#photography exhibition
When is a photograph more than a picture?
These stunning images are a preview of the first special exhibition at our @nmaahc, which explores the stories behind more than 150 photographs and related objects from their collection.
The images, by established and emerging photographers from the 19th century to the present, show a range of American experiences. They challenge you to look beyond the surface to consider their significance in history, their cultural meaning, and your own perspective.

I was recently invited by Lenscratch to create and jury an exhibition. I was extremely honored and excited. I came up with a call for entry and exhibition titled Seeing Is Believing. Here’s the call I wrote:
“Photography is perhaps the most pervasive part of our daily lives. It’s influence on our decisions, beliefs, and perception of the world is unavoidable. This has only been amplified by the constant increase in our interdependence in technology. We even regularly use photographs as a stand-in for our memories. Perhaps seeing is no longer believing, but rather photographing is believing.For this call, show us your most unbelievable and impossible images. Show us your photographic reflections on perception and/or belief. What work do you have that we really need to see to believe?“
I was really excited to see how people would interpret the call. Once all the entries came in, I had a blast going through them and choosing the final selection of photographs. Above I am sharing some of my favorite images from the show, and here is the response I wrote after jurying the exhibition:
“Image-making often has less to do with what we include in the frame, and more to do with what we don’t. Studio photography, for example, relies on an aggregate of scenery and lighting apparatuses we know are there, but cannot see. This often shapes the way we read photographs. If we aren’t lost in the scene presented, photographs invite us to infer what is beyond the immediately visible. The more questions an image leaves unanswered, the more I find myself enjoying it.I especially chose these two images for this very reason. In very different ways, they seem to do the same thing for me. I feel they leave me with more questions than answers. There seems to be just enough space surrounding this baptismal font to make it strangely opulent and yet uncomfortable. Who felt compelled to bring Reba out here, and why?I spent more time interrogating these images’ integrity than I did revelling in them. In my scrutiny, I was hoping to find some detail that would help me trust (or not) the images. Maybe photographing is believing, but only if you’re the one pressing the button. That would explain why we haven’t stopped photographing sunsets.“
A huge thanks to Aline Smithson at Lenscratch for the opportunity! I had such a great time with this. I really hope to do more curation and jurying in the future. Perhaps it’s time to get back to work on Localhost…

Flowers Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by South Korean photographer Boomoon, centred around a new series of photographs produced at Skogar Falls, Iceland.
“Skogar” brings together a selection of black and white photographs from a series of 300 exposures. Each taken from the same frontal viewpoint, they capture distinct variations of light and form within the arrested momentum of a singular waterfall.
Also on view will be selected works from the series Sansu, including the exceptionally large-scale photographic print Untitled #18134, Inje, spanning ten metres in length, which was first displayed in the Salon D’Honneur at Paris Photo 2015. Each of the photographs on show will be displayed for the first time in London.

Flowers Gallery is pleased to present Nadav Kander’s most recent project Dust, which goes on display in New York for the first time in April 2016. Rooted in an interest in the ‘aesthetics of destruction,’ Dust explores the vestiges of the Cold War through the radioactive ruins of secret cities on the border between Kazakhstan and Russia.
Priozersk (formally known as ‘Moscow 10’) and Kurchatov are closed cities, restricted military zones, concealed and not shown on maps until they were ‘discovered’ by Google Earth. Enlisted to the pursuits of science and war, the sites were utilized for the covert testing of atomic and long distance weapons. Falsely claimed as uninhabited, the cities, along with nearby testing site ‘The Polygon’ set the stage for one of the most cynical experiments ever undertaken. Scientists watched and silently documented the horrifying effects of radiation and pollution on the local population and livestock.

Taka Ishii Gallery is pleased to present “ANTICAMERA(OF THE EYE)”, a solo exhibition by Hanako Murakami. This will be her first solo exhibition with the gallery and feature new works inspired by autochromes, a color photograph process from the early days of the medium.
Many of Hanako Murakami’s previous works were also produced based on her in-depth research of historical media, such as alternative photographic techniques or letterpress printing. Each of these series of works were accompanied by a text written by Murakami and addressing anecdotes from the original days of mechanical reproduction technology and her own experiences. Her works thus produce situations in which truth and fiction and historical fact and contemporary hypothesis are knotted together. In “APPARITION (OF THE SUN),” for example, she reproduced images resulting from an Internet search for the word “sun” and reproduced them as daguerrotypes. By capturing images of the sun with its flares and sunspots, which did not exist in the mid-19th century, when the daguerrotype was introduced as the world’s first commercialized photographic technique, she created aberrant images in which past and present technologies intersect. The work is, on one hand, an attempt to send photographic images, which have become infinitely reproducible as digital data, back to its ancestral past. On the other, it simultaneously addresses the notion of veracity essential to photography and film to function as a magnetic field in which the beginning and end of a medium are looped in coexistence.

