| | | from Tracey Sara Cwynar, 2017 | | | | | | | | 3 – 28 October 2017 | | |  | | | | | | | | | | She used to be great. She’s still very beautiful. I moved on her, actually. Sheesh, your girl’s hot as shit. In the purple. No that’s her, in the gold.
– Donald Trump and Billy Bush The word Red means something known to everyone, and in addition for each person it means something known only to (her).
– Wittgenstein I wanted to make pictures of my friend Tracy. I’ve known and photographed her for 10 years. There are ways that women are tied together. Tracy’s image is combined with other things –perfume bottles, pantyhose, colour grids. There is a lot that you already know about these pictures. Objects are familiar – the name of a brand, the particular tones of makeup, the look of a historical photograph. I started with things that belong to many people. This is, in part, about things as they’ve been standardized; how someone else decides what you get. What will the shape of a perfume bottle be? What red will film reproduce? Who is present on screens and in texts? Nothing is an accident. Some parts are more mysterious – images of women doing everyday tasks, a stranger blowing bubbles in three different photographs, some unnamed wrestlers wearing bikinis in a set of snapshots. Real life has a way of refusing standards. Sometimes it feels like everyone owns a woman’s face. “Smile, girl” and such. I have watched this woman navigate her beauty since we were young. A woman’s body is often defined by her face, and the image of the woman’s face is everywhere, as a portrait or a cover girl. The image becomes a possession; it belongs to everybody else.[i] You said colour is feminine, connected… | | |

This new series made over a three year period, Foglia explores the issues of the incessant human activity that has impacted on our natural environment so much so, that it is altering the worlds climate. In this new series, Foglia leads us through his journey in chapters of images. Moving from city to city through forests to farms and deserts to ice fields and oceans. Scientists are pictured quantifying and studying our relationship with the natural world, measuring how we as human beings alter nature and, importantly, how spending time in wild spaces and nature can fundamentally changes us. Both factual and lyrical, Human Nature is a celebration of the curious. At times funny, at others, sad and sensual, the images illuminate the human need to connect with nature and to the wildness in ourselves. Continuing in the vein of his previous projects A Natural Order and Frontcountry, Foglia creates intelligent and challenging questions in his photographs through his total immersion in his subject. Foglia has always been interested in the complex relationship between man and nature in all its varying guises, often with an environmental emphasis. His continued focus in this very topical and much discussed subject , underscores how we as individuals need to re-examine our own behavior, to see how we can individually play our own part in modifying the way human beings treat our most precious resource – our natural environment. | | |

© Christopher Thomas | | | | | | | | until 14 October 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hamiltons presents Lost in L.A., the most recent series by the photographer Christopher Thomas. With these atmospheric black and white photographs, Thomas brings his unique style of city portraiture to Los Angeles, originally established in Münchner Elegien (2001–2005), New York Sleeps (2009), Venice in Solitude (2010) and Paris: City of Light (2014). As with his previous series, he transports the viewer to a silent city, devoid of human presence and cars, particularly extraordinary in a portrait of L.A. The exhibition includes classic views and motifs associated with the city, such as the Hollywood Sign, Randy’s Donuts, Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland and Santa Monica Beach, as well as more unexpected pictures of oil pumps, solitary piers stretching into the Pacific Ocean and the nucleus and centre of Los Angeles under the Spaniards. Prestel Publishers is releasing a new book, Christopher Thomas: Lost in L.A., with the full series of images and text by Ira Stehmann. | | |

The exhibition draws on the Museum’s own extensive collection complemented by loans from around the world, and presents some 400 original Braun photographs, along with some 20 paintings by a number of international artists. Adolphe Braun was one of the most prominent and influential photographers in 19th century Europe. In 1855, the erstwhile textile designer made his debut as a photographer at the Paris Universal Exposition with a series of floral studies. International visitors were so captivated by the beauty of the familiar still life captured through the medium of photography that not only did the images prove popular as models for artisans but they also caused a stir in the art world. Braun would subsequently prove to be a great experimenter behind the camera. With the support of a few family members and a handful of employees, he founded "Ad. Braun et Cie.", a photography business, and together they pioneered Alpine photography. Perilous expeditions in the high mountains produced large-format landscapes of the Swiss Alps that appealed to the scientific community and tourists alike. These images document a natural landscape undergoing rapid change as a result of industrialization and a changing climate. To this day, they remain some of the most striking pictures ever taken of Alpine scenery. Braun’s photographs made a huge impression on French painter, Gustave Courbet, and were the inspiration for "Château Chillon", which depicts the eponymous Swiss castle on the shores of Lake Geneva. In the exhibition, this painting takes center stage alongsid… | | |

