Past As Prologue: A Historical Acknowledgment | The National Academy of Design

October 17, 2024 – January 11, 2025

Past as Prologue brings together politically potent historical works from the National Academy’s collection with contemporary works from the National Academy's current community of esteemed National Academicians. The exhibition explores themes of representation of race and indigeneity, political and social commentary, landscape, colonialism, migration, and borders. The first part of the exhibition is focused on landscape and territory. Included artworks depict scenes of grand tours and expeditions in which early Academy members took part, as well as the formation of ideas of the United States abroad, with works depicting colonialism and imperialism and the idea of ‘manifest destiny.’ The second part of Past as Prologue: A Historical Acknowledgment is being organized around the theme of identity in relation to political engagement, with artworks that contend with abolitionist movements, national identity including race and indigeneity, protest and political action, social fabric and community, as well as labor.

American Nature | The Gallerie d'Italia - Turin

October 17, 2024 – March 2, 2025

The exhibition brings together photographs of the last twenty years from Mitch Epstein's fundamental series: American Power, Property Rights and Old Growth. The combination of these works tells of the resilience and fragility of the natural world, of the voracious devastation of resources at the hands of American industry and the risks that some reckless individuals assume to preserve what little remains of the pre-colonial lands, so that future generations can also enjoy it.

The ’70s Lens: Reimagining Documentary Photography | National Gallery of Art

October 6, 2024 – April 6, 2025

Featuring some 100 works by more than 80 artists, The ʼ70s Lens examines how photographers reinvented documentary practice during this radical shift in American life. The questions these artists explored—about photography’s ethics, truth, and power—continue to be considered today.

Old Growth | Yancey Richardson

September 5 – October 19, 2024

Mitch Epstein’s newest series of photographs, Old Growth, continues the artist’s career-long exploration of American culture and the nation’s fraught relationship with the natural world. Old Growth underscores the tension between the medium of photography – the camera can record its subject in a split-second – and the forests depicted, which have potentially infinite lifespans. This oscillation between the instant and the ancient, between human mortality and cosmic perpetuity, resonates through the exhibition. Old Growth articulates the forest’s resilience and fragility, highlighting the need for us to act now to realign our relationship to these precious natural resources. “It is not about how we can save trees,” says Epstein, borrowing from ecologist Suzanne Simard; “It is about how the trees might save us.”

Marvellous Realism | Fotografiska Shanghai

August 30 – December 1, 2024

Focused primarily on sub-Saharan African countries, Marvellous Realism is transnational in outlook, the exhibition presents work by established and emerging artists using photography and film as a means to envisage contemporary African cultural identity as a state of ongoing possibility, in which myth, memory and movement weave together into a rich tapestry of expansively imaginative art works. The exhibition is founded on an awareness of how the rich and diverse contemporary art and cultural scenes in Africa remain largely unknown to the Chinese public, in spite of the importance of long-standing economic and political relationships. The featured artists in the exhibition invoke Africa as an innately cosmopolitan condition that is closer in kind to the philosopher Achille Mbembe’s description of the continent as ‘a body in motion born out of overlapping genealogies, at the intersections of multiple encounters with multiple elsewheres.’

Zanele Muholi opens survey at the Tate Modern

June 6, 2024 – January 26, 2025
Zanele Muholi presents their exhibition return to Tate Modern, following a highly successful and record-breaking European tour. With over 260 photographs, this exhibition presents the full breadth of Muholi’s career to date and is the first major UK survey of the artist’s work. New works will be presented from Muholi’s acclaimed series of dramatic self-portraits entitled Somnyama Ngonyama (‘Hail the Dark Lioness’). Turning the camera on themself, the artist adopts different poses and characters to address issues of race and representation. From scouring pads and latex gloves to rubber tires and cable ties, everyday materials are transformed into politically loaded props. The resulting images explore themes of labour, racism, Eurocentrism and sexual politics, often commenting on events in South Africa’s history and Muholi’s experiences as a Black queer person traveling abroad. Since 2020, Muholi has expanded their portraiture practice into sculpture. Exploring intimacy, four monumental sculptures in the exhibition reckon with the relationship between public and private spheres. These larger than life-size works include three bronze depictions of the artist and a bronze representation of female sexual anatomy.

In Memoriam: Bertien van Manen

In Memoriam: Bertien van Manen

With great sadness, Yancey Richardson announces the passing of the renowned Dutch photographer Bertien van Manen who joined the gallery in 2003. Born in 1935 in The Hague, Van Manen began her career as a fashion photographer in the 1970s. However, she soon shifted to documentary photography, establishing a unique and highly regarded style over four decades. Working mostly with a handheld camera, Van Manen created intimate and poignant photographs of ordinary people and commonplace scenes, produced during extended trips to Europe, America, China and the former Soviet Union.

