Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize 2024

  • The Photographers' Gallery (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The international artists shortlisted are: VALIE EXPORT, Gauri Gill & Rajesh Vangad, Lebohang Kganye and Hrair Sarkissian.  

This year’s shortlisted artists all show the power of photography to explore, investigate and interrogate our world. 

See the exhibition bringing together work by all shortlisted artists, from 23 February to 2 June 2024. The winner of the £30,000 prize will be announced on 16 May 2024, with the other finalists each receiving £5,000.  

VALIE EXPORT (b. 1940, Austria) became notorious from the late 1960s for her radical performances and critical examination of women’s role in society and the arts. Photography has played a pivotal role in her work, from documentation to multimedia installations and single works. 

Through fusing photography and Warli painting, photographer Gauri Gill (b. 1970, India) and painter Rajesh Vangad (b. 1975, India) collaboratively explore how viewers ascribe meaning to a place and how the act of viewing itself creates complicity. They encourage viewers to explore the hidden, elusive layers that exist beneath the surface. 

Lebohang Kganye’s (b. 1990, South Africa) photographic projects cross personal and collective histories. Her skilful blending of images and words allows her to navigate the complexity of the South African experience, opening new ways of understanding and contributing to the process of decolonisation. 

Hrair Sarkissian’s (b. 1973, Syria) conceptual photography focuses on deeply personal narratives that reflect the complexity of larger historical and social issues. Large-scale photographs, film and installations all aim to evoke emotional experiences, foster awareness and a sense of solidarity.

Exhibition | Cindy Sherman Ensor 2024

For almost 50 years, the subject of fashion has been a constant in the work of US artist Cindy Sherman. The exhibition Anti-Fashion focuses on this close engagement with fashion and approaches her photographic oeuvre from a new perspective.

In so doing, it sheds light on the interplay between art and fashion. For Sherman uses her numerous commissions from magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar as well as her close collaborations with renowned designers as a constant source of inspiration.

At the same time, the artist influences and stimulates the fashion world. Through the medium of photography, fashion and fine art have always been in dialogue – but Cindy Sherman goes further; she interrogates the system that supports fashion, its glossy surface and its dark underbelly. Her interest in the fashion world is marked by a subversive attitude towards all that it stands for. Thus, her photographs show characters that are anything but desirable and run counter to the conventions of haute couture and the prevalent notions of beauty.

Last, but by no means least, the exhibition reveals the subject of fashion as the starting point for the artist’s critical investigation of gender, stereotypes, and age. The wide range of Sherman’s characters highlights the artificiality and changeability of identity, which – now more than ever – is shown to be selectable, (self-)constructed and fluid.

The exhibitions is part of ENSOR 2024. In 2024, it will be 75 years since we said goodbye to James Ensor. Nevertheless, the avant-garde artist lives on in Antwerp by means of the largest Ensor collection in the world. From September 2024 onwards, several Antwerp museums will highlight the artist's oeuvre by holding a series of ambitious exhibitions. The focus will be on Ensor's continued relevance and the exhibitions will cross-pollinate his works with contemporary art, fashion and photography. Given the range of assets Antwerp has to offer year-round, this is very much a perfect match. Discover Ensor from surprising angles, as an innovator and as a game-changer. After all, Ensor is so much more than a painter of masks.

Rotterdam Photo 2024

Imagine: a word that evokes imagination, creativity, and limitless possibilities.

This edition of Rotterdam Photo focuses on the theme ‘Imagine‘ and invites photographers and artists to question and transform our world’s perception with their imagination.

This theme raises the following questions: How does our imagination influence our reality? What possibilities do we find when we open ourselves up to new ideas? What is the role of photography in shaping our understanding of the world around us?

In today’s complex society, we need the imagination more than ever. It can serve as a tool of hope and positivity. Whether that entails the creation of innovative solutions or the stimulation of dialogue on cultural and social issues. It is the creative expressions that often act as a catalyst for change. In moments of uncertainty, turmoil, and chaos, art reminds us of the resilience of the human spirit and the ability to transform the current situation.

