In 2012, the American artist Alex Prager (1979, Los Angeles) won the Foam Paul Huf Award for her series Compulsion. Seven years later, Prager returns to Foam with an exhibition Silver Lake Drive. Prager’s work is cinematic, drawing inspiration from her surroundings, personal experiences, street photography, pop culture and film. She utilises a range of style elements reminiscent of early film genres such as film noir, thriller, melodrama and crime fiction. Women have frequently been the protagonist in Prager’s work, driven by emotion. Through the use of saturated colours and familiar imagery, Prager is able to create her own unique world where she explores darker topics in a seductive and unsettling way.
Prager’s work is rooted in the photographic tradition of William Eggleston, Diane Arbus and Cindy Sherman, each of whom mastered the art of freezing the indeterminable everyday moment. Prager’s oeuvre consists of heavily staged, large format images using rich colours. Her photographs can be seen as ‘single frame narratives’ that capture enigmatic stories within the edges of the frame. Both her photographs and films are characterised by the absence of a linear narrative; each of the works recounts a bizarre, perpetual unreality. | | |

| | | Jesper Just, Servitudes, 2015. Video still, eight-channel digital video, color, sound, 9 min. Courtesy the artist, Nicolai Wallner. | | | | | | | | 15 June – 11 August 2019 | | | | Opening reception: Friday 14 June 19:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | This summer, Kunsthal Charlottenborg opens the doors to internationally renowned Danish artist Jesper Just with the one-work exhibition Servitudes. By presenting a spatial installation that disrupts the visitor’s experience, Just questions ideas of representation and agency that permeate contemporary society. The exhibition is initiated in collaboration with MAAT – Museum of Art, Architecture & Technology in Lisbon, and curated by Irene Campolmi.
Servitudes is a video installation that shows eight synchronised 9-minute films on a loop. It investigates the ambiguity and sensuality of youth, the striving for beauty, and how humankind’s agency inverts the conventional understanding of ability and disability. The work traces a journey into opposed yet interdependent ideas of agency and representation that permeate contemporary society, and which are central to Just’s practice. Using the architecture as a medium, Just transforms Kunsthal Charlottenborg’s south wing into a complex spatial installation, where a monumental architecture of scaffolding structure offers a narrow path made for wheelchair access as the only way to go through it. The installation invites – and forces, at the same time – the visitor to perform a score by adjusting an ‘able’ body to unexpected conditions and, thus, testing ideas of agency of the body that often recur in Western society. | | |

The main exhibition will aim to bring together Eros & Cosmos. Under the title OSMOSCOSMOS, it will highlight the link between these two universes, a connection that has been very little studied in our western cultures, probably too much influenced by monotheistic religions and the feelings of guilt developed in association with Eros, with the purpose of making the individual more subject to the ascendancy of the churches.
Jean-Pierre Vernant, a specialist in Greek antiquity, emphasizes that the sexualisation of the god Eros occurred at the moment when Uranus was castrated and withdrew from Gaia in pain to become the starry sky above our heads. And for the philosopher Michel Onfray, referring to the Kama Sutra, sex is defined as follows: “...natural, attuned to the cosmos, never separated from the world, always there as a reminder of the bond between the parts of a greater whole”. | | |