Known for the immersive, immediate and raw nature of her photographs, Bertien van Manen often lived and traveled with the people who formed her subjects. Early in her career she drove alone in a pick-up truck through Appalachia to capture the lives of women in the mining communities, a subject to which she was to return thirty years later. Fluent in Russian, Van Manen was one of the first photographers to enter the former Soviet Union after the fall of the Iron Curtain, traveling to each of the former republics over a period of five years to capture a society in transition. Fascinated by the cultural changes in contemporary China, she journeyed there fourteen times between July 1997 and May 2000 to produce the series East Wind West Wind. From 2002 to 2005, Bertien van Manen photographed the family photographs held and displayed in the homes of immigrants throughout Europe, capturing a century of shared history, while highlighting the imminent disappearance of the family snapshot.

Throughout her distinguished career, Bertien van Manen published several influential photobooks, including A Hundred Summers, A Hundred Winters (1994), East Wind, West Wind (2001), and Let's Sit Down Before We Go (2011). In 2021, Mack Books published Archive, a 384-page compendium of her life’s work. Van Manen’s photographs have been exhibited in leading museums including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Modern, London; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Maison Européenne de la Photographie, Paris; Reina Sophia, Madrid; Metropolitan Museum, Tokyo; and Fotomuseum Winterthur.

Bertien van Manen's legacy is a testament to her ability to capture the beauty and complexity of human existence, her visual language imbued with empathy and respect for the everyday lives of her subjects. Her work will undoubtedly continue to be a source of inspiration and reflection for future generations.

Zanele Muholi Retrospecive Announced at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

January 18 – August 11, 2024
A self-described visual activist, Zanele Muholi (b. 1972, Umlazi, South Africa) uses the camera to explore issues of gender identity, representation, and race. Often photographing their own body or members of their LGBTQ+ community in South Africa, Muholi calls attention to the trauma and violence enacted on queer people while celebrating their beauty and resilience. Activism is central to Muholi’s artistic practice, from their early work contending with the dangers of being queer in South Africa to their more recent work embracing their own blackness and gender expression. This exhibition brings together photographs from 2002 to the present alongside the artist’s latest explorations in painting and sculpture. The first major exhibition of Muholi’s work on the West Coast, it provides the opportunity for Bay Area audiences to experience the full range of the artist’s expansive project.

March 3 - June 25, 2023

On March 3, the Fondazione di Sardegna, in collaboration with the MAN Museum, will open Twelve ee hs nine – Dolmen and Menhir in Sardinia by Olivo Barbieri, curated by Marco Delogu and Chiara Gatti. 

The artist's previously unpublished series concludes his work with the Sardinia Commission, a project that supports the production of contemporary works of art through the AR/S Arte Condivisa with the aim of showcasing the territory, history and stratifications that characterize the island of Sardinia. Through the eyes of curators, artists are invited to reside in Sardinia and produce work about life on the island.

The object of Barbieri's research is documenting the legacy of numerous megaliths, dolmens and menhirs scattered on the island. The purpose of these structures is still unclear to scholars; Barbieri records these stone artifacts and the space that surrounds them with his camera.

Mary Lum: The Moving Parts (&)

February 6- June 24, 2023

For this newly commissioned exhibition, Mary Lum has created an artist’s book and installation featuring photographs of temporary constructions made from a palette of broken vintage letterforms. The small constructions carry ideas about language coming into being and piling up on itself. Fragments are rearranged in attempts to communicate, to form something whole and understandable, against backgrounds of varying colors. Lum’s photographs, letterforms, and artist’s book appear with a selection of sketchbooks that present the artist’s mode of working through collage. All are surrounded by a large-scale paint work that envelops the gallery, the bars of color echoing the Corita Papers that inspired Lum’s publication Moving Parts (&).

As we continue to count the cost of a global pandemic and head towards the United Nations Climate Change Conference meeting in Glasgow in November 2021, Perry's work could hardly be more resonant.

The exhibition presents 35 photographs taken by Barbieri in the early eighties that have been brought together for the first time. Mainly depicting Italy, the images present the daily life of its inahitants, from large urban centers to small cities.

Some of the exhibited images were included in Viaggio in Italia, the project conceived in 1984 by Luigi Ghirri which, by bringing together twenty young photographers, succeeded in redefining the idea of landscape and at the same time as a rethinking of the photographic act. The project is still to this day cosidered a manifesto for new generations.

Jitka Hanzlová: Silences

November 15, 2019 - February 16, 2020

The exhibition is the very first comprehensive presentation of Hanzlová’s work in her native country, covering three decades of her artistic practice and including a new series of photographs, conceived especially for the exhibition in the National Gallery Prague.

