Levi van Veluw

Levi Van Veluw is a young artist from Norway. A recent graduate of the Artez Art School he has managed to notch up an impressive portfolio of commisioned work in a very short period of time. With work showcased across Europe and several showings in the States, plus several awards under his belt including the IPA Photographer of the Year award Levi is definitely going places. We had a chat with the artist about his latest Landscape exhibition at the Ronmandos gallery in Amsterdam.

Hello Levi, can you tell us a bit about yourself?

Well my name is Levi Van Veluw and I was born in the Netherlands in a small town named Hoevelaken, 19-04-85. I graduated In 2007. I graduated cum laude from Artez’ School of Arts. I started out mainly wanting to be a painter but during my time studying I started experimenting with other mediums such as video art and photography.

http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Levi-van-Veluw/41274

Levi van Veluw | Official website | Work



Levi van Veluw´s photo series are self-portraits, drawn and photographed by himself: a one-man-process. His works constitute elemental transfers; modifying the face as object; combining it with other stylistic elements to create a third visual object of great visual impact. The work you see therefore is not a portrait, but an information-rich image of colour, form, texture, and content. The image contains the history of a short creative process, with the artist shifting between the entities of subject and object.

'Landscapes'. This 4-piece series reinterprets the traditional landscape painting, removing plots of grass, clusters of trees, babbling brooks from their intimate 2 dimensional formats and transposing them onto the 3 dimensional contours of his own face. Thus a fresh twist is given to the obsession inherent in the romantic landscape of recreating the world and simultaneously being part of it. The romantic landscape and self-portrait genres are combined as a means of re-examination.

Besides the four landscapes, Levi van Veluw will also present a new video piece, landscape installation and works from two other series of photographs.

Since having graduated from the Artez Art School in Arnhem the Netherlands, Levi van Veluw has enjoyed a remarkable amount of success in a short period of time, with his work being showcased in several different locations across Europe and the States, earning him a number of prestigious awards that include the Photographer of the Year Award at the IPA International Photo Awards in the USA.

The Atlantic should have Googled Jill Greenberg before hiring her





I don’t feel sorry for The Atlantic magazine.

They are quite upset after discovering that Jill Greenberg, the left-wing photographer they hired to take photos of John McCain, is a deranged lunatic who manipulated pictures of the candidate to put him in a bad light — and then posted hateful photoshops of the images on her personal website and gloated about it to the Photo District News website…

http://michellemalkin.com/2008/09/14/th ... iring-her/

PDNPulse:

How Jill Greenberg Really Feels About John McCain

When The Atlantic called Jill Greenberg, a committed Democrat, to shoot a portrait of John McCain for its October cover, she rubbed her hands with glee.

She delivered the image the magazine asked for—a shot that makes the Republican presidential nominee look heroic. Greenberg is well known for her highly retouched images of bears and crying babies. But she didn’t bother to do much retouching on her McCain images. “I left his eyes red and his skin looking bad,” she says.

На Luminous-Lint — новая выставка — целый город лиц в 1984-м и двадцать лет спустя:

Peter Feldstein
The Oxford Project

…In 1984, Peter Feldstein set out to photograph every resident of his town, Oxford, Iowa (pop. 676). Twenty years later, he did it again. But this time those same residents did more than pose. With extraordinary honesty, they shared their memories, fantasies, failures, secrets and fears with writer Stephen G. Bloom. The result is a riveting collection of personal stories and portraits that tell much more than the tale of one small Midwestern town. Because beneath Oxford’s everyday surface, lives a complex and wondrous community that embodies the American spirit.

In the narrative tradition of Studs Terkel’s Working and the photographic spirit of Mike Disfarmer’s Heber Springs series, The Oxford Project is equal parts art, American history, cultural anthropology, and human narrative — at once personal and universal, surprising and predictable, simple and profound.

The Oxford Project is a national portrait of overlooked triumphs and travails. In the faces and voices of these strangers, we grow to understand ourselves better. They remind us of who we dreamed we would become, and who we turned out to be.

—From the Introduction by Stephen G. Bloom

Лучше все же обратиться к самому проекту в Сети:

The Oxford Project

In the spring and summer of 1984, Peter Feldstein used a red marker to make a sign announcing that he wanted to take free portraits of everyone in Oxford, Iowa (pop. 673).

Like a kid at a lemonade stand, Peter set up shop on Augusta Street, Oxford's main street.

That first day, nobody came by. In the next few days, Peter's only customers were students on their way from school.

On Memorial Day, Peter photographed Al Sheets, a member of the American Legion, and when Al went to the Legion hall, he brought back 75 Legionnaires.

The project took off from there. When Peter was finished, he had photographed 670 Oxford residents.

Peter didn't pose anyone. Nobody did anything out of the ordinary, like jumping or doing handstands — except Clarence Schropp, who wore his wife's wig, and Calvin Colony, who brought his 300-pound pet lion.

Twenty-one years later, Peter set up his camera again. Some of the original residents had died and some had moved away, but a surprising number still lived in Oxford.

It was at about that time when Peter asked writer Stephen G. Bloom to join him. Stephen's instructions to Oxford residents were simple: Tell the truth.

