| | | Sonya and Dombrovsky, Odessa, 2018 © Alec Soth / Magnum Photos, loan from Loock Galerie, Berlin | | | Alec Soth » I Know How Furiously Your Heart is Beating | | | | ... until 6 December 2020 | | |  | | | | | | | | | | Magnum photographer Alec Soth (1969) has become known as the chronicler of life at the American margins of the United States. He made a name as a photographer with his 2004 series Sleeping by the Mississippi, encountering unusual and often overlooked places and people as he travelled along the river banks. A major retrospective in 2015 was followed by a period of seclusion and introspection, during which Soth did not travel and barely photographed. His most recent project, I Know How Furiously Your Heart is Beating, is the result of this personal search, and marks a departure from Soth’s earlier work. The photographer slowed down his work process and turned the lens inward. Foam presents the first museum exhibition of his new series, consisting of portraits of remarkable people in their habitat, and still-lifes of their personal belongings.
Starting point was a portrait Soth made in 2017 of the then 97-year-old choreographer Anna Halprin in her home in California. The interaction with this exceptional woman in her most intimate surroundings meant a breakthrough for Soth. Instead of focusing on a place, a community or demography, he concentrated on individuals and their private settings. Unlike many of Soth’s previous visual narratives, the choice of geographical location was not preconceived, but the result of a series of chance encounters. | | |

| | | Eva Brunner: from the series No Escape from Paradise | | | | | | | | 16 October – 8 November, 2020 | | | Opening: Thursday, 15 October, 7-9 pm
Part of Monat der Fotografie Off Berlin 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the pictures of Eva Brunner, the garden of Eden presents itself as a labyrinthine place, a hallucination between naturalness and artificiality, separated from the earthly but yet grounded again in the human body. Can we escape from this eternal happiness? Or are we captivated in the permanent search for happiness? Dazzled by beauty of frequently mystical apparition, we find ourselves immersed in a world which no longer follows any logic of space and time. In a permanent alternation of perspectives and moods of light, photographs of paradisiacal landscapes or enigmatic body presentations are merging with traces of civilization to form a surreal stream of imagery. (Text: Wolfgang Zurborn)
Swiss born Eva was a masterclass student of Arno Fischer at the Ostkreuzschule Berlin (2007-2011), followed by workshops with Anders Petersen, Sven Marquardt & Wolfgang Zurborn.

| | | | | | | | ... until 17 January 2021 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Schmidt (1945–2014) occupies a unique position in contemporary German photography. Born in Berlin and with no formal training in photography, he discovered the medium as a form of artistic expression in the mid-1960s. The retrospective at the Hamburger Bahnhof portrays his life’s work chronologically for the first time and also represents the first exhibition of the photographer’s oeuvre in his hometown of Berlin in 25 years.
For each of his work groups, Schmidt developed an individual photographic method of accessing reality. These include portraits, self-portraits, cityscapes, landscapes and still lifes. Along with the series Waffenruhe (1987), Ein-heit (1996), Lebensmittel (2012) and other original photographs, the exhibition presents unpublished working prints, book designs and archival materials to illustrate the development of Schmidt’s art, which through its continual exploration and innovation has been seminal for a younger generation of photographers.
A 400-page catalogue published by Koenig Books accompanies the exhibition and contains essays by Ute Eskildsen, Janos Frecot, Peter Galassi, Heinz Liesbrock and Thomas Weski, all of whom worked with the artist on various projects.
Following the exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof, the retrospective will be shown at the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris (11 May – 29 August 2021), the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid (28 September 2021 – 28 February 2022) and the Albertina Museum in Vienna (24 March –12 June 2022). | | |

