POPCAP '13 at MÃ¼nsterplatz Basel and Museum der Kulturen Basel, June 6 â€“ 23 2013

The awarded works of POPCAP '13 - the piclet.org Prize for Contemporary African Photography, will be exhibited at MÃ¼nsterplatz Basel before and during the worlds leading art fair Art Basel. The exhibition opens on Thursday June 6 at 5 pm in a public event. The artists will be present. The POPCAP '13 winners are:

Anhua Collective, Spain
Dillon Marsh, South Africa
Cristina de Middel, Spain
Alexia Webster, South Africa
Graeme Williams, South Africa

POPCAP is a prize for contemporary African photography that is awarded to photographic portfolios from the African continent or portfolios dealing with the African diaspora. The approximately 360 applications were reviewed by 14 internationally-sourced judges, with the winning entries publicly exhibited from June 6 to 23 before and during Art Basel, at PhotoIreland 2013, and Lagos Photo Festival. One winnerâ€™s photographic collection will be presented in European Photography magazine as part of the prize.

The annual competition is open to photographers of any age and descent. Eligible are submissions comprising between 10 and 25 images, representing a body of work and must relate to an African theme. There is no entry fee.

POPCAP was awarded first in 2012, with five winners chosen from 140 submissions by a panel of nine internationally-sourced judges. During the POPCAP â€˜13 exhibitions we will aim to maintain a constant discourse regarding African topics through public events running alongside the exhibition, with the overall objective of enhancing awareness of African themes in the arts. To achieve this we are partnering with Museum der Kulturen Basel, the bblackboxx, No Border Academy, and K'Werk-Bildschule bis 16 for the exhibition in Basel. At the Museum der Kulturen POPCAP '13 PERSPECTIVES is on display, showing works from both K'Werk and bblackboxx, No Border Academy. Due to its extensive application in a day-to-day context, we consider photography to be the ideal medium from which to foster an unhindered exchange of ideas.

Â«ScopophiliaÂ» â€“ Anniversary lecture by Nan Goldin

Tuesday, June 18, 2013, 7.30 p.m.
Fotomuseum Winterthur

After her wonderful exhibition Iâ€™ll be your mirror sixteen years ago Nan Goldin returns to Fotomuseum Winterthur with her latest slideshow Scopophilia, followed by a talk. Vince Aletti wrote in The New Yorker: Nan Goldin â€œphotographed paintings by Delacroix, Corot, ZurbarÃ¡n, and Bronzino, which fed that desire, then paired them with pictures of her friends and lovers, creating startling juxtapositions â€¦ The result is a sensational paean, at once ecstatic and elegiac, to love, sex, and sensuality.â€

Please reserve your seat by sending an email to fotomuseum@fotomuseum.ch (subject Â«Nan GoldinÂ»)

Still Searchingâ€¦ A relational Theory of Photography

The writer, curator, and Associate Professor George Baker is our new blogger on still searching. His first contribution leads us on a wild ride from Zoe Leonard's â€œdark roomâ€ to Jonathan Crary's Techniques of the Observer and Susan Sontag's famous essay â€œIn Plato's Caveâ€. Or in his own words: â€œIn the weeks to come, I will poke and prod at our possibilities for producing a â€˜relationalâ€™ theory of photography, but also such a history of the photograph as well. I will consistently remember where these thoughts beganâ€”next to my dear friend, in the darkness of Zoe Leonardâ€™s camera obscura, pressed upon by the space inside and outside the camera, by the collusion of body and image one found there.â€

Duration of the exhibition:
8. 6. - 1. 9. 2013

For his first extensive solo presentation in Austria, the artist combines a selection of works from recent years with new projects which pinpoint the precarious, controversial and increasingly questioned space of â€œdocumentalityâ€ (Hito Steyerl) of the visual in the world of today. In this respect, the exhibition project focuses on the specific practices and methods in which Sven Johne involves the photographic image in different projects in different places: the claim for reportage, the interest in marginal events, the missing of representation, the gap between text and imageâ€”whereby the artist outlines an essential contribution to the current debate circling around the documentary.