Some chose to talk about religion. Others spoke about relationships gone bad. More than a few talked about spouses' infidelities. Several broke down in tears. A few waxed about first girlfriends and boyfriends.

Some of their words came out slowly, others came out in jags and torrents. The language of more than several was pure poetry. Stephen and Peter came to realize that the project had a purpose. They had become confessors to an undiscovered America.

Peter Feldstein is an artist from Oxford, Iowa. He recently retired from his long-time position of Professor of Art at the University of Iowa where he taught photography and digital imaging.

Peter creates black & white and color inkjet prints with a technique called "cliche-verre," which involves etching or painting directly on a sheet of clear film which is then scanned and printed. The end result (dramatic black and white and color images), with interesting line, texture and pattern has the effect of a drawing or drypoint print.

Notation

An exhibition by the Akademie der Künste, Berlin, and the ZKM | Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie Karlsruhe

"Notation" focuses on the multifaceted range of artistic processes that exists between the concept and the work. Works from all realms of art and dating from 1900 to today are placed in relation to one another: sign systems to do with literature, music, painting, choreography, architecture, photography, film and media art. Approximately 450 artistic approaches by more than 100 artists have been brought together from international collections, the ZKM | Karlsruhe and the archives of the Akademie der Künste.

By linking scientific calculation and artistic form, 20th century artists were in a position to render new realities visible. Modernism rediscovered the spiritual side of existence, immaterial phenomena, the ephemeral - morphic resonances, serial structures and sound waves - as a field of research for the arts. Thus the relationship between concept, notation, repetition and work was radically redefined; resulting in the draft processes themselves becoming autonomous artworks. These are now the main focus of the exhibition curated by the image-theorist Hubertus von Amelunxen, the artist Dieter Appelt and the media artist Peter Weibel. The exhibition was developed in collaboration with Angela Lammert from the Akademie der Künste, and Bernhard Serexhe from the ZKM | Karlsruhe.

LUMIERE is a series of photographs inspired by both the freedom of the ocean and the storming of the Bastille. The symbol of the birth of the modern French nation, Muller reinterprets the iconic, historical event as his personal uprising as an artist. About Muller's exhibition, gallery owner Guy Hepner said, "Lumiere represents further demonstration of the experimental and dynamic working methods of Michael Muller. Photography is transcended; the work represents a thought provoking juxtaposition to contemporary photography"…

FASHION – 9 decades of fashion photography
CAMERA WORK
D. Berlin, 20 Sep-15 Nov 2008

Peter Lindbergh
The Wild Ones
Brooklyn, New York, 1991

Gallery Camera Work in Berlin presents from September 20th until November 15th an exhibition of fashion photography of the 20th and 21st centuries. This group exhibition provides a representative overview of the development of fashion photography from its beginnings in the 1920s to the present time. With over 250 works of a total of 65 photographers - many of which are vintages —- one can trace the different trends of fashion photography.

The spectrum of the photographs on display ranges from the sometimes classic compositions of an Edward Steichen to the experimental photographs of Man Ray, from the sexual revolution to the resulting emancipation of women as shown, for example, by Helmut Newton, from the cool elegance of the 1990s — influenced by Peter Lindbergh — to the highly imaginative works of a Tim Walker. Only a handful of exemplary trends of the comprehensive exhibition have here been mentioned. Photography and painting hybrids by Michelangelo Di Battista and Tina Berning complete the exhibition by successfully visualizing the strong orientation of fashion photography towards the fine arts.

Even though Adolphe Braun can already be seen as a fashion photographer avant-garde in the mid-19th century, photographers on display in the exhibition such as Adolf Baron de Meyer, Edward Steichen, and George Hoyningen-Huene are more commonly thought to be the founding fathers of fashion photography. The creation of "Condé Nast Publications" in 1909 along with its later purchase of "Vogue" (published for the first time in 1892) particularly helped fashion attain its triumphant worldwide success through photography. In works by Horst P. Horst and Irving Penn it is already noticeable that clothing is successively stripped from its previously central focus in fashion photography. Indeed, instead of fashion, figuration and increasingly expensive arrangements as well as interpretation moved to the foreground.

Rankin — Visually hungry

С 22 марта по 11 мая 2008 года
в галерее «Победа» на Винзаводе

«Он потрясающе талантлив, изящно провокативен, приятно классичен, чарующе парадоксален, тонко остроумен, очень разнообразен и заслуженно знаменит. Его гений безграничен. Фотограф, издатель, режиссер John Rankin Waddell, известный просто как Rankin, — икона современной фотографии. Все его модели — звезды. В их числе — королева Елизавета II, Тони Блэр, Роллинг Стоунз, U2, Арнольд Шварценегер, Кирстен Данст и все, кого можно считать политическими, музыкальными или fashion звездами.

