The exhibition Ricardo Martín. Photographer and Observer recalls an author who marked an epoch

Image
The Kubo-kutxa gallery in San Sebastian is devoting the fourth exhibition within the special programming to mark the year of San Sebastian’s designation as European Capital of Culture to the photographer Ricardo Martín. Comprising 98 black and white images, the exhibition is recalling a photographer whose work is well known because he photographed the city of San Sebastian during one of its golden eras, but who went unnoticed as an author. Curated by Juantxo Egaña, the exhibition was inaugurated on 3 November and will remain open until 22 January, 2017. Thanks to the collaboration of the Filmoteca Vasca (Basque Film Archive), the screening of a short film of the 1920s is included; entitled San Sebastián y Lasarte, it contextualises and completes the exhibition by allowing one to see Martín’s scenes in motion. Ricardo Martín embarked on his professional career in 1914 when the illustrated magazines were at their peak. He set up his photographic studio on Fuenterrabía street in San ...

Australia: Black Eye Gallery presents "In the Time of Hope"

Image
'In The Time of Hope' is a photographic observation of American society on the streets of Los Angeles during the Obama era. On the road and footpaths, Robenstone looks at the visual splendor of the sun bleached and hyper saturated Californian landscape juxtaposed against the deteriorating icons of a once grander America. At times both candid and considered, ‘In The Time Of Hope’ is a complex study of a modern society at battle with itself and it’s staunch values of the past. More information HERE

In Australia: Exhibition "Concrete"

Image
An exhibition by Rhiannon Slatter ‘Concrete’, a series of large scale prints, represents both an extension of and departure from Rhiannon Slatter’s architectural photography. Her fascination with scales of production in industry has led her to study the prefabricated concrete forms which appear frequently in our landscape and continue to multiply - simple, austere shapes which represent large scale, fast construction methods themselves while also serving as containers for industrial production. Where? Black Eye 3/138 Darlinghurst Rd, Darlinghurst NSW 2010, Australia When? Sept 13 - 25

Witkin’s photographs are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles; Victoria and Albert Museum in London, Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, among many others.

Image
Opening on Saturday September 10 - 3PM to 5:30P at Hugues Charbonneau Gallery in Montreal   In 2015 - 2016, I traveled across the desert surrounding the Salton Sea area in California. The works I created while I was there will be presented at Hugues Charbonneau Gallery - from September 3 to October 22, 2016. A few photographs from the Desert Shores series will be exhibited along with a recent 36 minutes video work. It is possible to watch this experimental video on Vimeo's Video On Demand.

It was accidentally created at the beginning of the last century when the Colorado River overflowed its banks. It was a very popular tourist attraction in the 1950s and 1960s, and a paradise for fishing aficionados. Its...

Guilhem de Castelbajac: Ghosts of Glory

Image
EARTH GALLERY is pleased to invite you to discover « GHOSTS OF GLORY », an historical and photographic exhibition dedicated to the artist Guilhem de Castelbajac. The artist Guilhem de Castelbajac is foremost inspired by historical marks and traces, encountered on his peregrinations to forgotten places, ruins, and nebulous streets - all of which have come to symbolize immemorial battlefields. In the enigmatic images formed by these encounters, Castelbajac transports these battle scars and successes into an undatable vortex, where heroes, chimeras, and power structures wash into myth. These myths, which compose contemporary society - a space where digital prolificacy has congealed memory into collective numbness - influence Castelbajac’s desire to create a crystalline defiance of numerical era, a trail left by the invisible. Embracing its prime location, 35 avenue Matignon, in Paris, Earth Gallery represents and exhibits many new and established artists from different cultural backg...