| | | Exposure # 9, Barbara Probst, NYC, Grand Central Station, 12.08.01, 1:21 p.m., 2001 © Adagp, Paris, 2019 | | | | | | | | until 25 August 2019 | | | | Thu 20 June 19:00 | Talk with Barbara Probst, Stephanie Kiwitt, Florian Ebner (Centre Pompidou) | DÜSSELDORF : FAIRE ÉCOLE ? | Goethe-Institut Paris - 17, avenue d'Iéna, 75116 Paris | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using a radio-controlled release system, Barbara Probst triggers simultaneous shots of the same event, gesture or action from different distances and angles. This moment multiplied into several views constitutes an Exposure, a constellation of perspectives that induces multifaceted, sometimes contradictory readings of the image.
Barbara Probst is not interested so much in what is represented as in the way it is represented. Using gestures, faces and objects that are as neutral as possible, she minimises the narrative character of each view and seeks a more open, more ambiguous rendering. She has always been intrigued by the 1960s writers and filmmakers who broke with classical narrative, like Alain Robbe-Grillet and Jean-Luc Godard. "Their way of storytelling was to go against the expectations of the reader or viewer by creating cracks and gaps in the story or by unexpectedly changing the perspective. They treated the narrative not unlike a cubist painter treated space…"
"Sometimes I imagine this process as thought my pictures were standing there like a façade, and the structural support behind them has vanished. Reality has vanished; only the pictures are still standing there as a façade." - Barbara Probst
Her work is based on her early years of study at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich, where she studied sculpture. "We were modeling with clay every day with a nude model posing for us. We would create a three-dimensional image of our model as naturalistically as possible. The nude model would stand on a turntable that we would turn every 10 minutes by about 30 or 40 degrees, so that each student could see every possible angle of the model." As a photographer, Barbara… | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | On June 19th, Christie’s will offer photographs assembled by New York collector Leon Constantiner that celebrate glamour, elegance and idealised beauty. The first sale, at Christie’s New York in 2008, presenting works from his collection was a landmark event in the photography auction market, underscoring the importance of the great editorial photographers who captured so memorably our ideals of beauty in the inspirational post-war decades of fashion and style magazines.
The works now on sale – the treasures that Constantiner had kept back to enjoy just a little longer – focus again on such emblematic figures as Helmut Newton, Irving Penn and Richard Avedon, Herb Ritts and Peter Lindbergh, whose reputations were made through the printed page, but whose work is today so highly prized by collectors in the form of spectacular prints. The Photographs department is pleased to present some of the 20th century’s most celebrated, truly iconic images of glamour and style that should attract global interest from collectors.
Helmut Newton:
Leon Constantiner discovered Newton’s work in 1991; this year was the starting point for Constantiner’s passion for photography. The sale will offer a strong selection of Newton’s signature images, well representing his unique vision, led by one of his most radical and famous works: the diptych Sie Kommen, Naked and Dressed, Paris, 1981 (€150,000-250,000).
A golden age of style
The Constantiner collection will allow collectors to rediscover images that define the elegance of the late 1940s and 1950s, highlighted by a fine selection of photographs by the fabled Vogue photographer Irving Penn, including Harlequin Dress 1950, (€200,000-300,000) and Woman in Moroccan Palace, 1951 (€200,000-300,000). The legendary fashion photographer Richard Avedon is represented by his masterpiece, Dovima with Elephants, Evening Dress by Dior, Paris, 1955 (€250,000-350,000).
The collection offers insights into the various trends that shaped fashion and beauty photography from the 1960s to the 1980s. Among the highlights are stunning large-format works by Herb Ritts and Peter Lindbergh, notably Ritts’s graphically dramatic, natural-light composition Versace Dress, Back View, El Mirage, 1990 (€80,000-120,000), his Stephanie, Cindy, Christy, Tatjana, Naomi, Hollywood, 1989 (€80,000-120,000), or Lindbergh’s celebrated image made as a cover for American Vogue, a line-up of the ‘Supermodels’ of the day, Biker Girls, Brooklyn (€70,000-100,000).
New York
The autobiographical aspect of the collection becomes evident through a selection of pictures dedicated to New York. Leon Constantiner discovered the city at the age of 7. New York was enchanting to him; everything seemed possible. Andy Warhol’s composite piece, Statue of Liberty, 1976-1986 (€40,000-60,000), or Burt Glinn’s shot depicting the artist, his muse Edie Sedgwick and Chuck Wein embodying the myth and lure of the city (€3,000-5,000). The architecture of New York, its authority and its powerful symbolism are well expressed in the mysterious soft focus of Seagram Building, captured by the eloquent eye of Hiroshi Sugimoto, (€15,000-35,000). | | |

