| | | Erin, Water Reflection, New York City, 2011, INK Frank Kennedy, Pittsburgh, 1988, INK © Albert Watson | | | | | | | 4 April – 17 May 2019 | | | Albert Watson will be present at the opening on April 4, 17:30
To RSVP, please click here | | |  | | | | | | | | | | Kahmann Gallery is proud to present works from Albert Watson’s newest project, ‘INK’. Watson has reimagined his own work, by incorporating and superimposing textured ink patterns on top of work he created separately. Watson delved into his own archive to find works he could reimagine and give a literal new layer of meaning by using the very special technique.
Here we see a true master in his element, incorporating different skills to create something completely unique.
Besides works from this serie, a few classic works by Watson will also be on show. This includes portraits of Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss and Mick Jagger. Albert Watson
(*1942) is a Scottish photographer, based in New York. Watson is particularly famous for his iconic celebrity, fashion and art photography. His work is featured in galleries and museums worldwide. Watson is ranked among the most influential and successful photographers of all time. Through the wide variety and diversity of his images an effortless versatility is reflected, yet they are always identifiable as Albert Watson photographs by their visual impact and technical virtuosity.
The power of Watson lies in his ability to capture and convey his interest in what he sees, be it fashion, nature or a movie star.
Watson has been photographing for over 40 years, working for the biggest magazines in the world, like Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Rolling Stone, as well as ad campaigns for world-renowned brands. He has won many awards during his career and even received the Order of the British Empire from Queen Elizabeth II in 2015. Throughout his career, Watson has also dedicated a big part of his time in producing a big collection of non-commissioned fine art. His work has been exhibited in numerous exhibitions worldwide and has been included in numerous international private and public collections, which includes the National Portrait Gallery in London. | | |

© Christian von Alvensleben | | | | | | Haute Couture des Himmels
Haute couture of the sky | | | | 10 & 11 April, 2019, 5:30 – 8 pm | | | | Introduction by Sebastian Lux, Stiftung F.C. Gundlach | | | | | | Haller 6 | Hallerstr. 6, 20146 Hamburg

| | | | | | "We took photographs of the earth’s sensitive atmosphere at the Tropic of Cancer where, at the end of the year, hot winds from the Sahara meet the moist north-eastern trade wind."
Elemental. This is the word to aptly describe the photographs Christian and Helga von Alvensleben have created over the past few years. Their current series of works entitled "Haute Couture des Himmels" now focusses on nothing less than clouds, atmosphere and air.
The pictorial language of the 16 large-format photographs is also elemental. Devoid of a horizon line, the sky covers the entire surface of the image. Sometimes the vapour is light and airy, sometimes dark and threatening in the way it merges to form veils, vortexes and towers of cloud demonstrating to us the impressive depth and simultaneously the fragile delicacy of the mantle of air enveloping the earth. When this is joined by the fine desert sand that the Calima, the desert wind from the Sahara, blows up into the air masses above the Canary Islands, then exciting traces of colour suddenly become visible in the skies. | | |

| | Noam Chomsky, linguist, 8.6.2011
80 x 60 cm
Baryt warmton
© Oliver Abraham | | | | | | | 6 April – 15 June, 2019 | | | Opening: Friday, 5 April, 6pm
The Artist will be present.
Gallery Julian Sander shows a series of portraits of extraordinary contemporary personalities by Oliver Abraham. Among them are journalists, musicians, philosophers, representatives of the "New Left" as well as artists and writers. Everyone deals with the topic of surveillance and press freedom and expresses their political attitude artistically. The photographs are accompanied by a text by Noam Chomsky about independent journalism and how it should be shaped. The text is hidden behind the individual portraits, so that the visitor can, should or even must "look behind the picture" interactively and investigatively. | | | | | | | | | | | | | Following the example of Noam Chomsky’s text, the exhibition explores questions about the impact of mainstream media on public opinion, press freedom and activism. The main focus of the artist is to unite all "protagonists" - the different disciplines (philosophy, journalism, activism, art and politics) as well as different generations (pre- and postinternet, digital natives, ‘68 generation) - and using a continuous series of photos to show connections and influences among each other. The portrayed are all contemporaries who, through their work, draw attention to various topics and social problems, thereby enabling the understanding of current events and their reception through media attention. In the context of activism and in front of the (literal) background, Chomsky's reflections will leave the individuals their singular meaning, but at the same time transpose them into an overarching network, pursuing a common goal: the preservation of human rights - foremost the struggle for freedom of speech, freedom of the press and the critical examination of state surveillance.
Through the analogous approach and the deliberate reduction of black-and-white photographs, an unfiltered and close representation of the personalities should be made possible, which should act as an antidote to the flood of digital images. | | |

© Stefan Moses Archiv | | | | | | | A Retrospective - in cooperation with Johanna Breede Photokunst Berlin | | | | 6 April – 16 June 2019 | | | | Exhibition opening: Saturday 6 April, 15:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the exhibition Stefan Moses: Deutsche Vita. Eine Retrospektive, the Stiftung Schloss Neuhardenberg is paying homage to one of Germany’s most important exponents of 20th century photography. Moses, also known as the ‘chronicler of Germany’s post-war society’, was born in Liegnitz in Silesia in 1928 and worked in Munich from 1950 onwards, where he passed away in February 2018.
German society was the theme that dominated his artistic life: he photographed artists, intellectuals and politicians, approaching his subjects in his unique, acutely perceptive way, with humour and empathy. Thomas Mann, Theodor W. Adorno, Heinrich Böll, Willy Brandt and Günter Grass – Moses captured them all with his camera. At the same time, he also produced numerous series of pictures of so-called ordinary people, anonymous workers in West Germany’s production facilities. From 1990 onwards, he travelled all over former East Germany. With the portraits he took there in the years that followed the Fall of the Berlin Wall, he completed his psychological panorama of the reunified Germany.
The exhibition in Neuhardenberg, curated by Christoph Stölzl, focuses on various periods of his work and a number of series, including Große Alte im Wald, Emigranten, Deutsche West / Deutsche Ost and Künstler machen Masken. The Deutsches Historisches Museum Berlin is hosting an exhibition of Stefan Moses’s early photo reportages from 1 February to 12 May 2019 – these two parallel events provide a good overview of his oeuvre. | | |