Artist Talk: Thursday, 15 October 6.30 pm with Dr. Kristina Lowis and Regina Schmeken (with registration only) | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exhibition "Black is White" presents figures and forms from various scenes. The selection from the past 40 years, curated by Luise Holke and the artist herself, invites the visitor to discover the art of comment through photography and Schmeken’s particular view. Precise observations, pictures meant to grow into historical monuments over time: from the fall of the Berlin wall via all but abstract athletic bodies in movement to an impressive portrait of Greta Thunberg behind a fence that seems to keep her and her generation from taking over. Schmekens subjective seizure of the moment sharpens the viewer’s perception in an ever moving, fleeting world.
Regina Schmeken (*1955) works with photography as an artistic medium since 1976. For her early works she received the Prix de la Critique of the Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie in Arles in 1978. First acquisitions were made by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France in Paris and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Schmeken‘s works have been shown in exhibitions since the beginning of the 1980s. Recently, her large format series about the crime scenes of the NSU received much attention. She works for the Süddeutsche Zeitung since 1986.
The works on show in Bordeaux are drawn from various series: on the German unification era 1989/90, motion studies (dance, soccer, pole vault, fencing) and political personalities and events. Regina Schmeken lives and works in Berlin.

| | | ZEELAND © Jeroen Hofman | | | | | | | | 16 September 2020 ‐ 15 September 2021 | | | | | | | | | | | | | "(…) a place where endless thoughts make way for endless horizons." Jeroen Hofman
From the Luxembourgish vantage point, "the North" – provided it doesn’t begin within its own borders – is only three hours away by car.
"Zeeland" is a popular holiday destination in general. People from various nationalities gather here, at the edge of the North Sea. The coastline still shows so-called natural traces within the cultural landscape, meaning that this land was shaped by two forces, nature and humankind.
This is a multifaceted landscape: harsh, raw, fine, empty, and seemingly endless. This region, which Jeroen Hofman visually describes, represents a bridge between the past and the current era. Its history is reflected in the waves breaking on the sand of its vast beaches. The flat strips of open land reaching all the way to the horizon set a very particular scene for the northern light. A characteristic light depicted perfectly by the 17th century Dutch painters. The current face of the same landscape is marked by ingenious solutions of creative and motivated individuals defying the seasons and the tides to demand compensation from the soil for what the sea has always and continues to reclaim.
The constant confrontation of these opposing forces is barely visible in the visual harmony of the panoramas. All tension and divergences seem to fade under the colourful spectacle of grey clouds and wide blue skies. But a strong impression remains, a light saltiness of the tongue, caused by the wind coming from the NORTH.

| | | Luo Yang, Elle Peril, GIRLS, 2017 © Luo Yang |
| | | | | | | | 21 October 2020 – 21 February 2021 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The young Chinese photographer Luo Yang (born 1984) is being shown for the first time in a solo exhibition in Austria. Approximately 50-60 photographs from the series GIRLS and YOUTH will be on display in the Francisco Carolinum.
Luo Yang studied graphic design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang, but turned to photography after graduating. Between 2008 and 2016 she created the extensive series GIRLS, a very personal examination by the photographer of women of her generation. Whether against the backdrop of Chinese megacities or in intimate settings in their private lives, the young women appear self-confident and individual, while at the same time coming across as vulnerable and fragile. Away from traditional female role models and traditional stereotypes, they are on a quest to achieve a self-determined life in modern China.
In the series YOUTH, Luo Yang has been focusing since 2019 on adolescents of Generation Z, that is to say those born in the 1990s and around 2000. Here, fluid gender classifications become just as clear as the search for individual expression between creative staging and authentic body awareness. Luo Yang draws a sensitive picture of urban Chinese youth in search of orientation and identity. | | |

| | | Roger Ballen: Discussion, 2018 © Roger Ballen | | | THE PLACE OF THE MIND | | | | Roger Ballen » RETROSPECTIVE | | | | 14 October 2020 – 14 February 2021 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Roger Ballen’s errily beautiful photographs are populated by outsiders, animals, and enigmatic objects. With his photographic stagings, which create a strange and perplexing atmosphere, Roger Ballen dives into the abysmal depths of the human psyche. Born in New York in 1950, Roger Ballen is one of the most important and influential international art photographers of today. For more than 40 years, he has been living and working in Johannesburg, South Africa. With his both fascinating and unsettling work, he occupies a unique position in contemporary photography, situated somewhere between documentation and fiction.
At the Francisco Carolinum, the OÖLKG presents the first comprehensive museum solo exhibition of the renowned photographic artist in Austria. The show features works from all of the artist's important series and creative periods: from his early work in the late 1960s which was influenced by photojournalism, to his multi-faceted film oeuvre to current colour photographs. In addition to his photographs, the museum will be showing many of his well known films including his very most recent production Roger the Rat.
Roger Ballen became internationally known with disconcerting photo-documentary works showing underprivileged whites and their precarious living conditions during apartheid. With his unsparing eye for the banal and grotesque, Roger Ballen portrayed the inhabitants and architecture of barren rural communities in South Africa in the 1980s and early 1990s without any socially critical or voyeuristic attitude. While he continued to place outsiders and those on the fringe of society at the centre of his pictures, staging and psychologizing became more and more important in later series of Roger Ballen’s work.

