| | | Standing in The Sun © Viktor Naumovski | | | | | | | | 4 – 22 December 2019 | | |  | | | | | | | | | | During the longest and darkest days of the year, Gemeente Amsterdam and Foam Photography Museum Amsterdam present Visual Head, a video installation in the public space. This year we are back at Het Stenen Hoofd with Standing in The Sun by photographer and director Viktor Naumovski.
Standing in The Sun is inspired by the emotional experience of growing up in a country in transition. It’s an alternative narrative. This is a coming of age story focusing on a group of boys living in suburban Skopje, Macedonia. The nation’s state of transition is explored from the boys’ perspective where masculinity and national pride are highly celebrated and admired.
The film is based on a time when the real and the imaginary folded neatly into one another. The boys spent their days playing in the dirt during Macedonia’s passage from war to westernisation.
Standing in the Sun is screened without sound at Het Stenen Hoofd. | | |

| | | Lia Darjes: Stillleben mit Quitten und Kürbis, Kaliningrad, 2016, 57 x 44 cm, Archival Pigment Print, Ed. of 7 + 2 AP's | | | | | | | | ... until 21 December, 2019 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Asked about the most important influence on her work, Lia Darjes answers: "Visits in the Berlin Gemäldegalerie."
This influence is clearly visible in her new book "Tempora Morte". The photographic series was created in 2016 in Kaliningrad, Russia, and documents the modest roadside market stands where old women sell the modest harvest from their garden or the nearby forest to supplement their meagre pensions. "In autumn you may find three apples, some raisins and two bulbs of garlic. At other times of the year maybe two jars of homemade strawberry jam and two cabbages or dried fish."
Theoretically, these images are therefore documentary images, they could also be understood as a reportage on topics such as old-age poverty or micro-economics – but in fact, the subject matter is iconically exaggerated. Through the use of a small flash and the underexposure of the background, Darjes creates still life studies reminiscent of the opulent paintings of old Dutch masters.
"I had long been looking for an opportunity to do a contemporary still life project. But I did not want to stage those still lifes in the studio, but find them in the real world, extracting them from reality. I could do just that for Tempora Morte."
Lia Darjes was born in Berlin in 1984 and grew up in Hamburg. She studied with Prof. Ute Mahler first at HAW in Hamburg and then as a master class student with Prof. Ute Mahler and Ingo Taubhorn at Ostkreuzschule in Berlin. Since 2018 she herself has a teaching position at Ostkreuzschule. Her award-winning work is exhibited internationally.
The book to the series "Tempora Morte" will be published in the fall of 2019 with a … | | |

| | | Bárbara Wagner & Benjamin de Burca: You Are Seeing Things, 2016 | | | BECAUSE THE NIGHT | | | | | | | 7 December 2019 – 16 February 2020 | | | | Opening: Friday, 6 December, 6pm | | | | | | | | | | | | | The themed exhibition "Because the Night" is dedicated to the motif of night, with all the promise that it holds. Photographic works by Bieke Depoorter, Georg Gatsas, Thembinkosi Hlatshwayo, Bárbara Wagner & Benjamin de Burca, and Tobias Zielony present the events of those special hours in a variety of (socio)cultural and topographical settings. The many different forms that nightlife can take, the visual languages of various music scenes, and the modes of expression of individual subcultures play a key role, as do the dark tonality and specific lighting that reflect the mysterious atmosphere of the night.
Going out, plunging into a crowd of dancing revelers, fleeing everyday life for a few hours, and indulging one’s desires: for many, clubs and bars are places of freedom, an escapist paradise, a source of entertainment. The thrill of these visits, however, also derives from the fact that the venues follow their own rules, often finding expression in transgressive and excessive, sometimes even violent behavior. But, at the same time, they can also offer a place of refuge, safe spaces within which (secret) identities are negotiated or lived out, where subcultures and communities can develop freely outside of the mainstream and away from society’s moral norms and value systems.
German photographer Tobias Zielony (*1973) lived in Ukraine from October 2016 to July 2017. During this time, he came into contact with the underground queer and techno scene in Kiev, which developed out of the Euromaidan Revolution of 2013/14. The title of Zielony’s work —Maskirovka— refers to one of the Russian military’s traditional tactics: deception. He focuses on the "little… | | |

