Unique piece | | | | | | | | 17 Jun – 29 Jul 2023 | | | | Opening reception: Sat 17 Jun 17:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Ravestijn Gallery is delighted to present "The Keys to the Factory", a solo exhibition combining works from three overlapping projects by French visual artist Jean-Vincent Simonet (b. 1991).
The featured bodies of work each take cues from the artist's personal history; his family owns a printing factory near Lyon, passed down from generation to generation. Over the course of a childhood spent on site, Simonet became accustomed to the familiar choreography of the factory's fluctuating output; used principally for the production of 'poor materials', such as commercial flyers or product labels. In a youth steeped in printed matter, Simonet could not help but absorb the influences of the factory's various graphic and visual codes.
For his most recent creative ventures, Simonet returns to the factory 'as it sleeps' – by night or during holiday periods – honing in on overlooked details, observing the changes that have occurred through time, and reimagining the site as an experimental artistic laboratory. With the factory as both subject and staging post for Simonet's artistic explorations, his work marks an attempt to renegotiate his complex relationship with the family business. Mirroring the sliding scale of image typographies that emerge from production lines, the projects Simonet develops here both zoom in and pan out; reflecting the experience of being within the factory, his results occasionally evoke the heady fumes of ink and industry. | | |

Dashti’s family was one of them. “ This conflict had a strong symbolic influence on the emotional existence of my generation ,” the photographer and filmmaker explains. In her Today’s Life and War series, she captures moments that reference the duality of life going on despite the ravages of war. “ In a fictionalised battlefield, I show a couple living their everyday life. The man and woman embody the power of perseverance, determination and surviva l.” Surreal and almost farcical scenes are portrayed in this series in which we find the couple at the wheel of a car in the middle of a wasteland with a tank in the background or, more dramatically, reading a newspaper in front of a bomb shelter.
This photographic series, which dates back to 2008, brought Gohar Dashti international fame and has been exhibited by various museums in Europe and the United States. Since this timeless work, which retains its evocative power 15 years on, her approach has evolved along with her style, which is both aesthetic and documentary, her eye constantly seeking new perspectives. This is evident in the other works on show at La Gacilly, testifying to our relationship with our environment. She explains: “ People are ephemeral but nature is constant: it will still be there long after we are g… | | |

PAUL GETTY MUSEUM - NOW AVAILABLE | | | | | | | | | | | | | Elegant, charming, and stunningly beautiful, Rodney Smith’s fashion photography is a delightful revelation.
Mystery and manners, romance and fun—the sophisticated compositions and stylish characters in the extraordinary pictures of fashion photographer Rodney Smith (1947–2016) exist in a timeless world of his imagination. Born in New York City, Smith started out as a photo-essayist, turned to portrait photography, and found his niche, and greatest success, in fashion photography. Inspired by W. Eugene Smith, taught by Walker Evans, and devoted to the techniques of Ansel Adams, Smith was driven by the dual ideals of technical mastery and pure beauty.

| | Ursula Schulz-Dornburg
'Memoryscapes, St Petersburg, Russia', 2000
Photograph; Diasecâ
148 x 208 cm
© Ursula Schulz-Dornburg | | | | | | | | ... until 1 July 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Memoryscapes is a solo exhibition by the German artist Ursula Schulz-Dornburg, realised in collaboration with Lucy Rogers.
In 2012, Ursula Schulz-Dornburg travelled to north-eastern Kazakhstan to photograph the remains of the Soviet Union's largest nuclear weapons programme. Located in a vast area south-west of the city of Kurchatov, Opytnoe Pole was once a top-secret open-air laboratory, used to measure and record the devastating effects of nuclear weapons. Taken almost twenty years after the closure of the facility, Schulz-Dornburg's photographs portray a desolate landscape, devoid of life and still suffering the effects of radiation. The area was looted after its closure in 1991 – an act which inadvertently dispersed radioactive material across the continent – and later subject to an intensive clean-up operation by the Kazakh, Russian and US authorities. It is a landscape still laden with the artefacts of an architecture built to be destroyed.
Born in Berlin in 1938, Schulz-Dornburg grew up in the aftermath of the Second World War – in a divided Germany and an era defined by new borders in Europe and elsewhere. Since the 1970s, she has sought out places of transit and borderlands, locations geographically and politically caught up in a state of in-between, where multiple layers of history intersect, coexist and collide. Reflecting the lands in which she has travelled, her archive reveals a constellation which extends beyond the scope of individual images – an entanglement of narratives which overlap in time and space. Exhibitions and publications become a method for thinking through the archive, bringing together new and familiar works into new combinations and sequences. | | |

