| | | From the series Mt Meru © Harit Srikhao | | | | | | | 20 international young artists | | | | | | | 1 September – 12 November, 2017 | | | | On Friday 22 September the exhibition will be officially opened in the presence of the artists. On this occasion the new Talent Issue of Foam Magazine, which serves as an exhibition catalogue, will be officially presented. | | |  | | | | | | | | | | Foam is proud to present the work of twenty new Foam Talents. The annual Talent Call is an international search for exceptionally talented photographers under the age of 35. The submissions form an intriguing barometer of current developments in contemporary photography.
The Foam Talent programme is a career building platform that helps launch aspiring image-makers into the international photography industry, giving them global acclaim and recognition. Many artists once selected as Foam Talent are now established names in photography. From 1 September until 12 November 2017 Foam presents the work of the twenty selected artists in the museum in Amsterdam, after which the exhibition will travel internationally. | | |

Contemporary Chinese Photography and the Cultural Revolution" lifts the veil on one of the most fascinating and yet simultaneously little-explored chapters in the history of photography: the impact of the Cultural Revolution on current art and photography in China.
Virtually no other event has had such a profound influence on the visual arts of the last half-century in China as the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976). It led to a radical departure from both traditional Chinese and Western cultural values, brought about through mass propaganda on an enormous scale. Posters and wall newspapers (big character posters) were instrumental in reaching the political goals, but equally instrumental were film and photography – and their aesthetics continue to characterize our understanding of the Cultural Revolution to this day.
Most impregnated in the memory and often quoted are not so much the secretly taken images of extreme acts of violence and book burnings, but rather the official images of the government propaganda, the countless photographs of Chairman Mao, and the mass rallies of the period. These images form the basis for the work of contemporary photographers and artists, who use various methods to transform and translate them into a contemporary visual language.
The exhibition, which has been jointly curated by Wang Huangsheng (Director of the Art Museum at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing), Guo Xiaoyan (Assistant Director of the Minsheng Art Museum, Beijing), and Ludger Derenthal (Head of the Photography Collection of the Kunstbibliothek – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin), juxtaposes the historical iconography… | | |

| | Jan Groover: Untitled, 1978, chromogenic print, 50.8 x 61 cm
© Jan Groover, Courtesy Janet Borden Inc., New York and KLEMM’S, Berlin | | | | | | | | 26 August – 12 November 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The work of Jan Groover (1943-2012) is very well known in her home country United States. In 1979, the magazine Artforum International chose one of her still lifes as its first-ever photography cover. In 1987, the Museum of Modern Art New York staged a solo exhibition of her work and her oeuvre can be found in the collections of major U.S. museums. She also influenced generations of artists in her role as a professor of photography at State University, New York (Gegory Crewdson was one of her students). However, in Europe, her work is still hardly known. Here she is especially admired by a younger generation of photographers as an important source of inspiration, such as Annette Kelm or Wolfgang Tillmans. Until today, she hardly plays a role in European institutions, except for in France, where the photographer lived from 1991 until her death.
Trained as an abstract painter in the 1960s, Groover turned to photography in the early 1970s, which she found more free and artistically open-minded than male-dominated painting. Still, a painterly approach remains a recognisable component of her photographic work, expressed from the very beginning in its careful composition and the fusion of colours and surfaces. Groover’s images reflect her preference for Fra Angelico and 14th- and 15th-century masters of European painting, but also particularly for Cézanne and Morandi, whose techniques she transforms into something entirely contemporary. Her images challenge the boundaries of the medium of photography by distancing themselves from photography’s generally assumed authenticity and its documentary character, instead presenting a precisely composed picture. Colour and form dominate, perspective lines are blurred and removed, and light becomes an objec… | | |

