| | | © Renato D'Agostin, Bosphorus, Istanbul, 2013 | | | | | | | | until 15 September 2018 | | |  | | | | | | | | | | For this exhibition, works from several of his well-known series have been brought together under the theme Metropolis, showcasing his explorations of modern life in cities, as well as the way he captures how people relate to their environment and their intimate relationship with the space they inhabit.
D’Agostin started his photography career in his hometown Venice, Italy in 2001. The atmosphere of city life nourished his curiosity to capture life situations with the camera. This inspired him to journey through the capitals of Western Europe, capturing their nuances, the cities all acting as his muse. After a period at Milan’s Italian Institute of Photography and moving overseas to New York three years later, one of his first gallery show was comprised of the mostly black-and-white images he’d taken on that trip. The lands of chiaroscuro, black and white, he says ‘takes the image farther from reality and closer to our imagination.’
D’Agostin’s work plays with themes inherently modern: perceptions of reality, notions of privacy, the relationship between the architecture and people and opening a new portal in the spectator’s imagination. The explorations of these ideas are related to his fascination for cities, which for him are ‘…multi-layered entities where elements interact with each other. Going through them is like floating through someone’s psychology.’ | | |

Courtesy Ravestijn Gallery, Amsterdam | | | | | | | | until 2 September 2018 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Alinka Echeverría's project The Road to Tepeyac is about devout Mexican pilgrims carrying their personal image of the Virgin of Guadalupe on the anniversary of her apparition in 1531.
Alinka Echeverría (born 1981 in Mexico City) is an artist that works with photography’s expanded field. She holds a Masters degree in Social Anthropology and Development from the University in Edinburgh (2004) as well as a post graduate degree in photography from the International Center for Photography in New York (2008). With her combined training in photography and social anthropology, she brings a critical approach to questions of visual representation.
In “The Road to Tepeyac” her social anthropological background is clear. By highlighting all the devout Mexican pilgrims carrying their personal image of the Virgin of Guadalupe on the anniversary of her apparition in 1531, she shows the kaleidoscopic experience of multiple re-presentations of the sacred image and deconstructs the historical, political, philosophical, psychological and anthropological relationship between an invisible presence and its materialized expression. | | |

| | | Şükran Moral, Married with Three Men, 2010 (Video still). Video of the performance. © of the work of art, Şükran Moral, 2018 | | | | | | | | 13 July – 19 September 2018 | | | | Opening reception: Thursday 12 July 20:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Like every summer, Es Baluard is inviting an international artist to present a thematic project in the Aljub space, just as Miao Xiaochun, Michael Najjar, Thomas Hirschhorn and the Russian collective AES+F have done in the past. This year we are highlighting feminist activism by recognising the work of the Turkish artist Şükran Moral, under the curatorship of Claudia Giannetti, who directed an important retrospective on her at the Edith Russ Haus für Medienart, Oldenburg, German back in 2014. The first solo exhibition in Spain of the internationally known Turkish artist Şükran Moral will be exhibiting four of her major works at Es Baluard Museu d’Art Modern i Contemporani de Palma. Moral is one of the most influential figures of contemporary Turkish art. Her works and performative videos deal with boundary issues of gender roles and their power structures. She provokes by breaking taboos, challenging traditions and hierarchical structures of social, cultural and political nature as well as questioning the framework conditions of art history. Moral inscribes her artistic actions in public space – dominated by formal and informal, acknowledged or imposed social rules – in order to provoke a kind of short circuit in perceptual mechanisms. Be it in a brothel (Bordello, 1997), a Turkish bath for men (Hammam, a performance realised in 1997 for the Biennale in Istanbul), a village square (Marriage with Three Men, 2010), the attitude that the artist assumes in these spaces departs completely from the epic theatrical concept in order to approach what the great Spanish writer Francisco de Quevedo calls the experience of the ‘world from the inside’. | | |

| | | | 10th EDITION OF THE CARMIGNAC PHOTOJOURNALISM AWARD | | | | THEME: THE AMAZON | | | CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

https://www.picter.com/prix-carmignac/10th-edition-the-amazon/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 10th edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award is dedicated to the Amazon and will address issues related to its deforestation.
The Amazon is a vast region covering the territory of nine nations: Brazil, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. The region has a surface area of 5,500,000 km² and is crossed by the Amazon river, the second longest river in the world and the largest by discharge volume of water. The Amazon alone accounts for half of the remaining tropical forests on the planet. It is home to 70% of the world's biodiversity and to one in ten of the world’s species.
This territory is home to 30 million people, including 350 indigenous groups, most of whom live in their natural habitats, but the development of economic activities in the region mean that this ecosystem is under more threat than ever before.
Since 1999 at least 2,200 new species have been discovered in the Amazon biome, but with 17% of the Amazon’s surface area already destroyed, the rainforest is increasingly vulnerable. Responsibility for the degradation and destruction of this fragile natural environment lies with climate change, but also human activity. The consequences are multiple and both local and global: greenhouse gas emissions, destruction of biodiversity, hydrological alterations and even soil erosion.
The 10th edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award aims to support an investigative photography project that will highlight the upheavals to the Amazon rainforest and encourage reflection of the consequences of massive deforestation.
The photographers must submit their projects before 12am (GMT) on Sunday 7 of October 2018, by applying online on: | | |

