Little Big Man Gallery proudly presents Ivar Wigan’s first show in the United States.
Scottish Photographer, Ivar Wigan, presents a series of images taken around the street culture associated with the urban music scene of the American South. Captured on the urban fringes of multiple cities—predominately from Miami, Atlanta and New Orleans—the images are a defiant celebration of a marginalized and often demonized culture, here raised to iconographic status and suffused with a sense of admiration and empathy.

This series consists of numerous found photographs of people and things that are in some way affected by the wind; from a candle in the breeze to a hovering plane, a yacht’s billowing sail to a young woman at the beach, her hair blown by the breeze. Images are selected from a vast array of sources that include defunct newspaper archives and abandoned family albums. While disparate in origin, together they form a prosaic yet poetic portrait. Pound’s interest in the idea of photographing something you can’t see extends to other works in this exhibition where he pairs photographs to capture the time between them.

‘Freshness’ has shifted from an organic state to an abstract, cultural sign. It’s become fluid and slippery: infusing feelings and atmosphere, products, architecture and design.
“Ever Fresh” reflects on this global currency of ‘freshness’ through installations, videos, objects and images. It will temporarily transform the gallery into a futuristic, commercial utopia—resembling those that surround us with plastic plants, sparkling surfaces and lively screens.
Exhibited artists are: Tully Arnot (AU), Kristin Cammermeyer (USA), Adham Faramawy (UK), Emily Parsons-Lord (AU), Marilyn Schneider (AU) and Kawita Vatanajyankur (THAI).

“Each to his own place of birth, but those who have the same one do not have the same image of it. This is how things always are with origins because nostalgia prevails over reality, inaccessible as it is. Which should bring us to question the nature of images, but where could we go if their matter was to fly up in smoke? And what disturbance would arise if the devices we use to fix encounters, love and landscape turned out to be mere confidence tricks?”

The exhibition From one territory another is fruit of a wish to enable a dialogue between the landscape photographs that are an outcome from two specific « commissions ».
The first one was initiated in 2009 by a regional authority, Le Grand Lyon, which had chosen four photographers from the gallery and given them a carte blanche in order to show it’s area, at the time composed of 57 municipalities. The second one was initiated in 2010 by four photographers, founders of the mission France(s) territories liquide (France(s) liquid territory). The project’s ambition is to offer an open and a multiple view on French landscape, inviting other photographers to join them. Among 43 participating artists, three are represented by the gallery.
The gallery have followed and accompanied the photographers during these two commissions which gave free rein to Arièle Bonzon, Serge Clément, Beatrix von Conta, Francois Deladerrière and Bernard Plossu, to express and confirm their singular point of view. May they all be thanked for that.

The work of the American photographer Stephen Shore (b. 1947, New York City) has shaped contemporary photography and inspired generations of photographers. Today Shore is famed both as a chronicler of the ordinary and as a pioneer of colour photography. He has never stopped exploring the boundaries of photography, and has selected subjects that were not seen as obviously photogenic. He has switched effortlessly from black and white to colour and then back to black and white, and has experimented with a wide variety of cameras and every possible format. This exhibition covers the period 1960–2013 and shows important turning points in his career.

Stephen Bulger Gallery is pleased to present “Survey”, the gallery’s first solo exhibition of work by American photographer Joel Meyerowitz.
Meyerowitz, born in 1938 in New York City, began taking photographs in 1962. Although he has always seen himself as a street photographer in the tradition of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank, he transformed the genre with his pioneering use of colour. As an early advocate of colour photography in the mid 1960’s, Meyerowitz was instrumental in changing the attitude toward the use of colour photography from one of resistance to nearly universal acceptance.
This exhibition displays a selection of key black and white images from early works that captured the attention of influential curators. Also included are early colour works from Europe in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, which illustrate his mastery of composing with colour as well as form.