Presentation in the realm of the exhibition opening, 7. 6. 2013

It is local events, moments of stepping out of order, which attract the artistâ€™s attention and from which he builds a mosaic of details. It is under the starry night sky as a metaphor for order and navigation where he staged these incoherent details, like an odyssey that requires cunning to reach oneâ€™s destination. What we get from the laboratory of the neoliberal annihilation of an entire country is only pictures of its night sky and the artistâ€™s anecdotes from his trips. Hence, the future is more than uncertain, and this work presents ambivalent motifs between aberration, hope and salvation.

Vanessa Joan MÃ¼ller: Stephanie Kiwitt
Ã“scar Faria: Heinz Peter Knes
Kolumne: T. J. Demos

Four outstanding representatives of contemporary photographyâ€”Stephanie Kiwitt, Shirana Shahbazi, Heinz Peter Knes, and Wolfgang Tillmansâ€”have provided the thematic framework for the current issue: What can an individual image be, except good?

This rhetorical-critical question repeatedly accompanies us when conceptualising the content of our magazine, where we attempt to foster discourse that clearly extends beyond the individual imageâ€”discourse that instead posits forms of documentation and, also, serial working approaches as the focus of reflection. The aim here is to consistently comprehend photographic practice as a form of critical commentary or as involvement in or visualisation of politics and everyday life.

New Website online!

since 22. 5. 2013

On 22 May 2013 Camera Austriaâ€™s new website went online.
The idea started with a strong desire to better convey how multifaceted our activities are: our homepage now gives a broader overview of current projects, including the magazine Camera Austria International, books from the Edition Camera Austria, exhibitions, and artistsâ€™ editions. What is more, you will find up-to-date information about relevant projects in the field of contemporary photography, as well as an improved menu arrangement. Special attention has been paid to documenting the Camera Austria exhibitions and to presenting contributions to our magazine or available press photos. Also, the display of longer texts is now possible.

The design of the website is oriented to the characteristic elements found in all other Camera Austria print materials, thus rounding out the renewal of the overall presentation, which included the redesign of the magazine, the invitations, and various information folders.
The website is now being expanded step by step to include an online shop, an archive, an online library search, and the Pierre Bourdieu Archive. This will be a comprehensive online archive on contemporary photography, reflecting Camera Austriaâ€™s position as one of the most important international interfaces between photography, art, and society.

Â«saying waterÂ» â€“ A Reading by Roni Horn

Tuesday, May 14 at 7.30 p.m.
Fotomuseum Winterthur

In her monologue â€œsaying waterâ€ the artist Roni Horn offers insights into her world of thoughts. She questions her own work, her spectators and herself by enwrapping her images with a series of literary allusions. Figures like Emily Dickinson, Hank Williams or Martin Heidegger refer to the enduring, to the constants that according to the artist also define water: â€œWater is the master verb, an act of perpetual relation.â€
This anniversary reading to celebrate 20 years of Fotomuseum Winterthur will take place at Bistro George, GrÃ¼zenstrasse 45, entrance fee CHF 18.- / 12.-

Concrete â€“ Photography and Architecture

March 2 â€“ May 20, 2013
Fotomuseum Winterthur (Main Gallery, Gallery, Gallery of Collections)

Architecture has always been an important platform for the frequently heated discussion of ideas and views, zeitgeist and weltanschauung, everyday life and aesthetics. Pictures speak a language of their own. They transform volume into surface; distil matter into forms and signs. Photography shapes architecture, enlarging and reducing it, heightening and shortening it, accentuating it. Photography and architecture confront us on a daily basis, often without our even noticing, and they influence how we think, act and live in subliminal and lasting ways. â€œConcrete â€“ Photography and Architectureâ€œ seeks to approach the singular and complex relationship between architecture and photography in light-hearted, narrative and dialectical ways. The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive book published by Scheidegger & Spiess. More

The Staff of Life. Aerial Photographs by Georg Gerster

15 March â€“ 26 May 2013
Fotostiftung Schweiz

The Swiss photographer Georg Gerster (born 1928 in Winterthur) ranks as one of the worldâ€™s most important exponents of aerial photography. Fifty years after his first photography flight, in Sudan in 1963, the Fotostiftung Schweiz in Winterthur is devoting a monographic exhibition to him. Under the heading â€œThe Staff of Life. Aerial Photographs by Georg Gersterâ€ it addresses the problem of world food, a focal point of his oeuvre. In addition to a number of iconic works, the exhibition will also contain numerous hitherto unpublished photographs. More

ALSO ON VIEW

Picture Windows: Gideon Mendel
ICP's Picture Windows is a new series of site-specific installations from a global selection of contemporary artists. In conjunction with the ICP Triennial, a large-scale installation of Gideon Mendel's Drowning World will occupy the museum's 43rd street windows. Drowning World is an ongoing global photography and video project about flooding. Since 2007, Mendel has photographed in the UK, India, Haiti, Pakistan, Australia, Thailand, and Nigeria, focusing on these extreme circumstances as his way of addressing the threat of climate change.

