Original polaroid, walnut frame, museum glass | | | | | | | 18 February – 1 April, 2017 | | | | Opening: Friday 17 February, 5-7pm | | |  | | | | | | | | | | Dutch photographer Ferry van der Nat, formerly known as Mr. Polaroid, has done it all. He’s been a chef, makeup artist to a touring drag queen show, made wigs for Viktor & Rolf, and is a celebrated fashion editor, stylist and photographer. The word polymath doesn’t begin to describe the energy he has for life. Like Andy Warhol before him, it’s his intimate and provocative Polaroids of male muses, turned into a book Mr. published by MENDO, that define him as a true artist. For the first time, some of the most iconic of these Polaroids, in original form, will be exhibited at The Ravestijn Gallery in Amsterdam. Before there was Instagram there was Polaroid. Artists that defined their eras, from Warhol and Hockney to Maplethorpe, used the medium to express their creativity and to provoke. For Warhol, it was the perfect vehicle for his obsesssion with celebrity. Long before the Kardshinan’s discovered hashtags, Warhol used his Polaroid Big Shot (the same camera beloved by Ferry) to snap the rich, famous and beautiful at their most raw. And even today, we still can’t get enough of these candid images. We want to be there with them sipping champagne and swinging from chandeliers with all the beautiful people. Fast forward decades and Polaroid’s aesthetic is more powerful than any app filter – it baths its subjects in an otherworldly glow. | | | | |

What tools – both today and in the past – have been used to monitor your activities? What are the immediate and far-reaching effects? As governments and corporations around the world expand their efforts to track the communications and activities of millions of people, this not only threatens our right to privacy, but also opens the door for information to be collected and used in ways that are repressive, discriminatory, and chill freedom of speech and expression. It is in this context of massive information gathering that Watching You, Watching Me – the 22nd installment of the Open Society Foundations – explores how photography can be both an instrument of surveillance and a tool to expose and challenge its negative impact. In tackling the inherent difficulty of visualizing something that is meant to be both omnipresent and covert, the artists in this exhibition employ a dynamic range of approaches. | | | | |

| | | | | | Surveillance is not only a current topic, but also a historic phenomenon. This exhibition turns to history and addresses the particular sense of unease that surveillance has always caused, whether it was religiously or politically motivated. The title of the exhibition is based on an anonymous woodcut from 1546. This image sends a warning message from the distant past, "Beware, you are seen and heard!" Before the now-ubiquitous cameras, people were once controlled by other looks. In the age of the Enlightenment the all-seeing eye, which stood for the clear gaze of reason, symbolized the state and the law. This secular iconography drew on the religious symbol of the eye of God. This eye, a mystical, invisible entity with the power to observe a Christian’s every thought and deed, had a powerful psychological effect on believers. Be it God, the state, or technology, in this genealogy the oppressive psychological power exercised by an entity that is itself not open to scrutiny remained constant. | | | | |

© Annegret Soltau und Galerie Anita Beckers | | | | | | Das Konstrukt ICH. Das ge-zeichnete Selbst | | | | – 18 March, 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Annegret Soltau is a pioneer in the field of feminist art and Body Art, however, her works still generate controversy today. Again and again her artworks are considered offensive, are censored or pulled from exhibitions. In the digital age where the internet offers an anyonymous platform to users, such concrete and physical images seem disconcerting. Today, her work boasts an unbroken authenticity. In her work, Soltau draws her I. However, she does not need pencil and paper for this. Instead she needs a camera, a thread and her body. For over 40 years, the artist has occupied herself with her physical and mental identity. In doing so, she utilizes her environment, her family and children over and over in her work. | | | | |

| | | Sergei Parajanov. Tarkovsky Night Bird. 1987 © Sergei Parajanov Museum | | | To All The Former Angels | | | | | | | – 4 March 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | White Space Gallery in collaboration with Cultural Dialogue presents a unique exhibition of photographs and collages by three great film directors: Andrey Tarkovsky, Wim Wenders and Sergei Parajanov. The title of this exhibition is a reference to the closing title of Wim Wenders’ film Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin): "Dedicated to all the former angels, but especially to Yasujiro, François and Andrej." Andrey Tarkovsky (1932 – 1986) is widely considered to be one of the greatest filmmakers the world has ever known. He made just eight feature films before his life was cut tragically short by cancer, at the age of 54 in 1986. The show pairs Tarkovsky’s polaroids and Wim Wenders large-scale photograph “In Germany I” from the Places Strange and Quite series starting 1983 to 2011. Director Wim Wenders (born 1945), one of the most successful contemporary filmmakers, has been documenting his global wanderings since the early 80s. Sergei Parajanov (1924 – 1990) is one of the most daring and visionary directors to emerge from the former Soviet Union. Fellini, Antonioni and Tarkovsky hailed him as a “genius”, “magician” and without doubt “a master”. | | | | |

