| Helmut Newton Condé Nast´s Traveler, Berlin 1987 © Helmut Newton Foundation | | Helmut Newton x Condé Nast Traveller | | 3 – 22 September 2024 | | | | | | | | Helmut Newton loved to travel, so it’s no surprise he collaborated with Condé Nast Traveler. His work with the magazine began in 1987 with the cover story "My Secret Berlin". This photo essay, accompanied by a lengthy text in which Newton reflects on his hometown, weaves together a blend of older Berlin photographs – like scenes from the legendary bohemian restaurant Exil in 1977 – and more recent views of places like a beer garden in Lübars, the Askanischer Hof hotel, and a nighttime glimpse of a brothel from a car window. As the subtitle suggests, Newton uncovers the "secret" and "sinful" sides of Berlin, themes he first explored in 1962 for Condé Nast’s Adam magazine, when he toured the city’s nightclubs and striptease bars, including Chez Nous. For Traveler, Newton also documented the quirky charm of old Berlin guesthouses and their owners, places he knew from his youth, along with the city’s distinctive eateries, like a chicken restaurant in Kreuzberg. An unexpected image in this series shows a blonde model, arms outstretched, standing with her back to the camera at Brandenburg Gate. The double-page spread is reminiscent of an earlier fashion photo Newton shot for German Vogue at the same location and also at night. However, this later image is, strictly speaking, a travel photo. At that time, the neoclassical Brandenburg Gate stood in East Berlin, behind the Wall, in front of the illuminated "death strip." Newton’s west-to-east perspective includes the western side of the Berlin Wall, where new graffiti frequently appeared, including the words "Unzählbares Deutschland" (uncountable Germany) seen here. This slogan referenced the 1987 population census in West Germany, a controversial event delayed by public opposition an… | |

| Horizon, 2016 © AdeY, Courtesy The Little Black Gallery | | AdeY » Uncensored | | 13th September - 30th November 2024 | | Special opening hours during Berlin Art Week: Sunday, 15 September 2024, 1 - 6 pm PUBLIC OPENING: Thursday, 12th September 2024, 7 - 9 PM In the presence of the artist ARTIST TALK: Saturday, 14th September 2024, 3 - 4 PM Please RSVP: [email protected] With AdeY and Brandei Estes, Director of CHAUSSEE 36 Photography and Veritas Center for Photography Language: English | | | | | | | | CHAUSSEE 36 Photography, in partnership with The Little Black Gallery, is thrilled to welcome AdeY for his first solo exhibition in Germany, entitled UNCENSORED, to coincide with Berlin Art Week. AdeY’s art lies at the intersection of photography and performance and depicts the naked body in playful formations, in minimalistic rooms and empty landscapes. With humour and tenderness, AdeY highlights our right to be different in terms of body type, gender, sexuality, religion, and skin colour. The work shows the human body in its most stripped-down, naked form, but strives to create non-sexualized and non-judgmental images based on the ideal of acceptance. Nobody really knows who AdeY is. The British-Swedish artist’s real name, age and place of residence are still unknown. AdeY left a career as a professional dancer, something evident in his photographs, which combine choreography, performance and photography. He has published a series of poetic photobooks and zines and has exhibited in several of the world’s best-known galleries and museums, including in London, New York, Los Angeles, Helsinki, and Stockholm. The images in the exhibit are playful and experimental, with bodies often depicted in choreographed poses or formations. The viewer is given the right to interpret the images, an important part of AdeY’s artistry. "I began taking photographs when I worked as a professional dancer and felt the need to erase what I had done before to be taken seriously. People doubt you when you change art forms. I also do not want people to focus on my background but rather my body of work", says AdeY. … | |