| | | Raghubir Singh (Indian, 1942–1999). Pavement Mirror Shop, Howrah, West Bengal, 1991. Chromogenic print, 19 1/2 × 29 1/2 in. (49.5 × 74.9 cm). Collection of Cynthia Hazen Polsky. Photograph copyright © 2017 Succession Raghubir Singh. | | | | | | | | 11 October 2017 – 2 January 2018 | | | | Opening reception: Wednesday 11 October 2017 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The exhibition will trace the full trajectory of the color street photography pioneer’s career from his early work as a photojournalist in the late 1960s through his last unpublished projects of the late 1990s. Using a handheld camera and color slide film, Singh recorded India’s dense milieu in complex frieze-like compositions, teeming with incident, fractured by reflections, and pulsating with opulent color. He embraced color as part of a continuous Indian aesthetic tradition that reaches back to the miniature paintings of the Mughal period, while being also deeply influenced by the work of Henri Cartier-Bresson (whom he met in Jaipur in 1966), Bengali filmmaker Satyajit Ray, and American street photographers such as William Gedney and Lee Friedlander. | | |

| | | © Piero Martinello | | | | | | | | 5 October – 12 November 2017 | | | | Opening reception: Thursday 5 October 18:30 | | | | | | | | | | | | | Radicality is that which 'belongs to true nature, pertains to key principles, relates to the essence.' Based on this definition by the Grande dizionario della lingua italiana, Piero Martinello has travelled through Italy looking for men and women who, each in their own way and for their own reasons, have adopted radical values and ways of life. Town fools, saints and worshippers, Mafia gangs, cloistered nuns, ecstatic ravers: All embody different life trajectories outside of norms and conventions. Designed like a mosaic of family pictures, the project was the subject of a book/album articulated in five chapters: Deviation, Devotion, Eversion, Contemplation and Evasion. In this gallery of portraits, photography is presented in a purely artistic form as well as in a more vernacular one, e.g. passport photos, holy cards and mugshots. Through a disparate presentation featuring a multitude of heterogeneous frames, the photographer revives a certain imagery of Italian folklore and thus reconnects his subjects with the community. Following the new documentary tradition of photography, his work addresses marginality and its stigmatisation by the establishment, while questioning the weight of stereotypes and their representations in our societies. | | |

THE PICTUREBOOK OF ELIZAVETA PORODINA | | | | 11 October - 16 December 2017 | | | | Opening reception: Tuesday 10 October 19:00 | | | | | | | | | | | | | A room coloured in an intense Yves Saint Laurent blue, windows with a view on the sky and the sea, and in the center a dance pole with a man swinging on it – it’s Maurice Ernst from Bilderbuch. Under the direction of Elizaveta Porodina the four members of Austrian cult band are dancing in a set of mirrors, smartphones, a vacuum cleaner, golden cups and a cat – inviting viewers to their »Bungalow« (2017). The popular music video is not the only result of the collaboration between the 30-year-old photographer and the internationally acclaimed Viennese band. Image campaigns, portrait shoots and most recently the hit video for »Baba« (2017) also originated from the liaison with Porodina. Invariably, the photographer creates particular, self-consistent, often bizarre-looking dream worlds, where every detail and colour are a perfect match.
OstLicht Gallery presents an exhibition of upcoming artist Elizaveta Porodina, whose work firmly positions itself at the interfaces of fashion, portrait and documentary photography. Born in 1987 in Moscow, she moved with her family in 2000 to Munich, where she studied clinical psychology. At the same time, she worked in different fields of visual media such as illustration, drawing or digital painting, until she turned to photography at the age of 22. Overwhelmed with happiness, which she felt during her first Lookbook photo shoot for a young designer, she decided to devote herself entirely to photography.
In addition to her photographic work for Vogue, Hugo Boss, Louis Vuitton & Co, Porodina has inspired people beyond the fashion world with her personal projects and her atmospheric, iconic portraits. Thanks to… | | |

Hybrid photography, archival pigment print, aludibond, diasec, custom-made aluminium frame | | | Clouds ⇄ Forests | | | | 7th Moscow International Biennale of Contemporary Art | | | | | | | – 18 January 2018 | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 7th Moscow International Biennale of Contemporary Art takes place in the New Tretyakov Gallery (The State Tretyakov Gallery, 10, Krymsky Val, Moscow) from 19 September 2017 to 18 January 2018. The Main Project Clouds⇄Forests is curated by Yuko Hasegawa - one of the leading curators in the international art world - and includes 52 artists from 25 countries. The concept of Clouds⇄Forests focuses on a new eco-system formed through the circulation of "Cloud Tribes" born on the Internet cloud space, and "Forest Tribes" born in an analogue world. Works of the artists in the Main Project are displayed in dialogue with works from the permanent exhibition of The State Tretyakov Gallery. Michael Najjar » has been invited to participate in the Biennale with several large-scale artworks from his celebrated "outer space" series. On view for the first time will be his "liquid time" triptych, created especially for the Biennale. This work highlights the fragility of our ecological balance and the significance of the change of state from ice to water because glaciers are storehouses of time - layer on layer they capture the air, water and oxygen of countless thousands of years. The picture was taken in early 2017 in an ice cave under the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier in Iceland.
Also on view, in the All-Russian State Library, will be Michael Najjar´s striking new video artwork "terraforming". The work focuses on transformation of a natural environment through energy input and combines footage taken on various locations in Iceland in early 2017 with Martian landscapes shot by NASA´s Curiosity Mars rover. | | |
