I’m a thousand different people–Every one is real
2024-03-15 – 2025-01-05 · New York, United States of America
Taking its title from a drawing by artist and queer icon Candy Darling, this exhibition brings together a selection of works recently acquired by the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art. Darling’s words evoke the multidimensionality of queer and trans life and artistic practices that insist on defining art and life entirely on one’s own terms. Taken together, the exhibited works–across various media and representational styles–embrace a spectral, prismatic approach to rendering LGBTQIA+ existence. Both contemporary and historical, the works elide the demand for authenticity and easy legibility, instead holding space for plurality, reinvention, and fantasy.

L’OBJECTIF FLÂNEUR Fotografinnen und Fotografen aus dem Pressearchiv «Heim und Leben»
2024-08-24 – 2024-12-08 · Kriens, Switzerland
“Heim und Leben” was an illustrated magazine for the general public with a high proportion of images, which offered a platform for important positions in Swiss reportage photography. The magazine’s extensive image archive, which was published by CJ Bucher-Verlag, came under the responsibility of the Museum im Bellpark after the publisher was dissolved. With the support of Memoriav, the association for the preservation of audiovisual cultural assets, the photo collection was secured and inventoried. After completing this work, the museum in Bellpark is now offering an in-depth look at the remarkable press archive, which documents social change in the period from 1930 to 1960. The presentation focuses on those photographers who shaped the profile of the popular magazine.

Vintages and Early Prints – René Burri
2024-08-30 – 2024-11-16 · Zurich, Switzerland
René Burri (1933-2014) is one of the most important figures in the history of Swiss photography. Following the example of earlier representatives of photography such as Werner Bischof, he left the photo studio after graduating from Hans Finsler’s photography class at the Zurich School of Applied Arts in favour of reportage photography. This is the first time that the family has released exclusive vintages and early prints from the estate for sale. Especially the backs of these thoroughly preserved prints from the 1960s to 1980s bear witness to the history and breathtaking journeys that not only the photographer, but also his photographs, underwent.

Color + Black + White – Werner Bischof
2024-08-30 – 2024-11-16 · Zurich, Switzerland
Following the highly acclaimed exhibitions of ‘Unseen Colour’ at MASI Lugano and the Fotostiftung Winterthur, Gallery Bildhalle invites visitors to discover, in dialogue with his iconic black and white images, the largely unknown colour photography of Werner Bischof. Largely considered one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, the original negatives date from the period between 1935 and 1954. The breathtaking images of Switzerland, post-war Europe and the countries Bischof travelled to have been painstakingly restored over a period of years, with the resulting prints lending Bischof’s work an unknown dimension and reveal a little-known aspect of his oeuvre.

BredaPhoto Festival
2024-09-13 – 2024-11-03 · Breda, Netherlands
From old industrial buildings and churches, to residential houses and parks: This fall, BredaPhoto is transforming the city of Breda into a huge stage for photography and video art. For more than seven weeks international top photographers will show side by side with young talents their vision on the theme Journeys. The journey is a metaphor for developments that everyone experiences in life and that can turn everything upside down. Sometimes this is a literal physical journey, in search of a new home and freedom, but often also psychological or spiritual, a search for your own identity or new life purpose. With these stories, the artists of the BredaPhoto Festival want to inspire you, perhaps to find a new path yourself.