| Joan Fontcuberta Paramuricea clavata, 2023 © Joan Fontcuberta | | Joan Fontcuberta » What Darwin Missed | | 14 September – 22 December, 2024 | | Opening: Friday, September 13, 7–9pm The artist will be present. Artist talk: Sunday, September 15, 4pm with Joan Fontcuberta and Dr. Christiane Stahl, director of the Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung (in English) RVSP: [email protected] | | | | | | | | The exhibition "Joan Fontcuberta: What Darwin Missed" presents a new series of around sixty works specially conceived for the Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung by internationally recognized Catalan photographer, curator, essayist, and lecturer Joan Fontcuberta (b. 1955). The artist is renowned for his playful way of engaging audiences but also addressing the boundaries between reality and fiction. His works reflect on the role of photography in representing reality and frequently deal critically—but always humorously and provocatively—with the image in scientific disciplines such as botany or zoology. For the current exhibition, Fontcuberta engaged intensively with the foundation’s archive and resumed a research project Alfred Ehrhardt had started in 1938 for the Natural History Museum in Hamburg but was unable to complete due to historical circumstances. This history can be briefly outlined as follows: in 1938, to commemorate the publishing of Charles Darwin’s The Structure and Distribution of Coral Reefs in 1842, Alfred Ehrhardt was commissioned by the Hamburg Natural History Museum to photograph its collection of corals. Eight of these photographs will be presented in the exhibition, supplemented by Ehrhardt’s award-winning 1964 film Korallen – Skulpturen der Meere (Corals—Sculptures of the Seas), which can be regarded as a later fulfillment of his commission. Following in the footsteps of Charles Darwin and the Valdivia deep-sea expedition, he was to accompany the head of the coral collection to locate a highly specialized species of coral on the Galapagos and Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Due to the outbreak of the Second World War, neither the expedition nor the publication were realized. In 1943, the Hamburg Natural Hi… | |

A look at hair from Diane Arbus to TikTok". The show highlights the role of hairstyles in society, politics and everyday life through a wide selection of historical and contemporary photographs, videos and film clips from art, fashion and social media. From iconic works such as J.D. 'Okhai Ojeikere's documentation of Nigerian hairstyles to the work of artist and fashion photographer Suffo Moncloa for Gucci, the overview exhibition shows that hair is far more than just a fashion accessory. It is an expression of our identity, a means of communication and a social statement. From photographers such as Helmut Newton or Chaumont-Zaerpour, who stage hairstyles not just as fashion accessories but as a central design element, to artists such as Hoda Afshar, Thandiwe Muriu or Maria Tomanova, who depict hair as a means of resistance and emancipation: Grow It, Show It! shows that hair images are not only the subject of the cosmetics industry, but also of queer-feminist, body-political and postcolonial discourses. At the same time, the comprehensive themed exhibition explores how images of hair have consolidated and defined trends over time and the central role played by the history of photography and current social media formats such as tutorials and ASMR videos. Firmly anchored in the photographic canon is the large-scale series of works by J.D. 'Okhai Ojeikere, who systematically documented the sculptural forms of Nigerian women's hairstyles in over a thousand photographs from the 1960s onwards. To this day, his work continues to influence a young generation of artists, as can be seen in the NFTs of the Yatreda Art Collective. They combine the new, such as blockchain technology, with the old by pr… | |

EARLY WORKS" on view from September 13, 2024 to January 5, 2025 the Fotografie Forum Frankfurt (FFF) shows another highlight in its 40th anniversary year. As an observer of life, the ironic and socially critical eye of MAGNUM photographer Martin Parr has become an integral part of the history of photography. This exhibition of rarely seen black and white images made by the British photographer between 1970 and 1985 is on view for the first time in Germany. Bird clubs in Surrey, pilgrimages to see the Pope in Ireland, holiday resorts, sports and village banquets are only a few of the places and social activities which first grasped Martin Parr’s attention. In a special selection of fifty-eight black and white images, this show focuses on the subtleties of the unnoticed episodes found in the everyday: be it in communities draped in local traditions, street life and in the unforgettable fluctuating island weather, Parr makes us always look twice, to cherish the funny sides of life. Included are some of Parr’s encompassing views such as "The Mayor of Todmorden’s inaugural Banquet", from 1977, where hungry guests squeeze shoulder to shoulder, not to miss the best dish; or two devout Catholics anxiously awaiting a glimpse of Pope John Paul II, Dublin, 1979 a-top their kitchen ladder; or the animal protagonists, such as a cow posed like a day-tripper on the hillside of Glastonbury Tor. Simultaneously, the Leica Galerie Frankfurt is showing with "MARTIN PARR IN COLOUR" (14.09.2024 – 05.01.2025), a selection of photographs in colour made by the British documentary photographer. Together, these two exhibitions provide a complementary overview of the wide range of Martin Parr's work. Exaggeration an… | |