The Company of Colors by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer's interactive installation The Company of Colors features a dozen displays showing real-time camera views of the public constructed out of a variety of color palettes from computer and video-game history. The installation emphasizes the limited range of color rendering possible with computers, including contemporary ones, and the way this limitation shapes styles of representation.

NOT TO MISS

Tim Hetherington's Sleeping Soldiers Installation
On view through May 13 in the School at ICP's pavilion

Tim Hetherington, an ICP faculty member and guest artist, photographed the experience of war from the perspective of the individual. His film Restrepo, which he co-directed with Sebastian Junger about a platoon of soldiers in Afghanistan, was awarded the Grand Jury Prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award in 2011. Through his photographs, writing, and films, he gave us new ways to look at and think about human suffering. On April 20, 2011, while covering the conflict in Libya, Hetherington was killed by Libyan forces in a mortar attack on the besieged city of Misrata.

This presentation of Sleeping Soldiers is sponsored by HBO Documentary Films in conjunction with their documentary Which Way is the Front Line from Here? All images courtesy Yossi Milo Gallery, New York.

WE RECOMMEND: FOR THE INTERMEDIATE PHOTOGRAPHER Here and Now: The Essence of Place with Palmer Davis Have you ever taken a picture that didn't live up to the image in your mind's eye? If so, this is the class for you. Photographs of places have the power to transport us. But capturing the essence of a given space can be daunting. It requires keen observation, interpretation, and the ability to conjure an atmosphere that wakens our senses and brings a scene to life. Through discussions, readings, shooting assignments, and critiques, students learn to bridge the gap between intention and results. Students produce a portfolio of photographs that evoke the particular worlds we live in and move through at particular moments in time. All formats are welcome.	Â© Palmer Davis

STUDENTS REFLECT: JHE-MING HSU One-Year Certificate in General Studies 2013 Photography is a very private thing. Even if we are in the same space, or walk on the same street in the same city, we perceive what's around us in our own private way. By sharing our photos we share this perception with everyone. Very often we reveal more than we expect through the photos. People read them in their own private way, too. The One-Year Certificate programs are accepting applications on a rolling admissions basis.	Â© Jhe-Ming Hsu

ICP MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: SUSAN ROSENBERG JONES Individual Member since 2002 What first brought you to ICP and why did you decide to become a member? I had been a fan of ICP for a long time before I became a member. I remember visiting the museum when it was uptown. I can't remember what in particular prompted me to join, but I believe in supporting our arts institutions in general. What has been your favorite ICP moment, class, program, exhibition, or photographer? I have enjoyed so many exhibits. A couple that come to mind are Elliott Erwitt and Weegee. I try and attend the openings whenever possible, as I usually run into people I know. Then, later I'll revisit the museum to spend more time with the photographs. I've been taking continuing education classes at ICP since 2009. I love the school, and have enjoyed introductions to the work of many photographers through the lecture series. I also love the classes. I have studied with Karen Marshall, Amy Arbus, Martine Fougeron, Natan Dvir, and other excellent teachers. The classes are really great as is the community of the school.	Â© Kip Peticolas
If you could meet a photographer, who would it be? I've been privileged to meet several contemporary photographers whose work I admire. If I could time travel, I would love to meet Helen Levitt. Do you collect photography? Do you have any notable works in your collection? I do collect photography and have a few pieces by people such as Ann Woo, Katina Houvouras, Manjari Sharma, and Dina Kantor. Do you take photographs? If so, what type of photographs? Yes. I love shooting portraits and I work in a social documentary style. Currently I'm working on a project exploring daily life in a high-rise building in Tribeca. The Member Spotlight is a new opportunity for members to share their most memorable experience at the ICP. If you would like to submit your story, send us an email at membership@icp.org.