| | | © Herb Ritts Foundation, Courtesy of Hamiltons Gallery | | | | | | | - 10 March 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following the popularity of ‘Herb Ritts: Super’, Hamiltons will present ‘Herb Ritts: Super Part II’ until 10th March 2017. Hamiltons is the sole representative for world-renowned American photographer Herb Ritts in the UK. This exhibition celebrates the enduring legacy of Ritts’s photography and the gallery’s longstanding relationship with the Herb Ritts Foundation, with a selection of rare vintage gelatin silver prints of supermodels from the Foundation’s archive. Ritts was largely self-taught with no formal training in photography, yet by the late 1980s he had become a celebrity, just like the people he photographed, “a testament to his natural talents and likeability... Some people are born visually sophisticated – they don’t have to be taught composition.” (David Fahey) Ritts played an important role in ushering the era of the supermodel, “he made the models ‘super’”, and he captured images of some of the most noted individuals in film, fashion, music, politics and society. Ritts’s big break came in 1979 with portraits of the budding actor Richard Gere, which were published by Vogue, Esquire and Mademoiselle all in the same month. Ritts’s lack of formal training is partially the reason his style became so distinctive. Ritts, unlike many of the studio based photographers of the time, preferred to work outdoors and had very simple equipment requirements, often working without a tripod. The “anti-glamour” photographer, Ritts photographed his supermodels outside to make use of the natural afternoon Los Angeles light, often at the beach or in the desert. As Naomi Campbell said: “You just fall in love with that light – it’s Herb’s light”. Ritts was drawn to elemental places, where he could use the sea, sand and sky as backgrounds, and so his hometown of Los Angeles would become inextricably linked to his success, due both to the people living there and its outdoorsy lifestyle. “Herb lived that light, he grew up with that light, with that sun, with that water, with those elements, with the sand…” (Steven Meisel) | | | | |

|
| | | | | | | MEMORIES WITHIN THE ARCHIVES | | | | - 13 April 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | British art photographer Veronica Bailey’s work specializes on photographic series resulting mainly from visiting archives. Her focus is on examining the nostalgic and traditional means of furthering knowledge, revealing the charm and lure of handwriting and the feel of paper in our monotonous digital age. Her works show carefully arranged everyday life objects. In her compositions she turns books, newspapers and letters into geometrical sculptures. Faint traces of texts may be read, yet the context of each work remains enigmatic. The spectator must fully absorb the photographs in order to find his own personal interpretation. | | | | |

Archival pigment print
each 68 × 51 in; 172.7 × 129.5 cm
Edition of 6 + 2AP | | | | | | | - 4 March 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Edwynn Houk Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of Valérie Belin’s newest series, All Star. The exhibition of eleven large-scale color photographs will be on view 19 January - 4 March 2017. For this series, Belin utilizes the fantastical world of vintage comic books as the inspiration for multilayered portraits that are both visually and psychologically complex. To create the works, Belin first styles and photographs her models in dramatic lighting reminiscent of film noir. Then, selecting from an extensive collection of vintage comics, she overlays the image with the chosen comic cover before further abstracting the pictorial surface with her own graphic patterns. Bursting in from the background, the worlds of the comics interweave with the texture of the portraits to create a sophisticated composition in which variations of movement, line, depth of field and scale are all combined within one surface. The series continues Belin’s investigations of the ideas of surface, beauty, artifice, and disorder that have become consistent themes in her practice; however, in this new body of work she takes her considerations further to explore the disarray of not only the physical but also a mental world that is chaotic, saturated, and obsessive. | | |

| | Fashion Model in Chains, Paris, 1976, signé
Image : 24 x 36,7 cm, Papier : 30 x 40 cm
Gelatin Silver Print
© Estate of Helmut Newton, courtesy galerie SAGE Paris | | | NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN | | | | | | | – 8 April, 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | What connects the lascivious intimacy in the pictures made during the 1940’s by Carlo Mollino, baroque genius and free spirit, and the modern amazons glorified by Helmut Newton in their provocative eroticism during the 1980’s? The woman, muse in all the splendour of the naked body she offers to the world. Through eighteen vintage prints, SAGE Paris proposes a quick history of nude and of its evolution, from confidential images made in the 1940’s Italy, to cold stylized shots, inspired by fashion photography in the 80’s. Carlo Mollino is one of the most fascinating artistic spirit of his time. Known in his days for his designs and his architecture, as well as his sporting achievements, the public discovers after his passing in 1973 hundreds of photographs he made and hid throughout his career. This discovery pleased and stunned amateurs, and revealed another facet of both the man and the artist. Helmut Newton is a major photographer, whose style overwhelmed fashion imagery like no other before. Portraits, nudes, fashion photograph, are the main focus of his works, and the three themes interweave, fashion photography mingling with nudes and erotic portraits. For Newton, moreover, the nature of fashion photography itself is to produce something else than fashion photography “I still believe that the perfect fashion photograph is a photograph that does not look like a fashion photograph. It’s a photograph that looks like something out of a movie, like a portrait, maybe a souvenir shot, maybe a paparazzi shot, anything but a fashion photograph”. | | | | |

| | | Romania, 1968 © Josef Koudelka/Magnum Photos | | | | | | | – 15 April 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | As the very last panel of ‘The official program of the Korea-France Year 2015-2016’, The Museum of Photography, Seoul organizes a solo exhibition of Czech-born French photographer, Josef Koudelka to celebrate the program’s closing. He is known best in both Korea and abroad for his black-and-white images of Europe’s itinerant Roma, or gypsies people. Another acclaimed series is Invasion 68 Prague, which he photographed the night of August 21st, when Warsaw Pact tanks invaded the city of Prague. In 1970, he sought asylum in England and continued the series Exile(1970~1994), and Wall, which reflects well his delicate views and sensibilities, while being stateless. From 1971, he becomes the member of Magnum Photos. Koudelka’s very first exhibition in Korea introduces the early work Gypsies, representative of the pure sensitivity of the artist. The book Gypsies, first published in 1975 in cooperation with Robert Delpire, published by Aperture, proclaimed the emergence of “Josef Koudelka” in the world which immediately acknowledged his novel and distinct vision. It was not a traditional reportage, nor was it documentary. It was his personal vision, which doesn’t fit into any category. | | | | |