| | | Henri Foucault: Le Corps Infiniment | | | | | | | | 4 April – 18 May, 2019 | | | | Opening: Thursday, 4 April, 6-9pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | Henri Foucault shows the full extent of his art in a very personal exhibition, for the first time at Galerie Thierry Bigaignon.
Though the artist will exhibit for the first time at the Galerie Thierry Bigaignon, Henri Foucault’s work is already well-established. This show, starting on April 4th, will thus be a great opportunity to discover or rediscover the artist’s specific universe - that of a photographer-sculptor or sculptor-photographer - through a selection of new works focussing on the body.
As an inexhaustible source of inspiration, the body has always been for Henri Foucault, as for many sculptors, a subject for study, and more so, an absolute fascination. Henri Foucault does not only photograph bodies, he sculpts them and tries, through a selection of them, to express their multitude. It is the very sculptural dimension of the body, its fundamental aspect, that draws his interest. The challenge is for him to represent it without ever falling into some kind of eroticism, nor into the figurative.
Sculptor at heart, Henri Foucault nevertheless chose photography a long time ago. Unless photography chose him! Over the years, the artist has developed an artistic universe that, through the play of light, enjoys reinventing new forms of perception. "From this confrontation between[...] the slow shaping of a volume and the dazzling nature of the photographic act," Dominique Païni tells us, "emerges the possibility of merging sculpture and photography. Photographing and sculpting, sculpting and photographing, it is this alternation that is accomplished in Henri Foucault's work." | | |

| | | | | | | bauhaus – seen by stefan berg | | | | Curator: Harald Theiss | | | | 5 April – 17 May 2019 | | | | | | | | | | | | | As a contribution to this year’s 100 years of Bauhaus retrospective, Stefan Berg uses contemporary imagery that has been liberated from the common discourse on cultural history and architecture to bring to the fore and into the present what "thinking the Bauhaus" can mean. The artist’s aim is to illustrate the idea of the Bauhaus – reflecting and making tangible the modernisation and design of a society.
With a focussed photographer’s eye, Berg examines whether and how the underlying concept of the Bauhaus is manifest in the building in Dessau. The photographic works prompt viewers to reapproach the question of "what exactly is the Bauhaus?" and possibly make new discoveries. (Curator Harald Theiss)
Stefan Berg is a photographer and worked as a lecturer in photography at the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Dessau, In this time he realized the Bauhaus Series. Photographic works by Stefan Berg have been shown in Germany, France and Belgium like the Goethe-Institut Lyon and the Goethe-Institut Nancy. He has taught at universities such as the University of Arts Berlin, the Anhalt University of Applied Sciences in Dessau and the University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam. Stefan Berg lives and works in Berlin as a freelance photographer and lecturer.

| | | Josh © Michelle Sank | | | | | | | FOREVER//NOW | | | | | | | | until 14 April 2019 | | | | | | | | | | | | | In Derby’s museums, art galleries and historic, pop-up and renovated spaces and buildings the festival will present over 50 exhibitions, including portraits of Elvis impersonators and off grid Siberian communities; documentary projects on the tribes of native Indians and the post conflict and wartime landscape of North Africa; a French treasure hunt for buried gold and the search for the truth behind the exclusive Bohemian Club in America. These are just a few of the many extraordinary photography stories visitors to Derby will discover at FORMAT19. The new generation of photographic artists rush towards the new, embracing the rapid transformation that technology and cultural exchanges bring to it. It is such new approaches to photography that FORMAT19: FOREVER//NOW will address during the festival. Forever is an idea built into the very nature of the photograph that records the moment and immediately presents us with a visual memory of the past. Forever touches upon our obsession to record and share the continuous moments of our lives. Yet forever is an illusion and the immortality photography proffers can quickly sour when digital anonymity becomes virtually impossible to obtain. The eruption of selfies and Instagram is contradicted by campaigns around the right to be forgotten or opt out. Now is the new photography orthodoxy, in which the message is all, the product of an era that is seen as "post truth", regardless of whether it is a fictionalised story or a factual narrative or an aesthetic mixture of the two. The challenge for the photographer is how to establish their message in the now and stop it being transitory. In this era of Trump’s fake news, where truths, lies and myths are easily interchanged, we need to find a new structure to realign our perception of reality and provide a frame of reference for identifying where the truth really resides. FORMAT19 will look at how photography is evolving and moving ever forward, while keeping a curatorial eye on its past and how it is being constantly reinterpreted. Even as we endeavour to extend subjects through photography, time and material can never be endless, it is a difficult concept to pin down and the immortality that photography seems to offer is always just out of reach. Alongside the mass production of pictures and our seemingly endless desire to be seen, there are calls for digital anonymity and campaigns around the right to be forgotten or to opt out. FOREVER//NOW is a contested idea that we invite you to think widely about, there are many ways to perceive it. | | |
