DUE TO WATER DAMAGE KAHMANN GALLERY (Lindengracht) IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED | | |  | | | | | | | | | | Kahmann Gallery would like to personally invite you to the opening of the solo exhibition of renowned American photographer Marvin Newman on May 3rd from 18:00 – 20:30. As our location on the Lindengracht 35 is being refurbished, this exhibition will take place at the art’Otel.
In the 1950s, a time when almost all art photographers worked in black and white, only a few pioneers dared to experiment with color. One of them was Marvin Newman (US, 1927). Inspired in part by magazines, Newman was infamous for taking color into the streets. Times Square and Wall Street looked more lively than ever when saturated with colour.

| | | unknown, Judy und Gerhard Valentin, app. 1947 | | | | | | | | 4 May – 29 July 2018 | | | | Opening reception: Thursday 3 May 19:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | "Berlin<>Rio: Routes and Memories" is an exhibition and book project which addresses the lifeline of a family, its cohesiveness, and its survival across five generations throughout different political and cultural systems. It explores the effects contemporary history has on individuals and the ways people find to survive when their world comes apart. It is also a project about migration and remigration, arrival in a foreign land and return to the country originally left in anguish. Above all, however, "Berlin<>Rio" tells the story of what it’s like to lose one’s home, as an exile turn to the home within oneself and as such become a source of hope.
The exhibition’s curator, Dr. Andreas Valentin lives in Rio de Janeiro and is a fifth-generation Valentin. He employs visual materials as historical sources in order to make his autobiographical traces of the past visible in the present. Through the dialogue between the photographs and documents on display, which primarily stem from the family’s archive, as well as films and re-enactments in the form of his own contemporary photographs, he created a narrative that allows us to take part in the family’s life-story.
Andreas Valentin’s narrative enables us to experience different layers of image production. Apart from their aesthetic qualities, they can also be understood as social practises and point towards the usages of photography itself. | | |

| | | © Michael Dalton | | | | | | | | 5 – 31 May 2018 | | | | Opening reception: Saturday 5 May 19:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | FK-Galerie is proud to present Michael Dalton’s exhibition of "The Great Falls" following the publication of the series from Peperoni Books. Dalton’s photographs depict the enduring & crumbling character of a post-industrial environment, namely: Paterson’s Great Falls National Park in Dalton’s home state of New Jersey. The series creates a sense of detached contemplation in which the waterfall is presented as the central character in a calm, sometimes desolate landscape.
Dalton’s images include landscapes, found still lifes, and portraits of couples that represent a pride and resilience found in communities that are forced to adapt. While the specificity of place is a stand in for other important themes of the book, a consistent atmosphere displays the ubiquity of proud, yet struggling sections of industrial Northeast of the US. However, the indelible waterfall is unmistakably Patersonian. William Carlos Williams compared the course of the Passaic River to the course of one’s life with the Falls representing “a catastrophe.” Dalton’s work explores the metaphor of the catastrophe and celebrates the fact that life continues after it.
Michael Dalton (BFA at SVA; MFA at Univ. of Hartford) lives and works in New York City as a construction worker and Artist. His work has been shown in group exhibitions at Photo Spiva, Joplin, MO, Con Artist Collective (NYC), McNeese State University (Lake Charles, LA), The Joseloff Gallery, Hartford, CT, Kominek Gallery, Berlin, Germany, and the 3rd Street Gallery, Philadelphia PA (solo exhibition). Dalton published his first book, The Great Falls (Pepperoni), in 2017. Other publications include Long Lonely Swims (various artists; aG Halide Press, 2012), and Mossless issue 3’s compendium (2014): “The United States (2003-2013)”. Dalton was a visiting lecturer at The University of Hartford and Western Connecticut State University. Dalton will also be part of a Salon with Mary Frey and Susan Lipper hosted by 10x10 Photobooks on May 9th, 2018 in New York City. | | |