| | | | | | | | Bamako Encounters - Streams of Consciousness | | | | | | | | 30 November 2019 – 31 January 2020 | | | | Opening reception: Saturday 30 November | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 12th edition of the Bamako Encounters - African Biennale of Photography—the singular photographic and lens-based art biennale on the African continent—will run in Bamako, Mali, from November 30, 2019 to January 31, 2020, celebrating its 25 years of existence since the first edition in 1994.
Conceived by Artistic Director Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung and a curatorial team comprised of Aziza Harmel, Astrid Sokona Lepoultier and Kwasi Ohene-Ayeh, joined by artistic advisors Akinbode Akinbiyi, Seydou Camara and scenographer Cheick Diallo this edition is an invitation to think about the artistic practice of photography as a stream of consciousness, as well as to consider photography beyond the tight corset of the photographic. The moment of a snapshot emanates from a flow of thoughts and associations reflecting the photographer’s inner voice, which is unavoidably and constantly in motion.
Titled Streams of Consciousness, after the eponymous 1977 record by Abdullah Ibrahim and Max Roach, the Biennale will employ multiple understandings of how such streams can be used as photographic tools. Tools that bridge the African continent with its various diasporas, in addition to conveying cultures and epistemologies. "Africa" has, after all, long ceased to be a concept limited to the geographical space called Africa. Africa as a planetary concept relates to people of African origin, the I & I, that are spread over the world in Asia, Oceania, Europe, the Americas and the African continent.
The exhibition will apply the notion of the stream of consciousness as a metaphor for the flux of ideas, peoples, cultures that flow across and along with rivers like the Niger, Congo, Nile or Mississippi.
This edition of the Biennale listens carefully to remoteness, invisible matters, hitherto erased voices and images, as well as celebrating politics and poetics of (in)animate ecosystems. It deliberates on the role of collectives in African photographic practices, and the possibility of collectively telling our own stories through images, arguing for the fact that in society we are not individuals, but dividuals: divisible entities that together make up a larger collective. In an effort to go beyond the frame of photography as a visual experience, this Biennale will engage with the textuality, the tangibility, the performativity and especially the sonicity of photography. The sonic properties of photography are envisioned as a stream of consciousness wherein the photographic and phonographic intersect. How can we understand the lyricism of the photographic in that space of cognitive flux? The stream in streams of consciousness is a spectrum that encompasses the conscious and unconscious and forms a space in which the notions of consciousness and unconsciousness collapse into each other. | | |

| | | | | | | | A CHANCE FOR THE UNPREDICTABLE | | | | | | | | – 3 January 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The year 2019 marks the fifteenth year of Lianzhou’s photographic journey. Since 2005, the festival has gained international recognition as the most professional photography festival in China. In 2017 this ambition has been taken on by the Lianzhou Museum of Photography that opened in the city’s historical centre, granting China its first public institution devoted to the medium.
This year we commemorate this anniversary with the joint opening of Lianzhou Foto Festival’s fifteenth edition and Lianzhou Museum of Photography’s Winter program. The theme of the festival ‘A Chance for the Unpredictable’ will pay homage to photography’s practice and malpractice with an international theme exhibition under the curatorship of Swiss Foundation for Photography Peter Pfrunder. Alongside the theme exhibition will be over 50 solo and group shows presenting local and overseas talents. Meanwhile the LMP will unveil four solo exhibitions from Chinese, French and Indian photographers. During the opening days, Lianzhou will hold a curated program of events and become a platform for discussion for Chinese and international photographers, curators, journalists, academics and enthusiasts. | | |
