To RSVP, please email info@kahmanngallery.com | | |  | | | | | | | | | | Kahmann Gallery is proud to present the most recent project of Stephan Vanfleteren: Surf Tribe. This sales exhibition follows the successful showing of the series at the Kunsthal Rotterdam. For Surf Tribe, Vanfleteren travelled the globe for over 18 months to document various troops of surfers, immersing himself in the international surf community. Instead of the stereotypical shots of boards cleaving the waves, Vanfleteren has captured portraits of the surfers away from the action in his well-known black and white style. We see everyone from surfing legends, competitive surfers, young students to surf hippies. While he went to the famous surf havens in places like Hawaii and California, Vanfleteren also ventured to more obscure spots where surfing is entrenched in the way of life. What connects all of these people, is being part of a global culture that deeply respects the ocean. | | |

| | | THE THIRD DAY - Cultivation and measurement of corn plants, German research institute © Henrik Spohler | | | | | | | | until 29 March 2019 | | | | | | | | | | | | | For his work The Third Day Henrik Spohler travels in stages from the north of Germany through the Netherlands to Spain and onwards to the USA, close to the Mexican border. The photographer from Hamburg searches for what human beings have redefined, reproduced and commercialised under the term “nature” in the course of the last few decades. His search is rewarded. He finds a monumental world, or a parallel universe even, which surpasses the imagination of the unsuspecting consumer. Through this photographic series, the latter has to come to the definitive realisation that the daily trip to the supermarket is no more than a simulation of reality, comparable to a virtual performance, allowing each individual a journey into a bygone era. This trivial experience is shaped by romantic and nostalgic promises and spreads the belief that a tomato is indeed only a tomato. But does this belief still hold? We’ve heard about the huge greenhouses covering vast areas where edible plants thrive. Shouldn’t agricultural principles grow proportionally to the population? Enormous greenhouses would thus be a logical consequence and not fiction. But the agricultural industry grows not only in its physical dimensions; it also surpasses the limits of the imagination and of reason. Engineers, technicians, computers, scanners and machines have replaced gardeners and farmers. Day is bereft of its opposite. Artificial light is the better sunshine. Scientifically calculated nutrient solutions replace water as the source of life. Fiction now presents itself as reality in these landscapes covered in plastic all the way to the horizon. Plants grow in artificial blue subsoil. Tomatoes resemble the suckers of an alien creature entirely made up of tent… | | |

Semiautomatic Photography 2003-2020 | | | | until 2 February 2019 | | | GUIDED TOUR IN ENGLISH FOLLOWED BY A LECTURE BY DORIS GASSERT
TUES 29 JANUARY 2019 | TOUR: 17:30 | LECTURE: 18.00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jules Spinatsch is one of the most important Swiss photographers on the international scene today. To be specific, he has exhibited at the MoMA in New York, the Fondation Cartier in Paris, the Villa Arson in Nice, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Tate Modern in London, the SFMoMA in San Francisco, as well as at Kunsthaus Zürich or the Fotomuseum Winterthur, to mention only those institutions. The exhibition sums up the panoramic photography projects he has carried out between 2003 and 2018. The artist first used a webcam technique he had developed in collaboration with the engineer Reto Diethelm, then after 2012 he used a computer-controlled SLR that he programmed himself. To explain the principle in a few words: Following a precise grid, a camera records single images at regular intervals over a timespan of between one and 24 hours. Then all the single images are combined in chronological order into a large panoramic view. The panoramic image conveys one continuous space that is cut into time fragments. Once the camera is released, it runs on its own. The camera controls the space but not the action. "Jules Spinatsch Semiautomatic Photography" is a continuous sequence of manual and automated image-making. Starting in 2003, the date of his first solo exhibition at the CPG entitled Temporary Discomfort, he succeeded in responding artistically to a method of photographic production which would subsequently only become more widespread, namely automated surveillance photography. The first panorama made in 2003 during the World Economic Forum [WEF] in Davos, the photographer’s birthplace, marks a turning-point in the history of critical documentary photography. | | |