Danziger Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Liz Nielsen. This will be the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Its title “The Medium” refers both to the ever expanding reach and potential of the photographic medium as well as art’s power as a mystical intervening agency delivering spaces of transcendence.
Liz Nielsen’s work joins and adds to the historical tradition of the photogram – one of the medium’s earliest processes - but one which has enjoyed a renaissance in the worlds of contemporary art and color photography. Simply described, a photogram is an image created without a camera by placing objects or shining light directly onto photographic paper and developing the paper. Each picture is by nature unique - a record of the moment or event created by the artist.

Artist’s reception Thursday 7 April 2016, 6-8pm
NextLevel is pleased to announce John Chiara’s first solo exhibition with the gallery and for the first time in Europe.
San Francisco-based artist John Chiara pushes the boundaries of the photographic medium through his choice of process and the mastery of its possibilities. His approach is distinguished by its incredible physicality and recalls the early days of the medium when artists dealt with heavy, awkward equipment and endured long exposure and development times. Chiara’s giant cameras, which he designed and built himself, are transported to locations on a flatbed trailer to produce one-of-a-kind large-scale prints. The design of the cameras, which is much like daguerreotype box cameras, allows the artist to simultaneously shoot and perform his darkroom work while images are recorded directly onto oversized photosensitive paper (not film). This process, which Chiara first discovered as a student in 1999, invites anomalies in his final prints and adds to the mystery and lyricism of his pictures.

Hardhitta Gallery is pleased to present Poet of Radical Photography, a solo show by German photographer Miron Zownir. Famous for his images taken in Western metropoles such as Berlin, London, and New York, and in post Communist Eastern Europe, Zownir is regarded as one of the most radical contemporary photographers of the last 40 years.
Zownir’s photographs often depict social outcasts: drug addicts, the homeless, and prostitutes. It is said that Zownir continues where Weegee and Diane Arbus left off. His powerful black & white images draw attention to those who are often overlooked, shunned, or forgotten.

Keith de Lellis Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of postwar Italian landscape photography by Mario Giacomelli and his contemporaries: Valentino Bassanini, Gianni Berengo-Gardin, Ulisse Bezzi, Augusto Cantamessa, Tino Carretto, Romeo Casadei, Arturo Crescini, Ferruccio Ferroni, Eros Fiammetti, Guiseppe Goffis, Carlo Monari, Enzo Passaretti, Santo Piano, Ezio Quiresi, Pietro Todo, Piero Vistali, and Umberto Vittori.
With upbringings rooted in traditional values, the photographers of postwar Italy considered the landscape to be an integral part of their lives and photographic practice. For these photographers, the Italian landscape served as a symbol for life, religion, and their reverence for their homeland. Ranging from the representational to the abstract, their depictions of their surroundings share an inclination towards experimentation with composition, contrast, and repetition.

Lyons’s practice explores the fragility of friendship and adventure through performances documented by photography and film. He creates ingenious and mischievous devices which are presented – having fulfilled their one purpose – as relics of the event, together with the photographic evidence. The photographs, however, are not simply documentation of a sequence of anarchic events. They fix the moment between ’cause’ and ‘effect’ and are imbued with wit, melancholy and the physical humour of early silent cinema. In this process Lyons attempts to reconcile the enthusiasm of reckless youth with the pressures of adulthood; these are snap-shots of ‘Lost Boys’ putting outlandish ideas into practice and (just) getting away with it.

Galerie Edwynn Houk Zurich is pleased to present an exhibition of Nick Brandt’s photographs from the series “Across The Ravaged Land”. This occasion marks the artist’s first presentation at the gallery’s Zurich location and follows the well-received exhibition at Edwynn Houk Gallery New York of the artist’s most recent series “Inherit the Dust”.
With these large-scale sepia toned images Nick Brandt pays homage to the impressive animals native to Kenya’s expansive landscape. Working for weeks on location in the African savanna, Brandt studies his subjects through the lens of a medium format film camera, just as carefully and considered as one would construct a portrait in a studio setting. He spends days with each animal and waits for a moment of connection, the decisive moment, when everything moves into place and the subject’s individual character is captured in a perfectly composed scene. This approach is particularly evident in the large-scale portrait of one of Brant’s favorite subjects, Elephant on Bare Earth, Amboseli, on view in the exhibition.

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.

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…

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.”

In commemoration of the fortieth anniversary of Punk and the anthem Anarchy in the UK James Hyman Gallery presents a special exhibition of photographs of this seminal period of cultural history. Taking its title from a song by The Slits, Typical Girls, the exhibition focuses on photographs by two women who were intimates of the bands that they depicted: Caroline Coon, who managed The Clash, and Roberta Bayley, who was at the heart of New York’s CBGB club scene.

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.

He continues to produce various works overflowing with a penetrating degree of consciousness towards photography as a medium.

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.” …