| | | Blickwechsel © Ina Schoenenburg / Ostkreuz | | | | | | | | until 18 September 2018 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The German photographer Ina Schoenenburg is concerned with the psychology of human interpersonal relationships. Her pictures seem familiar and outlandish at once. With her camera in her hand, she studies existential and social settings that affect our lives.
The photographic installation by Ina Schoenenburg features excerpts from four different image series: > Flashback > Blickwechsel > Portraits > Schmale Pfade
Despite this, the photographs on display all appear "related" to one another. The images question humans' perception of reality, as well as the external and social impacts affecting this relationship or casting new doubt on it.
The photographer depicts a free and easy life, as well as journeys that stray from the familiar path. She documents the dark side of human expectations and the limits of a reality that is both objectively defined and subjectively perceived. Finally, she unmasks the errors of judgment and ignorance of today's society with regard to inconvenient and uncomfortable truths that call into question the system and its functioning. Ina Schoenenburg's images feature strong individual stories, alongside weakened destinies in danger of succumbing to reality.
Born in 1979 in Berlin, Ina Schoenenburg lives and works in Berlin. From 2008-2005 she studies architecture at TFH Berlin. Then from 2012-2009 she studies photography at Ostkreuzschule in Weißensee, Berlin, and supports her final thesis "Blickwechsel" with Sibylle Fendt. Since autumn 2016 she is member of the Ostkreuz agency. | | |

| | Luigi Ghirri
Salzburg, 1977
C-Print, 14,5 x 23,3 cm
© Eredi Luigi Ghirri | | | | | | | | 4 May – 22 July, 2018 | | | | Opening reception: Thursday, 3 May, 7pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exhibition "The Map and the Territory" at the Museum Folkwang is the first more comprehensive museum survey of Luigi Ghirri’s photographs presented outside his native Italy. Focusing on the 1970s, the exhibition charts a decade in which Ghirri (1943–1992) created a body of colour photographs without parallel in the Europe in that time.
Trained as a surveyor, Ghirri began to photograph at weekends in the early 1970s, roaming the streets, squares and suburbs of Modena, imagining projects and themes. “I’m interested in ephemeral architecture, the world of the provinces, objects that are considered bad taste that for me never have been so, objects charged with desires, dreams, collective memories… windows, mirrors, stars, palm trees, atlases, globes, books, museums and people through images“, Ghirri stated. He looked attentively and affectionately at the signs of the exterior world, observing but not overtly commenting on the man-made landscape and habitats of his native Reggio Emilia, a provincial barometer of a vernacular environment changing through the appearance of different forms of housing, leisure and advertising.
Through the 1970s, Ghirri took thousands of images and developed a distinctive style and conceptual framework for presenting the work. This first decade culminated in two significant moments: the publication in 1978 of Kodachrome, one of the truly exceptional photographic books of the decade; and the presentation of a major exhibition, Vera Fotografia in Parma in 1979 which surveyed Ghirri’s singular body of work through fourteen different projects and themes.
"The Map and the Territory" reprises the poetic cartography of Ghirri’s 1979 exhibition. 17 chapters with 300 photographs reflect Ghirri’s enduring fascination with representations of the world, in the form of reproductions, pictures, posters, models and maps and the way these representations were embedded in the world, signs within the town or the landscape. The mediation of experience through images in an Italy poised between the old and the new was, for Ghirri, an inexhaustible terrain to survey. In the face of today’s media change and media usage, Ghirri’s imagery demonstrates a more than surprising freshness and relevance.
The exhibition is organised by the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid, in collaboration with the Museum Folkwang, Essen, and the Galerie nationale du Jeu de Paume, Paris. | | |

| | GUIDO GUIDI
"Ayaş, Turkey",1998
Photograph; C-type print on paper, 19.5 x 24.5 cm
© Guido Guidi / Courtesy the artist and Large Glass, London | | | | | | | | 4 May – 2 June 2018 | | | | Opening reception: Thu 3 May 18:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | In Part 6, the coin lands in Ayaş, Turkey where in 1998 Italian photographer Guido Guidi recorded, in luminous colour and contrasting black and white, the gradually changing sunlight on the Roman ruins here. Excavations of the ruins were going on at the time and it was through an archaeologist (who had participated in Guidi’s workshops) that the invitation was made.
Although these are the ruins of long gone people, ancient culture, the sense of human beings being present is strong; the photographs show neglected places, incomplete sites, where living people appear, almost as emblems of people in the passage of time.
Revisiting, returning, repeating are all central to Guidi’s philosophy and sequencing of images in which he offers a meditation on space, light, the traces of time and the evidence of the making of the image.
These photographs are being exhibited for the first time. Guido Guidi is one of Italy’s most respected photographers and over a career spanning more than four decades, Neorealist film and conceptual art have had a significant role in shaping his unsentimental but also intensely personal images.