| | | Guido Guidi: Millenovecentonovanta-duemilasei, 1990–2006 (01) © Guido Guidi, 2017 | | | | | | | Photographic Reactions to Antonioni’s Classic Film | | | | | | | 1 September 2017 – 28 January 2018 | | | | Opening reception: Thursday 31 August 19:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Works by more than thirty artists are being presented within the scope of this German-Italian project that examine the influential film “Il deserto rosso“ (1964) by Michelangelo Antonioni (1912-2007). Internationally, the director counts among the filmmakers whose influential bodies of work are highly admired by artists and photographers. "Il deserto rosso" (Red Desert), which was shot in the industrial region around Ravenna and whose innovative coloration is particularly striking, provides a wide variety of artistic stimuli, especially for a photographic examination.
The artists participating in the "Il deserto rosso now" project are associated with the Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig (the classes taught by Prof. Joachim Brohm and Anna Voswinckel) as well as with the photography initiatives Linea di Confine in Rubiera und Osservatorio Fotografico in Ravenna. In 2013, the first participants set out in search of traces in the northern Italian landscape around Ravenna, which continues to be characterized by industrial sites, for the purpose of visiting Antonioni's former locations, not only in a concrete respect but under atmospheric circumstances as well. The industrial backdrop in the film is the visual soundtrack, so to speak, accompanying the emotional, melancholy moods of the protagonists, in particular the young married woman Giuliana. Sounding out the psychogram of Giuliana and creating contemporary images that lend expression to her fears, her loneliness, and her sense of loss in the modern world and furthermore translate it into a universal language are threads that take effect in the photographic series and film contributions in the exhibition. | | |

| | | Francesco Neri: At home, Faenza 2.4.2011, C-Print © Francesco Neri, 2017 | | | A Look at the Collection:
Francesco Neri » Trophy and Treasure | | | | 1 September 2017 – 28 January 2018 | | | | Opening reception: Thursday 31 August 19:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | One may view the individual photographs by Francesco Neri (*1982 in Faenza) as "trophies" or as "treasures". In his series, the photographic image shows itself in all of its cultural value. Neri presents it in a multitude of ways-as object, as a means of communication and document, as memento, as composition, as reproduction and transformation, and finally as an independent work of art.
Produced in the home of his grandparents, the series, of which about 30 exhibits have been selected for the exhibition, allows personal insight into the private and professional life of Francesco Neri's family. The areas of medicine (father and grandfather were physicians) and hunting play a particular role. There is hardly a photograph that does not exhibit traces of these activities. The images include both sensitive interiors in the manner of a classic still life as well as landscape photographs and views of nature. The portraits of his parents, which the photographer takes in everyday situations - observing them casually, as it were - testify to great closeness. Francesco Neri's photographs cast light on the metaphorical strength of the moment; the blurring of profession, family, and personal interest; as well as the entanglement of historical dimensions through the medium.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue (Verlag Snoeck). | | |

| | | Elliott Erwitt, Che Guevara, 1964, Cuba © Eliliott Erwitt / Magnum Photos | | | | | | | | | | | | | 24 August – 23 September 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | With "A Journey to Cuba" the Fabian & Claude Walter Galerie will present a journey through Cuba’s eventful photographic history of the past 60 years.
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary 1967 of the death of Ernesto Che Guevara, we will be showing Vintage prints on the subject of the controversial revolutionaries. During the Cuban revolution of 1956 - 1959, the M-27-6 resistance movement led by Fidel Castro (1926-2016, Cuba) and Ernesto Rafael Guevara (1928-1967, Argentina), known as Che Guevara, succeeded in expelling Cuban dictator Flugencio Batista, who was unpopular among large sections of the population. Fidel Castro and Ernesto Che Guevara used photography as a propagandistic means of documenting the revolution. In addition to Alberto Korda (1928-2001, Cuba), who accompanied the revolutionary elite from 1959 to 1968, international photographers such as Magnum photographer René Burri (1933-2014, Switzerland) were given the opportunity to document the events of the post-revolutionary period.
With the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, Cuba lost its most important political ally and trading partner. The Special Period in Time of Peace, "periodo especial en tiempo de paz", a period of economic austerity called for by Castro, was meant to cushion the worst of the effects. The artists of this generation questioned the values of a utopian society in their work. The two internationally renowned photographers René Peña (*1957, Cuba) and Juan Carlos Alom (*1964, Cuba) illustrate the real, everyday surreal living conditions in Cuba. These photographs are the complete opposite of the idealistic photographs that emerged during and immediately after the revolution. | | |