| | | RUBY RUMIÉ. Us, 172 Years Later, 2022. Images of works. | | | | | | | | ... until 16 July 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | "As an artist, my work always involves people, with them and for them,I create unusual narratives around daily situations to reveal new insights to what we have become overly accustomed to seeing."
Ruby Rumié’s fourth solo exhibition at the Nohra Haime Gallery, "Nosotros 172 años después," consists of a series of 100 photographs referencing the Colombian Caribbean: its people, their diversity and its food.
"Colombia is considered a country of many regions each with its own identity and characteristics. The Colombian Caribbean is no stranger to this. I started this project from the perspective of a Colombian woman, with a desire to question, as we are now living through a very tangible social fragmentation of our identity. During this questioning process of our history. I found and researched the collection of images of The Chorographic Commission and a series of academic texts from the 19th century. This allowed me to transfer this inquisitiveness to the nearest context that I am also familiar with, which is the Caribbean."
From this encounter and confrontation with these documents, "Nosotros 172 años después," Rumié invites us to reflect through these photographic portraitures on the lack of visual representations of the historical discourses that have defined the identity of the Colombian Caribbean from the New Granada to the present. "I chose food as a vehicle to create new narratives that celebrate the cultural diversity of this territory.
"The project puts together one hundred people from the Caribbean region whose unique characteristics share the passion and commitment for their trade, and express in a special way their taste and … | | |

