The Land Carries our Ancestors: Contemporary Art by Native Americans

September 22, 2023 – January 15, 2024

East Building, Upper Level, West Bridge

Washington D.C.

Curated by artist Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (Citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation), this exhibition brings together works by an intergenerational group of nearly 50 living Native artists practicing across the United States. Their powerful expressions reflect the diversity of Native American individual, regional, and cultural identities. At the same time, these works share a worldview informed by thousands of years of reverence, study, and concern for the land. 

Through a variety of practices—including weaving, beadwork, sculpture, painting, printmaking, drawing, photography, performance, and video—these artists visualize Indigenous knowledge of land/landbase/landscape. Together, the works in The Land Carries Our Ancestors underscore the self-determination, survivance, and right to self-representation of Indigenous peoples.

Micaiah Carter: What’s My Name is available for preorder now. Available October 3rd. Words by Shaquille Heath

Micaiah Carter’s Debut Monograph What’s My Name Carries on the Legacy of the Honoured Black Photographer

Carter is a young blood. At only 28 years old, his work is prolific, having appeared in publications like Vogue, Vanity Fair, and The New York Times; with top brands such as Nike, Lancome, and Thom Browne; and featuring celebrities such as Pharrell, Daniel Kaluuya, Tracee Ellis Ross and so, so much more. It is no wonder that Prestel Publishing approached Carter to create his debut monograph, What’s My Name? Which will be released later this Fall. 

"That is the legacy of photographers such as Gordon Parks and Carrie Mae Weems. They conspire within their minds, seeing the tendrils of outlines and shadows, blinking softly until their eyes adjust to the darkness, and they make art. It is a legacy poured down from one cup to another and has filled the very vessel that is in the hands of Micaiah Carter."

Micaiah Carter's first monograph will be published by Prestel Penguin Random House in Fall 2023. His first book, will be an archive, that includes images from his father and mother who inspired his vision.

MICAIAH CARTER’S WORK IS A SINGULAR ALCHEMY OF CONTEMPORARY YOUTH CULTURE, FINE ART, STREET STYLE, AND THE CERTAINTY THAT THE SIMPLE ACT OF REPRESENTATION CAN BE A FORCE FOR CHANGE.

Images of the Indigenous people of America in Nussdorf

... as if only these pictures would remain

Edward S. Curtis and Will Wilson

February 5 – July 30, 2023

The KUNSTWERK Collection Klein in Eberdingen-Nussdorf will open the new exhibition "... as if only these pictures would remain" on February 5th.

With two artistic positions about 100 years apart, it conveys different perspectives on the representation and perception of the "Indians" of North America. Around 60 photo engravings, historical photo prints and rare gold tone prints by Edward S. Curtis (1842-1952) are in dialogue with works by Santa Fe-based multimedia artist Will Wilson (*1969), who himself is a member of the Navajo/Diné Nation.

Valeria Waibel and Sarah Hasted Co Curators

Celebrating Black Joy and Liberation for Juneteenth

Penguin Random House names Sarah Hasted Editor of Micaiah Carter's new monograph titled "What's My Name" due out Fall of 2023. Introduction by Tracee Ellis Ross.

Sarah Hasted works with both emerging and established artists to place works in collections, edit and curate exhibitions, secure, edit and promote monographs and publications. Hasted has consulted for many private collectors and has placed artwork with numerous major museums and corporate collections. Hasted founded and directed her own gallery in New York in 2005 for over 10 years. Regarded as a showcase for emerging international talent and established artists, Hasted’s gallery became a highly recognized venue for contemporary art worldwide, and was home to singular, pioneering exhibitions that has helped foster the careers of some of the most original, wide-ranging, and international artists working today.

Rightly viewed, the whole soul of man is a sort of picture gallery, a grand panorama, in which all the great facts of the universe, in tracing things of time and things of eternity, are painted. — Frederick Douglass

The exhibition is organized by independent curator Herman J. Milligan, Jr. and Howard Oransky, Director of the Katherine E. Nash Gallery.

About the Exhibition

The Katherine E. Nash Gallery presents A Picture Gallery of the Soul, a group exhibition of over 100 Black American artists whose practice incorporates the photographic medium. Sampling a range of photographic expressions from traditional photography to mixed media and conceptual art and spanning a timeframe that includes the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries, the exhibition honors, celebrates, investigates, and interprets Black history, culture, and politics in the United States.