“The path that I take is a path back to look into the future”, thus Jitka Hanzlová explains her artistic pursuit and the way she perceives time and history. Born 1958 in Náchod and raised in Rokytnik in Eastern Bohemia (former Czechoslovakia), Hanzlová left her native country in 1982 for Essen, Germany where she studied photography at the visual communication department of the University of Essen. Developed in between two different cultures and political systems, her photographic oeuvre, at once truthful and poetic, reflects the recent historical transformations and elaborates an identity formation of a future emancipated subject in a post-Cold War world.

Be Seen: Portrait Photography Since Stonewall

June 22 - September 15, 2019

The 1969 Stonewall riots are viewed as an important turning point in the LGBTQ+ civil rights movement. Be Seen explores how artists have used portrait photography to challenge, subvert, and play with societal norms of gender and sexuality. In the past 50 years, photographers have documented the experiences of the queer community. They have also examined how gender identity and sexual orientation were viewed historically and how they are constructed today. For many of the artists in Be Seen, gender is not simply something we are, but something we perform. Just as the subjects of these photographs “pose” for the camera, so too do we perform our gender through the clothes we wear and how we interact with others.

Double Take

June 5 - September 1, 2019

In Colloquial language a "double take" refers to a delayed reaction to something unexpected, immediately after one's first reaction. It literally means to take twice. Both of these elements are at work in photographs of Sharon Core and Laura Letinsky.

Orlando, an exhibition guest curated by Tilda Swinton

For the summer 2019 issue of Aperture and a coinciding exhibition, Swinton, as guest editor and curator, draws upon the central themes of the novel—gender fluidity, consciousness without limits, and the deep perspective of a long life—to offer a collection of images and writings that celebrate openness, curiosity, and human possibility. “Woolf wrote Orlando,” Swinton notes, “in an attitude of celebration of the oscillating nature of existence. She believed the creative mind to be androgynous. I have come to see Orlando far less as being about gender than about the flexibility of the fully awake and sensate spirit. This issue of Aperture will be a salute to indetermination and limitlessness, and a heartfelt celebration of the fully inclusive and expansive vision of life exemplified by the extraordinary artists collected here.”

British Landscape & The Imagination: 1970 to Now
September 30, 2017 - January 27, 2018

This major survey exhibition focuses on artists who have shaped our understanding of the British landscape and its relationship to identity, place, and time. Exploring how artists interpret urban and rural landscape through the lens of their own cultural, political, or spiritual ideologies, the exhibition reveals the inherent tensions between landscape represented as a transcendental or spiritual place, and one rooted in social and political histories.

Laura Letinsky, L'emprise du Temps

The work of Laura Letinsky (b. 1962) sends us back in time. Like many phtographesr working prior to the digital age, Letinsky used a Polaroid for tests. Shot with Polaroid Type 55 film - the famous instant-development process that creates a single image- Letinsky photographed fruit, flowers, food, cutlery, and other everyday objects. Those familar with the Canadian artist's work will recognize her still lifes, a genre in which she has stood out since the 1990s. But just as she was about to throw away these test images, she became intrigued by how they had deteriorated. The materials had changed in unexpected ways and offered a lesson on the vulnerability of life. Digital technology has made much of contemporary photography immaterial and, in many ways, sharp and bright - there is something gripping, therefore, about Letinsky's Polaroids, degraded as they are by the development process, chance, and the passage of time. They have an air of mystery, of strangeness: a metaphor for life itself.

Like sugar

Our taste for sweetness is a powerful force. It is one of the foundations of empires; of slavery; of ecological devastation; and of modern health epidemics and food injustice. Even knowing this, we love it. Flowers and fruits seduce birds and insects with their nectars; for human beings, sugar starts as cane, beets, or corn, and people have harvested and manipulated and packaged it to suit consumers’ fancies. We continually construct and reconstruct its meanings. Like Sugar will explore both the problematic and the joyful aspects of sugar, complicating our view of how this multi-layered substance affects us. Through artwork by contemporary artists such as Vik Muniz, Julia Jacquette, Zineb Sedira, Laurie Simmons, Sharon Core, and others; historical materials such as maps, prints, and books; and material culture such as cane-cutting tools and sugar dishes, the show will raise questions and provide a space for dialogue about sugar in our lives.

Theater of Fiction

Theaters of Fiction presents work by seven contemporary artists who have utilized a variety of means and mediums to explore themes of illusion, escapism, and artificiality through the physical space of the theater and its accoutrements. Rather than depicting actors or audience members, these artists look outside the performance itself to the space in which it unfolds. Foregrounding the absences present in spaces where fictions are staged, these works explore the enchantment and fallacy of fantasy and reveal the constructs and hierarchies of culture and of the fabrications with which we entertain ourselves.  Featuring works by Lisa Kereszi, Candida Hofer, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Carrie Mae Weems, and Rhona Bitner.

This exhibition, the first retrospective in Spain of his work, provides an unusually broad range of photographs linked together by their captivating formal beauty and their understated commitment to contemporary social issues.

