporary culture. Using humour as a provocation, Mailaender’s work raises questions not only about the role of the artist, but also about the absurdity of the everyday and the pretensions of the art world.
For his show at the Michael Hoppen Gallery, Mailaender will be exhibiting a cross-section of works. From imagery printed on found ceramics and Italian lava stone, using an extremely durable process created for photographs to be printed on gravestones, to his series ‘Skin Memories’ in which he has developed techniques for printing on leather during a residency at LVMH Métiers d’Art, the exhibition will be extensive and take place over multiple floors of the space in Chelsea. Also on show for the first time will be a selection from the artist’s personal collection of objets trouvés “The Fun Archeology”. Continuing in the theme of his work, the “Fun Archeology” is a celebration of the bizarre, full of strange and wonderful objects, such as Algerian propaganda movies or minuscule souvenirs and an extensive photo book collection.
Thomas Mailaender’s work is held in public collections worldwide such as the Musée National de l’histoire de l’Immigration, Paris, FNAC (Fond National d’Art Contemporain), Paris and MONA museum, Tasmania. He has exhibited widely in exhibitions such as ‘Do Disturb’ (Palais de Tokyo in Paris, 2017), "Iconoclasts: Art Out of the Mainstream" (Saatchi gallery, London, 2017), Performing for the Camera (Tate Modern, 2016), ‘Night Climbers of Cambridge’ (Festival Images in Vevey, Switzerland, 2014), ‘From Here On’ (the Rencontres d'Arles, South of France, 2011), Paris Photo, and will be exhibiting in the 'Back to the Future' show at FOAM museum in Amsterdam in the coming year (19 January - 28 March 2018). Thomas' curatorial work includes ‘Hara Kiri’ (Rencontres d’Arles 2016) and Photo Pleasure Palace with Erik Kessels (Unseen, Amsterdam, 2017). Numerous Artist books have been published about Mailaender’s work and his "Illustrated People" (AMC/RVB books) was awarded PhotoBook of the Year in the 2015 edition of the Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards. | | |

| | | Among Mountains and Rivers © Gao Hui | | | | | | | three sections with 80 photographs by 26 contemporary photographers | | | | | | | until 2 December 2018 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mountains, in Chinese legends, are the pillars that hold up the sky. For ages, mountains have been seen as places nurturing life. Veneration for the vast beauty of mountains has taken many forms in Chinese culture, including retreat from society, art and ritualistic practices. This exhibition is divided into three sections with 63 photographs by 26 contemporary photographers presenting the geography, history, culture, life and art that is associated with or derived from mountains. Lofty Mountains: Revered in History will introduce the geography, history, legends and cultures associated with famous Chinese mountains; Pure Sound: Chinese Landscape Aesthetics in photography will explore the aesthetics of Chinese landscape painting through Wang Wusheng’s Mount Huang (Yellow Mountains) landscape photography; and New Landscape Photography will showcase the artists’ way of thinking in regards to Chinese history and current social affairs.
By investigating the impact of mountains on Chinese culture and traditional aesthetic, this exhibition examines the many ways in which nature has played and continues to play a defining role in Chinese geography, history, culture, and psyche. | | |

In the same manner that the works were shown in 2011, under the title LIGHT SENSITIVE, the second part of the exhibition will also be featured in the museum’s former high-bay warehouse, which offers more than 15 metres of ceiling height and a revolving upward ramp that offers exciting vistas.
Some major works from the Collection, such as Wim Wenders’s monumental photos of Ground Zero, are once again on display. Other works such as Sherrie Levine’s appropriation of Frenchman Eugène Atget’s interiors are presented for the first time.
The classic genres of photography―nude, portrait, landscape, architecture, or industry―are mirrored in the works, but are often citations or stages of conceptual processes. In pictures where architecture, and urban space are the central focus, the documentary view of cultural sites prevails. The interior views of well-known museums from Candida Höfer are to be mentioned here as well as Klaus Heider’s photographs of the Opaion in the Roman Pantheon. Roland Fischer abstracts architecture as a photographic motif to the point of ornamentation.
The portraits are―as with Bettina Rheims and Gianluca Vassallo―always stagings or montages, often maintaining a rather taciturn distance.
Non-representational works, in which the idea and formal design are essential, such as Wolfgang Tillmans’s Subtraktive Farbmischungen (Subtractive colour mixtures) and Thomas Ruff’s Substra… | | |

Centered around a group exhibition, Haute Photographie Stockholm presents an array of artists ranging from the grand masters of photography to the most exciting names working with the medium today – with all artworks being available for purchase. Together with Fotografiska, the Swedish Museum of Photography, Haute Photographie has invited 7 international galleries to take part, showcasing artworks by nearly 50 artists in total:
Dorothée Nilsson Gallery (Berlin)
Esther Woerdehoff (Paris)
mc2 Gallery (Milan)
Ibasho Gallery (Antwerp)
Kahmann Gallery (Amsterdam)
Willas Contemporary (Oslo)
Art Partner (Stockholm)
In addition to the group exhibition, two focus exhibitions will offer a detailed look at the past and future of photography. The Vintage Show will present vintage artworks from the collections of the participating galleries, bringing together key names from the history of the medium. As a nod to the roots of the fair, The Talent Exhibition will give Dutch photography talents a platform to present their work abroad.
“I am really excited about the Haute Photographie fair coming to Fotografiska Stockholm. It is an amazingly ambitious project to gather the most celebrated and forward-leaning galleries in the world and create an astonishing, kick-ass group exhibition of their combined treasures“, said Jan Broman, initiator and co-founder of Fotografiska.
Like the previous editions in Rotterdam, Haute Photographie Stockholm will be a meeting place for artists, curators, collectors – both young and experienced – and anyone with a genuine love for photography. | | |

FotoFest 2018 speaks to a number of contemporary issues in India including gender and sexuality, land rights conflict, the environment, human settlement and migration, and caste and class divisions. The participating artists are from India and the global Indian diaspora.
Organized by Lead Curator Sunil Gupta and FotoFest Executive Director Steven Evans, FotoFest 2018 will be one of the largest exhibitions of contemporary photography by artists of Indian origin to be presented in the United States. The artists were handpicked by Mr. Gupta and Mr. Evans while journeying through multiple cities in India and across the world.
“The artists, all of Indian origin, are imagining and responding to what India means today in its myriad complexities, given its ancient culture and more recent emancipation from British colonialism,” says Biennial Lead Curator Sunil Gupta. “They were selected by a process of portfolio reviews and face-to-face meetings with nearly three times as many artists than are in the show. The final short list was arrived at by assessing the engagement of their works with both the issues and the technology that define photography in the world today.”
“It is very exciting for FotoFest to be working with this remarkable range of artists,” says Steven Evans, FotoFest Executive Director and Biennial Co-Curator. “Some are well known to those familiar with the international world of contemporary art, while others will be new discoveries, as they are exhibiting internationally for the first time. We are looking forward to bringing this work together under the rubric of the … | | |