As we make our way through the complex dynamics of today’s world, Rotterdam Photo makes space for a platform where imagination, innovation, and critical thinking come together. This year’s edition offers a unique opportunity to dive into the boundless world of imagination. The festival promises to be an absolutely unforgettable experience for photography enthusiasts and anyone looking for new perspectives.

The theme ‘Imagine‘ challenges photographers to go beyond reality and let their imagination run wild – beyond the known boundaries and limitations. Several modern photographers have already embraced this concept. They explore diverse angles such as surrealism, portrait and landscape photography, and the romanticization of the everyday.

The Rotterdam Photo offers viewers the chance to explore a variety of photographic works from around the world, all united under the theme ‘Imagine‘. In submitted works, we see a recurring element of imagination and fantasy, where photographers create new worlds, realities, and stories. Therefore, the theme ‘Imagine’ not only means an artistic concept but is an invitation to give free rein to our own thoughts and associations while viewing these fascinating images.

About Rotterdam Photo:

Rotterdam Photo is an annual photo fair with a festival flair. The event celebrates the spectrum of contemporary photography in all its diversity.

Being part of the Rotterdam Art Week, the event attracts around 10.000 visitors, among whom art lovers, collectors, gallerists, and international art press professionals from different parts of the globe.

We will transform a Willemsplein location in the center of Rotterdam into a street-wise photography village and hub for photography fans, populated by 60+ shipping containers repurposed into exhibition spaces.

In addition to the exhibitions, Rotterdam Photo organizes talks, workshops, and a fringe program with music and digital installations throughout the city. The festival feeling is created thanks to various exhibitions and leisure activities around for all participants. Street vendors, cafes, and restaurants on the festival’s location offer great food and delicious drinks – the public and participants can enjoy the events’ atmosphere, celebrating photography together with us.

Curator Talk: Beyond Here: The Judy and Sidney Zuber Collection of Latin America Photography | Stanford University

  • Cantor Arts Center, Ruth Levison Halperin Gallery (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join Jorge Eduardo Sibaja, Curatorial Assistant, for a tour of our special exhibition: Beyond Here: The Judy and Sidney Zuber Collection of Latin American Photography.

This exhibition features 34 works by Latin American photographers who foreground the figure’s natural capacity for storytelling and craft compelling narratives about the profound changes of the 20th century. This single-gallery exhibition includes work by Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Graciela Iturbide, Flor Garduño, Javier Silva Meinel, and Marta María Pérez Bravo, among others from 10 countries. These artists work across a range of photographic traditions, from studio photography and social documentation to formal modernism and more contemporary experimentations with process and narrative structure. Casting their sitters as agents of history, these photographers reflect each country’s unique history as well as themes that resonate across national boundaries: political revolution and civil unrest, the growth and decline of cities, Indigenous and rural traditions, and the ways these threads are woven together to shape ideas of modern national and personal identity. Drawn from the highly nuanced Spanish phrase “más allá,” the exhibition’s title gestures to the multiplicity of futures referenced in the photographs. The Judy and Sidney Zuber Collection of Latin American Photography is a promised gift to the Cantor Arts Center and will form the foundation of a growing collection of Latin American photography. This exhibition celebrates this transformative promised gift and the establishment of the Zuber Family Art Fund for collecting Latin American photographs at the Cantor.

The 2024 festival presents a dynamic lineup of 28 films including narratives, documentaries, and shorts with screenings at the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center.

Among the oldest and most influential Jewish film festivals worldwide, NYJFF presents the finest documentary, narrative, and short films from around the world that explore the Jewish experience.

The 2024 edition will feature in-person screenings at Film at Lincoln Center’s Walter Reade Theater, 165 West 65th Street. The NYJFF lineup showcases 28 wide-ranging and exciting features, documentaries, and shorts (10 narrative features, 11 documentaries, and seven shorts), including the latest works by dynamic voices in international cinema, as well as the U.S. premiere of a restored 35mm print of a rarely shown 1939 Yiddish classic, Mothers of Today, a domestic melodrama starring 1930s radio star Esther Field as an immigrant widow in New York. 

