| Gregor Sailer Stokksnesi Radar Site I, NATO Icelandic Air Defense System, Iceland, 2021 © Gregor Sailer | | | | ... until 2 April 2023 | | Artist Talk with Gregor Sailer and Prof. Dr. Peter Schweitzer: Thu Mar 30, 2023 7:00pm »Infrastructure, Remoteness and People« The talk will be in German. We ask for advance registration at: [email protected] | | | | | | | | Gregor Sailer (b. 1980 in Austria), known for his complex, long-term projects, spent the past five years focusing extensively on the Arctic. He took analogue photographs in Canada, Norway, Greenland, and Iceland, but also in Great Britain, working in temperatures as low as -55 °C. A large part of the photographs was even taken in restricted areas, to which he was finally granted access after months of organization and approval procedures, some of which lasted for years. Sailer’s new series of works, The Polar Silk Road, takes up climatic changes in the Arctic regions, how these are exploited economically, as well as the territorial aspirations of bordering countries. First coined by China, the term Polar Silk Road alludes to the myth of the Silk Road. The opening of a new North Pole trade route would have massive economic advantages for any great power that succeeds in imposing its agenda there. Such geopolitical tensions dictate the expansion of military structures and research stations with a variety of different research focuses including climate change, the Aurora Borealis, or space climate. However, global warming is and remains the main driver behind all current North Pole developments: ice is retreating, borders, including those previously established by nature for mankind, are shifting, additional shipping routes such as the Polar Silk Road are emerging, and new sources of raw materials are becoming accessible. As politically explosive as this topic may be, Sailer sees himself first and foremost as a photographer and artist who focuses on narrative and on image aesthetics and composition. The muted colors and pared-down nature of his images convey the ostensible calm of an icy world—one that a storm has brewi… | |

| Cai Dongdong Nicht getroffen, 2016 Silbergelatinprint, Pfeil | | | | ... until 2 April 2023 | | On the occasion of the European Month of Photography 2023 Finissage: Sunday, 2 April, 4pm | | | | | | | | An arrow pierces a photograph on which a target is depicted - but it does not hit the target, instead it is stuck in the pictorial space between the heads of two men who are also depicted. Looking at the works of Cai Dongdong, one could often think, due to their simple construction, to be quickly finished with the interpretation. But then doubts arise and a complexity unfolds that questions already assumed certainties. Born in 1978, the Chinese artist learned the photographic craft in the Chinese People's Liberation Army. There, as an administrative soldier, he was entrusted with the tasks of a portrait photographer. This rather unusual career for an artist explains many of his later artistic themes, in which analogies constructed by him between the act of photography and the exercise of violence and power repeatedly play a role. But the question of reality in pictures, which is central to his interest, may also be rooted in his experiences from this period with propaganda images. Finally, his work with an archive of photographic images also seems to grow out of his previous tasks as a military photographer. Cai Dongdong now owns his own photographic archive of several hundred thousand prints and negatives, obsessively collected, mostly amateur shots from all parts of China. Around 2014, Cai Dongdong began to consider images from his photo archive, but also photos he had taken himself, as material and to use them sculpturally by abrading them, bending them, cutting into them, and then increasingly combining them with objects such as photo lenses or for example an arrow. In some of these constructions, it is the almost naïve humor that paves the way for the viewer's contemplation of the work of art. Often, however, one needs a bit mor… | |