Bruce Silverstein Gallery is pleased to present Songs and the Sky, an exhibition of art and music.
Artworks by Lisette Model, Barbara Morgan, Aaron Siskind, Frederick Sommer, and Alfred Stieglitz will be paired with musical compositions by Ernest Bloch, John Cage, Arnold Schoenberg, Henry Cowell, and Christopher Washburne. Historically and conceptually relevant musical compositions were chosen to provoke, compliment, enhance, and challenge a reading of the visual artworks. Music served as literal or ideological inspiration for these artists, who sought to create images with the equivalent potential to communicate or translate abstract concepts directly…

JOAKIM ESKILDSEN: AMERICAN REALITIES

Galerie Polka presents American Realities by Danish photographer Joakim Eskildsen (born in 1971 in Copenhagen).
“One in every six Americans lived below the official U.S. poverty line when Kira Pollack, Director of Photography at TIME Magazine, commissioned me to capture the growing crisis. During thirty-six days spread over seven months in 2011, and mostly accompanied by reporter Natasha del Toro, I traveled through New York, California, Louisiana, South Dakota and Georgia, visiting places that according to census data have the highest poverty rate.
The approximately 50 million poor Americans are a heterogeneous population from very varying backgrounds. Some are newly poor, some are immigrants who have come from humble conditions, dreaming of the American possibilities. Of course, U.S. poverty differs from poverty in developing countries. People living below the poverty line can have physical goods, even work but they are mired in debt, many homes are in foreclosure, and most often, being poor also implies having to resort to the cheapest, most unhealthy and risky lifestyle. Any unexpected occurrence may jeopardize the fragile system and find people living on the streets.
(…) The myth of the American Dream is very strong in the U.S., and it seems people are disillusioned with the fact that it is so difficult to get by today. They said there is no American Dream anymore. This, they said, was the American Reality.”

Pace/MacGill Gallery is pleased to present Fazal Sheikh: Independence | Nakba. The featured works comprise the third project in the artist’s multi-volume set of photographs, The Erasure Trilogy, which explores the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The exhibition is part of an international presentation of Fazal Sheikh’s work across six venues: the Brooklyn Museum, New York; the Slought Foundation, Philadelphia; Storefront for Art and Architecture, New York; the Al-Ma’mal Center for Contemporary Art, East Jerusalem; and the Khalil Sakakini Cultural Center, Ramallah.
Since his first visit to Israel and the West Bank at the invitation of Frédéric Brenner for the This Place initiative in late 2010, Sheikh has addressed the legacies of the Arab-Israeli War of 1948 in a series of photographic projects, collectively called The Erasure Trilogy, which seek to render visible the enduring effects of this pivotal historical event. Independence | Nakba is the trilogy’s ultimate body of work, presenting 65 diptychs – one for each year between 1948 and 2013 – that juxtapose black-and-white portraits of individuals of gradually increasing age from both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

John Waters describes the exhibition as “a celebration of the low-tech concept of ‘remodeling’. These twelve artists’ humble but surprisingly imperious paintings, sculptures, photographs and drawings will hopefully make any serious property owner want to throw caution to the wind, pack up their living space, and start over.”

galerie michèle chomette is pleased to present “Pièces Jointes / Attached Pieces”, a solo exhibition by French photographer and writer Arnaud Claass (born in Paris, 1949).
“I take photographs in order to apprehend the irregularities of daily life, and the resonances they create in us. My preferred subjects are the distinctive and the unexpected. The way I practise the act of recording – immediate or premeditated – is as literal as possible. The idea is that my photographs should be approachable.” …

Exhibition from Mar 31 to Apr 30, 2016 at David Zwirner, Paris Fair Exhibitor
533 West 19th Street, 10011 New York
www.davidzwirner.com
David Zwirner is pleased to present press++, a new series of works by Thomas Ruff.
Working in distinct series since the late 1970s, Ruff has approached different genres of photography, including portraiture, architecture, astronomy, the nude, surveillance footage, reportage, and photograms. Using a wide range of technological approaches, and often pushing the limits of photographic representation in the process, he has reinvented historical conventions and expectations of the medium.
Shown here for the first time, press++ features large-scale photographs of archival media clippings from American newspapers that relate to the theme of space exploration. Ruff scanned the front and back of the original documents, which he has been collecting over several years, and combined the two sides in Adobe Photoshop. Interested equally in the subject matter (and any touch-ups) on the front of the paper and the words, stamps, signatures, and smudges on the back, he thus created seamless montages of image and text, in the process compromising the integrity of the former as well as adding relevant context.
