| | Following Spring's pandemic outbreak and the subsequent lockdown, the art scene has slowly regained momentum. Most of the art fairs have already been cancelled. POSITIONS together with Photo Basel in Berlin Tempelhof and Art Paris at the Grand Palais, however, take place from September 10 – 13. These are the first major art events in Europe since March 2020. The major summer festivals have attempted to overcome the odds and continue. Open-air events such as La Gacilly-Baden or Images Vevey are fortunate enough to hold their exhibitions outdoors. Fortunately, galleries and museums in almost all countries have maintained their exhibition activities. Here’s a selection of ongoings… Please take care and stay healthy! |

| | | | | | | Contemporary Portrait Photography | | | | | | | | ... until 31 October 2020 | | |  | | | | | | | | | | ARTCO Gallery in Aachen presents photographic works by four internationally renowned artists who interpret the subject of portraiture in a very individual way.
Justin Dingwall, born 1983 in Johannesburg, South Africa, is one of the most successful portrait photographers in his country. Dingwall wants his works to celebrate another beauty. The unique and different finds his special interest. "I want my work to speak for itself and for people who interpret it in their own way. I want people to be touched by my paintings... As long as someone feels something, I have achieved my goal. The exhibition features works from various series, including "Fly by Night" and, most recently, "Beautiful Terrible".
Toyin Loye was born in Nigeria in 1959 and studied fine arts at Obafemi Awolowo University in Ile Ife. His works have been shown in solo and group exhibitions on all continents. He lives and works in The Hague, Netherlands. The works shown here focus on the transfer of ancient rituals of African peoples to the present day. The signs carved into the skin served the Yoruba as a means of social identification of the tribe or family. Loye's concern is to convey the significance of dying practices and to relate them to today's ideals of beauty.
William Ropp, born in 1960 in Versailles, France, is an internationally successful photographer who is also known as the "shadow sculptor" because of his special style. He often places his models in complete darkness and then uses extremely long exposure times. With an old flash light he creates a partly mystical looking illumination. In his photographs, Ropp wants to capture that which the people he portrays do not carry out into the world, that which normally remains hidden. Especially his portraits of children are impressive proof of this.
Imraan Christian, 1992 born in Cape Town, is a young South African photographer and filmmaker. He is an artist and activist at the same time and describes himself as "son of the soil". In recent years he has worked on projects with UNICEF, CNN, BBC world services, Nike and Vogue Italia, among others. Christian gained international recognition with his documentary about the student riots in South Africa in 2015/16. The exhibition will present works from his new series "Crown". In these photographs, it was his intention to honour their common ancestors and their connection to the cosmos. Drawings from different indigenous cultures show that during a ritual the skin was darkened with pigments to embody the dark depth of the cosmos. | | |

| | | Renata, Bucharest, Romania, Courtesy Eidos Foundation © Alec Soth, Magnum Photos, loan from Loock Galerie, Berlin | | | | | | | 11 September - 6 December 2020 | | | | | | | 15 September 2020, 19.00 hrs CET via Zoom | | | | | | | | | | | | | Magnum photographer Alec Soth (1969) has become known as the chronicler of life at the American margins of the United States. He made a name as a photographer with his 2004 series Sleeping by the Mississippi, encountering unusual and often overlooked places and people as he travelled along the river banks. A major retrospective in 2015 was followed by a period of seclusion and introspection, during which Soth did not travel and barely photographed. His most recent project, I Know How Furiously Your Heart is Beating, is the result of this personal search, and marks a departure from Soth’s earlier work. The photographer slowed down his work process and turned the lens inward. Foam presents the first museum exhibition of his new series, consisting of portraits of remarkable people in their habitat, and still-lifes of their personal belongings.
Starting point was a portrait Soth made in 2017 of the then 97-year-old choreographer Anna Halprin in her home in California. The interaction with this exceptional woman in her most intimate surroundings meant a breakthrough for Soth. Instead of focusing on a place, a community or demography, he concentrated on individuals and their private settings. Unlike many of Soth’s previous visual narratives, the choice of geographical location was not preconceived, but the result of a series of chance encounters. | | |

