Anastasia Samoylova’s first major survey exhibition will open in the fall at Saatchi Gallery, London

The Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography and Saatchi Gallery are proud to present ANASTASIA SAMOYLOVA: ADAPTATION, the first major survey of contemporary American photographer Anastasia Samoylova. Curated by Taous Dahmani, this exhibition will present works from five of Samoylova’s most significant series: ‘Landscape Sublime’, ‘Image Cities’, ‘FloodZone’, ‘Floridas’, and ‘Breakfasts’. The exhibition features compelling video work previously unseen in the UK.

In ADAPTATION, Samoylova directs her frank and curious gaze at evidence of the environment adapting to human intervention and, correspondingly, at our social and political resistance to respond to a rapidly changing planet. Her subjects – often pastel-hued, doused in refracting light and darkened by impenetrable shadow – speak to this push and pull. Viewers are lured to take a closer look; subtly challenged to consider the ways in which we are encroaching on the environment and alerted to the danger of denial.

Do you want to know more about Samoylova’s work? The Observer has just released an interview of the artist! Click here to read it!

Thomas Demand tells you more about his work

At first, the images Thomas Demand creates seem to depict the real world. A closer look, however, reveals that they are actually photographs of temporary sculptural re-creations. The artist has spent over three decades exploring the intersections of history, photography, and memory. His large-scale photographic works investigate the way images embed themselves in a society’s collective memory. Want to hear more about his work from the artist himself? Click here to see the short one minute video!
From June 30 through September 15, 2024, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston presents Thomas Demand: The Stutter of History, a landmark retrospective of the artist’s work, with more than 70 images. The MFAH is the only U.S. venue for this exhibition, touring internationally!

Thomas Demand’s landmark retrospective in Houston

Thomas Demand: The Stutter of History is opening this Sunday, June 30, at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

At first, the images Thomas Demand creates seem to depict the real world. A closer look, however, reveals that they are actually photographs of temporary sculptural re-creations. The artist often selects his source imagery from the news media, and he re-creates those images as life-size paper models. Then he photographs them and prints them at a monumental scale. Afterward, he destroys his models, leaving behind only their ghostly photographic doubles.

The internationally touring exhibition Thomas Demand: The Stutter of History is a landmark retrospective of the artist’s work, and the MFAH is the only venue in the U.S.

Nadav Kander as guest star of the festival “PORTRAIT(S)” in Vichy

From June 7 to September 29, 2024 in Vichy, France, Nadav Kander presents “The Edge of Things”, an immersive exhibition of his work, combining installations, films and photographs, some of which have never been seen before. A master picture maker and a tireless experimenter, Kander searches for the unexpected resonance in people and places, those moments when something profound is revealed to the eye and the camera.

The photographer, who has rarely looked back, is also currently working on a major exhibition with the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography and with curator David Campany, sifting through four decades’ of constant image making. Cutting across genres and projects, the exhibition will draw out the hidden threads that connect all his work: the fragility of human existence, the passing of time, the grain of the everyday and the hope of something transcendent.

Last days to see “Flora Imaginaria” in Palm Beach

“Flora Imaginaria” will be closing this Sunday, April 28 at the Society of the Four Arts, Palm Beach, FL. 

Flowers have been a source of inspiration for photographers since the medium’s inception. Today, flower photography remains in full bloom as contemporary photographers continue the storied tradition of depicting floral motifs in novel ways. Flora Imaginaria features images shot over the last 30 years and is an ode to this historically important photographic subject. It explores the aesthetic and decorative qualities of flowers and their rich cultural history as symbols and motifs through many genres of photography, including still lifes, botanical studies, portraits, studies of the body, street photography, and surrealist collages.

Featured artists include Pedro Almodóvar, Valérie Belin, Daniel Gordon, Abelardo Morell, Vik Muniz, Viviane Sassen, and Martin Schoeller, along with a selection of emerging artists.

Curated by William A. Ewing and Danaé Panchaud.

We are delighted to announce that James Balog: Photographs from the Anthropocene will open this Saturday, September 16 at the Museum of Photographic Arts / San Diego Museum of Art, in California. The exhibition presents photographs that describe both the ancient cyclical patterns of the earth’s life forms and the impact of human activity on those forms and cycles. For four decades, Balog has studied ancient cultural assumptions about the relationship between humans and the rest of nature. Through innovative imagery, his projects interpret significant aspects of what has changed, what has survived, and what changes are projected for the future. His photographs reveal nature’s dazzling beauty as well as its capacity for destruction.

Thomas Demand: The Stutter of History is now on view at the Israel Museum of Jerusalem. The exhibition presents a career-wide survey of his work, the artist having spent almost three decades exploring the intersections of history, images, and architectural forms. In his large-scale photographic objects, history presents itself as banal, gnawingly disturbing facsimiles of places and episodes that we cannot quite identify. Demand has also conceived the design for the exhibition, as an integral part of his approach to artistic production. With his architectural use of wallpapers and temporary structures, he creates an immersive environment for the viewer in which image and world collide.

Showing over 70 photographs, films, and wallpapers that span the arc of Demand’s career, this exhibition, his first comprehensive survey in China, focuses on four important areas of the artist’s work: large-scale photographs that depict seemingly banal but historically significant scenarios reconstructed based on news or other source images; the personal “Dailies” constructed from images taken with his phone; photographic studies of paper models by architects and a fashion designer in the “Model Studies” series; and the artist’s moving image work.

James Balog’s The Human Element among this Year’s Best Photo Books

The major publication dedicated to James Balog is selected as one of the best photographic books of the year by The Times (London). The Human Element: A Time Capsule from the Anthropocene, published by Rizzoli, presents four decades of Balog’s research and photography. The illustrated oversized 400 page catalogue comprises a major text by curator Anne Tucker.

The Year’s Best Photo Books. Whether it’s power stations pumping out smoke or a blazing forest, the environmental photographer James Balog offers a harrowing look into the impact humans have on our planet.  With its hurricane-crumpled homes, tsunami-swallowed freighters and even playful doodles of tyre tracks on salt flats, this book can easily make a reader feel small. Yet it also inspires with its reverence and wonder, from the slow ache of ancient woodland and its gnarled sculptures, to the smoke-blackened faces of 
firefights up close.” —THE TIMES (LONDON)

“Beyond Fashion” reaches Chinese audiences

“Beyond Fashion” reaches Chinese audiences

“Over the last 100 years, fashion photography forged an image of alluring beauty which, through time, encouraged a celebration of stereotypical ideals of beauty. These may be far from realistic but are always desirable. The work of younger fashion photographers included in this exhibition reveals how the myth is being challenged, pointing the way to a different future vision.” – Nathalie Herschdorfer, Curator

A recent review following the opening of FEP’s “Civilization: The Way We Live Now” at Australia’s National Gallery of Victoria notes: “A hallmark of a memorable exhibition is that it seduces the viewer through its sheer beauty, while at the same time making us question the reality that we inhabit.” Read more here at The Conversation’s website.

Success of the Steichen exhibition in Australia

Posted on 11 / 20 / 2013

Curator Joan Simon talks about the show

Following a critically acclaimed opening in Paris at the Jeu de Paume (May 28-Sept. 1, 2013), the Lorna Simpson exhibition  has merited Simpson’s selection as a finalist for the Deutsche Börse Photography prize 2014. The Jeu de Paume show received extensive press coverage in print and blogs as well as radio and television media and was accompanied by prominent posters in the métro featuring images from Simpson’s video installation Chess (2013). With the generous sponsorship of the Terra Foundation, the Jeu de Paume hosted a series of roundtables with scholars, artists, catalogue contributors, and the show’s curator. In October 2013 Lorna Simpson began its tour at Munich’s Haus der Kunst (Oct. 25, 2013-Feb. 2, 2014).

This touring version of the show is larger than the Jeu de Paume installation. It includes all of the works exhibited there while also featuring a new large-scale dual screen projection of Simpson’s video Momentum (2010), twenty five collages created with images published in Ebony magazine amplified with ink drawing by the artist (2013), and the photo/sculpture combine Players (2013), all of which demonstrate Simpson’s use of found images to explore new forms of gestures and re-enactments, the underlying theme and formal strategy of Simpson’s work since the 1980’s.

Building on her  practice of recuperating vintage photographs purchased on eBay – such as inexpensive photo booth shots (presented in bronze frames, like the related drawings of details of  Gather, 2008, and Please remind me of who I am, 2009) as well as an album of staged images of an anonymous woman and man taken in Los Angeles in 1957 for her epic 1957-2009 (2009) (constituted of 298 photographs and in which Simpson performs in her work for the first time to re-enact both female and male poses seen in poses of  the original images that are also part of the work) – Simpson continues to collect vintage photographs and to use them in new ways.

The source images for Players (2013) came from a Baltimore newspaper archive. Simpson purchased many 8 x 10 glossies, photographs that bore crop marks and scale indications and, at times, handwriting of additional instructions for the analog process of newspaper publishing that existed from the 1940’s to the early 1980’s. Simpson reproduced the original images of these “found” photographs of basketball players by slightly enlarging the images via a digital archival pigment process. The digital prints were further enhanced with Simpson’s hand-painted details to replicate the surface of marks that appear on the originals, where china marker and gouache were used to indicate crop marks and silhouettes. This alteration by the artist mimics the contrast between hand-painted indications and the surface of the originals’ photographic paper.

Simpson’s installation pairs each of her newly made aluminum-framed photographs with a sculptural aluminum form that isolates and abstracts the basketball (or basketballs) seen in each photograph. The specific three-dimensional orb is translated to a concave shape positioned within the overall gray field of each aluminum box. The photographs are presented right-side up, upside-down, and horizontally, oftentimes contrary to the way they were published, as are their corresponding aluminum boxes.

Congratulations to Lorna Simpson and Arno Rafael Minkkinen