Feast for the Eyes: The Story of Food in Photography

The exhibition explores how food is represented and what its significance can be by means of three themes. For Still Life, one of the most popular genres in painting is taken as the starting point. The photographs show how the artists have been inspired by the genre and how it has changed in the course of time. Around the Table looks at the ritual that takes place around food. In addition, this section also deals with cultural identity that is reflected in food. Finally, Playing with Food shows what happens when humour, fun and irony are combined with food. In addition to the photos there will be a number of cookbooks on display. The books provide an additional visual history and supply context to the photos on the wall.

Joyful and courageous, Zanele Muholi photographs Black lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex individuals in South Africa, driven by an intense dedication to increasing the visibility of one of the country’s most vulnerable communities. The artist shares the personal motivations behind an ongoing self-portrait series that allows them to own their voice, identity, and history as a queer Zulu person. From a portrait session in the Johannesburg townships to a gallery opening in Cape Town, Muholi photographs LGBTI individuals, in the hopes of eradicating the stigma and violence that has pervaded queer communities in South Africa. Muholi and the participants in their work stake out their places in the world and demand that their voices be heard.

“Ansel Adams in Our Time” brings Adams forward in time, juxtaposing his work with that of contemporary artists such as Mark Klett (born 1962), Trevor Paglen (born 1974), Catherine Opie (born 1961), Abelardo Morell (born 1948), Victoria Sambunaris (born 1964), and Binh Danh (born 1977). The more than 20 present-day photographers in the exhibition have not only been drawn to some of the same locations, but also engaged with many of the themes central to Adams’ legacy: desert and wilderness spaces, Native Americans and the Southwest, and broader issues affecting the environment: logging, mining, drought and fire, booms and busts, development, and urban sprawl.

A sweeping re-examination of the history of modern art at the Wallach, located in Columbia’s Lenfest Center for the Arts on 125th Street west of Broadway, the exhibition presents more than 100 works of art from the mid-19th century to today, on loan from more than 40 public and private collections. Created by artists from Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas, and Henri Matisse to Romare Bearden, and Mickalene Thomas, the works show how the representation of the black female figure has been central to the development of art for the past 150 years. Posing Modernity is co-organized by the Wallach and the Musée d’Orsay, Paris. Columbia’s presentation is curated by Denise Murrell, the Wallach’s Ford Foundation Postdoctoral Research Scholar.

Muse: Mickalene Thomas and tete-a-tete

Mickalene Thomas challenges current standards and asserts new definitions of beauty and inspiration through her groundbreaking photographs. Identifying photography as a touchstone for her practice, much of Thomas' work functions as an act of deconstruction and appropriation -  she draws inspiration widely, borrowing various visual motifs, including 1970s black-is-beautiful imagery, 19th-century French painting, and 20th-century studio portraiture. Communities of inspiration are further highlighted in tête-à-tête, a companion presentation curated by Thomas. This mini-exhibition within Muse includes works by 10 artists that have inspired Thomas. Placed consciously in dialogue with her own practice, these works contain many of the same themes central to Thomas’ images. Artists include Renée Cox, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Zanele Muholi, and Carrie Mae Weems, among others.

Southbound: Photographs of and about the New South

An unprecedented photography exhibition co-curated by Mark Sloan, director and chief curator of the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, and Mark Long, professor of political science, both of whom are on the faculty of the College of Charleston, in South Carolina, Southbound embraces the conundrum of its name. To be southbound is to journey to a place in flux, radically transformed over recent decades, yet also to the place where the past resonates most insistently in the United States. To be southbound is also to confront the weight of preconceived notions about this place, thick with stereotypes, encoded in the artistic, literary, and media records. Southbound engages with and unsettles assumed narratives about this contested region by providing fresh perspectives for understanding the complex admixture of history, geography, and culture that constitutes today’s New South.

Zanele Muholi: Somnyama Ngonyama, Hail the Dark Lioness

 

In partnership with Autograph, Spelman College Museum of Fine Art is proud to present the United States premiere of Zanele Muholi: Somnyama Ngonyama, Hail the Dark Lioness. In this internationally acclaimed exhibition featuring more than 70 photographs, visual activist Muholi, whose pronouns are they and them, uses their body as a canvas to confront the politics of race and representation in the visual archive. Muholi’s psychologically charged portraits are unapologetic in their directness as they explore different archetypes, personal and collective histories, contemporary politics, and global events. Somnyama Ngonyamaemploys the conventions of classical painting, fashion photography, and the familiar tropes of ethnographic imagery to critically rearticulate contemporary identity politics. By increasing the contrast in the dark complexion of their skin, Muholi interrogates complex representations of beauty, pride, and desire. Gazing defiantly at the camera, Muholi challenges the viewer’s perceptions while firmly asserting their cultural identity on their own terms.