| | LAURA STEVENS
Act One (2023)
Archival pigment print 50x65 cm |
| | | | | | | | ... until 30 June 2023 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Galerie Miranda is delighted to present the second solo exhibition by artist Laura Stevens, entitled Tu oublieras aussi (You will also forget).
One of France’s most solicited portrait photographers, in her personal projects Stevens explores a resolutely feminine and contemporary point of view of the private sphere, questioning notions of desire, the passing of time, solitude and loss, the connection between the artist and her subject. For her first exhibition at Galerie Miranda, Corps d'hommes (2020), Stevens presented her perspective on the male nude, photographed in the private space of her Paris apartment bedroom. For this second exhibition, she pursues her questioning of the intimate sphere but this time considers two bodies, lovers, and what binds them, asking herself the question of the memory of desire and how to represent it.
Until now, the history of erotic photography has largely been written by and for men (Araki, Newton, Molinier, Mapplethorpe…), for the most part with explicit and performative images within a dominant-dominated framework. Several women photographers have made a mark in this territory but in general with a transgressive or militant posture (Krull, Natalia L, Ionesco, Cahun) that doesn’t fundamentally offer an alternative to the status quo. Fortunately, the list is longer of landmark women artists in other fields of photography - documentary, conceptual and experimental.
Confronted by the weight of these historical signatures, Laura Stevens quietly follows her own path, one that is feminine, free and egalitarian. In the tradition of Anglo-Saxon women photographers of the private sphere, such as Jo Ann Callis, Nan Goldin, Lise Sarfati and Mona Kuhn, Laura Stevens proposes a… | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | REBELLIOUS AND DEEPLY ROOTED IMAGES OF HOPE FROM THE ORIENT!
A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY BETWEEN LIGHT AND SHADOW.
ORIENT! focuses on photographers from Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Three countries that all belong to the Persian cultural area. Three predominantly Muslim countries with Indo-European populations that remain subject to the laws of religion and obscurantism. Three countries that we know little about, although they have captured the hearts of all travellers like Marco Polo. Three countries whose photographers are the defenders of positive thinking and ambassadors of environmental awareness. Three countries that are home to a millennia-old civilisation, a unique artistic creativity and courageous authors who have chosen photography to define their place in society. Photographers from these countries have always chosen to break conventions in order to develop an innovative style and look at people and gods with a humanistic eye. Honour to whom honour is due: Abbas, Gohar Dashti and Hamed Noori, Ebrahim Noroozi, Maryam Firuzi, Hashem Shakeri, Paul Almasy, Véronique de Viguerie, Fatimah Hossaini, Shah Marai and Wakil Kohsar, Sarah Caron.
Since its inception, the festival has never wavered from its mission to show the beauty of nature as well
as to address the need to protect it. Through the prism of photography, we aim to highlight the challenges of a sustainable world without naivety. At the same time, the sometimes dramatic reality is never disregarded. All photographs are signs of our unshakeable belief in the future. The photographers at
our festival are determined to be witnesses and part of the effort to preserve our most beautiful common asset - planet Earth: Mélanie Wenger, Bernard Descamps, Gabriele Cecconi, Stephan Gladieu, Money Sharma, Reporters Without Borders, Brigitte Kössner-Skoff and Gerhard Skoff, Antonin Borgeaud, Jérôme Blin, Alisa Martynova, Maxime Taillez, Chloé Azzopardi.
This year, the bilateral photo project of the Morbihan schools in Brittany and Lower Austria is dedicated to the theme of openings. Whether in the literal or figurative sense, the concept of opening also encompasses communication and journeys to new places or people. Ultimately, it raises the question of the construction of our individual and collective identity and our relationship with others.
Photography undoubtedly remains the most incisive tool for changing public opinion and for preserving glimmers of humanity. The Austrian photographers Rudolf Koppitz and Horst Stasny also stand in this tradition. From Gregor Schörg, the festival will show the second part of his work on the wilderness area Dürrenstein-Lassingtal. The exhibition of Lower Austrian professional photographers and the exhibition of the winning photos of the world's largest photo competition, CEWE's "Our World is Beautiful", with almost 700,000 pictures from 170 countries, will round up the festival, as will the retrospective of 2021 in the pictures of the artist in residence Pascal Maitre. In addition, the Austrian photographer Cathrine Stukhard was commissioned to portray the World Heritage Site of Vichy and place it in the context of UNESCO's eleven "Great Spa Towns of Europe", which also include Baden near Vienna.
Under the guiding principle of Culture of Solidarity, the cooperation with the festival partners Garden Tulln, Celje in Slovenia and Month of Photography Bratislava will continue in 2023. | | |

Bienal’23 co-artistic directors Jayne Dyer and Virgílio Ferreira invited 70 artists and 14 guest curators in 14 locations in Porto, transforming them into dynamic creative spaces where visitors are invited to participate in artistic ‘Acts of Empathy’.
Bienal’23 explores our ability to feel, collaborate and drive change through artistic acts of connectivity, reparation, and healing via CONECTAR, EXPANDIR, SUSTENTAR, VIVIFICAR (Connect, Expand, Sustain, Vivify), four sections that intersect local and global perspectives.
While SUSTENTAR features creative laboratories in Portuguese urban centers that look into urban and regional sustainability issues, VIVIFICAR, through artistic residencies with communities, addresses one of the most pressing issues in low-density territories: the settlement of populations. Because these two sections demand concrete solutions and actions, EXPANDIR brings an experimental dimension by presenting academic and professional socio-ecological initiatives for emerging artists. CONECTAR fosters diverse cultural and artistic ecosystems through the interchange of exhibition projects, ideas, and transdisciplinary practices on a national and worldwide scale.
Bienal'23 features projects that are supported by deliberate artist engagement in community and environmental activities in order to foster reparative acts and empathy for the future. | | |