| Gohar Dashti, Today's Life and War #4, 2008 Archival Pigment Print 70 x 105 cm (27.5 x 41.3 in) | | | | Gohar Dashti » Shadi Ghadirian » Tahmineh Monzavi » | | ... until 22 April 2023 | | | | | | | | Robert Klein Galleryis pleased to present "Today’s Life & War", an exhibition of works by contemporary photographers Gohar Dashti, Shadi Ghadirian, and Tahmineh Monzavi. Presenting a selection of important photographs over the last twenty years of their careers, these images illustrate the legacy and remnants of war as it continues to impact society and culture - regardless of religion, politics, or geography. All born and educated in Iran, the three female photographers work transcends the lens and context of the Middle East. Their works are not merely an investigation of Iran or islamic culture and identity, but are a reflection of the physical and mental turmoil and destruction that war invariably sears upon its victims. Several of the works on view were first shown in the US in the groundbreaking exhibition "She Who Tells A Story" at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. As a testament to their artistic importance and impact, these works still speak to audiences today beyond borders. As the title of Tahmineh Monzavi’s series "Past Continues" implies, the devastation of war repeats itself, and so does the human tragedy and destruction. | |

| DAVE HEATH (1931-2016) Washington Square, 1959 © Dave Heath / courtesy Stephen Bulger Gallery & Howard Greenberg Gallery | | Dave Heath » Alone, together | | ... until 6 May 2023 | | | | | | | | For its spring 2023 programme, Galerie Miranda is delighted to present an exhibition of vintage photographs by Dave Heath (1931-2016, US/Canada), the first European gallery exhibition of Dave Heath's work. Entitled Alone, together, the exhibition at Galerie Miranda presents emblematic works that express Heath's central themes of loneliness and alienation in modern society. Influenced by W. Eugene Smith, in whose workshops he participated, as well as the photographers of the Chicago School including Aaron Siskind and Harry Callahan, Dave Heath worked mainly on the streets while living in Philadelphia, Chicago and New York, seeking to capture the fractures and growing unease in booming American post-war society, prior to the rise of the civil rights movement and opposition to the Vietnam War. His seminal publication A Dialogue with Solitude was conceived in 1961 and finally published in 1965 after difficulty in finding a publisher, then reprinted in 2000 with a preface by Robert Frank. The book stunned with its emotional potency, thanks to Heath's sensitive translation of an intimate experience of the world, something lived and felt: tension in the city streets, between the constrained proximity of bodies and the isolation of individuals in the crowd, who fill his frame with their 'absent presence'. Heath photographed strangers of all class and generation; riding the train, watching other passers by or just staring pensively into the distance, lost in thought. In his own words, Heath endeavoured to convey not a sense of futility and despair, but an acceptance of life's tragic aspects. He also captured glimmers of joy and tenderness that intersect the series like brilliant rays of sunshine. The selection at Galerie M… | |

| Barbara Iweins. Katalog series. Courtesy of the artist. | | Barbara Iweins » Katalog | | ... until 22 April 2023 | | | | | | | | From 8 March to 14 May 2023, L'Appartement – Espace Images Vevey presents its sixth session of exhibitions: "Katalog by Barbara Iweins". Images Vevey is handing Barbara Iweins the keys to L’Appartement to present her photographic and neurotic project presenting the 12,795 photos of the 12,795 objects of her house. After her nerve-wracking eleventh move and her divorce, Barbara embarked on a unique introspective project, photographing the 12,795 objects in her house, one by one, from the kitchen to the bathroom, via the living room, her three children’s bedrooms, and the basement. She then catalogued these objects by colour, material, and frequency of use. Her inventory echoes Jacques Prévert’s poem with a fascinating mirror of our consumer society and includes detailed statistics such as “37% of my children’s Playmobil figurines are bald”. L’Appartement – Espace Images Vevey represents Barbara’s twelfth move, this time into an idealised house which, through the rooms, objects, and the artist’s confessions, reveals an intimate and universal self-portrait of a 21st-century mother. A neurotic collector, as she defines herself, Barbara Iweins is a Belgian photographer who began her artistic career in Amsterdam. She is fascinated by the vulnerability of humans and has never stopped pushing the limits of intimacy. For her series Au coin de ma rue (2010), she entered little by little into the private lives of strangers. In 7AM/7PM (2013), she invited these same strangers to sleep at her home, to capture the innocence and fragility as they awoke. On her return to Brussels, she used her own private life for the first time for a case study: Katalog. | |