Double Enclosure

In his first solo European Museum exhibition Double Enclosure, Sepuya enters into a dialogue with himself as artist, his subjects and the spectator. He comments on the medium of photography as a construction of longing: the longing to record things, to look, to touch and to keep. Through a combination of draped fabric, careful framing and layered images of existing work, the viewer sees arms, thighs, torsos and hands, but rarely the whole body of the subject.

Still Life, Obstinacy of Things

With a selection of international and Austrian artists ranging from Jan Groover to Christopher Williams, Leo Kandl and Harun Farocki, the large theme-based photo graphy exhibition highlights the historical development strands that have led to today’s radical re-examination of the genre as a new field of experimentation for artistic expression. Above all, the exhibition featuresa younger generation of artists who are reflecting our very own ‘present’ in their photographs. They do so by precisely perceiving and meticulously examining the world of objects that surrounds us, with all its peculiarities, beauty, and ugliness. While some have chosen aggressively to combine highend consumer products with garbage and trash, others focus on things utterly over looked: worlds of objects that act as the traces of our everyday world with an often idiosyncratic beauty – which is precisely why they reward a closer examination.

Hellen van Meene: And everything goes on when you die

How can it be that the world keeps turning, the sun shines on and the flowers bloom – that, in short, it can be a beautiful day – when someone you love has just died? How is it possible that between your tears, and to your own amazement, you can suddenly laugh again, and enjoy making plans for the future, or creating things, while you are still paralyzed by grief? How can the world seem to be exactly the same when your own life has been altered so profoundly? These unfathomable connections between death, mourning, and renewed vitality inspired Hellen van Meene to create her newest work, entitled And everything goes on when you die.

A deliberate, ordered and sometimes narrative arrangement of photographic images bound in a book with little or no text, the photobook is an intimate presentation from photographer to viewer, one on one. This selection of photobooks and photo zines, created by an international group of women artists in the last ten years, embodies essential truths told through eclectic visual vocabularies. The images encompass coldly objective photographs of American locations of mythic importance, digital photos snapped through a car window and prints resulting from experiments with expired photo paper.

Shop It!

Theorists Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer coined the term "culture industry" to denote the way in which products of human creativity have undergone a process of objectification. The consuming subject can no longer expect art to fulfill a liberating role in his life. On the contrary: artistic and cultural goods are themselves used as a kind of narcotic, obeying an oppressive social order that prevents independent and critical thought. With this in mind, the present cluster of exhibitions addresses the question: how can one produce an artistic intervention that will not be co-opted by the system? The artists displayed in it choose to test the system's limits in order to challenge its equilibrium. The cluster examines the options still available for artists to realize their subversive impulse, such as turning the weapons of the capitalist enemy against it: advertisements, spectacle, replication, reproduction, viral dissemination via the internet and more.

Chosen Family: David Hilliard

David Hilliard has been photographing his life on the East Coast and elsewhere for over twenty years. Through cinematic, multi-image panoramas he is often noted for his nuanced photographic storytelling. His unique method combines both the still, singular moment with the movement and perspective only achievable through the passage of time. These decades of work also reveal his own shifting constructions of home, masculinity, desire, and family. Chosen Family brings together works made between 1993 and 2018 to explore these various positionings within three worlds: his liberal father’s gritty New England life, his conservative mother’s evangelical world in southwest Florida, and the queer families he has created throughout the country, but primarily in his own homes in Massachusetts and Maine.

Ori Gersht’s Falling Bird is inspired by the still life of the 18th century painter Jean-Siméon Chardin, entitled A Green-Colored Duck Attached to the Wall and a Bigarade. The film reveals a suspended duck, suddenly splitting a shimmering black surface, which collapses in its own reflection. The impact of the bird that penetrates the liquid surface and the triggering of a tremendous chain reaction, evokes the idea of an ecological disaster. Ori Gersht explores the relationship between photography and technology.

The exhibition also highlights links between Josephson and other contemporary artists working in photography, film, and sculpture—including Laura Letinsky, Roe Ethridge, Jessica Labatte, Marlo Pascual, Jimmy Robert, and Xaviera Simmons. Together, their work illuminates the ways images make meaning today.

Shape of Light: 100 Years of Photography and Abstract Art

For the first time, Tate Modern tells the intertwined stories of photography and abstract art. The birth of abstract art and the invention of photography were both defining moments in modern visual culture, but these two stories are often told separately. Shape of Light is the first major exhibition to explore the relationship between the two, spanning the century from the 1910s to the present day. It brings to life the innovation and originality of photographers over this period, and shows how they responded and contributed to the development of abstraction. 

Key photographs are brought together from pioneers including Man Ray and Alfred Stieglitz, major contemporary artists such as Barbara Kasten and Thomas Ruff, right up to exciting new work by Antony Cairns, Maya Rochat and Daisuke Yokota, made especially for the exhibition.