| | | René Burri: Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 1966, Baryt Print, 30 x 40 cm, signiert vom Künstler | | | | | | | | 24 August – 7 October 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the season opening 2017/18, Bildhalle is delighted to be able to announce a solo exhibition by one of Switzerland's most revered and famous photographers. In close cooperation with his family, this will be the first solo show since René Burri's passing in 2014 and is meant to commemorate this "Humanist with Camera".
René Burri brought us now-famous icons of 20th Century's history of photography. As an extensively traveling MAGNUM photographer, he also took us to all corners of the world through his vivid photo reportages. His photographs, always interested in the issues, are engaged, complex and empathetic. René Burri didn't just want to document the world, he also wanted to change it with his images. The exhibition at Bildhalle will present an impressive selection of his signed gelatin silver and c-prints, emphasizing his formal and dynamic visual language while also providing one or the other surprise.
"What counts is putting the intensity that you yourself have experienced into the picture. Otherwise it is just a document. But if you are truly successful in capturing the pulse of life, then you can speak of a good photograph." - René Burri
René Burri studied at the School of Applied Arts in his native city of Zurich, Switzerland. From 1953 to 1955 he worked as a documentary filmmaker and began to use a Leica while doing his military service. Burri became an associate of Magnum in 1955 and received international attention for one of his first reportages, on deaf-mute children, "Touch of Music for the Deaf", published in Life magazine. In 1956 he traveled throughout Europe and the Middle East, and then went to Latin America, where he made a serie… | | |

| | | | Call for application | | | 9th Edition of Carmignac photojournalism Award
Theme: The Arctic | | | Application deadline: Sunday 15th October, 2017 at midnight (GMT)
Apply bit.ly/CarmignacPhotojournalismAward | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 2009, Fondation Carmignac established the Carmignac Photojournalism Award with the aim of funding and promoting an investigative photo report on human rights violations each year. The winner receives a €50,000 grant to produce an in-depth, in-the-field photo essay. After it has been completed, the Fondation provides further support, financing a monograph on the investigation and working with the photographer to develop and stage an international touring exhibition. The 9th edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award is dedicated to threats to the Arctic. The Arctic is a region surrounding the North Pole, within and on the outskirts of the Arctic polar circle. The area is commonly delineated by the ’10 degrees Celsius isotherm’, defining territories where the average temperature of the hottest month does not exceed 10 degrees Celsius. It is made up of 6 countries: Canada, the United States, Greenland (Denmark), Russia, Norway and Iceland. At the heart of the Cold War, the Arctic region was as a hot point for international interests, but since 1990, the region has largely disappeared from these debates. From the middle of the 2000s, it has attracted attention for three principle reasons: the disappearance of the sea ice, the growing need for hydrocarbons, and the prospect of new maritime routes. Since 1979, the sea ice has decreased in volume by 50%. The medium-term prospect of its total disappearance in the summer months may be devastating for environmental equilibrium and local Indigenous peoples, but it also provides opportunities by creating new maritime routes for commercial traffic, and opens up possibilities for the exploitation of natural resources. Beyond the fascination and curiosity surrounding the Poles due to their remoteness and the extreme conditions that reign there, global warming has put a sharp focus on these areas as strategic battlegrounds in the clash between the competing interests of countries and multinationals as they face one of the biggest challenges in the history of mankind. This edition will support an investigative photojournalism project that will shine a light on these competing interests, and highlight what the consequences of climate change will have on the region. THE JURY Members of the jury include: - Chair Jean Jouzel, climatologist, received the Vetlesen Prize in 2010 for his research on the ice of the Antarctic and Greenland, and was from 2002 until 2015, vice President of the Group of intergovernmental experts on climate change, the GIEC joint-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 for his work raising awareness of the climate emergency.
- David Barber, specialist in Arctic climate change, and Chief Scientist of the expedition on Canadian icebreaker and Arctic research vessel CCGS Amundsen
- Emma Bowkett, Director of Photography, Financial Times Weekend Magazine
- Pascal Beausse, Director of the photography collection, Centre national des arts plastiques (CNAP)
- Nicolas Jimenez, Director of Photography, Le Monde
- Sarah Leen, Director of Photography, National Geographic Magazine
- the Laureate of the 8th Edition of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award
The Carmignac Photojournalism Award has the pleasure of welcoming back Thierry Grillet, Chief Curator, Bilbliothèque nationale de France (BNF), as artistic consultant for the third consecutive year. The pre-jury has the task of selecting between 10 and 12 proposals. It is made up of: - Patrick Baz, Photojournalist and founder of the MENA Photodesk at AFP
- Dimitri Beck, Director of Photography, Polka
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS After the selection, the jury will meet the winning photographer in order to speak to them and to provide, if necessary, the support they will require throughout their project - from the preparation stage of the report, to its final exhibition. The photographers must submit their projects before midnight (GMT) on Sunday 15th October 2017, by applying online on www.fondation-carmignac.com or here | | |