From the daguerreotypes made by Jules Lion in New Orleans in 1840 to the Instagram post of the Baltimore Uprising made by Devin Allen in 2015, photography has chronicled Black American life and Black Americans have defined the possibilities of photography. Frederick Douglass, a former enslaved person, and nationally prominent abolitionist recognized the quick, easy and inexpensive reproducibility of photography. He presciently developed a theoretical framework for understanding the implications of photography on public discourse in a series of four lectures. The exhibition title comes from Douglass' Lecture on Pictures, delivered in Boston in 1861 during the Civil War.

TOURISM
Dries Van Noten The Little House
Presented by Brackett Creek Exhibitions
451 N. La Cienega Blvd. Los Angeles.
June 4th through July 16th.

This exhibition is an immersive presentation of TOURISM.

BEAR, by artist Marie Vic opens Tuesday February 15th, from 6pm at ALAÏA, 5 rue Marignan, 75008 Paris.

MARIEVIC [b. Paris, France] is a visual artist currently living and working in New York City. She graduated from École Spéciale d’Architecture and received an MFA from Parsons The New School for Design. MARIEVIC’s work varies widely in its medium; upon projects, her studio produces sculpture, photography, video and installations. She considers the fetishized cultures of consumption and gives a careful look to changing conceptions of luxury and disposability. She often employs a decidedly absurdist sense of humor and always aims to explore how the self is performed in different contexts, at the same time individually, globally, and politically.

Family Album  will be on display in LACMA's Charles White Gallery. The work explores how contemporary makers of color have adopted the form of family photographs and/or challenged their aesthetic conventions. Artists such as Dannielle Bowman, Janna Ireland, Laura Aguilar, Delilah Montoya, LaToya Ruby Frazier and Leslie Hewitt explore themes of interiority, domesticity, gender, labor, self-representation, performance, and documentation as a form of activism. Works by Mark Bradford and Tony Cokes explore the legacy of redlining in the United States in shaping the neighborhoods where communities of color live today. Primarily a photographic display–the exhibition considers the promise and importance of photography for Black Americans to control their own image, and preserve pictures of their families. 

Spandita Malik selected as one of the 30 Emerging Photographers to Watch

We’re delighted to announce the latest edition of The 30: New and Emerging Photographers to watch. Delve into portfolios of images by the 2022 honorees and read about their work and careers via the link in our bio.

White has a way of capturing a moment that feels steady and the works that he creates will hold viewers far into the future. He regards his work as a living breathing archive that his decedents will be able to view and interact with. This act of preservation is once more a prominent concept in his practice.

While speaking with White I felt this overwhelming sense of familiarity. Though it may be our Southern upbringings that made me feel connected to him. Nonetheless, his work calls to mind a quote I came across in 2020, “Black People exist in the future.”

Malik’s show at Baxter St at the Camera Club of New York, Vadhu: The Embroidered Bride, is a perfect example of her specific style of photography. “It's a photograph transferred onto fabric and there's women embroidered on top of the image; there's a whole fieldwork that is behind it,” she said.

Her embellished photography prints on fabric are stunning and collaborative, including and amplifying the voices of the Indian women she works with, many of whom have or are experiencing violence close to home. Highly publicized gang rapes in India have occurred before and received media attention, but have not prompted any lasting change in policies or attitudes.

Los Angeles County Museum of Art has acquired the work titled "Family, 2020"  by artist Micaiah Carter for their permanent collection. 

This work will be exhibited in a show titled "Family Album" at the Charles White Gallery in November of 2022.

A portrait of reknown tennis player, Naomi Osaka taken by Micaiah Carter will be featured in an exhibition at the The Naughton Gallery at Queens University in Belfast, Norther Ireland. The exhbitioin will open in July 2021 and run through August 2021.

"Zwischenzeit" (In Between)
March 21 - May 2, 2021

KUNSTWERK presents works from the Klein collection that have never been presented before or that have not been presented for a long time. The selection of pieces is dominated by the pandemic, which has created a year of existential breaks in and brought fundamental changes to everyday life. On the other hand, a departure from familiar ways also offers the opportunity to reconsider what came before and to outline a new life plan through different eyes. Regardless of all the evaluative portents, for many people the prolonged phase of restricted public life has been connected with the experience of being forced to rely upon themselves.