In the Garden

Drawn from the vast George Eastman Museum collection in Rochester, New York, In the Garden explores the ways in which photography has recorded, interpreted, or staged the cultivated landscape in its many shapes and forms. More than 100 images, from the 19th-century daguerreotype to today's inkjet prints, illustrate the range of gardens that have fascinated photographers, and how both subject and medium stimulate one another: photographers wanted to capture nature, and nature became the perfect subject as they experimented with new techniques and processes. More than simply chemists, photographers increasingly became viewed as artists.

The Tipping Point: Artists Address Climate Change

Artists J. Henry Fair, David Maisel, Alison Moritsugu, Richard Parrish, Jill Pelto, will exhibit in The Tipping Point. David Maisel’s images of radically altered terrain have transformed the practice of contemporary landscape photography. Maisel’s images of environmentally impacted sites consider the aesthetics and politics of open pit mines, rampant urbanization and sprawl, and zones of water reclamation. These surreal and disquieting images take us towards the margins of the unknown.

Figuring History: Robert Colescott, Kerry James Marshall, Mickalene Thomas brings together three generations of contemporary American artists, whose work challenges a Western painting tradition that underrepresents people of color. The vibrant and monumental paintings by these artists offer bold perspectives on Black culture and representation. Presented together for the first time, the figurative paintings of ColescottMarshall, and Thomas are shaped by distinctive historic events, unique in style, and united in questioning the narratives of history through Black experience.

The exhibition is comprised of over 60 never-before-exhibited photographs.

Muholi states, "This honour is not for me, it's for every other black LGBTQI, or any other person, who understands what it's like at this time to be us. It means more than a lot, and hopefully it paves the way for many who will follow us, and honours those who came way before us, and who never had an opportunity to be recognised."

Other Side: Art, Object, Self

What is the “other side”? Is it the same for everyone? This exhibition, featuring contemporary artworks from the Tang’s collection, offers many “other sides.” The artists in Other Side: Art, Object, Self explore the interconnections and elusive boundaries between concepts like life and death, seen and unseen, loss and hope, artifice and truth. They use objects, materials, and bodies in provocative ways to encourage viewers to assess preconceived notions and to prompt critical examinations of the self—of national, cultural, and personal identities.

Zanele Muholi

Making its Dutch premiere is Muholi’s latest series Somnyama Ngonyama (Hail the Black Lioness, 2015 to the present). A series of self-portraits, this body of work marks a radical new step in her oeuvre. Often experimenting with dramatic poses and lighting, Zanele turns the camera on herself, capturing the multiple roles that she assumes as a black lesbian woman. Through the use of high-contrast black and white tonal values, Muholi exaggerates her skin tone to emphasize her ‘blackness’. Curator Hripsimé Visser: “Her self-portraits are profoundly confrontational yet witty, and searingly emotional, too. Through an inventive manipulation of props and lighting, Muholi creates historical, cultural and personally inspired versions of ‘blackness’. With this, she defies stereotypical images of the black woman and speaks to current debates about stigmatisation and stereotyping.”

The Stedelijk Museum also presents a comprehensive selection of works from two other important series: Faces and Phases, and Brave Beauties. Also in the show is a projection of the documentary We Live in Fear (2013), and one of the exhibition galleries has been transformed into a documentary space for Inkanyiso, (Zulu for ‘the one who brings light’), the multi-media internet platform that Zanele Muholi founded in 2009 to create a visual history of LGBTQI communities.

New York Arbor

New York Arbor is a series of photographs of idiosyncratic trees that inhabit New York City; these pictures underscore the complex relationship between trees and their human counterparts. Rooted in New York's parks, gardens, sidewalks, and cemeteries, some trees grow wild, some are contortionists adapting to their constricted surroundings, and others are pruned into prized specimens. Many of these trees are hundreds of years old and arrived as souvenirs and diplomatic gifts from abroad. As urban development closes in on them, New York's trees surprisingly continue to thrive. The cumulative effect of these photographs is to invert people's usual view of their city: trees no longer function as background, but instead dominate the human life and architecture around them.

Another Way of Telling: Women Photographers from the Collection

In our current season of civil protest in which women are at the forefront, asserting their voices, it seems appropriate and timely to explore work by several generations of women photographers. On view in this exhibition are exceptional and rare photographs spanning the history of the medium, including examples by pioneers Diane Arbus, Julia Margaret Cameron, and Anne Brigman and contemporary artists Kelli Connell, Ann Parker, and Elaine Stocki.