| | | Joris, Amsterdam 24 april 1991 © The Remsen Wolff Collection - Courtesy of Jochem Brouwer | | | | | | | | 11 September – 6 December 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exhibition Amsterdam Girls presents more than 50 vintage portraits and contact prints from the analogue archive of the American photographer Remsen Wolff (1940-1998). From 1990 to 1992, Wolff spent one month each year at the American Hotel in Amsterdam to work on the project Special Girls - A Celebration. For this project, Wolff made a series of portraits of transgender people in New York and in Amsterdam, the city known at the time as ‘the gay capital of Europe’. These unique portraits range from the exuberant and glamorous to the subdued and vulnerable. Together, the photographs show the degree of gender fluidity in 1990s Amsterdam, beyond the spotlight of notorious nightclubs such as Club RoXY and iT. The individuals posing for Wolff’s camera vary from celebrated figures such as Jet Brandsteder (a.k.a. Francine), Hellun Zelluf and Vera Springveer (regular performers in clubs like RoXY and Mazzo), to anonymous transgender people who experimented and sometimes struggled with their gender identity. | | |

SHE GONE TO TOWN / RESTRICTED WITH MADELEINE NAPANGARDI DIXON, MELINDA NAPURRURLA WILSON AND POLLY ANNE NAPANGARDI DIXON, 2014 - 2018
Acrylic paint on archival pigment print
67 x 100 cm / framed 89 x 122 cm
Unique piece | | | | | | | | ... until 24 October 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Ravestijn Gallery is proud to present exclusively the first gallery exhibition of Patrick Waterhouse's acclaimed series "Restricted Images", made with the Warlpiri of Central Australia.
Patrick Waterhouse was born in the UK in 1981. The Restricted Images series is a collaboration between Waterhouse and the Warlukurlangu Art Centre. The works were made in the communities of Yuendumu and Nyirripi which are remote desert aboriginal communities in Central Australia.
The publication in 1899 of The Native Tribes of Central Australia caused a sensation in Europe. The book’s authors, telegraph-station master Francis J. Gillen and ethnologist W. Baldwin Spencer, had written in depth about the customs and traditions of the Aboriginal groups living near Alice Springs and also illustrated their texts with 119 photographs, many of which captured rituals and ceremonies. While the subject, quality and quantity of the images set a new standard for anthropological photography, the authors were largely oblivious to the impact they would have on the lives of the Aboriginals. The pictures revealed the gap in knowledge between the authors, whose goal was showing the exotic natives "in their natural state", and the subjects, who were completely unaware of the new medium and how it could invade their privacy or reveal their secrets to a wider audience. Unwittingly or not, the authors also infringed upon Aboriginal cultural protocols by showing sacred sites and the dead. | | |

| | | Gideon Mendel: Matt Rumble at his burnt home in Yowrie, New South Wales, 2020 | | | | | | | | ... until 26 September 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | | At a critical moment for humanity ARTCO presents the work of Gideon Mendel who has been bearing witness to our global climate emergency.
The "Flood and Fire; Our Fragile Planet" exhibition explores the evolution of Mendel’s practice, which has shifted from a traditional documentary approach to one that incorporates conceptual and metaphorical components. His on-going journey has involved more than twenty trips in response to climate disasters around the world ranging from the recent horrific fires in Australia to overwhelming floods in thirteen countries.
The resulting photographs feature people from some of the poorest and wealthiest communities on the planet, at the moment of disaster all equally vulnerable to the floods and flames that envelop them. The fundamental elements of fire and water become a levelling factor bringing Mendel’s subjects together in visual solidarity as they gaze directly at the camera, demanding the viewers close consideration of man-made global warming.
In these devastated landscapes reality can seem inverted. With surreal reflections and ghostly charred remnants we see the impressions of these climate events on both intimate personal spaces and areas of natural beauty. There is often an eerily precise symmetry to be found within the chaos.
Mendel has also collected an archive of physical objects and personal photographs, marked by the fires and floods of recent history. He presents these in ways that enhance their materiality and reflect the potential damage done to communal memory through climate change.
Mendel chooses not to photograph the expected moments of burning fires nor the surging flood. Rather, he seeks out the aftermath, challenging the expected representation… | | |