| | | Beatles, Vintage gelatin silver print © Don McCullin | | | | | | | | 30 January – 24 April 2019 | | | | | | | | | | | | | To coincide with the major retrospective at Tate Britain (5 FEBRUARY - 6 MAY 2019), Hamiltons will be celebrating Sir Don McCullin’s lifetime achievement by exhibiting rare and unseen vintage prints dating back to the 1950s. Selected from the photographer’s personal archive, they were made shortly after the photographs were first taken on assignments around the world. Intimate and physically modest, the prints provide access to events witnessed and recorded by a photojournalist working on the frontline of multiple, international flashpoints from Vietnam to Cyprus. Largely produced for a photo editor or agency in a pre-digital age, these historic prints have been visibly put to work and bear the physical marks of their use. In these pictures McCullin shares the telling details of a human face or the gestures of a hand. As he earns his subjects’ trust, he communicates their crisis. To comprehend each remarkable scene, the viewer is pulled in tight as if we are standing beside McCullin in proximity to an anxious soldier, a pointed gun or a grieving wife. | | |

Followed by talk with the curator at 8PM - RSVP | | | | | | | | | | | | | This exhibition presents a segment of contemporary Czech photography with deliberately wide range of photographic strategies – from snapshot-like images that have appeared in the context of fashion editorials to post-conceptual works by artists skeptical of the very photographic medium. Curated by Michal Nanoru. In Love with Contemporary Czech Photography In 1967 or 1968, Allen Ginsberg showed up at the office of Senator Robert F. Kennedy and in an impromptu meeting revealed to the future presidential candidate, among other things, that “what this country needs, if anything, is tenderness. Tenderness is the key to the solution of the ecological problem, as well as all the other human problems. Tenderness to mother nature, tenderness to our fellow man, including tenderness to fairies and junkies, is what at this point is desired by the entire younger generation.” Just months before his plea, Wendy Cobain gave birth to her son Kurt, who, some twenty-two or twenty-three years later, was about to write the oracular verses of the song “In Bloom.” They read today as an anticipation of the rise of the alt-right (“He's the one/Who likes all our pretty songs/And he likes to sing along/And he likes to shoot his gun/But he knows not what it means”), and even, with a little or more good will, both the US administration’s policy of separating families at the border to discourage migration (“Sell the kids for food”) and climate change (“Weather changes moods”).

| | | End Of Cities 2013 © Agnieszka Rayss | | | | | | | a special 30-day section curated by Anna Gondek-Grodkiewicz | | | | | | | | until 7 February 2019 | | | | Subscribe free, YourDailyPhotograph.com | | | | | | | | | | | | | The history of Polish photography has been influenced if not shaped by political conditions in the country. In the second half of the 20th century, the challenge to all artists came from the totalitarian political regime imposed by the Communists from 1945 until 1989. Despite these conditions, Poland has a long and illustrious history of creative fine art photography. But unlike its better-known regional neighbors (Germany, Russia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia), the works of Polish photographers have been less accessible and less known outside the country’s borders. YourDailyPhotograph.com presents a special 30-day section of contemporary Polish photography, starting January 7, 2019. You will discover some terrific works to collect. | | |

| | | | | | | | | 26 January – 17 March, 2019 | | | | Opening: Friday, 25 January, 5:30pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | Forgotten and neglected. Cold, devoid of people and inanimate. When Lukas Hoffmann (*1981) cycles through Berlin, it’s the marginal areas that catch his eye. He grew up in Steinhausen in Canton Zug, and he went to Berlin after studying in Paris. He lives there now, and there he finds his subjects. Underpasses, house corners, building sites. Hoffmann likes what is desolate. He treats what is marginal with such circumspection that viewpoints, lighting and image details afford his analogue works a great sense of presence and aesthetic quality; they grow beyond themselves until they remind the observer of a painting. These urban brownfields are city outskirts – stagnant, provisional, overlooked – and they fill his images with life. Once Hoffmann has found a place he likes on one of his forays, he goes back there. He works slowly, fastidiously. The weather, the seasons, the incidence of light – he leaves nothing to chance. He’s a constructor. Hoffmann is someone who from the very start worked in an analogue manner, doing everything himself, from the darkroom to making enlargements and framing his works. He’s also a master of the techniques of different cameras. Greyscales are his piano keyboard, as it were, and he plays until his photographs attain the planarity or depth that he desires. Visitors to the Kunsthaus Zug already could experience Hoffmann’s work in several group exhibitions. In early 2019, he will be making a photographic statement with a large solo exhibition, and will be putting new work from recent years on display for the first time in Switzerland. Besides urban architecture, he will also be exhibiting examples of an experiment in which he captures passers-by with a large, portable came… | | |