In the Opening Film, One Life, directed by James Hawes and based on true events, two-time Academy Award winner Sir Anthony Hopkins gives an intensely moving performance as Sir Nicholas Winton, a British stockbroker who during World War II helped Jewish refugee children escape to safety from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. 

In this year’s Centerpiece Film, Valeria Is Getting Married, an acclaimed second dramatic feature by Israeli filmmaker Michal Vinik, the debated ritual of arranged marriages in our contemporary world is explored with sensitivity and complexity. The film focuses on a pair of Ukrainian sisters who come to Israel to start anew only to find themselves questioning their decisions.

The Closing Film, Remembering Gene Wilder, is an enrapturing and heartfelt documentary that takes a close look at the life and career of American original Gene Wilder, beginning with his Jewish upbringing in Milwaukee, including interviews with Alan Alda, Mel Brooks, Carol Kane, Karen Wilder (Gene’s wife), Rain Pryor, and others.

“Almost every week has brought a fresh challenge. The collapsing calendar has broughtus into direct competition with other fairs in New York and Paris; borders have opened, and borders closed; policy has been so mixed, muddled and misleading that planning anything has been recast as a branch of medieval theology. And yet, thanks to the enthusiasmofour audience, the patience of our exhibitors and their artists, the enduring support of our partners Nikon and FT Weekend, several slices of good fortune, and our own resilience and belligerence, we have prevailed.

The Lives of Images Symposium Series

Join Aperture and the International Center of Photography for a two-part online symposium exploring some key issues addressed in the first two volumes of The Lives of Images: An Aperture Reader Series, edited by artist and critic Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa. 

The Lives of Images explores the roles, histories, and contemporary uses of reproducible images in relation to specific grounding themes. To speak of the reproducible image in this moment is to address not only photographs, film, and videos, but screen prints and billboards; GIFs, memes, and emojis—a wide array of technically mediated scripto-visual forms that together constitute and remake both our visual landscape and image economies. The Lives of Images aims to gather together recent and contemporary scholarship that helps to animate and inform a rich dialogue on the role of the image in contemporary culture. 

Hosted by ICP in partnership with Aperture, the symposium will take place over two weeks, (late August/September and November 2021) as a series of public group discussions via Zoom. Each symposium will explore a specific set of contributions and themes arising from one of the first three volumes of the series: Repetition, Reproduction, and Circulation (Vol. 1, September 2021); Analogy, Attunement, and Attention (Vol. 2, November 2021); and Archives, Histories, and Memory (Vol. 3, Spring 2022). Both the series and the symposium will engage theorists, scholars, and artists whose practices move fluidly between a focus on still and moving images. Symposium discussions will range across an array of uses of reproducible images that include, but regularly extend beyond, traditional fine art. 

In each session, Wolukau-Wanambwa and David Campany, managing director of programs at ICP, will serve as interlocutors for two invited guests whose work is either published or discussed in the series. The talks aim to delve in greater depth into these thinkers’ and artists’ contributions, and to provide a space for discussion as to their resonances in artistic practice and social life more broadly.

Schedule for Vol. 1: Repetition, Reproduction, and Circulation

Session 1: Tuesday, August 31, 1:00–2:30 PM ET
Paul Pfeiffer and Jodi Dean on Image Circulation, Capital, and Racial Difference

Session 2: Wednesday, September 1, 1:00–2:30 PM ET

On the occasion of Dawoud Bey: An American Project, photographer Dawoud Bey speaks in dialogue with interdisciplinary artist Torkwase Dyson about the intersections of their artistic practices. In her essay for the exhibition catalogue, Two American Projects, Dyson asks of their shared concerns, “How do we invent new aesthetic forms that are imbued with radical ancestorship and that address our insistence on liberated spatial practice?” Dyson and Bey will speak to these ideas and their ongoing dialogue about materiality and narrative.

The conversation is moderated by Elisabeth Sherman, assistant curator and co-curator of Dawoud Bey: An American Project.