| | Michael Schmidt, o.T. aus LEBENSMITTEL, 2006-2010, Bromsilbergelatineprint, 54,1x81,6 cm
© Stiftung fär Fotografie und Medienkunst mit Archiv Michael Schmidt | | | | | | | | ... until 17 January 2021 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael Schmidt (1945–2014) occupies a unique position in contemporary German photography. Born in Berlin and with no formal training in photography, he discovered the medium as a form of artistic expression in the mid-1960s. The retrospective at the Hamburger Bahnhof portrays his life’s work chronologically for the first time and also represents the first exhibition of the photographer’s oeuvre in his hometown of Berlin in 25 years.
For each of his work groups, Schmidt developed an individual photographic method of accessing reality. These include portraits, self-portraits, cityscapes, landscapes and still lifes. Along with the series Waffenruhe (1987), Ein-heit (1996), Lebensmittel (2012) and other original photographs, the exhibition presents unpublished working prints, book designs and archival materials to illustrate the development of Schmidt’s art, which through its continual exploration and innovation has been seminal for a younger generation of photographers.
A 400-page catalogue published by Koenig Books accompanies the exhibition and contains essays by Ute Eskildsen, Janos Frecot, Peter Galassi, Heinz Liesbrock and Thomas Weski, all of whom worked with the artist on various projects.
Following the exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof, the retrospective will be shown at the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris (11 May – 29 August 2021), the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid (28 September 2021 – 28 February 2022) and the Albertina Museum in Vienna (24 March –12 June 2022). | | |

Research engineer Matěj Karásek Ph.D. with an autonomous bionic drone
Pigment print, 2018
© Claudius Schulze, Courtesy the Artist / Galerie Robert Morat | | | | | | | | 12 September – 20 December, 2020 | | | Opening: Friday, 11 September, 6–9pm
Part of the EMOP Berlin—European Month of Photography 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | | We are witnessing the greatest upheavals of modern times: Artificial Intelligence and Global Change are altering fundamentally what we took for granted. Biosphere X is the attempt to document and reflect on these developments artistically.
As an artist and researcher, Claudius Schulze has always strived to find the world that lies below the surfaces of the ordinary. His work series Biosphere X documents the extinction of species, depicts the development of bionic robots, protocols animals and their behavior, visualizes urban retreats of wild nature from the perspective of autonomous machines, and creates new species with its own artificial intelligence.
Today up to 50 percent of all animal species are threatened with extinction. At the same time, leading developers and philosophers are already sketching a bio- and geotechnical future in which machines will develop their own consciousness. What may seem to be two distinct developments—of nature and IT—are in fact the consequences of the actions of the one species that has come to dominate the planet: homo sapiens.
For his site-specific installation Biosphere X at the Alfred Erhardt Stiftung, Claudius Schulze conflates these two epoch-defining trends: the loss of biodiversity on the one hand and the creation of new life forms through artificial intelligence and bionics on the other. Could miniature drones soon be used to pollinate crop plants at a time when, concurrently, the basis of life for millions of living creatures is being lost? As part of an intensive research process Claudius Schulze uses the medium of photography and other imaging methods to work on the representation of these two abstract and complex phenomena, in an attempt to make them more t… | | |

| | | Installation view: Frank Mädler "Lob und Landschaft" 2020 | | | | | | | | ... until 17 October 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | | In his latest, mostly large-format works, Frank Mädler dedicates himself to surface and color. In camera-less photographs, he creates landscapes ("Felder") that deal with the process of reduction and simplification. Frank Mädler also continues his work with photograms ("Frauengruppen"). Color and the theme of memory play a central role in his new body of work, "Umgebungsbilder".
Frank Mädler's ceramic objects not only add interesting facets to his photographic practice, they are an integral part of the work of this versatile artist.
Born in Torgelow, Germany, in 1963, Frank Mädler studied at the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig, Germany, under the direction of renowned artist Astrid Klein. In 2004, he won a scholarship to the German Academy in Rome at the Villa Massimo, an esteemed German prize for a visual artist. In 2007, Mädler graduated with his Masters in Fine Art from the Academy of Visual Arts in Leipzig, Germany, where he lives and works today.
His work hangs in public and private collections, including the American Bank Collection, USA, the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, the Antoine de Galbert Foundation in Paris, the Mulder Foundation in Lima, Peru, the Kunstforum Ostdeutsche Galerie in Regensburg, Germany, the DZ BANK Kunstsammlung, Frankfurt, Germany, Art Collection Telekom, Berlin, and the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen in Dresden, Germany.
Frank Mädler has published various monographs and books and has been written about by several curators, scholars and critics, including Martina Padberg, Tanja Dückers, Charlotte Gutmann, Maximillian Keller, Lily Koshitavshvili, Christina Leber, Agnes Matthias, Katharina Menzel, and Insa Wilke. | | |