MARY LUM | MASS MoCA

MARY LUM | MASS MoCA

On view May 28th

Assembly (Lorem Ipsum)

Artist Mary Lum, who lives in North Adams, works in a range of media, including wall drawing, painting, collage, photography, and artist books. Language plays an important role in her practice, with the artist drawing on texts from a diversity of sources, including literature, psychoanalysis, and the news. Lum has been included in three previous exhibitions at MASS MoCA in the past fifteen years; for the opening of Building 6 she was commissioned to create a large-scale wall work for the bike tunnel that transverses the ground floor of Building 6, piercing one of MASS MoCA’s biggest buildings to connect Adams-North Adams-Williamstown bike trails. Lum’s monumental painting, covering four walls, is inspired by Lorem ipsum, the meaningless text that graphic designers and typesetters use as mock filler content as placeholders for actual texts, and which was originally drawn from Cicero’s writings on ethics. The intricate work vibrates between writing, image, and pattern, and speaks to the fragmented way in which we acquire information and see language in today’s world. Mirrored interludes provide a vibrant backdrop to passing cyclists.

Genesis

Genesis is a quest for the world as it was, as it was formed, as it evolved, as it existed for millennia before modern life accelerated and began distancing us from the very essence of our being. It is a journey to the landscapes, seascapes, animals and peoples that have so far escaped the long reach of today’s world. And it is testimony that our planet still harbours vast and remote regions where nature reigns in silent and pristine majesty. Through these photographs, Genesis aspires to show and to share this beauty. It is a visual tribute to a fragile planet that we all have a duty to protect.

America’s urban streets have long inspired documentary photographers. After World War II, populations shifted from the city to the suburbs and newly built highways cut through thriving neighborhoods, leaving isolated pockets within major urban centers. As neighborhoods started to decline in the 1950s, the photographers in this exhibition found ways to call attention to changing cities and their residents. Down These Mean Streets: Community and Place in Urban Photography explores the work of ten photographers—Manuel Acevedo, Oscar Castillo, Frank Espada, Anthony Hernandez, Perla de Leon, Hiram Maristany, Ruben Ochoa, John Valadez, Winston Vargas, and Camilo José Vergara—who were driven to document and reflect on the state of American cities during these transformative years.

Regarding the Figure presents works from The Studio Museum in Harlem's permanent collection that explore the practice of portraiture and figuration as a means of celebrating personal and collective histories, ideas and identities. Ranging in date from the late nineteenth century to the present, and representing some forty artists from Henry Ossawa Tanner (1859–1937) to Njideka Akunyili Crosby (b. 1983), the works present diverse and at times unexpected methods of figuration, from the traditional (the portrait bust) to the experimental, and show subjects who come from the realms of both the celebrated and the anonymous.

Southern Accent: Seeking the American South in Contemporary Art

One needs to look no further than literature, cuisine and music to see evidence of the South's profound influence on American culture, and consequently much of the world. This unprecedented exhibition addresses and complicates the many realities, fantasies and myths that have long captured the public's imagination about the American South. Presenting a wide range of perspectives, from both within and outside of the region, the exhibition creates a composite portrait of southern identity through the work of 60 artists. The art reflects upon and pulls apart the dynamic nature of the South's social, political and cultural landscape.

Utopia/Dystopia—A Paradigm Shift is the first "manifesto exhibition" to be held in the kunsthalle designed by Amanda Levete (AL_A). Installed in three of MAAT's galleries, this key-inaugural project will be a large group show featuring more than 60 works by a range of international artists and architects, some appearing for the first time in Portugal. The show will reveal how the two fields have represented ideas of utopia, or anticipated emerging notions of dystopia, since the early 1970s, with a strong focus on work produced over the last five years. Participants include architects such as Archigram, Archizoom, åyr, Didier Faustino, Yona Friedman, Aldo Rossi, Superstudio, and artists such as Kader Attia, Olivo Barbieri, Jordi Colomer, Tacita Dean, DIS Collective, Cao Fei, Ângela Ferreira, Cyprien Gailard, Jonas Staal, Ryan Trecartin, and Wolfgang Tillmans.

Alternating sculpture—the medium in which he develops a broader spectrum, ranging from small three-dimensional creations to large-sized installations and hybrid objects—with photography, drawing, and mural painting, Irazu's work addresses the problems that occur in the relationships established between our bodies, objects, images, and spaces.

Lynn Saville photographs cities at twilight and dawn or as she describes, "the boundary times between night and day." Saville explains, "I began my series titled, "Dark City" to pursue this contrast between aesthetic perception and the subtext of economic distress, a contrast that evoked a disquieting beauty. In effect, I was seeking to capture the ways in which urban places become spaces and vise versa."

MASAO YAMAMOTO | TORI PUBLISHED BY RADIUS BOOKS

MASAO YAMAMOTO | TORI PUBLISHED BY RADIUS BOOKS

Yamamoto's career as a photographer began in 1993. One of Japan's most important living photographers, Yamamoto has taken many different approaches to photography over the past 20 years. But what has remained constant is the artist's belief that humans are just a small part of nature, united with it and part of it. Throughout his career, Yamamoto has often returned to animals, particularly birds, as a subject, reflecting his childhood fascination with the creatures and his eternal commitment to the unity of humanity and nature. With Tori, the photographer departs on yet another artistic journey, with a new series of quietly moving animal images (tori means "bird" in Japanese). Yamamoto asks himself, and his viewers: What do we see, and what do we identify with, in birds?