Spandita Malik is a New York-based artist from India, whose work often addresses women’s rights and gendered violence. Her ongoing project, Nā́rī, features embroidered photographic portraits made in collaboration with women in India. Nā́rī is a Sanskrit word meaning woman, wife, female, or an object regarded as feminine, but it can also mean sacrifice. Malik explores these ideas in a series of intricate and intimate portraits, nine of which are on display here.

APERTURE FOUNDATION

“Two things that inspired me within my work...have been my family and my family legacy,” explains fashion photographer Micaiah Carter, whose central inspiration comes from his father, a retired Air Force Sergeant who came of age in the ‘70s, a period defined by the “Black is Beautiful” movement and disco. His compositions often evoke the era’s revolutionary aesthetics—exploring the ways politics, beauty, and fashion influence the Black community today. “I really want it to feel free to what our imagination can be and what we can be. Breaking the barriers of what Blackness is and making it feel like we’re people versus a trend.”

Carter's work appears in The New Black Vanguard, and has also been featured in TIME, King Kong, Wonderland, Adweek, and Cultured magazine, among others.

By Jennifer Nelson, WTP Feature Writer

SPANDITA MALIK, an artist from India who recently graduated from Parsons School of Design with an MFA in Photography has created some of the most powerful portraits of women I have ever seen. In her new series, titled Nā́rī (Sanskrit for woman, wife, female or an object regarded as feminine – also meaning sacrifice), Malik takes portraits of women in India and prints them on fabric from their various regions. She then asks them to embroider on their own portraits, giving them no guidelines as to what they can or cannot embroider.

"Micaiah’s portraits are sincere, dignified representations of the sitters while staying true to his distinctive aesthetic – a modern day combination of Roy DeCarava’s poetic, lyrical, emotional photographs – and the proud, regal and formal portraits by Harlem Renaissance photographer, James Van Der Zee – all of them achingly beautiful."

- Sarah Hasted

To celebrate her new representation of Micaiah Carter, acclaimed art advisor Sarah Hasted speaks with the photographer about his lyrical portraits of celebrities and everyday people.

"The first time I saw the photography of Brooklyn based artist Michiah Carter in the fall of 2016 at Parsons School of Design…I knew he was going to be successful. A self described recluse, he was not social in college, he just put his head down and quietly got to work. Mentoring and guiding him through his senior year was one of the true joys of my long teaching career. The unique gift that 30 years of experience in the art world and 16 years teaching at one of the most prestigious art schools in the world has given me, is the ability to spot artistic talent and potential - immediately."

- Sarah Hasted

Close presents 120 portraits of the world’s most famous and influential people across the arts and entertainment industries, politics, business and sport—from Julia Roberts and Adele, to Frank Gehry and Marina Abramović, Barack Obama, Julian Assange and Roger Federer. Between 2005 and 2018 Schoeller photographed his subjects, in his words “to create a level platform, where a viewer’s existing notions of celebrity, values, and honesty are challenged.” Schoeller realized this goal by subjecting his sitters to equal technical treatment: each portrait is a close-up of a face with the same camera angle and lighting. The expressions are consistently neutral, serious yet relaxed, in an attempt to tease out his subjects’ differences and capture moments “that felt intimate, unposed.” Schoeller’s inspiration for Close was the water tower series of Bernd and Hilla Becher, his ambition to adapt their systematic approach to portraiture. Amidst Schoeller’s famous subjects are also some unknown and unfamiliar ones, a means to comprehensively make his project an “informal anthropological study of the faces of our time.”

- Sarah Hasted

The new portraits, (most have never been seen, exhibited or sold before), were taken between 2005 and 2018, and are included in Martin's soon to be released monograph titled, Close (Steidl, 2018). Close features 120 portraits of the world's most famous and influential people across the arts and entertainment industries, politics, business and sports. The new work and book are cause for celebration and a true milestone moment for the artist, spanning 14 years of his illustrious career.

With dozens of exhibitions under his belt, including one at the Corcoran Museum in Washington D.C., and notable New York galleries, like Laurence Miller Gallery, his work has been recognized and collected by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Sir Elton John Collection, Yale University, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston and the Progressive Collection to name a few.

Sarah is one of those great women who always knows how to make you feel good. She's charming, and has a warm spirit that is uplifting and extremely generous.  Beyond her charm and quiet strength, she has an in depth knowledge of beauty and an exquisite taste for art. 