Ранкин сам создал десятки звезд. В 1991 году в партнерстве с Jefferson Hack он основал журнал Dazed&Confused. Первый номер был раскладным черно-белым постером, но очень скоро журнал превратился в библию для современного искусства, моды, фотографии и музыки. Энергия и талант Ранкина и чутье на молодые таланты Хэка дали возможность заявить о себе таким культовым сегодня фигурам, как Damien Hirst, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Radiohead, Bjork, Alexander McQueen. Кроме Dazed&Confused в числе проектов Ранкина — цифровое телевидение Dazed&Confused, Аnother Magazine, журнал о моде Rank, рекламные видеоролики для Guinness, Rimmel, H&M, а также полнометражный фильм "The Lives of the Saints" о том, что наши желания опасны, а последствия их исполнения непредсказуемы.

…

Visually Hungry - проект, представляющий своего рода срез творчества Ранкина. Он составлен из многих серий — "Me, me, me" (автопортеры за 20 лет, напоминающие иногда эксперименты Мэтью Барни), "Palaroids", "Tuulitastic" (снимки музы Ранкина — модели Tuuli), "Eyescapes" (фото гигантских зрачков), "Erotica", "Snog" (погружение в природу поцелуя), "Sofa So Sexy" (сатира на современных фотографов), "Cats" (сексуальные девушки-кошки), "Рortraits", "Fashion". Творческая территория Ранкина, даже в фэшн съемке, где живая модель, как правило, отходит на второй план, — портрет…

Vanishing America

The most touching exhibition on the vestiges of a lost way of life

Michael Eastman has made the ultimate roadtrip, crisscrossing the nation dozens of times to capture moviehouses, juke joints, barbershops, murals before they disappear.

An amazing overview of great everyday American architecture and design offering a provocative portrait of the silent emptiness that has descended upon struggling small communities everywhere.

"Michael Eastman has captured here the hardcore essence of blue-smoked architectural loneliness better than any other new artist I've encountered.

... Remnants of the past, Eastman seems to tell us, can still be recovered in the most unlikely of places."

Pertti Kekarainen: Density
Tila Series

Essays by Christoph Schreier and Jan-Erik Lundstr�m.

This survey of Pertti Kekarainen's photography from 1996 to the present is organized by series, from Density to Tila. Kekarainen, a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki, is a key figure in the Helsinki School, and his goal is to represent invisible but persistent aspects of reality. He takes an unexpectedly old-fashioned direct route to a contemporary end, avoiding digital manipulation and using only mechanical capabilities of the camera to dot his images with colored spots like those you see after staring into a light. In the final image they appear as shadows and traces left not by the light but by the relationships of the people or objects near them, ghosts of ideas and conversations, akin to the ghosts in early spirit photography. Kekarainen has shown in Paris, Rome, Venice, Madrid and Tokyo, as well as all over Germany and northern Europe, where his work is widely held by museums.

In formal terms, Pertti Kekarainen's works are characterized by the multi-interpretative nature of space. He combines his photographs with local elements of colour that sometimes appear to conform to the space presented in the piece and are sometimes contrary to it. These features create tension and a slightly surreal atmosphere. The light in the photographs is beautiful and specific to these works. Here, Joubert's statement could be revered: "Without light there is no space".

In his 2007 exhibition at Stills Gallery Rectified Searches: Road, Chris, Fog, he directed our attention to the genetics of portrait and landscape imagery through reconfigured jpeg files retrieved from the internet using keyword searches…

Я вот, à propos, когда-то с подачи Саши Давыдчика времен «Гендерного фронта» собрал роман-дискрипцию интернетовскую на одну тему, но отложилось потом по всяким причинам, да. Александр Шульгин вообще в незапамятные времена «Картинки, найденные в Интернете» выставлял… Да…

Нет же, потянуло человека дальше и глубже…

Пишут:

In his latest body of work, naturalism08, he has deployed a baffling array of sharply lit convoluted forms set against deep black backgrounds, which at first glance could be read as organic specimens or digital constructions. Close examination reveals them to be reworked scans of crumpled newsprint & packaging - mediated, rather than generated, by computer.

Naturalism might be described as a cluster of literary and artistic conventions, which arose subsequently, and in response to Romanticism. Eschewing mythological or allegorical subject matter, Naturalism favoured a scientific attention to detail and the significance of the everyday. Photographic practice ably spans the Romantic/ Naturalistic divide, being equally able to establish facts and create fictions. The flat "unnatural" lighting, neutral backgrounds and fine detail of Fortescue's naturalism08 images evoke 19th century botanical illustrations or electron microscope studies of viruses. But at the same time the images work into the stylistic conventions of late 20th century science fiction cinema - the dark vacuum of interstellar space, and the suggestion of alien life forms. With Fortescue's introduced symmetry, the dot screen and rough texture of newsprint are transformed into an odd parody of observable nature.

Rectified Searches: Road, Chris, Fog:

…Chosen for obvious reasons, the keyword Chris arose from thinking about the Web as a kind of identity sink, a source of possible selves. The road is a familiar narrative genre, thanks to Baudelaire and Kerouac, representing an existential search for selfhood, self-realisation and transformation. The keyword fog was used after reading a comment Erwin Schroedinger made about the difference between an out of focus photograph and a photograph of fog. When juxtaposed together the three groups of images operate poetically to suggest a socially constructed subjectivity poised between the known and the unknown.