Dirt Meridian: Photographs by Andrew Moore

Photographer Andrew Moore has worked along the 100th meridian for the past decade, drawn to its mythic past and the people who call the High Plains home. Although literally the center of the United States, its sparse population teeters between geographic isolation and its prominent role in national and global markets for agriculture, energy, and natural resources. Moore sets this dynamic against the enduring myths of a quintessentially American landscape, balancing the weight of its past against a complex future.

Lynn Saville: Dark City, Urban America at Night

Lynn Saville's Dark City photographs illustrate her exploration of urban America between dusk and dawn. In this series, she focuses on evocative spaces that are generally devoid of people. Vacant buildings, shuttered storefronts, and empty streets are the ostensible subjects of her pictures, but the natural cycle of decay and rebirth in urban ecology is at the heart of each of her landscapes of downtowns after dark from New York to Los Angeles.

Portrait (s) 4th Season Under the Sun

Between the last fantasies of childhood and the first concerns of the adult world, puberty is a delicate period of physical and psychological transformations. The Dutch photographer Hellen van Meene has for many years produced portraits of teenagers. The gracefully choreographed gestures and glances are tinged with both apprehension and melancholy.

SYSTEMATICALLY OPEN?—New Forms for Contemporary Image Production

Somnyama Ngonyama
Curated by Zanele Muholi (b. 1972; lives and works in Johannesburg)
Drawn from a Zulu phrase meaning "Hail, the Dark Lioness," Somnyama Ngonyama uses stylized self-portraiture as a means to commemorate, question, and celebrate the ways the black body has been represented in photography. Augmented with shells, textiles, and other objects, the artist's diverse coiffures explore hair as symbolic primary material and a central facet of African identity and stylistic expression. An acknowledgement of South Africa's political history and a series of activist networks operating today in the country and elsewhere, Muholi's project comments on aesthetic and cultural issues that affect black people, and specifically black women, in Africa and its diaspora.

Combining new and existing work with found objects kept for their significance, the exhibition will unfold throughout the Museum, interacting with historic works in the Collection and with each other. Parker's inspiration has in part been taken from the Museum's eighteenth-century tokens – small objects left by mothers with their babies as a means of identification should they ever return to the Foundling Hospital to claim their child.

Light and landscape combine as metaphor in numerous works by Jensen. In 2009 the Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired his photographic series The 49 States and exhibited it in After Photoshop: Manipulated Photography in the Digital Age (2012). The photographs were derived from months of exploring small towns in the early days of Google Streetview. The series is also in the collection of the National Gallery of Art where it was also exhibited (2016). Other works likeThe Sun Returning, 14 Hour Sunset and Rainbow Around the Sun were exhibited together at Yancey Richardson Gallery as part of Jensen's solo show Feels Like Real (2015).

Into the Night: Modern and Contemporary Art and the Nocturne Tradition examines the long tradition of the nocturne in art and how that tradition has expanded to encompass various ways that contemporary artists consider the enigmatic notion of the night. This exhibition is comprised of paintings, photographs, and works on paper that investigate the psychological concepts of darkness, the dreamscape and its connection to the night, and the inter-connectedness of the environment with cultural and artistic discourse.

No Mountains in the Way: Photographs from the Kansas Documentary Survey, 1974

In 1974, with a grant of $5,000 from the NEA, No Mountains in the Way was organized by Jim Enyeart, then curator of photography at the University of Kansas Museum of Art. He and Kansas natives Terry Evans and Larry Schwarm—all artists who have attained considerable achievement in the intervening decades—travelled the state, photographing whatever struck them as representative. Each worked on an assigned theme. Enyeart focused on buildings, Evans on people, and Schwarm on the landscape. Their collective visions combined to poetically reflect place, culture, and custom in Kansas. The exhibition and catalogue were presented in 1975.

An extraordinary array of artists viewed Coney Island as a microcosm of the American experience, from its beginnings as a watering hole for the wealthy, through its transformation into an entertainment mecca for the masses, to the closing of Astroland Amusement Park following decades of urban decline."

September 12 - December 6, 2015

As a self-taught artist, Männikkö counts few stylistic precedents or influences, and though his interest in the residue of everyday life is the foundation of his image making, his formalism lends itself to metaphoric or existential modes of interpretation. Time Flies includes a range of images – abandoned cars, cemetery portrait sculpture, discarded family photographs - whose subjects bear witness to the passage of time and serve as a poignant meditation on the inevitable collapse of all material things, human or inanimate. Esko Männikköʼs gallery and museum installations place his photographs abutted together to form a single line through the exhibition space, in a variety of ornate, patinaed frames carefully selected to complement the details or subjects of his images.