Sarah is a Part-time Assistant Professor at the Parsons School of Design and dedicates a significant portion of her time to the non-profit, Moving Mountains, where she serves as the President of the Board.

Sarah wears our hand embroidered silk capelet and custom print floral maxi skirt.

Part Time Faculty Member Sarah Hasted has recently published her interview with Manuel Knapp titled: “STRINGING THE ART WORLD ALONG: Art Dealer SARAH HASTED Interviews German Artist MANUEL KNAPP”. You can read the introduction to the interview below and watch a video of audio excerpts.

"Manuel Knapp's artworks have been acquired by private and public art collectors, and the permanent collections of some of the most prestigious private museums in the world, Kunstwerk: Sammlung Klein and the Museum Ritter:Sammlung Marli Hoppe Ritter, and the Collection Pforzheim, additionally, he has been commissioned to do site specific works, and his art career is just beginning.

Perhaps I am attracted to Manuel's intricate and meticulously hand woven works because they remind me of the American Indian textiles that I grew up with in New Mexico, or simply because they are a perfect combination of what happens when organic materials meet an obsessive mind. Whatever the reason for the attraction, the works are undeniably magnetic."

"Everyone should care about art. Art is a reflection of what is going on in the world. Art is a very powerful tool, maybe even more powerful than politics. It makes people think, and inspires people to change things for the better. Art brings people together.

From Lyric Opera:

Rodgers and Hammerstein's Carousel at Lyric is the most eagerly anticipated musical event of the spring season. This brand-new production is helmed by eminent director/choreographer Rob Ashford and features the Lyric debuts of conductor David Chase (a New York favorite and longtime collaborator of Ashford's) and artist Paolo Ventura as set designer, plus costumes from Catherine Zuber, the acclaimed designer who has won multiple Tony Awards and who costumed Ashford's delightful Barber of Seville in Lyric's 2013-14 season.

Hasted Kraeutler's artist Kwang Young Chun will exhibit a new monumental sculpture in Frontiers Reimagined, A Collateral Even of the 56th International Art Exhibition of la Biennale di Venezia, curated by Sundaram Taore and Marius Kwint.

From Frontier's Imagined:

The phenomenon of globalization, where cultures are colliding and melding as never before, offers rich and complex sources of inspiration for artists. Frontiers Reimagined examines the results of these cultural entanglements through the work of forty-four painters, sculptors, photographers and installation artists who are exploring the notion of cultural boundaries. These emerging and established artists—who come from a vast geographical landscape stretching from the West to Asia to Africa—share a truly global perspective, both in their physical existence, living and working between cultures, and their artistic endeavors. Each demonstrates the intellectual and aesthetic richness that emerges when artists engage in intercultural dialogue.
 

From press release:

20 Years Retrospective exhibited at the Oriente Foundation (Fundacao Oriente) in Macao will include:

In his earlier work on the subject of social exclusion Olaf was deliberately disturbing with the intention of raising awareness and he was dedicated towards exploring issues of class, race, sexual taste, beliefs, habits and grace. In the series Rain (2004), Hope (2005), Grief (2007) and Fall (2008) Olaf challenges the notion of domestic bliss. Dusk (2009) and Dawn (2010) show how culture can become repression, despite a beautiful appearance. A similar disengagement takes place in Olaf's Hotel (2010) series in which he explores the subtle range of detached melancholic emotions in dimly-lit exquisitely furnished timeless hotel rooms.

Hasted Kraeutler's Jean-Paul Goude's photograph Twins, New York, 1979 will be exhibited in Icon(s) at Maison Particuliére art center in Brussels, Belgium, from April 23 - July 5, 2015.

From Maison Particuliére's press release:

Emblematic figure, venerated image, status of an idol or a powerful mental representation – an icon embodies the deep soul of an era, its timeless character.

Interpreting our times and questioning the semantic function of the icon, this exhibition aims to present and highlight the confrontations and analogies between contemporary and ancient icons.

These icons are an endless source of inspiration for contemporary artists, who reinterpret and reclaim them to create new images, new icons – while being iconoclastic.

An Albert Watson Retrospective will be exhibited at the Multimedia Art Museum in Moscow beginning from February 28 through May 10, 2015.

