| William Eggleston, Louisiana, 1971 – 1974, from the series Los Alamos, 1965 - 1974 © Eggleston Artistic Trust / Courtesy David Zwirner, New York/London | | | | 17 March - 7 June 2017 | | Opening reception: Thursday 16 March 5:30 pm | | | | | | | | The American photographer William Eggleston (1939, Memphis Tennessee, US) is widely considered one of the leading photographers of the past decades. He has been a pioneer of colour photography from the mid-1960s onwards, and transformed everyday America into a photogenic subject. In the exhibition William Eggleston – Los Alamos, Foam displays 75 photographs that were taken on various road trips through the southern states of America between 1966 and 1974. The exhibition includes a number of iconic images, amongst which Eggleston’s first colour photograph. Los Alamos starts in Eggleston’s home town of Memphis and the Mississippi Delta and continues to follow his wanderings through New Orleans, Las Vegas and south California, ending at Santa Monica Pier. During a road trip with writer and curator William Hopps, Eggleston also passed through Los Alamos, the place in New Mexico where the nuclear bomb was developed in secret and to which the series owes its name. | |

| Untitled from Matter/Burn Out, 2016 © Daisuke Yokota / courtesy of the artist and G/P Gallery | | | | Foam Paul Huf Award winner 2016 | | 17 March - 4 June 2017 | | | | | | | | In the exhibition Matter, Foam presents new three-dimensional work by Daisuke Yokota (Saitama, b. 1983). Three installations revolve around the tactile aspects of photography, in which the outcome of the artwork is not determined by the camera, but by experiments with the material forms of the medium. Previously in his artistic practice Yokota would re-use images that he took years ago, but that keep re-appearing in different ways through various analogue and digital processes. In these new works it's not the image that keeps being reinvented, but the physical photo print and film. The artist is at the frontline of a new movement of Japanese experimental photographers. Yokota is working out of, and pushing forward, a Japanese photography tradition that harks back to the intuitive experimentation of the Provoke generation. In this exhibition, Yokota focuses on the aspect of volume and material of photography, pushing the medium and its perception forward into ever more original directions. | |

Mårten Lange: „Woman with Phone“, 2015 |
|
| | | | 18 March – 20 May, 2017 | | Opening Reception: Friday, 17 March, 7pm | | | | | | | | Robert Morat Gallery is thrilled to be able to present new works by Swedish photographer Mårten Lange this spring season and during Berlin Gallery Weekend. „Recent Work“ combines works from the photographer’s three latest series: "Citizen", 2015, is a series of larger than life portraits of common city pigeons. "These animals are overlooked, hated even, but a this level of magnification they become individuals. I like that, the elevation of the banal“, says Lange. „We share urban life with the pigeons, an oftentimes quite hostile or alienating space, and they are citizens too!" | |

| "After morning prayers, a lone monk stands in a doorway leading from the main sanctuary at Sakya Monastery," 2007 © Marissa Roth | | | | Infinite Light: A Photographic Meditation on Tibet | | March 19 – May 21, 2017 | | Opening reception: March 18, 5-7pm | | | | | | | | "This project is my love letter to Tibet. It is the reflection of my inner and outer journeys to this land and a very personal impressionistic view of what it feels like to be in Tibet. It is also a social and political statement and another cry for awareness about what is being irrevocably lost. I had always wanted to go to Tibet and finally ventured there in May of 2007. Like many others, I was familiar with images of Tibet and the vibrant palette of colors and vast clarity of details that are evident due to the region’s dryness and high altitude. Up until that point, most of my personal photography was in black and white, but in Tibet I chose to photograph with the last of the Kodachrome film. I knew that the deep reds of the monasteries and monks’ and nuns’ robes would sing with this medium, but that the subtle colors of the stones … | | |

| (Detail) © Roger Ballen, Courtesy Hamiltons Gallery, London | | | | 17 March – 21 April, 2017 | | | | | | | | Hamiltons presents Roger Ballen’s most recent and highly anticipated body of work The Theatre of Apparitions for the first time as a series. In true Ballenesque style, the series takes the reader on a journey into their subconscious. Ballen’s choice of title is to convey the theatrical mechanics in which mental forms of life – dreams, the imagination and memories – act out on stage for the psyche. Ballen was inspired by hand-drawn carvings he saw on blacked-out windows in an abandoned women’s prison, where a prisoner had drawn figures into the black paint leaving herself with nothing but the dim light and stark walls. This led to Ballen’s own experimentation with spray paints on glass, on which Ballen would then either draw on or remove the paint from to let light through, resulting in otherworldly, pre-historic-like cave paintings. Like the unconscious, these drawings are timeless. The black, dimensionless spaces on the glass are canvases for Ballen’s thoughts to be carved. Ballen says the images were rarely planned, but rather the results of a spontaneous process in which the material created mysterious and unimaginable outcomes. Such images are not purely drawings, as without Ballen’s extensive knowledge in black and white art photography, capturing such drawings would not have been possible. His deep understanding of the ability of the camera to integrate form and content was crucial in creating these unique images.The images explore the relationships between human and canine, bird and beast, harking back to ancient shamanistic visions and sacred symbols that Ballen believes to be inherited and imbedded in humans through evolution. | | |