We can describe them as dynamic, as not static, not stable, not fixed. Jean-Pierre Vernant (1), specialist in ancient Greece and its myths, describes the meeting of the two: Eros - always in motion, between men and gods - witnessed the birth of the universe, allowing Uranus and Gaia to procreate. Gaia, who is emancipating herself from Chaos, needs the energy of Eros to unite with Uranus. Lying on his back and mating with Gaia, Uranus refuses to withdraw, despite the Titans they have just spawned and who are waiting to be born. Gaia encourages her future children to revolt and places a sickle handle in young Cronus' fist. He grabs the object to use it as a weapon and cuts off his father's sexual parts. This immense pain forces Uranus to pull away from Gaia with vehemence and upwards, forming the vault of the sky, the starry firmament, the Cosmos – forever. | | |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Europe’s largest photographic festival is coming to Baden near Vienna for the second time. Under the motto HYMN TO THE EARTH, esteemed international photographers will exhibit fascinating visual worlds in a gigantic open-air gallery: 39 exhibitions with 2,000 large-format images—each up to 280 square meters in size—will transform the gardens, lanes and squares of Baden for four months and across 7-kilometres, into a "picture-city".
An exciting premiere for Baden is the guest presence of World Press Photo. Presenting Iconic Images, this exhibition is exclusively curated for Baden’s festival and showcases the legacy of the world’s finest photojournalists. Alongside Iconic Images the exhibition, Die Beziehung des Menschen zu seiner Umwelt (The Relationship Between People and their Environment) presents a "Best of" from the Leica Oskar Barnack Awards 2018.
Baden Becomes a World Stage
"Our public spaces are now value-added thanks to the photographic excellence" was how a Baden citizen expressed her enthusiasm for last year’s festival and gets to the heart of its achievements. Following on from last year’s successful I LOVE AFRICA is this year’s HYMN TO THE EARTH – on show from June 1 to September 30, 2019. The 7-kilometre open-air gallery extends from the visitor centre on Brusattiplatz in two circuits through Baden's old town centre, including through Doblhoffpark, Gutenbrunner Park and Kurpark.
On the occasion of Baden’s partner festival La Gacilly’s 15th birthday, the curators chose THE WORLD as the theme to represent this year’s festival. Here contemporary photography illustrates the state of our earth, its unique beauty as well as the dangers that threaten the Blue Planet and humanity.
The festival’s photographic images range from Thomas Pesquet's impressions of the Earth, which he orbited as an astronaut for 196 days in the International Space Station ISS, to Spike Walker's million-fold magnifications of life, as seen under the microscope. Across four cycles the entire programme showcases an enthralling pictorial narrative that oscillates between solemn tribute and concern – a hymn to the earth; the poetry of nature; humankind and nature; the threatened planet. "From my spaceship, I had the best possible vantage point to observe the earth," says Thomas Pesquet enthusiastically, "its beauty and treasures, but also its vulnerability."
The Festival la Gacilly-Baden Photo 2019 encourages harmonious living, a peaceful, open attitude towards others, a mindful lifestyle and a social economic model – it astonishes and gives us hope. The festival represents humanity’s desire for peace and does so through artistic and photographic renditions of the world’s pressing environmental concerns alongside celebrations of its beauty. | | |

| | | Girls Applying Mascara, Domestic Rituals (1979-83) © Mary Frey | | | | Copenhagen Photo Festival 2019 | | | CPF celebrating 10 years | | | | – 16 June 2019 | | | Copenhagen Photo Festival celebrates its 10 year anniversary on June 6-16 with a new festival center in the city’s new creative and culinary area, Refshaleøen, and exhibitions all over Copenhagen and Scania – a total of 64 exhibitions with more than 300 photographers.
The programme includes Mary Frey (US), Espen Rasmussen (NO), Per Bak Jensen (DK), Fiona Tan (NL), Keld Helmer-Petersen (DK), Mathias Svold & Ulrik Hasemann (DK) as well as solo exhibitions with talents chosen among 217 applicants: Franziska Gilli (IT), Marco Marzocchi (IT), Jana Sophia Nolle (DE), Mathias Løvgreen (DK) and Garrett O. Hansen (US).
Together with Reffen – Cph Street Food, a must-visit according to Lonely Planet, and Copenhagen Contemporary, we present a programme that not only celebrates Danish photography, but also takes relevant questions up for discussion. About xenophobia, staging reality through photography and photography as a form of art – in exciting new surroundings. | | | | | | | | | | | | | Celebrating photography in Copenhagen
Using the urban space and involving the citizens of Copenhagen is at the core of CPF. The anniversary will therefore focus on Danish photography via exhibitions and activities taking place in the city itself – from public transportation and the harbor to the city’s central squares, which builds upon the last 10 years of history celebrating photography in Copenhagen.
Copenhagen Photo Festival seeks to build bridges between documentary and fine art photography, which is done through our Framing-categories that focuses on universal themes instead of photographic genres. Framing Identity, Framing Society and Framing Vision each focuses on exhibitions and events dealing with respectively the individual, society and the medium.
Why do they hate?
In spring 2016 award-winning Norwegian photographer and photo editor Espen Rasmussen started a two year long journey through the darkest places in Europe and the U.S. He met fascists, Nazis, and other extreme nationalists. Two questions constantly arose: What drives these people? Why do they hate? White Rage is part of Framing Identity.
Between snapshots and staged photography
What is staged and what is not, when we e.g. see pictures on Instagram? Frey's pictures of the American middle class are located between snapshots and staged photography. They are very convincing yet distant. Is authenticity in photography a flexible thing and how must we deal with it? CPF will be showing selected works from Domestic Rituals and Real Life Dramas as part of Framing Society.
Photography as a form of art
The Censored Exhibition is a presentation of the newest within fine art photography. The works are selected by a jury based on the basis of an open call, and they show both the width of photography - as well as its many strengths as a medium. The exhibition features 25 photographers and is part of Framing Vision. | | |