From Gallery Baton:

Gallery Baton is pleased to showcase the third solo exhibition of Paolo Ventura (b. 1968) Short Stories from February 4th to March 6th at the Apgujeong exhibition space.

The artist's new body of work in this exhibition, Short Stories is a series of images consisting of listed stories that resemble the structure of short story books. A notable characteristic of show stories is that the artist along with his identical twin brother Andreas Ventura (b. 1968) and his son appears as the main protagonists in every story. 

Julian Faulhaber's exhibition Corona will be exhibited at L.A. Galerie from January 31st through March 28, 2015

From L.A. Galerie:

Corona, Julian Faulhaber’s new photographic series made in Cairo, was inspired by the large illuminated advertising panels throning high above the city’s traffic arteries.

In the Paint: Basketball in Contemporary Art

January 22 –March 29, 2015

The exhibition will feature artworks in a variety of media that explore the world of basketball.  Concepts of performance, competition, branding, and spectacle are central to the work of contemporary artists who engage with the sport as subject matter.  Their work reveals structural similarities between the spheres of athletics and art, where athletes and artists alike are constantly engrossed in practice, promotion, and play to refine their skills and dominate their chosen fields.

Reviewed in the New York Times, the newly released Taschen epynonymous book of photographs of the Rolling Stones, features photographs by Hasted Kraeutler's Albert Watson, along with Annie Leibovitz, Ethan Russell, David Bailey, Gered Mankowitz and Anton Corbijn.

“It speaks to a level of patience that people don’t seem to have any more,” said Sarah Hasted, Mr. Olaf’s New York dealer, of the film’s conceit. “Maybe it’s due to social media and technology and hundreds of TV channels, but a lot of the time people just react. It’s very hard to capture that emotional state right before you react.” - Sarah Hasted about Erwin Olaf's exhibition at her gallery in the Wall Street Journal

Hasted Kraeutler invites you to join us on Saturday December 13, 2014 at 2 p.m. for a guided gallery tour with Martin Schoeller of his current exhibition, Portraits.

For this week’s issue of TIME, photographer Martin Schoeller traveled from New York to photograph Taylor Swift for our cover. The location? Forest Hills, Tennessee near the star’s adopted base of Nashville. The studio? Swift’s family home.

Hasted Kraeutler's artist Jean-Paul Goude shoots the cover of Paper Magazine with Kim Kardashian. He recreates one of his most famous images of Carolina Beaumont from 1976.

From Paper Magazine:

For our winter issue, we gave ourselves one assignment: Break The Internet. There is no other person that we can think of who is up to the task than one Kim Kardashian West. A pop culture fascination able to generate headlines just by leaving her house, Kim is what makes the web tick.

We tapped legendary French photographer Jean-Paul Goude to recreate his iconic "Champagne Incident" shot (an image also known as Carolina Beaumont, New York for the name of the model and the location in which it was taken) and all we can say about the images inside, which we'll be releasing this Thursday, is...holy fucking shit. 

Book launch for Erwin Olaf's latest monograph, Erwin Olaf : Vol II (Aperture, 2014) at Rijksmuseum Amsterdamn. 

Erwin Olaf's latest monograph Erwin Olaf Volume II (Aperture, 2014) to be released October 31, 2014.

From Aperture: 

Erwin Olaf’s approach to storytelling is uniquely evocative and enticingly ambiguous. According to critic Francis Hodgson, Olaf’s images “lead us to a Stimmung (a sense of atmo­sphere) which is broad enough to repay many second readings of the pictures and so keep us viewers interested.”

In this presentation of his most recent work, Olaf expands on his established style of highly polished and stylized color studio images to include a series drawn from his sculptural video installation, Keyhole; a group of black-and-white images he has exhibited as carbon prints; and photographs created on location in Berlin—a departure from the constructed mise-en-scènes of earlier work produced in his Amsterdam studio.

Erwin Olaf: Volume II showcases the artist at the height of his powers as an artisan of atmosphere and a craftsman who uses high polish to both perverse and seductive effect.

Nathan Harger's photograph, Untitled (Overpass), Queens, New York, 2007, will be exhibited in the upcoming exhibition, “American Scene Photography: Martin Z. Margulies Collection" at Nova Southeastern University Museum of Art Fort Lauderdale. His work will be exhibited alongside works from 20th century photography masters such as Walker Evans, Lewis Hine, Dorothea Lange, William Eggleston, Lee Friedlander, Weegee, Gregory Crewdson, Ed Ruscha, Alec Soth and Hank Willis Thomas. The exhibition opens on October 30, 2014 and will run through March 22, 2015. 