| | | René Groebli: Tanz (Dance), 1947, 30 x 42 cm, Ed. 7 | | | René Groebli » Platin Palladium Prints 1946 – 2006 | | | | ... until 9 October 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exhibition "René Groebli - Platinum Palladium Prints" introduces the viewer to the exciting work of Groebli with pictures that were created using the noblest, most stable and most exclusive process. Each enlargement is unique. Such a print loses none of its intensity over time and is not permanently damaged by exposure to light. The shades of gray are many times richer and so fine compared to the silver gelatin prints that even in dark areas you can still see the drawing.
His friend, the well-known Swiss photographer Robert Frank, had a great influence on René Groebli's early photographic work. The subjectivity in Robert Frank's work occupied René Groebli and led him to his own subjective-poetic visual language. Groebli wanted to take pictures of what is not tangible: movement, dynamics and speed - like "Rail Magic", a groundbreaking photo essay that was created in 1949 and which, in an interplay of smoke, smell, landscape, romance and mood, symbolizes the French steam train as a symbol of power and feelings - like in "The Eye of Love", a photographic love poem, a work full of timeless poetry, which was created in 1953.
The images captivate with the beauty of the movements, the play with the silhouette, the subdued light, the deep shadows, the contrast between sharpness and blur, the covering and revealing. They live on the suggestion and the association. You can see still lifes, an interior of the hotel room, a look out of the window, even a scene in the neighboring cafe - but the focus is on something that the photographer looks at with the eyes of love: his wife Rita.

28 October to 19 December 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Isabelle Hayeur is known for the rigour and consistency of a body of work conceived around social and political issues related to the environment. Her commitment to the environment and its ominous fate is tenacious and unfailing. The exhibition (D)énoncer, being presented in three regions of Québec, traces the travels and investigations of a photographer and video maker in action, constantly on the lookout for upheavals in our ecosystems, which she transposes into images and words. A large proportion of the exhibition is allotted to her recent output, including previously unseen work. This work is paired with her earliest photographs of excavations and with her involvement with citizens’ and activist groups. Her work conveys the damage our planet is suffering and accords in a gripping manner to say the least with the current public health crisis. | | |

Each reflects the latest trends in contemporary Cuban photography, the concerns and narrative methods of authors united by the common denominator of the island, with its history, its light and the magic of a setting captured in every snapshot.
Trasatlántica, the visual arts and photography forum of PHotoEspaña, was established in 2008 to encourage exchange and support the promotion of artists and photographers across the globe. Working with the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) and its network of cultural centres, Trasatlántica has organised events in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Morocco, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, the Philippines, Senegal, the United States, Uruguay and Venezuela, among other countries. | | |

| | | © Laura Stevens / Galerie Miranda | | | | | | | | ... until 31 October 2020 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Galerie Miranda is delighted to present a solo exhibition of photographs by English artist Laura Stevens (b. 1977), on the subject of the male nude.
In the ongoing battle against the objectification of the female body and the gender stereotypes that have entrapped women for centuries, several major exhibitions in the last decade have brought their focus to representations of the male body. In 2013 the Musée d'Orsay in Paris considered the history of the male nude in art, from the classical ideal to the realism of Schiele and the homoerotic of Pierre et Gilles. In January 2020, against the backdrop of the #metoo movement and the conviction of Harvey Weinstein, the Barbican museum in London organized the exhibition 'Masculinities: Liberation through photography'. Extensively researched, these exhibitions considered the array of stereotypes that have defined men's identity over the centuries but also allowed it to evolve. The Barbican exhibition presented critical points of view by 55 major artists, of which 16 were women (Rineke Dijkstra, Karen Knorr, Catherine Opie, Annette Messager...) who each explore specific masculine stereotypes.
In contrast, Laura Stevens' photographs of men are devoid of judgement or caricature. In a quest for a personal vision of masculine beauty, Stevens photographs the bodies of men of different ages with a gaze that is observant, curious, open and sensual yet not sexualized. Stevens is interested in the lines and forms created by the men's poses, finding beauty and humanity in each unique body, irrespective of their proportions. Thus exposed, the men are simultaneously virile and vulnerable; muscled and gracile; confident and shy. With great simplicity and a soft photographic pa… | | |