STAFF PICK: A PERIOD OF JUVENILE PROSPERITY BY MIKE BRODIE
by Sarah Goldberg, Senior Sales Associate, ICP Store
Untrained photographer Mike Brodie is a much welcomed breath of fresh air in the art world. His long awaited first monograph, A Period of Juvenile Prosperity, was recently released by Twin Palms Press. Brodie started making images in 2004 upon discovering a Polaroid camera in the backseat of a friend's car. With no intentions of being a photographer he took off across the US by train, eventually picking up a 35mm camera to document his transient community and their experiences along the way. The subsequent body work, shot across 50,000 miles of locomotive travel between 2006â€“2009, was created out of desire, not obligation. It is undoubtedly clear the moments were fully lived before they were photographed. Delivering an authenticity so rare in photography, Brodie's images will stand the test of time. In the way Nan Goldin's Ballad of Sexual Dependency lives on its its unapologetic, brutal honesty in documenting a time and place from the viewpoint of an active participant, Brodie's work delivers a similar dose of grit and realness. With the color palette of an Andrew Wyeth painting and a humble, sensitive eye, Brodie bares his own soul alongside his subjects.

DREAM CITY is an exhibition project about amusement parks in diverse places in the world by photographer Anoek Steketee and writer Eefje Blankevoort (the Netherlands). During a trip through Iraqi-Kurdistan in 2006, they found themselves in Duhok, an unexciting town near the border with Turkey and Syria. Reports of attacks, kidnappings and sectarian violence filled the newspapers on a daily basis. Meanwhile Kurds, Arabs and American soldiers, Christians and Muslims, Shiites and Sunnis; segments of the Iraqi population that were submerged in a deadly struggle outside the gates, amiably rubbed shoulders in Dream City. The amusement park in Iraq has been the starting point of a journey through the constructed world of amusement parks.

Between 2006 and 2010, Anoek Steketee and Eefje Blankevoort visited amusement parks in Iraq, Rwanda, Lebanon, Israel, the Palestinian Territories, Colombia, Indonesia, China, Turkmenistan and the USA. Although the cultural, sociological and political context of each place differs, the parksâ€™ uniform appearance forms the universally recognizable backdrop. With their twinkling lights and rides in a fairy-tale setting, the parks all derive their value from the universal and timeless human need to escape from daily reality and take mind off unsolved problems. At the same time, the location and theme of a park say a great deal about the political situation in the country. Dream City, Iraq, for example, has been built on the grounds of a former military base for Saddam Husseinâ€™s troops. The park became the ultimate symbol of freedom from and victory over Saddam Hussein.

The exhibition combines documental images of everyday life of amusement parks and portraits of random visitors with stories. The collaboration of photographer and writer has resulted in an original, conceptual research that explores social and political aspects of life in different parts of the world through the images of constructed reality, in a nevertheless realistic and convincing way.

DREAM CITY is created in cooperation with FOTODOK (Utrecht, Netherlands), Prospektor production company (Amsterdam, Netherlands) and the Nederlands Fotomuseum in Rotterdam.

Spectacle | Call for EntriesPosted on Mai 2, 2013 by ACMV

ACMV is now accepting photographic submissions based under the broad theme “Spectacle”.

Selected submissions will be presented in a one-time public projection at the Belfast Crescent Arts Centreduring the opening weekend of the International Belfast Photo Festival 2013 in Northern Ireland, taking place this June.

–

About the themeThroughout history ‘Spectacle’s created visually stimulating and enthralling trappings that continue to capture the attention of mankind, manifesting in many forms both natural and man-made.

Our broad definition includes spectacle in otherness, suffering, death, beauty, decay and subjects that are enlivened by the act or process of photography itself, as well as our desire for the visually enticing image, that moment which excites, exhilarates and entices the curiosity of the viewer.

Recognising that ‘Spectacle’ sits at the very heart of photography’s identity and history, we invite photographers to submit photographic projects that interrogate, challenge and extend notions of visual spectacle.

The second edition of Belfast Photo Festival aims to explore the manner in which photographers have photographed ‘Spectacles’ in their many forms, seizing the opportunity to record their intense visual impact, demonstrating the fundamental relationship between the ‘Spectacle’, its viewer and photography itself.

We welcome entries from professional, student and amateur photographers both nationally and internationally, being keen to support all disciplines of photographic practice.