Erwin Olaf – Karussell

25 October 2014 – 1 February 2015

The comprehensive, large-scale exhibition of Erwin Olaf, Dutch photo artist and experimental film-maker can be seen for the first time in Hungary in MODEM. The centre will introduce a representative photo and video selection from the artist whose works were represented in several exhibitions and who is also known as the designer of the Dutch Euro coin.

Olaf’s works with their perfect compositions, scenic and striking design vividly capture the essence of our everyday life. His unconventional style never fails to deliver dramatic visual and emotional impact. Most of his images are made in his large studio in Amsterdam, assisted by a host of decorators, make-up artists and hair stylists. The set up interiors present a slice of the real world. Olaf prefers his own dream-world to the real one; he translates the happenings of the external world and the taboos of society to his unique visual language. His photos implicitly visualises the unspoken, the overlooked, that typically resists easy documentation. At the first glance, Olaf seems to act more like a stage director than a photographer, every image is as carefully blocked as a film sequence.

Michael Benson releases a new book Cosmigraphics (Abrams, 2014).

From Abrams:

Michael Benson tells the thrilling story of the discovery and description of the universe in a new way. Selecting artful and profound illustrations and maps, many hidden away in the world’s great science libraries and virtually unknown today, he chronicles more than 1,000 years of humanity’s ever-expanding understanding of the size and shape of space itself. He shows how the invention of the telescope inspired visions of unimaginably distant places and explains why today we turn to supercomputer simulations to reveal deeper truths about space-time.

Cosmigraphics explores the visual side of our great­est imaginative achievement as a species: the unveiling of a vast universe that is largely invisible to our senses. It will be a revelation to space-struck Earthlings, art lovers, and readers interested in the history of science, the visualization of information, graphic design, and mapping.

Sarah isn’t the sort of woman you forget. She’s like a lioness, wearing her ambition on her sleeve. She has a huge love for photography and, it seems, real guts. She welcomes me into one of the four rooms of her enormous gallery on 24th Street in Chelsea. Two chairs have been brought in, placed underneath Pierre Gonnord’s unflinching portrait of Konstantina. Around us the gallery is alive, breathing, moving about…. “Sarah, what was your first experience with photography ? The very first ?” “Oh, well, that’s easy….”

Landscape photography has traveled far from its origins in the picturesque or pastoral. It is at the cutting edge of contemporary image-making with leading photographers creating work that transcends definitions of “art” or “documentary.” This is the first truly international survey of a vibrant, burgeoning field of photography, its masterful image-makers, and their work.
William A. Ewing has selected more than 230 photographs by over 100 photographers, ranging from renowned figures such as Susan Derges, Edward Burtynsky, and Simon Norfolk, to younger rising stars including Pieter Hugo, Olaf Otto Becker, and Penelope Umbrico. Each of them represents an individual viewpoint of a shared concern for our changing landscape and environment.

Odd Volumes: Book Art from the Allan Chasanoff Collection
Friday at Yale University Art Gallery

November 7, 2014–Sunday, February 1, 2015

Drawn from a major collection given to the Gallery by Allan Chasanoff, B.A. 1961, Odd Volumes showcases a selection of experimental and innovative works of book art from the 1960s to the present.

Featuring approximately 100 works by more than 80 artists, including acclaimed figures such as Olafur Eliasson, Yoko Ono, and Dieter Roth, this exhibition offers a rare opportunity to discover the world of book art. The exhibition is produced in collaboration with Artspace, a nonprofit arts organization in New Haven’s 9th Square.

21_21 DESIGN SIGHT holds an exhibition titled "Image-Makers", inviting Hélène Kelmachter, curator and expert of Japan-France cultural exchange, as exhibition director.
To invent a world of images and fantasy, to cross diverse fields of creation and then to drive people elsewhere far from here while telling them about the world of today... Sharing such a vision, image-makers in Japan and abroad gather in this exhibition to reveal their extraordinarily visionary works.

Jean-Paul Goude, known as an outstanding image-maker, has always been redesigning, metamorphosing and enchanting the world since the 1970's in his capacity as creator of advertising images, illustrator, designer and inventor of dreams and hybrid artworks. His sophisticated but powerful images have become icons and his singular aesthetics have been recognized throughout the world, influencing countless numbers of creators.