| Ryuji Taira: Cadence, II, 2014 | | | | – 15 April, 2017 | | | | | | | | A true treat for the eyes is currently on view at the Clairefontaine gallery in Luxembourg: still life photographs from concentration and inner peace, which are printed with precious platinum palladium on a high quality Gampi paper. Ryuji Taira is a quiet observer, he loves nature and loneliness. He explains that, during hikes, faded plants or dead insects often fascinate him. An ephemeral nature expressed through them inspires the artist to seek a new beginning. He wants to immortalize the fragile beauty of these creations on platinum palladium prints. Giving an eternal character to their lives, their aesthetic appearance between life and death. Even dandelion clocks, which are poised to be blown away by the next blast of wind, are worth being worked carefully, crafted on an excellent quality paper with the best metal, and be turned into a piece of art for everlasting preservation and contemplation. | | |

| DONNA April 1990 © Giovanni Gastel / Image Service S.r.l. | | | | 15 March – 1 June 2017 | | Opening reception: Wednesday 15 March 7:00pm | | | | | | | | What fascinates me about photography is that it has no relation to reality; it is the interruption of the constant flow of time. From eternal movement, life, to eternal immobility; it alludes to the real to create a real parallel”. For more than forty years, Giovanni Gastel has created a world of fashion and photography all his own. His photographs have appeared on the covers and pages of top fashion magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, Elle, Donna, Mondo Uomo Glamour, Femme, Amica, Sette, and have been featured in museums and private collections all over the world. Gastel was born in Milan in 1955 and is descendant in a lineage of an ancient Italian family, the Viscontis. His uncle, the famous Italian film director, Luchino Visconti, first introduced the young artist to the world of art and cinema. Giovanni started to look for work as an actor, playing in performances and then looked to literature and poetry. He had intentions to dedicate his life to literature and did not give up his passion for such mediums even after he began pursuing photography full-time. | | |

| Deana Lawson (b. 1979), Ring Bearer, 2016. Inkjet print, 43 x 54 in. (109.2 x 137.2 cm). Collection of the artist; courtesy Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Chicago, and Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York | | Whitney Biennial 2017 | | | | 17 March – 11 June 2017 | | | | | | | | The 2017 Whitney Biennial, the seventy-eighth installment of the longest-running survey of American art, arrives at a time rife with racial tensions, economic inequities, and polarizing politics. Throughout the exhibition, artists challenge us to consider how these realities affect our senses of self and community. The Biennial features sixty-three individuals and collectives whose work takes a wide variety of forms, from painting and installation to activism and video-game design. Deana Lawson’s carefully staged photographs capture scenes of self-love, friendship, romance, familial connection, and desire. Her subjects often gaze directly at the viewer, boldly commanding the experience of being viewed. In doing so, Lawson’s images subvert the ways in which portrayals of Black bodies are often subject to biased perceptions of Black personhood in American culture. While her images are inspired by traditional family photo albums, Lawson’s works feature strangers, individuals she casts from the street for compositions of her own design. Her portraits, full of memory and possibility, invite the viewer to reckon with how people imagine and invent stories about themselves and others in the world. | |

| Wilhelm von Gloeden, Courtesy Galerie David Guiraud | | The Arcadian Shepherds | | Les bergers d'Arcadie | | | | - 13 May, 2017 | | | | | | | | Galerie David Guiraud is proud to present, with the complicity of baudoin lebon, an exceptional collection of photographs by Wilhem Von Gloeden, Guglielmo Plüschow and Vincenzo Galdi, recently found in the archives of the Galerie Texbraun, in Paris. • Pioneers in the history of photography Two expatriated German aristocrats in Italy and a young Italian model, initiated to the art of photography, these are the pioneers of the masculine and homo-erotic photography at the turn of the 19th and the 20th century. The images by Von Gloeden and Plüschow have deeply influenced the history of photography, they are marked by their knowledge of greek and roman antiquity. The authors set their first models in archeological sites and immortalised sublimes mediterranean skies and landscapes, settings of heroic stories. The male nudes that they made wore ephebe’s accessories, aureoled with flowers and dressed with unchaste clothes, which all evoke the texts by Virgile and the Idylles by Théocrite. The models are young workers from Rome or peasants and fishermen from Sicily. It is the first oeuvre exclusively devoted to male nudes (portraits, nudes and outside compositions). | | |

| Helmut Newton: Saddle I, from the series Sleepless Nights, Paris 1976 © Helmut Newton Estate | | Strike A Pose | | | | 17 March - 29 April, 2017 | | Opening reception: Thursday, 16 March, 5-8 pm | | | | | | | | The power of the photographer behind the camera and the choice of models, direct our time and the image of our history. Grundemark Nilsson Gallery has curated a selection of iconic photographs along with new ones in the group exhibition Strike a Pose, where the focus is on the act of posing as well as on the power of the photographer. Helmut Newton (1920-2004, Germany/USA) created his own world of beauty, luxury, eroticism and decay. His way of working is unique and his photographs recognized as very Newton, rarely mistaken for anyone else’s. The image in the exhibition Strike a Pose is a classic piece and has everything you expect from a Newton photograph. The unconventional pose and sadomasochistic flirt has made the image well-known and very admired. All of these photographers have a dignity and an expression that shines through in the images – in how they direct, how they use the light and who they choose to work with. They show their own expressions in a world of excessive competition, and they see a person in the model and a model in the person. | | |

| | | Autobiography as Memory | | | | – 23 Mar 2017 | | FOCUS Photography Festival Mumbai takes place every two years, in the month of March. In March 2017, this theme will explore how photographs and photographers have used the medium to construct and shape history, underpinning socio-political narratives and building geographies as well as retelling our very own personal stories. Since the birth of the medium we have used photography and its archives to revisit the past and talk about the present, to challenge what we think we remember, to deconstruct the grand pillars of history and extract new stories from the margins.