| | Didier Goupy, série "Fondations"
Le saule rieur du Fief Champêtre, Fontenoy, Aisne, France, mars 2019
Tirage pigmentaire, 60 x 90 cm, Édition de 3
© Didier Goupy, courtesy Galerie Esther Woerdehoff | | | | | | | | | | | 14 — 31 October 2020 | | | | Opening reception: Wednesday 14 October 18:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The gallery is pleased to present the exhibition, which brings together two artists who seem, at first glance, to oppose each other, Jens Knigge and Didier Goupy. Their series tell two versions of the same story, that of the environment and that of calm.
Didier Goupy's dark wood and silent forest are the source of life, eternal and renewed, planetary lung, in a deep and ancient relationship with humans. Jens Knigge's plastic objects, presented in sublime platinum-palladium prints, precious and much more durable than the object he represents, are material for everyday tools, symbol of technological progress of the twentieth century is now a huge source of pollution, by its brief life and its impossible disappearance.
Jens Knigge's series "Single Used" sublimates transparent disposable crockery in a luminous work of photographic still life that recalls the aesthetics of the New Objectivity. In nine large-format photograms, the Days of a Bag series reflects the fragility of a plastic bag, placed directly on sensitive paper, whose initial manufactured purity is seen crumpling, twisting and damaging. These beautiful and menacing forms evoke jellyfish and remind us of the danger of this pollution to marine animals. Millions of identical plastic bags are lost every day in the environment after a single use. Unique as is paradoxically the image produced, a precious platinum-palladium photogram and much more durable than the object it represents.
The works of Didier Goupy, who exhibits for the first time at the gallery, transport us to the forest, a place refuge of the photographer during the confinement, in an intimate and very personal vision of nature and its perception. The artist began his search based on a first memory of the tree frond, seen from his pram. With his photographs, he explores the forest, as a world near and far at the same time, which has its own logic and follows the seasons. Choosing a point of view at eye level, very close to the trees, the photographer offers us an almost abstract vision. | | |

These evening events are part of a cycle of immersive exhibitions entitled ‘Save the Planet’ which present, every other year, an original immersive work by a committed artist.
After an exhibition devoted to Yann Arthus-Bertrand in 2018, for the benefit of the Good Planet Foundation, this year the British artist Jimmy Nelson’s photographs with their sumptuous compositions will feature on the walls of the Atelier des Lumières.
A voyage of around forty minutes in the heart of the last indigenous cultures and landscapes around the globe, ‘The Last Sentinels’, created by the studio Spectre Lab, celebrates the diversity of these peoples that live in harmony with nature.
By holding this immersive exhibition, Culturespaces is financially supporting the Jimmy Nelson Foundation, which strives to bring together the peoples of the world around the preservation of humankind’s natural and cultural heritage. | | |

Courtesy of the artist and Metro Pictures, New York | | | | | | | | 14 October 2020 – 13 March 2021 | | | | Opening reception: Thursday 15 October 12:00pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lessons of the Hour is a ten-screen film installation and photography exhibition by Isaac Julien, CBE RA, thatexplores the life of the visionary African American writer, abolitionist, statesman, and freed slave Frederick Douglass. Incorporating excerpts from Douglass’ speeches and dramatizations of his private and public milieus, the centerpiece of the exhibition, Lessons of the Hour — Frederick Douglass (2019) offers a contemplative, poetic journey into Douglass’ zeitgeist and a forceful suggestion that the lessons of the abolitionist’s hour have yet to be learned.
Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) is a pivotal figure in the history of abolitionism and social reform in the United States who delivered anti-slavery campaigns across the northern United States and the United Kingdom. He was active in the women’s suffrage movement and published three autobiographies which continue to wield cultural influence. The most photographed man of the nineteenth-century, Douglass was a prominent proponent of the medium as a means by which Black people could control their likenesses beyond caricature.
Lessons’ narrative unfolds across multiple screens of different sizes, hung salon-style, to create what Julien describes as a “horizontal montage.” The presentation not only echoes the picture-hanging conventions of the era but allows the artist to draw connections between many images at once without relegating any particular detail to the background. Julien filmed Lessons at sites that hold historical significance to the abolitionist’s life, including The Frederick Douglass National Historic Site in Washington, DC, where he lived later in his life, and in the United Kingdom, where Douglass delivered … | | |