The exhibition also has other participants who are all working in the same image-maker spirit as Goude: Jun Miyake, Robert Wilson, David Lynch, Noritaka Tatehana and Photographer Hal. Their works - photographs, drawings, video installations and kinetic sculptures - as well as their creation processes, which have close links with the worlds of fashion, performance, design and cinema, will provide visitors with multiple perspectives, enabling them to embark on a journey into an imaginary world in a moment.

There should be no definitions for design and art; there is a real need for unconventional ideas free from worn-out methods of expression and beyond the boundaries of disciplines. This is the way to enable world-shakingly fascinating works to see the light of day, which broaden horizons and break down barriers between fields, is it not? Demonstrating that any classification is unnecessary for creations, the exhibition "Image-Makers" certainly offers visitors an evocative experience, awaking a sense of wonder and innocent feelings of joy that they used to find as a child.

In conjunction with his upcoming exhibition ,The Only Way Is Up, Awol Erizku releases an eponymous mixtape with DJ Kitty Ca$h.

Erwin Olaf, Choreography of Emotions
Exhibition Opening April 24th, 2014

The exhibition of Erwin Olaf, one of the most important Dutch photographers and ‘Artist of the Year 2014’ according to the Dutch foundation Week for Arts, for the first time brings to the Tri-city his interesting and, for some, controversial art. A journalist by profession, an advertising photographer and artist by choice, Olaf masterfully combines the world of mainstream with high art. Boldly and often somewhat perversely, he plays a game with both the viewer of the exhibition and the consumer of the advertised product. In his art projects, he speaks of extreme emotions, sexuality, and artificiality of the world, yet without abandoning humour or the grotesque. His works are characterised by sophisticated elegance and pragmatism; the intricate stage designs which he creates for individual cycles do not leave room for accident. Thus, the models are more like actors in these conceptualised performances, like protagonists of the artist’s stories.

DIE GALERIE is pleased to present the first joint exhibition of the Italian brothers, Andrea & Paolo Ventura – Dreams.
The twins were born in 1968 in Milan and shared a childhood marked by the stories about the Second World War told by their grandmother, and the military relics that could be found buried beneath the surface of the idyllic Italian countryside. Since then, the brothers have shared a fascination with the past of their homeland, a fascination which even today germinates within their heads into individual fantasy worlds that flow into their artwork. One special shared trait is the great interest in costumes, as costumes alone are able, according to Paolo Ventura, "to define a person in appurtenance, rank, time, geography or ethnicity."
Paolo Ventura, who studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan from 1989-91, quickly realized that photography was his medium of preference. His brother Andrea, in turn, began making his name as an illustrator and classical painter. In 1991, the brothers set up ateliers in New York and Brooklyn; their work is now found in major international collections and they have had solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe, Asia and the USA.

Event will be held at the Guggenhiem Museum on April 26th, 2014 at 1:30pm.

Held as part of Carrie Mae Weems LIVE: Past Tense/Future Perfect, this discussion features practitioners from the fields of visual arts, literature, fashion, and education whose work focuses on questions of image and identity. The photographer, curator, author, and educator Deborah Willis, a 2000 MacArthur Fellow, leads the conversation with Michaela Angela Davis, Awol Erizku, Gerard Gaskin, Sandra Jackson-Dumont, Maaza Mengiste, and Richard J. Powell.

This program will be livestreamed at guggenheim.org/live.

The Palais für aktuelle Kunst/Kunstverein Glückstadt presents a solo exhibition of Andreas Gefeller's works.

For the first time, works from the artist's series Soma, Supervisions, The Japan Series and Blank can be seen in one exhibition.
 

Through May 25, 2014, the Théâtre de la Photographie et de l’Image in Nice will present the exhibition Une Introspection by Jean-Paul Goude. As Alain Sayag points out in introduction to the event, “this exhibition only makes sense as a narrative… It is indeed an ‘introspection’ because every Jean-Paul Goude exhibition is a personal narrative. Not because his life is ‘like a novel’ (as the trite expression has it), but because the path he has taken is exemplary of its time.” With 236 photographs and a film made specifically for this exhibition, this exhibition differs from previous ones. Perhaps because of its layout or the environment, it seems to give the photographs a more prominent place.