© Henk Wildschut | | | | | | | | | | | | | until 13 May 2018 | | | | | | | | | | | | | "…WHAT IS LOST IS THE IN-BETWEEN WHICH SHOULD HAVE FORMED BETWEEN THIS INDIVIDUAL AND HIS FELLOW MEN." HANNAH ARENDT
This exhibition is a poetic, abstract, fragil attempt to translate something of our times. Something indefinable, intangible but that might be recognised as the condition of one person, of several or of all: being in a state of suspension.
Neither a transition towards a possible future, nor an intermediate step, this condition relates to an inability to move forward and endless repetition of the same patterns. No longer knowing where to go, feeling out of place, having an indeterminate, blurry, precarious status and repeating gestures that have no meaning or purpose are its outward manifestations.
The state of suspension is often likened to being paralysed or stunned, but it is actually a constant, relentless, never-ending struggle to adapt. The threat comes into focus. Time seems to be running out. It is a struggle not to break free from temporality but to enter it.
Elusive and protean, the state of suspension is also something that defies depiction. How can its substance and reality be expressed? How can a person living in this state be represented, disappearing under the immediate proliferation and obsolescence of images, discourses, laws and technologies indifferent to his fate? | | |

| | | | | | | | | until 2 June 2018 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | International and Korean artists experimenting with different forms of photography can be met this year in The Museum of Photography, Seoul. The series of group and solo exhibitions will start off with French photographer Xavier Lucchesi's THE UNSEEN. It tells enchanting stories hidden inside famous artworks revealed by x-ray camera, an apparatus often used for medical or industrial purposes. Many artists use x-rays in their works but often they end up with routine results rather than making fundamental approaches. For more than 2 decades, Lucchesi went to renowned museums and institutions from around the world that are difficult to access to seek their approvals and lay those master pieces underneath an x-ray camera. The results are one of a kind that radiate with brilliant ideas, presenting new vision to the interpretations we have taken for granted. They uncover the essence lying between the known and unknown, as well as the visible and invisible, to expose the fact that was never seen before. Xavier Lucchesi's THE UNSEEN exhibition will be a special chance to see with your own eyes those hidden stories and at the same time decipher the socio-cultural significance buried in the objects of photography. | | |

| | | | PHOTOBOOKFEST 2018 | | | | exhibitions | lectures | master-classes | workshops | portfolio review | | | | | | | until June 3, 2018 | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is the second time the international festival of emerging photography PHOTOBOOKFEST takes places in Moscow gathering experts in photography and book design from all over the world. The exhibitions open on April, 20 and will run through June, 3. The exhibitions will also be followed by lectures, master-classes, workshops for photographers and a portfolio review session by experts and the results of the Photobook Dummy contest will be revealed. The main venue for the event remains the Lumiere Brothers Center for Photography.
The mission of PHOTOBOOKFEST 2018 is to look at photography in the context of modern media, to decide what it is capable of and how it can reach the audience, including the potential of the modern photobook to exist as an independent art form.
Apart from photographic exhibitions, there will also be books on display. In the Small Hall of the Center the visitors will be able to see shortlisted photobooks of the Unseen Dummy Award organized by the biggest festival pf photography in Europe, Unseen.
During the festival, an expert jury will decide on the results of the Photobook Dummy contest which took place from February till April. Photographers from all over Russia, Ukraine, Georgia and CIS countries participated in it hoping to win the main prize – getting their photobooks published.
Information about the educational programme and portfolio review will be available on the official web site photobookfest.com | | |