from the exhibition: "MARTHA COOPER: TAKING PICTURES" URBAN NATION - MUSEUM FOR URBAN CONTEMPORARY ART | | | EMOP BERLIN — EUROPEAN MONTH OF PHOTOGRAPHY | | | | 500 artists in more than 100 Berlin-based institutions | | | | | | | October 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 9th edition of EMOP Berlin — European Month of Photography will take place from 1—31 October 2020. More than 100 Berlin museums, galleries, cultural institutions, embassies, alternative art spaces, project spaces, and photography schools will offer a wide range of exhibitions and events showcasing the beloved and celebrated medium in all its diversity. This year’s main theme is Europe — Identity, Crisis, Future. Further topics such as 30 years of German reunification and 100 years of Greater Berlin, as well as classical genres such as portrait, architectural, and fashion photography will also be represented.
Thanks to its decentralized program with numerous partner institutions and parallel exhibitions, EMOP Berlin can take place in autumn regardless of any possible restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic. Suitable measures regarding entrances and other hygiene requirements will be taken in response to the situation as needed.
In 2016 and 2018, the EMOP Opening Days were held at C/O Berlin Foundation in Amerika Haus to kick off the festival. This year, Kulturprojekte Berlin is working together with Akademie der Künste; the EMOP Opening Days will take place from 1—4 October at Pariser Platz. Under the main theme of Photography between Art, Politics, and Mass Media, an extensive program with internationally renowned photographers, curators, media experts, and journalists will be offered. Panel discussions, artist talks, discursive events, a film program, and guided tours of the exhibition by the photographers of OSTKREUZ will mark the beginning of this year’s Month of Photography.
At the end of March 2020, 110 projects were selected for participation by this year’s jury, consisting of Thomas Licek (former Managing Director of Eyes On, Vienna), Barbara Esch Marowski (Director, Haus am Kleistpark), Annette Hauschild (photographer, OSTKREUZ — Agentur der Fotografen), Dr. Susanne Holschbach (art and media scholar, lecturer, Neue Schule für Fotografie), and Dr. Christiane Stahl (Director, Alfred Ehrhardt Foundation). Excerpt from the Jury 2020 statement: “The 9th edition of the festival in Berlin will once again showcase photographic gems and offer an exciting and aesthetically sophisticated examination of photography that is sure to bring this multifaceted medium closer to thousands of visitors.” | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | FESTIVAL LA GACILLY-BADEN PHOTO 2020
The festival will take place 14 July (French National Holiday) to 26 October 2020 (Austrian National Holiday).
The festival is entering its third year and it has become a communicator of topics with a strong humanistic orientation showcasing the various aspects of the relationships between people and their environment.
The festival extends over a length of 7 kilometers – divided into a "garden route" and a "town route", starting from the visitor center on Brusattiplatz. Integrated into the public space, there are about 2,000 photographs to be seen, some as large as up to 280m2.
It is the largest outdoor photography festival in Europe, visited by 266,751 visitors in 2019. Entry is free.
NEVER GIVE UP! – This is the motto 2020, which combines the work of the photographers of the Festival La Gacilly-Baden Photo in two impressive themes: "All Eyes East" and "Renaissance".
Renaissance or rebirth – stands for the commitment and awareness of the exhibiting photographers for our planet Earth with their work, just like festival founder Jacques Rocher with his gigantic 100 million trees reforestation project "Plant for the Planet".
Rebirth consequently means the hope of change for the better of our world. In this sense, remembering the Fall of the Berlin Wall 31 years ago as a unique example of how the wind of freedom triggered Glasnost (openness) and Perestroika (remodeling). And thus enabled the modernization of the social, political and economic system of the former Soviet Union, which ultimately led to the end of the Cold War. | | |