Exhibition "Schein und Sein" by Henry Leutwyler at Stapferhaus
17 May – 17 June, 2019
The exhibition "Schein und Sein" - a collaboration between the Lenzburg Photo Festival, the Stapferhaus and the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Le Locle - is a reflection on the search for beauty and the real - and at the same time a journey back to the first home of the photographer Henry Leutwyler. Born in Lenzburg, he went out into the wide world at the age of 14 and taught himself how to photograph. Today he has photographed the greatest stars of our time and the covers of the most important magazines. The exhibition shows where Leutwyler came from and how far he has come: a life between appearances and reality. More information: www.henryleutwyler.com | | |

| | | © Mandy Barker | | | The Ci.CLO Bienal Fotografia do Porto 2019 | | | 11 curators // 53 artists // 16 venues // 8 workshops //
1 symposium // 1 publication // social events // | | | | | | | – 2 July 2019 | | | | | | | | | | | | | From 16 May to 2 July, the city of Porto will host the first edition of Ci.CLO Bienal Fotografia do Porto. The Bienal supports innovative approaches to visual representation that contribute to a greater critical awareness of the ecological and social vulnerabilities we face. Ci.CLO develops a continuous research and experimentation in collaboration with artists, questioning its own methodologies and proposing narratives, both utopian and dystopian, motivated by cultural and environmental changes.
ADAPTATION AND TRANSITION, the title of the first Ci.CLO Bienal Fotografia do Porto, suggests a dialogic relationship marked by social and environmental crisis. Each era can be characterised in how collective expectations and fears are managed. History tells us that attempts to react are based on scientific and technological development, together with an appeal for awareness, rational thinking and greater spirituality. Concerns related to environmental and ecological changes has emerged in the last 50 years. Narratives surrounding conflicts between culture and nature, which determine our survival and stability on the planet, have gained increasingly more space and consistency. This century is at a critical point. Survival is discussed in terms of imminent risk and emergency.
How can artistic mobilisations function in this time of great contradiction? There is a need to critique global governance that continues to promote ecologically unsustainable strategies. How can we diagnose this "crisis of our time" beyond the pessimism that has created a state of global passivity? What is the "response-ability" we want to encourage? | | |

The title is a phrase of English invention that has long been mistakenly cited as an ancient Chinese curse that invokes periods of uncertainty, crisis and turmoil; "interesting times", exactly as the ones we live in today. The 58th Exhibition is curated by Ralph Rugoff, currently the director of the Hayward Gallery in London. Between 1985 and 2002 he wrote art and cultural criticism for numerous periodicals, publishing widely in art magazines as well as newspapers, and published a collection of essays, Circus Americanus (1995). During the same period he began working as an independent curator. The Exhibition will also include 90 National Participations in the historic Pavilions at the Giardini, at the Arsenale and in the historic city centre of Venice. Four countries will be participating for the first time at the Biennale Arte: Ghana, Madagascar, Malaysia and Pakistan. The Dominican Republic exhibits for the first time at the Biennale Arte with its own national pavilion. | | |