| Val Telberg Prof le of Anne, c. 1953 Vintage gelatin silver print, printed by the artist © Estate Val Telberg / Courtesy Les Douches la Galerie, Paris | | Val Telberg » An American Surrealist in Paris | | 12 September – 10 November 2024 | | Opening: Wednesday, 18 September, 6pm | | Exhibition organized as part of the partnership between the CPGA, the Centre Pompidou and the Association André Breton. | | | | | | | | Exhibition organized as part of the partnership between the CPGA, the Centre Pompidou and the Association André Breton. 2024 will mark the centenary of one of the most fascinating and influential artistic movements of the 20th century. A hundred years ago, indeed, André Breton published the Surrealist Manifesto. The Centre Pompidou, which is preparing to celebrate this anniversary with a major exhibition, "Le Surréalisme d’abord et toujours"", has launched a call for projects - "A Surrealist Season in Paris" - to which Les Douches la Galerie has decided to respond. This will be an opportunity for the public to (re)discover a unique experimental work, composed mainly of superimposed images of characters in motion that present a dreamlike weightlessness associated with surrealism. The works of Val Telberg, who also created paintings, sculptures, and films, are part of numerous international public collections, including that of the Centre Pompidou. Four of his photomontages were, in fact, exhibited during the collective exhibition "Corps à Corps – Histoire(s) de la photographie". Curator: Françoise Morin | |

| | Man Ray » Revolving Doors | | 12 September – 10 November 2024 | | Opening: Wednesday, 18 September, 6pm | | | | | | | | "Revolving Doors" is a series of works created by Man Ray early in his career in the United States around 1916-1917, before he moved to Paris in 1921 and became a central figure in the Dada and Surrealist movements. This series accompanied Man Ray throughout his long career: initially created as a series of colored paper collages around 1916, it was exhibited in New York at the Daniel Gallery in 1919 and later featured in the 1935 edition of the Surrealist magazine Minotaure. The series was reproduced using stencils and published as lithographs in 1926 by Surrealist editions, and again in 1972 by publisher Luciano Anselmino, which served as inspiration for tapestries created in 1973 by Frédérique Bachellerie and Peter Schönwald. "Revolving Doors" perfectly illustrates Man Ray’s avant-garde and experimental spirit, known for his significant contributions to the Dada and Surrealist movements. Created within the context of the Dada movement, which rejected the artistic and social conventions of the time, Revolving Doors embodies this spirit of rebellion in search of modernism, challenging traditional notions of art and beauty. | |

| | | | | | | | WORLD.NATURE.HERITAGE – "Humanity has opened the gates to hell", warned Secretary- General António Guterres in an impassioned speech on the margins of the UN General Assembly in September 2023. UN General Assembly in September 2023 to politicians, entrepreneurs and activists, he warned of the terrible consequences of increasingly extreme weather events. "Our concern is that all climate action will be dwarfed by the scale of the challenge”, as humanity is heading for a temperature rise of 2.8°C. An appeal to the world that has long been inscribed at the heart of our festival. It is our duty to preserve the poetry of creation for our children. On the fundamental issues of urbanisation, biodiversity, natural resources, environmental pollution and global warming, we will try to use images to provide, if not solutions, then at least food for thought. Therefore, in our seventh festival year, we will be showing the work of the great masters of environmental photography: Nazli Abbaspour, Evgenia Arbugaeva, Yasuhoshi Chiba, Joana Choumali, David Doubilet and Jennifer Hayes, Nadia Ferroukhi, Sacha Goldberger, Richard Ladkani, Lucas Lenci, Luca Locatelli, Pascal Maitre, Beth Moon, Maxime Riché, Sebastião Salgado, Alain Schroeder, Vee Speers, Brent Stirton, Lorraine Turci, David Turnley, Peter Turnley and Cássio Vasconcellos. "We all need Eden as a horizon," writes Cyril Drouhet in his essay in the festival catalogue. "There was a time when we had a rainbow in our heads: We believed in the future, in progress, our dreams were full of utopias. In the third millennium, this colour has turned grey. But life needs radiant colours like in photography to enchant the world again. That is the cha… | |

The pre-opening will take place on April 17, 18 and 19 ; the awards ceremony and inauguration will be held on 20 April 2024 . Since 2021, La Biennale di Venezia launched a plan to reconsider all of its activities in light of recognized and consolidated principles of environmental sustainability. For the year 2024, the goal is to extend the achievement of “carbon neutrality” certification , which was obtained in 2023 for La Biennale’s scheduled activities: the 80th Venice International Film Festival, the Theatre, Music and Dance Festivals and, in particular, the 18th International Architecture Exhibition which was the first major Exhibition in this discipline to test in the field a tangible process for achieving carbon neutrality – while furthermore itself reflecting upon the themes of decolonisation and decarbonisation. The Exhibition will take place in the Central Pavilion (Giardini) and in the Arsenale, and it will present two sections: the Nucleo Contemporaneo and the Nucleo Storico. As a guiding principle, the Biennale Arte 2024 has favored artists who have never participated in the International Exhibition—though a number of them may have been featured in a National Pavilion, a Collateral Event, or in a past edition of the International Exhibition. Special attention is being given to outdoor projects, both in the Arsenale and in the Giardini, where a performance program is being planned with events during the pre-opening and closing weekend of the 60th Exhibition. Stranieri Ovunque - Foreigners Everywhere, the title of the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, is drawn from a series of works started in 2004 by the Paris-born and Palermo-based Claire Fontaine collective. The works consist of neon sculptures in different colours that render in a growing number of languages the words “Foreigners Everywhere”. The phrase comes, in turn, from the name of a Turin collective who fought racism and xenophobia in Italy in the early 2000s. «The expression Stranieri Ovunque - explains Adriano Pedrosa - has several meanings. First of all, that wherever you go and wherever you are you will always encounter foreigners— they/we are everywhere. Secondly, that no matter where you find yourself, you are always truly, and deep down inside, a foreigner.» | |

Every two years, this festival presents a new unique collection of made-to-measure indoor and outdoor photography exhibitions and displays, to be discovered free of charge throughout Vevey. The featured artistic projects invite the visitors to experience images in a different way through monumental installations and scenography that is often unusual... The biennial has the particularity of custom designing its exhibitions in order to strike the perfect balance between the works, the scenography and the place in which they are exhibited. This year’s topic "(dis)connected" focuses on a contemporary conundrum of when unavoidable nostalgia meets inquisitiveness about an unpredictable future. (dis)connected: the theme of the Biennale Images Vevey 2024 explore one of the major issues of our time – the great divide created by digital technologies between past and present. The projects presented aim to create links between a certain nostalgia for the past and curiosity about an uncertain future. With this in mind, some fifty national and international photographic projects will be presented, playing on the feelings of connection and disconnection between tangible reality and digital fantasy. Indoors and outdoors, throughout the city of Vevey, artistic proposals play on the feeling of connection and disconnection between tangible reality and digital fantasy. | |
