SAVE THE DATE! The Fine Art & Craft of the Steidl Book

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:00:00 +0100

Lasting ImpressionsThe Fine Art & Craft of the Steidl BookExhibition:Musée de l’ElyséeLausanne, SwitzerlandOpening 17 November, 2009 - 21 February, 2010Everyone knows a beautiful photography book when they see one. But few people realise what a labour of love a fine publication represents, and what diverse and complementary skills combine to ensure the best possible results. For many photographers and curators, the quality of a Steidl publication represents nothing less than the gold standard. It was the intensity of our personal experience of book-making at Steidl, as Musée de l’Elysée curators, which led us to the idea of an exhibition which would unveil the art and craft involved in the production of a Steidl book: the A to Z of the process, from the first rough sketches on a scrap of paper, through the tortured convolutions of “dummy” production, to the (often agonizing) choice of the “right cover” (not to mention the myriad choices of paper, typography and binding). We determined not only to show all these diverse operations in as accessible a manner as possible, but also to give visitors a sense of the experience of daily life at “Steidlville”, where photographers, graphic designers, printers, curators and other photography specialists rub shoulders as they busy themselves with one or another aspect of book production, the combined results of which are destined to expand and enrich the field of art photography.

Torbjørn Rødland Exhibition

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0200

An exhibition of works from Torbjørn Rødland's I Want to Live Innocent will be on show at galerie Rodolphe Janssen, Brussels, Belgium from 8th October.With I Want to Live Innocent, Torbjørn Rødland takes a break from the nomadic lifestyle reflected in his first book and returns to Stavanger, the city he grew up in. He doesn’t revisit old haunts and the images aren’t dominated by the geography of the region but Stavanger becomes a generous theatre for Rødland’s exploration of the incongruous complexities both of his own mind and that of our culture. The centre of Norway’s oil industry, this Protestant coastal city has seen a tremendous economic growth since the late 1960s and Rødland utilises a diverse array of pictorial languages to reflect on the paradoxes which arise with the addition of newfound wealth and materialism.

Mona Kuhn Native Exhibition & Launch Celebration

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:00:00 +0200

Photographed entirely in Brazil, mostly in the rainforest and city surroundings, Native employs the green, gold and pink underlying palette of the country.“This work began as a personal journey. Metaphorically, I was thinking of a bird that flies back into the forest, searching for its childhood nest. The images here are a creation of my abstracted wishes and dreams. As I was searching, instead of home, I found an empty past, just traces of it. Yet, my journey was filled with new friendships, and discoveries made along the way.” (Mona Kuhn)

Clare Strand Exhibition

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 00:00:00 +0200

In our photographically saturated times, Strand’s work remains distinctively new and difficult to place, and yet it is also uncannily familiar, drawing heavily on the genres she investigates. In recent years she has consistently worked in black and white and has exploited the traditional qualities of the fine print to startling effect. It is the wit, the irony and perverse logic of these formidable black and white series, with their continued clashing and mixing up of photographic ideas and sources, that has won her an international reputation.

Robert Frank, to name just one, received groundbreaking impulses from the work of his friend.