www.la-driveby.com/kickstarter | | | | | | | | | | | | | LA DRIVE-BY 1996-2001
LA Drive-By dives deep into an unknown Los Angeles. Shot out of the car the series focuses on Central and Southern Los Angeles. Drifting thousands of miles through the endless city I was confronted with obscure and dark places, the unpredictability and the giant puls of the city.
The series was shot from 1996 - 2001 on Polapan35 - a 35 mm b+w instant Polaroid slide film discontinued in 2000. Due to the chemical changes over the last 20 years different layers of temporality are apparent. The images are digitally unaltered.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The photo book novelty by the renown Dutch book designer Sybren Kuiper (SYB), again challenges the limits of book design. Numerous fold-out pages to the left, right, top and bottom display the photographs in the book up to eight times the original page size - leaving the viewer with the impression of looking at multiple posters inside a photo book. This innovative design reflects my cruising explorations through LA and the designer’s philosophy that "the viewing should be an experience in itself, not linear - but like drifting through the city at random".
The text by the legendary German film critic Andreas Kilb, refers to my photographs as tarot cards that "tell the future of the city that once was desert and will be desert again" while simultaneously evoking LA’s darkest movie scenes.
Printed and specially hand bound in the Netherlands, the hardcover book will contain 82 images with 20 fold-outs on 192 pages. In a first edition of 500 numbered and signed copies, it will meet the highest standards of book production | | |

WITH 400 000 VISITORS, THE FESTIVAL LA GACILLY PHOTO IS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PHOTO FESTIVAL IN EUROPE. JACQUES ROCHER, today President of the Fondation Yves Rocher, initiated a festival of photography in 2004 in his birthplace La Gacilly (FR). It was dedicated to the theme of Man and the Environment. Convinced that it is our duty to engage with the future of our planet and to look for humanistic and sustainable concepts for our interaction with nature and with each other, he and his Leading Team turned the Festival La Gacilly Photo into an event that has set an international standard of social relevance in bringing together artistic photography and photojournalism. THE FESTIVAL LA GACILLY-BADEN PHOTO CELEBRATES ITS LAUNCH IN 2018. It complements the work in La Gacilly by expanding it and embedding it within a European context. | | |

IN VIVO takes its inspiration from a rich tradition of a love for nature and shows images of a confrontational beauty, which upon closer examination expose the extent to which our experience of nature is directed by economic, social and cultural shifts. Thirty photographers from eleven different countries show us their view on the experience of nature, an essential part of our identity. Research has shown that nature has a positive influence on our health, lowers stress and stimulates creativity. Nature is therefore a significant contributing factor to our well-being, however cultivated it is. IN VIVO challenges the viewer to look in a different, layered way at the living experiment we call nature. | | |

| | | João Pereira de Araújo, Taquari District, Brazil, March 2015, from the series "Submerged Portraits" © Gideon Mendel | | | | | | | Workshop: Saturday/Sunday, 21/22 July, 2018, 10 am–6 pm
Lecture: Friday, 20 July, 6pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | This workshop will focus on the depiction of objects, materiality, memory and history in direct relationship with family history, personal memory or feelings. Participants will be asked to bring a variety of items (these could be documents, objects, even non-physical like anecdotes and crucial memories) relating to their own emotional and social legacy. A wide range of approaches is equally valid, from deeply individual/personal engagement through to more social and historical approaches. The collaborative engagement with Gideon Mendel will focus on visual responses to these items – and an interrogation of how they might be depicted photographically. In essence this will be an ‘anti still life’ workshop and a deeply personal process is anticipated. The focus of the workshop will be on finding ways to make these objects and the stories they represent meaningful to a wider audience. This will be an active hands-on experience with a conceptual overlay consisting of a series of individual and group feedback sessions. All participants are asked to bring digital cameras and laptops to allow for rapid experimentation and assessment of work. Gideon Mendel’s intimate style of image-making and long-term commitment to socially engaged projects has earned him international acclaim. Born in Johannesburg in 1959, Mendel established his career with his searing photographs of the final years of apartheid. In 1991 he moved to London, and continued to respond to global issues, especially HIV/AIDS. Since 2007, Mendel has been working on "Drowning World", an art and advocacy project about flooding that is his personal response to climate change. Solo shows of "Drowning World" have been shown at many galleries and public installations around the world, most recently at Les Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles. During 2016, Mendel received the inaugural Jackson Pollock Prize for Creativity and the Greenpeace Photo Award. Shortlisted for the Prix Pictet in 2015, he has also received the Eugene Smith Award for Humanistic Photography, the Amnesty International Media Award and six World Press awards. From 24 May to 9 September, 2018 the Fotografie Forum Frankfurt is presenting works by Gideon Mendel in the exhibition EXTREME. ENVIRONMENTS for RAY 2018. In addition, a lecture by Gideon Mendel will take place on Friday, 20 July, 2018 at 6 pm at Fotografie Forum Frankfurt. The Workshop and Lecture will be held in English. Workshop registration is open until June 29, 2018 on the FFF website:
