Фотооткрытки, гуляют, естественно, и за пределами pf-пространства. На длиииинном блоге Diane, A Shaded View on Fashion, где иногда попадаются ссылки на интересных авторов, работающих с портретом, нашлось, в частности, вот такое поздравление:

Anouk Kruithof and Jaap Scheeren discuss their series The Black Hole

Все это, собственно, не столько по поводу ее работ и осознанной попытки снимать портреты с закрытыми глазами, сколько в продолжение рассуждений, что в NL шансов студентам себя проявить принципиально больше, в том числе на основе рассуждений о собственной судьбе. Визуальные исследования:

Anouk Kruithof and Jaap Scheeren
The Black Hole


Not long after young Dutch photographers Anouk Truithof and Jaap Scheeren graduated from art school, they were featured in a newspaper series on the future of art-school graduates which was titled The Black Hole. For Truithof and Scheeren, who were determined to make a name for themselves as photographers, that title became a theme for an ambitious project: a series of photographs on depression, black-outs, the Universe and actual “black holes.” The result is this multi-dimensional publication, in which pictures relate to each other in ever-changing variations, filling the “black hole” – no matter how you define it – in new and surprising ways. This fresh, innovative publication was the first winner of the Unique Photography Prize awarded by HUP Gallery Amsterdam.

Имя попалось еще в любопытной заметке Foam follows function (
Afterimage, May-June, 2006 by Bill Kouwenhoven)

FOAM_FUSION
FOTOMUSEUM AMSTERDAM
AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS
APRIL 7-8, 2006

If a museum's function is to be both didactic and inspiring, then the FotoMuseum Amsterdam (FOAM) pulled off a very successful weekend during what would otherwise have been dead time between taking down their Henri Cartier-Bresson show and installing work by Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Anouk Kruithof, Jaap Scheeren, and Larry Towell. Foam_fusion, with international workshops, panel discussions, portfolio reviews, an auction, and presentations by artists including Joan Fonteuberta, Stephen Gill, Anthony Goicolea, Jacqueline Hassink, and Bertien van Manen, was extraordinarily well attended.

This virtual photography event, with its slide shows and lectures, brought the museum as simulacra to life. This was manifest not only in Fontcuberta's presentation of "Landscapes without Memory" (2005) and "Googlegrams" (2005), but also in the choice of having Roman Berka of Vienna's Museum in Progress (MIP), describe the MIP's art projects that take place in public spaces and in the paper-based and digital media. Fontcuberta's "Landscapes," now collected in an Aperture monograph, continue his exploration of the interfaces between art and technology. Based on map rendering software, the images are created by scanning images of actual, painted landscapes, by Paul Cezanne, Claude Monet, et al., into a computer that interprets the colors as elevations on a topographical map. It then proceeds to render a digital landscape such as one that might be found in a video game or military flight simulator. The results are remarkable. At times they resemble their source material, but generally these constructed landscapes serve to remind us that the very notion of a "landscape" itself is a human construct and exists outside of the real world. The "Googlegrams" take advantage of Google's image search applications and the composite image rendering software that produces photomosaics…

На блоге Lens Culture имеется вот какая ценность:

24 Photographers speaking — online, free, and inspiring

Listening to a photographer talking about his or her work — why they use photography primarily and not some other art form, creative motivations, details about a specific image or body of work, hopes and frustrations, techniques and human curiosity, and more — can provide a unique understanding and a new way to view and appreciate their work. It can be instantly enriching to hear the way they talk, the pauses and reflections, the words they choose to describe what they do so eloquently and wordlessly with their art.

Audio recordings have been a significant feature of Lens Culture since its beginning 3 years ago in April 2004. All of the recordings are available to listen to at your convenience through our online archives at www.lensculture.com/archives . There you can discover illuminating conversations and discussions with photographers including:

Anders Petersen
Abelardo Morell
William Christenberry

Miesiąc Fotografii w Krakowie 2008: "Młodość"

W maju 2008 rozpocznie się szósta edycja Miesiąca Fotografii w Krakowie — jednego z najważniejszych festiwali fotografii w Polsce, który od kilku lat coraz widoczniej zaznacza swoją pozycję na światowej mapie tego typu wydarzeń. Po raz pierwszy organizatorzy Miesiąca Fotografii oficjalnie ogłaszają możliwość zgłaszania projektów do tematycznego programu głównego festiwalu. Oferta jest skierowana zarówno do kuratorów, galerii, jak i samych fotografów.

Tradycyjnie na tematyczną część programu głównego składa się kilkanaście wystaw indywidualnych wybranych przez Radę Programową festiwalu (w składzie: Karol Hordziej, Piotr Lelek, Andrzej Kramarz, Łukasz Trzciński, Wojtek Nowicki, Mark Power oraz Michael Famighetti). Wśród zaproszonych artystów są co roku sławy światowej fotografii (Martin Parr, Anders Petersen, Nobuyoshi Araki, Luc Delahaye, Michael Ackerman), jak też młodzi twórcy podbijający dopiero europejskie i światowe galerie (Jacob Aue Sobol, Aneta Grzeszykowska, Christian Wolter, Przemek Pokrycki).

Еще:

Mark Power i Michael Famighetti w Radzie Programowej festiwalu

Rada Programowa krakowskiego festiwalu powiększyła się o dwóch członków! Mark Power, jest fotografem Agencji Magnum, a od 2007 roku także kuratorem (projekt "Teatry Wojny" podczas MFK 2007). Michael Famighetti to wydawca prestiżowego magazynu "Aperture". Tym samym za program najbliższej edycji odpowiadać będą, poza wymienioną dwójką: Karol Hordziej, Andrzej Kramarz, Piotr Lelek, Łukasz Trzciński i Wojtek Nowicki.

Tematem zbliżającej się edycji festiwalu jest "młodość".

Intencją organizatorów jest zaprezentowanie zestawu indywidualnych projektów odnoszących się w szczególności do aktualnych zjawisk związanych z pojęciem młodości…

Images'08 s’articulera autour d’une nouvelle manière d’exposer à travers la ville en la transformant en musée à ciel ouvert, utilisant l’espace public extérieur comme lieu d’accrochage. En plus de la gratuité des expositions et une visibilité démultipliée, cette démarche permettra aux artistes de développer des oeuvres spécifiques en sortant du cadre d’exposition traditionnel et d’allier la rue à l’imaginaire.

La biennale conserve la spécificité de ses deux GRANDS PRIX, l’un en photographie l’autre en cinéma. La particularité de ces concours est de permettre, par une véritable aide à la création, la réalisation de projets.

London’s international contemporary photography fair: a new management, a new concept, a new venue

A new management: on November 2006, photo-london was taken over by Reed Exhibitions, owner and organiser of Paris Photo, now the most important photography fair in the world. photo-london is held in the spring, and Paris Photo in the autumn. The Paris Photo team will be managing photo-london with Daniel Newburg, photo-london’s founder, as creative director.

A new concept: photo-london will now focus exclusively on contemporary photography since 1970. It aims to show the diversity of subjects, concepts, styles and techniques explored by photo-based artists from documentary work to conceptual art photography, as well as image combined with media such as audio, video, and installation. photo-london will provide a unique platform to highlight the latest international trends and expressions available in the medium of photography.

A new venue: the fourth photo-london will take place in a new and exceptional venue, Old Billingsgate, a magnificent 19th-century market building designed by Sir Horace Jones and entirely renovated in 1988 by acclaimed architect Richard Rogers. At the foot of the City, next to the Tower of London and facing the Thames, Old Billingsgate is within easy access of Waterloo Station.

Вот это, видимо, очень даже стоит иметь в виду:

Winner of Kodak's Critic's Prize 2006: Arja Hyytiainen

Изображение
"Ferenc, Budapest, 2005" copyright Arja Katariina Hyytiainen/Agence Vu

jimcasper:

The 31st annual Prix Kodak de la Critique Photographique was selected by a jury of European photography critics whose formal statement said (in my rough translation from the French), "For the jury, the work of Arja Katariina Hyytiainen shows a very original and intent gaze — sometimes disturbing — on fragments of life. Her work is based on a personal artistic eye and use of very interesting light to share her personal experiences."

Еще там сообщается биографическая информация:

Born in 1974 in the town of Turku, Finland, Arja Katariina Hyytiainen is a graduate of photography of l'Académie des Beaux-Arts and has lived in France since 2005. She is represented by Agency VU' in Paris. In just a few short productive years, she has gained acclaim, respect and admiration through Europe, in particular in countries of Eastern Europe where she lived and had solo exhibitions (Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Moldavie, Slovenia). Her work has been shown in group shows in Berlin, Gothenburg, Cork and San Sebastian. She had her first three expositions in France just last year in Paris with Galerie VU', at an excellent group exposition in Enghien-les-Bains (Les Indépendances), and in Marseille (Atelier de Visu).

Но вот… издержки перевода, l'Académie des Beaux-Arts — это, как можно судить по информации на сайте автора, FAMU на самом деле, что представляется очень важным этапом для последующей карьеры, хотя сами другие возможности какрьерного роста нельзя исключать. Еще там и Швеция (HOLA fhsk documentary photography), 1998-9.

Приведенная работа — из цикла Journey:

Можно посмотреть все на сайте: http://www.arjahyytiainen.com/

Там же — другие серии (с небольшим комментарием), крайне заслуживающие внимания. В самом деле, очень неординарная девушка:

Arja is an intense, energetic photographer with a lust for life and humanity and experience that comes through in her gritty, grainy, uniquely personal work. She uses the camera, I think, as a form of journal for memories and experiences, and also as a way to get close to strangers and to help her come to grips with new and strange environments, behaviors, and foreign cultures. Looking through her photographs is sometimes like the guilty pleasure of reading someone's personal diary. The intimacy and distance she captures become experiences we can instantly share. I think of her as a very important photographer for the 21st century, and someone to watch.

Thoughts for the road is a starting point for two photographers, Arja Hyytiäinen (Finland) and Sergei Isakov (Russia) on a future project taking place the coming winter in Russia. The exhibition is organized as an invitation to their visual language and the possibilities to unite two visions into a larger unity.

The exhibition concentrates around human conditions and the seeking paths of the two authors. The conditions and places vary but the people stay the same.

The opening event will also present slideshows and films for a deeper understanding of the two different photographic viewpoints who are now preparing to establish a common project.

Chance 19, 2006

49.25 x 31.5 inches, edition of 7, chromogenic dye coupler print
front mounted to plexiglass, back mounted to aluminum


For his second solo exhibition at Robert Mann Gallery, Italian artist Silvio Wolf presents Voyager, on view from January 31 through March 15, 2008. An opening reception for the artist will be held on Thursday, January 31 from 6-8pm.

With the installation of the 14 photographs in Voyager, Silvio Wolf leads gallery visitors on a metaphorical journey enveloping the full range of photographic capabilities, weaving in and out of representation and abstraction. Beginning with an aerial view of seats at Milan's famous opera house, La Scala, Wolf signals that we are entering a world of theater and narrative. But the gallery visitor is not merely passive viewer. Rather than rooted in our chairs, Wolf's photo suggests we have transcended our assigned place, and are active performers. Indeed, photography as medium and structure are at the heart of Wolf's ongoing discourse. The ability of the medium to record and present information takes center stage, and necessarily light serves as the nominal content. The resultant forms play in abstraction, teetering on recognizable shapes and textures, ultimately articulating a meta-photography. A Rothko-esque panel finds the exquisite beauty in the striations of film leader — normally discarded on the darkroom floor, but here elevated to a higher status that is conceptual as well as perceptual. As the association with Rothko suggests, Wolf's work is never purely about structural exercises, but is grounded by the human and the emotional. Each photograph rivals the scale of the body, and in the glassy reflection of each piece the viewer is brought into the unfolding drama of the image, an effect reminiscent of Michelangelo Pistoletto's mirror paintings. The metaphorical journey of Voyager ends with a return to definable subjects: a tree in the morning mist, perhaps other voyagers ahead in the fog. Through the rhythms of appearance and disappearance, Wolf�s theater of light investigates the epistemological potential of image-making, embracing the thresholds where the visible becomes manifest.

Silvio Wolf was born in Italy in 1952. Wolf has been exhibiting internationally for over 25 years, engaging mediums ranging from photography and film to public installations. His work was featured at Documenta 8, and is included in numerous public collections. The artist lives and works in Milan, Italy.

The Un-manipulated Image

For the most part, photographers have applied their craft to the imitation of the real world. The camera has been used to capture a frozen slice of time, arresting a single instant from its place along the flow of the time line.

Rather than suspending a single moment, my photography examines the passage of time. With the aid of a digital slitscan camera of my own invention, the horizontal axis of the image is rendered as a time exposure. A single sliver of space is imaged over an extended period of time, with moving objects inserting themselves into the data stream at different speeds and directions. The result is a mind-bending swap of the dimensions of X and Time. Counter to classic photography, still objects are blurred and moving bodies are rendered clearly. Some figures are elongated and have stick legs, others are stretched out and their feet resemble skis. Shadows curve and landscapes are devoid of perspective.

Instead of mirroring reality as we know it, this camera records a hidden reality. The apparent "distortions" in the images all happen in-camera as the image is being recorded. There is no Photoshop manipulation. These "distortions" could really be described as a more accurate way of seeing the passage of time, although unfamiliar to our traditional concept of the depiction of time and space in art. In other words, this camera is recording a reality that exists, but one we cannot see without it.

I draw a link between the ephemeral nature of these fleeting images and the elusive nature of the quantum mechanical universe. Some scientists argue that the orbits of electrons do not exist in nature unless and until we observe them. So then, to observe is to create. Figures appear and disappear in my work like quantum particles and uncertainty rules the day.

My work reveals my admiration and awe about the real world: the camera doesn’t lie and that truth is stranger than fiction.

Joerg Maxzin

training as a wood sculptor before his studies at the Munich Art Academy can absolutely be felt in his photographs. Earth-tone shadows, brought to life in his photographs, develop an almost bodily presence, the border between shadows and people often indefinable in his dense works. As if they were one, cause and effect melt, the rules of physics are overridden. People turn into patterns, patterns into bodies and bodies into linear entities. Everything flows, floats and swings in a meditative elegance that is assigned another level of meaning through their titles…

Baxt

В череде интервью Conversations Archives у Кольберга, имеется, как выясняется не просто интервью с Эндрю Микшисом, а очень большое интервью. Ира вчера ночью отправила на краковский фестиваль подборку работ, среди которых имеются и просто замечательные, и просто шедевры. Работы — из цыганской серии. Стоило бы посмотреть эти новые вещи. Что конкретно вывело ее на эту тему (студенческий проект у Андрея Ленкевича), я не знаю, но в выставке «неСуществующей Европы» не одна работа из нее была:

http://forum.znyata.com/viewtopic.php?p=21976#21976

Кольберг пишет:

When I first saw Andrew Miksys' Baxt I realized I was dealing with something a bit different. Let's face it: Most people only know the Roma ("gypsies") as a comedic backdrop from the movie Borat, and there still exist considerable stereotypes (and worse) about them. So I asked Andrew whether he would be up for a conversation about his work.

Jörg Colberg: You spend a considerable amount of time in Lithuania, a country which also features quite prominently in your work. I'd be curious to learn why.

Andrew Miksys: My father was born in Lithuania. He was very young when he fled Lithuania in 1944 with my grandparents to escape the Soviet invasion. They were middle class Lithuanians and feared being deported to Siberia. After a 50-year absence my father returned to Lithuania in 1995 to visit our relatives. I really didn't know that much about Lithuania and I went along reluctantly. Right away, though, I realized that it would be an interesting place to photograph. Lithuania was still a bit frozen in time. A lot of the villages hadn’t changed much in hundreds of years, and there were remnants of the Soviet Union everywhere. Since my first visit Lithuania has moved with stunning speed from a former Soviet republic to a thriving EU member and I've found a lot of material to photograph…

…AM: About half way through my stay I came across a Roma family in Vilnius. I had no idea there were Roma in Lithuania and was surprised to find them here. I started to do more research and discovered that there were small groups of Roma in Vilnius and in many villages throughout Lithuania. At first it was very difficult to gain their trust. The Lithuanian press has done a great job demonizing the Roma and they're very reluctant to speak to journalists and photographers. Over time, though, I was able to make contacts and photograph. Once I got to know Romani people I realized very quickly that they are warm and generous people. My mother's side of the family is Italian and the Roma often remind me of my Italian relatives – very loyal to family, always wanting to feed you, talk to you, etc. I think it also helped that I gave people copies of the photographs I took of them. In almost any Roma home you'll find family photos everywhere and I think they appreciated this gesture. Now I'm often asked to photograph weddings and funerals in the Romani community…

The Platinum Series

The Platinum Series of fine books represent the best we at 21ST have to offer. The hand-coated platinum print is esteemed as one of the most sumptuous and expressive forms of photographic imaging. Platinum prints provide the most expanded tonal scale of all graphic arts. They radiate a gentle warmth, detail even in the richest shadows, delicate whites, and an almost three-dimensional image depth. Since they require considerably more effort and the use of expensive precious metals, platinum images tend to be rare and unique. They stand today as one of the most ethereal and graceful forms of photographic expression, and a preferred medium of the masters.

Editions in the Platinum Series of fine books can often take two to three years to complete. This timeline begins with the initial proposal to the artists and writers, followed by decisions on integrated bindings and handmade papers, laborious letterpress type-setting and printing, all leading up to the final assembly of each individual book. The end results are books that continue to win universal acclaim from collectors, critics and museum professionals from around the world. It is not uncommon for titles in the Platinum Series to sell out before they are even delivered to our collectors or for the value of these books to more than double in the course of a single year.

It is the goal of the Platinum Series to bring the finest visions and voices together between the covers of the world’s most refined, handcrafted books.

Вспоминаю вчерашнее открытие в «Русской галерее», куда экспозицию из университета удалось перенести довольно адекватно (и даже услышал, что смотрится лучше). Зрители и слушатели были очень благодарные и отзывчивые. В этом смысле открытие было просто замечательным. Снимки какие-то выложу на профильную ветку.

Думаю, что все же идеальный вариант — тщательная и продуманная работа для хорошо понимаемого зрителя и с доминантой его ожиданий. Тем более, когда видишь вот такие примеры:

Собственно, все это по поводу того, что параллельно наблюдаю курс у искусствоведов «Музеи и галереи», где невыносимотрудовыносливая финская девушка в рамках жесткого планирования и, как кажется, совершенно ефрейторской муштры, устраивает в захваченной 128-ой аудитории выставочное пространство со специальным же обрудованием. Которым можно будет воспользоваться.

Такая вот тихая радость.

Это все в той же галерее…

Martin Schoeller, по поводу которого был скорее технический разговор на дистанционном курсе. Автор, тем не менее, заслуживает пристального внимания, такого же примерно, как и его подход к съемке:

Facial Texts: Mostly Legible, Riveting All By Nico Machida

Informed by early exposure to both the populist eye of Annie Leibovitz and the formal austerity of Bernd and Hilla Becher, Martin Schoeller’s photographic portraits fill the rooms of Ace Gallery Beverly Hills with a tone of accessible gravity. Schoeller’s subjects are mostly familiar—well-known actors, politicians, musicians—and every so often unrecognizable; but all are presented via an unflinching close-up that at once decontextualizes and sharpens its contents. As a result each C-print proves a compelling visual text in its own right, an opportunity to precisely examine the complexities and contradictions of faces. But when hung in a large group, as they are now at Ace Gallery Beverly Hills, Schoeller’s photographs take on a haunting prosthetic agency, as if gazing back at the viewer from so many points.Their sustained intensity is at once potent and uncanny, especially in the Gallery’s vast central space, where the iconic Jack Nicholson (2002) joins the disfigured anonymity of Joseph Mosner (2004) in a panopticonic chorus of fixed, searching eyes. Here, as everywhere in the show, one crisp, frank, monumental image is arrayed after another, cohered around a logic of rigorous seriality, a potent spareness. One almost forgets that many of these are famous faces, as it becomes increasingly clear that Schoeller’s deft, assured representational style is very much this show’s point.