The 52-minute recreates the world and style of Goude’s multifaceted body of work. He has expressed himself through photography, film, drawing, image doctoring, music, filmmaking, events, posters and video. I hope he won’t hold it against us if we overlook a few fantasies the world that Edgar Morin first described as “feeling” before inventing the term “Goudemalion” to refer to this “manipulator” behind Grace Jones, the “Style Beur” and the “Kodakettes.”

For the past thirty years, the characters created by Jean-Paul Goude, says Alain Sayag, “continue to undermine the rules of representation… They are now a part of our Pantheon.” The exhibition in Nice reminds of these timeless icons, reflections of an era.

Gallery Baton presents “Supervisions & Beyond”, the first solo exhibition in Asia of German photographer Andreas Gefeller (b. 1970) from February 19th to March 27th at the Apgujung exhibition space.

Hasted Kraeutler's Marc Dennis is exhibiting in Cat Art Show Los Angeles with his painting A Great Big Giant World, 2013.

On Saturday, January 25th, 2014, the exhibition will debut with over 70 globally recognized artists, including Tracey Emin, Gary Baseman, FAILE, Shepard Fairey and Ray Caesar.

Spanish artist Rómulo Celdrán (b. 1973) brings exquisite technical skill, a fastidious eye, and a scientific attention to detail to both his mixed-media drawings on board and his larger-than-life sculptures of quotidian objects. His works place him firmly within the trajectory of Photorealism while offering a new take on the fetishistic esthetic of Pop Art, engaging in particular with Claes Oldenburg’s playfully monumental sculptures. But rather than existing exclusively as impersonal objects, Celdrán integrates a subtle human presence—implied, but never obvious—into his drawings and sculptures: the bottle cap has been pried off; the ice cube tray was filled and spilled; the pencil was recently sharpened.

Works by Celdrán are held in esteemed public and private collections such as the Art Collection HypoVereinsbank, Germany; Artphilein Foundation, Liechtenstein; Artium Museum, Spain; Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection, USA; The National Library of Spain, Spain; Biedermann Museum, Germany; Caja Madrid Collection, Spain; Genty Latimer Collection, United
Kingdom, and Testimonio Collection, LaCaixa, Spain.

Hasted Kraeutler's inaugural exhibition begins February 13, and runs through April 12, 2014. 

Due to its popularity, Hasted Kraeutler is extending Marc Dennis' An Artist, A Curator And  A Rabbi Walk Into A Bar... through February 8, 2014. 

It has recently been announced that Erwin Olaf's designs have been selected for the new national side of the Dutch euro coin, in honor of the Netherlands' first king since 1890, Willem-Alexander, who was sworn in April 2013. Olaf's designs are to be released at the beginning of 2014.

Andreas Gefeller has been awarded Silver in the category "Best Still-life and Architecture Photograph of the Year" at the Lead Awards 2013 for his series Blank, published in Vice Magazine No. 7 in 2012.

Hasted Kraeutler's Awol Erizku curates an exhibition of Wayne Lawrence's images, titled Images of Venus from Wayne Lawrence's Orchard Beach: The Bronx Riviera.

The exhibition is on view at the FLAG Foundation from October 5 - December 14, 2013. 

Marc Dennis will be exhibiting at FLAG's 5th Anniversary Group Exhibition, October 5 - December 14, 2013. The 5th Anniversary Group Exhibition includes 15 emerging and established artists, the majority of whom have previously shown at the FLAG.

In conjunction with Louisville’s second Photo Biennial, 21c Museum will present a trio of exhibitions exploring contemporary photography from around the world. The lobby gallery will feature Pierre Gonnord, Portraits. Large-scale, highly detailed, and dramatically lit, with dark, blank backgrounds, Gonnord’s images recall the paintings of Goya, Caravaggio, Velasquez and other old masters. Gonnord’s subjects belong to communities on the margins of conventional society—homeless urban youth, gypsies, tattooed Japanese gang members, miners’ families in rural Spain. Gonnord’s art transforms each into a vision of compelling, unexpected beauty and dignity. Face to face with the viewer, these evocative, eloquent portraits are intended, says the artist, “to narrate unique, remarkable stories about our era. Sometimes hostile, almost always fragile, and very often wounded behind the opacity of their masks, they represent social realities and sometimes another concept of beauty.”