Photography. | | | | Seven Decades of Street Photography | | | | | | | 12 September 2020 – 10 January 2021 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fleeting encounters in the streets of international metropolises, calm suburban scenes, thriving thoroughfares, quirky everyday settings – street photography presents the diversity of our urban spaces and the people who live in them. The exhibition "Street. Life. Photography" offers a range of very different perspectives on city life and ways ofphotographing the street.
Street photography depicts public life in metropolitan centres. It shows everyday scenes and escapades, commerce and individuality, comedy and tragedy, political engagement and social change. It portrays single people who seem to merge into the crowds, creating a sense of both proximity and distance. The diversity of urban spaces and their inherent dynamism have always offered countless opportunities for photographers to capture the city’s spectacle and drama.
The exhibition "Street. Life. Photography. Seven Decades of Street Photography" presents around 220 works by thirty-seven international photographers made over the last seventy years. These works present a variety of different perspectives on urban life, while also showcasing the art of taking photographs on the street and in the city. How have photographers viewed the city and its inhabitants both now and in the past? To what extent is our understanding of public and private space and our relationship to our urban environment reflected in their works? How have views of the city – and thus also the genre of street photography – changed over the course of time?
In this exhibition, international contemporary photographers like Maciej Dakowicz, Loredana Nemes, Jenny Odell and Harri Pälviranta are contrasted with historical positions such as those of Diane Arbus, Lee Friedlan… | | |

| | Robert Frank, White Tower, New York 1948
© Andrea Frank Foundation; courtesy Pace/MacGill Gallery, New York | | | | | | | 12 September 2020 – 10 January 2021 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Robert Frank, who was born in Zurich in 1924 and died last year in Canada, is widely regarded as one of the most important photographers of our time. Over the course of decades, he has expanded the boundaries of photography and explored its narrative potential like no other. Robert Frank travelled thousands of miles between the American East and West Coasts in the mid-1950s, going through nearly 700 films in the process. A selection of 83 black-and-white images from this blend of diary, sombre social portrait and photographic road movie would leave its mark on generations of photographers to come. The photobook "The Americans" was first published in Paris, followed by the US in 1959 – with an introduction by Beat writer Jack Kerouac, no less. Off-kilter compositions, cut-off figures and blurred motion marked a new photographic style teetering between documentation and narration that would have a profound impact on postwar photography.
It is quite possibly the single most influential book in the history of photography; however, rather than being a spontaneous stroke of genius, Frank had worked on his subjective visual language for years. Many of his photographs from Switzerland, Europe and South America, as well as his rarely shown works from the USA in the early 1950s, are on a par with the famous classics from "The Americans". The photographer’s early work, which remained unpublished for editorial reasons and is therefore little known to this day, reveals connections to those iconic pictures that still define our image of America, even today.
At the heart of the exhibition "Robert Frank – Memories" is the narrative force of Robert Frank’s visual language, which developed in opposition to all con… | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | FESTIVAL LA GACILLY-BADEN PHOTO 2020
The festival will take place 14 July (French National Holiday) to 26 October 2020 (Austrian National Holiday).
The festival is entering its third year and it has become a communicator of topics with a strong humanistic orientation showcasing the various aspects of the relationships between people and their environment.
The festival extends over a length of 7 kilometers – divided into a "garden route" and a "town route", starting from the visitor center on Brusattiplatz. Integrated into the public space, there are about 2,000 photographs to be seen, some as large as up to 280m2.
It is the largest outdoor photography festival in Europe, visited by 266,751 visitors in 2019. Entry is free.
NEVER GIVE UP! – This is the motto 2020, which combines the work of the photographers of the Festival La Gacilly-Baden Photo in two impressive themes: "All Eyes East" and "Renaissance".
Renaissance or rebirth – stands for the commitment and awareness of the exhibiting photographers for our planet Earth with their work, just like festival founder Jacques Rocher with his gigantic 100 million trees reforestation project "Plant for the Planet".
Rebirth consequently means the hope of change for the better of our world. In this sense, remembering the Fall of the Berlin Wall 31 years ago as a unique example of how the wind of freedom triggered Glasnost (openness) and Perestroika (remodeling). And thus enabled the modernization of the social, political and economic system of the former Soviet Union, which ultimately led to the end of the Cold War. | | |

What is their place in society, how do they see their future, what are their ambitions?
Generation Z
The artists selected by guest curator Robert Jan Verhagen paint a picture of a generation that has an infinite amount of information at its disposal, faces an exhausted earth and grows up in times of economic stagnation and nationalistic sentiments. But they also show us a group that focuses on fundamental emancipation processes, sustainability and inclusivity. Generation Z represents a change in thinking and acting that will affect all generations.
The Noorderlicht International Photo Festival 2020, GENERATION Z, will take place from July 18 to September 20 at four locations in Heerenveen and Groningen, the Netherlands. The 27th edition is about the mindset and energy of the youngest generation of world citizens, born after 1995. What is their place in society, how do they see their future, what are their ambitions? By tapping into the hopes and fears of Generation Z, Noorderlicht aims to provide insight into their young adult world. A sharp selection has been made for the festival, that shows a generation focusing on fundamental emancipation processes.
