| | Juergen Teller Plates/Teller, No.152, 2016 © Juergen Teller | | | | – 25 September 2016 | | | | Bundeskunsthalle Bonn Friedrich-Ebert-Allee 4, 53113 Bonn +49 (0)228-91710 www.bundeskunsthalle.de Mon 10am-7pm, Tue-Sun 10am-9pm | |
| | | | Juergen Teller, born in 1964 in southern Germany, is one of the world’s most sought-after contemporary photographers. His works, many of which take the form of extensive series, are published in books and magazines and are shown in exhibitions. In the exhibition, works like Siegerflieger and My Man Crush, Pep Guardiola transform the Foyer in the Bundeskunsthalle into a public viewing area, where images of victories and defeats bear witness to Teller’s feel for capturing decisive moments. Other groups of works, extended over three rooms, are more autobiographical and occasionally anecdotal: quiet landscapes from Nürnberg, carefully staged yet unsparingly candid images of himself in The Clinic and subjective documentations of his engagement with his youth and his origins such as Irene im Wald. The latest series, Mit dem Teller nach Bonn and Plates/Teller, seem to bring together and concentrate all his earlier themes and compositions. The protagonists’ games with a plate – the German word for plate is Teller, and so the plate acts as a synonym and stand-in for the photographer – are captured in compositions that are as tender as they are exuberant, direct and honest, full of humour and strangely touching. Many of his complex narratives only unfold upon a closer look. | |

| Peter Keetman Self-Portrait With Camera, 1957 © Stiftung F.C. Gundlach | | Peter Keetman » World through a Creative Camera | | The Life’s Work of a Photographer | | – July 31 2016 | | | | | | | | Peter Keetman’s (1916-2005) oeuvre occupies an important position within German post-war photography. This comprehensive retrospective displaying around 300 works, held a century after the photographer’s birth, invites visitors to rediscover the life’s work of Peter Keetman. Characteristic of Keetman’s work is his continuous and imaginative exploration of the camera’s potential to create rather than just capture images. The retrospective not only traces the career of a great photographer, but also the protean career of the medium of photography itself, as it evolved between free art and commercial work. | |

| | | | | | | MGA is the exclusive Australian venue for this major exhibition of Chinese photography.

| The Scale 2, 2015; Single channel HD video; 2:12 min, edition of 3 + 1AP © Kawita Vatanajyankur | | | | – 23 July 2016 | | | | | | | | In Machinized, Kawita Vatanajyankur is a tool, a moving part in the machine. She transforms herself into food production equipment in performance videos that restage processes such as boxing eggs and weighing leafy greens. Like her previously celebrated works, this new series is graphic and glorious, sharing the same eye-catching allure that enamors us to ads. The confronting nature of her endurance performances, however, interrupts this seductive surface. The repetitive and arduous tasks that Vatanajyankur performs parody a pervasive slippage between human and machine, and foreground the forgotten body within a technologically accelerating world. Beyond this literal translation, these gestures also make visible the invisible mechanisms that govern women’s everyday labour in her birthplace of Thailand. In both contexts, paring seduction and confrontation proves a powerful device in Vatanajyankur’s hands—a Trojan horse for tackling entrenched attitudes toward gender, equality and work. | | |