But Still, It Turns Conversations—Curran Hatleberg and Kristine Potter (VIRTUAL)

ICP: July 7, 2021 (6PM – 7PM EST )

Photographers Curran Hatleberg and Kristine Potter discuss myth-making in photography and the draw of the open road to investigate the American landscape in relation to their work on view at ICP in But Still, It Turns: Recent Photography from the World. The artists will be led in conversation by writer, curator, and contributor to the But Still, It Turns catalog, Rebecca Bengel, as they discuss their projects and the exhibition on view at ICP through August 29, 2021.

About the exhibition: Guest curated by photographer Paul Graham, But Still, It Turns features nine contemporary photographers that present images made in the 21st -century United States, working directly from life and reflecting a movement towards a lyrical documentary practice. Extending the tradition of Robert Frank, Walker Evans, Gordon Parks, and Diane Arbus, this work fits a notion of “photography from the world”—photography that resists both narrative arcs and the drama of photojournalism or staged photography, grappling instead with the world as it is, in all its tangle and wonder. The exhibition features work by Vanessa Winship, Curran Hatleberg, Richard Choi, Gregory Halpern, Piergiorgio Casotti and Amanuele Brutti, Kristine Potter, and Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa. Reserve your timed ticket to see the exhibition in person at icp.org/tickets.

Tanisha C. Ford in conversation with Jamel Shabazz

Tuesday, March 30

7:00 p.m. EDT

Aperture and Rockefeller Center are pleased to host a discussion between esteemed photographer Jamel Shabazz and writer Tanisha C. Ford. Since the early 1980s, Shabazz has photographed New York’s street life and hip-hop culture with joy, verve, and style. His work not only captures the essence and pureness of hip-hop culture in New York, but also the deep connections he has with his subjects and community. For this event, Shabazz and Ford will discuss Shabazz’s career, his lasting legacy, how quarantine has given him time to rediscover hidden gems in his archive, and the installation of work at Rockefeller Center through April.

One year after New York City shut down in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Aperture magazine released “New York,” an extraordinary issue honoring the city through photographs and essays by visionary artists and writers, reminding us of how much there is to discover, and relish, when New York comes roaring back. Coinciding with “New York” is a monthlong celebration of NYC at Rockefeller Center featuring a public photography exhibition, virtual talk series, pop-up store and gallery.

Jamel Shabazz (born in Brooklyn, 1960) is best known for his iconic photographs of New York City during the 1980s. A documentary, fashion, and street photographer, he has published ten monographs of his work and contributed to over three dozen other photography books. His photographs have been exhibited worldwide, and his work is housed in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, Studio Museum in Harlem, and Fashion Institute of Technology, New York; National Museum of African American History and Culture, Washington, DC; Gordon Parks Foundation, Pleasantville, New York; and J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. Over the years, Shabazz has instructed young students as part of the Studio Museum in Harlem’s Expanding the Walls project, and Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture’s Teen Curators Program, New York; as well as at the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation, Philadelphia. He is recipient of a 2018 Gordon Parks Foundation Award for his commitment to documentary photography. Shabazz is a member of the photo collective Kamoinge. As an artist, his goal is to contribute to the preservation of world history and culture. Photo by Michael A McCoy

Tanisha C. Ford is a writer, cultural critic, and professor of history at the Graduate Center, The City University of New York. She is author of Liberated Threads: Black Women, Style, and the Global Politics of Soul (2015) and Dressed in Dreams: A Black Girl’s Love Letter to the Power of Fashion (2019), and coauthor (with Deborah Willis) of Kwame Brathwaite: Black Is Beautiful (Aperture, 2019). Ford is cofounder of TEXTURES, a pop-up material culture lab creating and curating content on Black design, material life, and the built environment.

Programming for Aperture’s “New York” issue is made possible by and in collaboration with Rockefeller Center.

Andy Mattern | Average Subject Medium Distance – Virtual Artist Talk/Reception

Andy_Mattern-Average_Subject_Medium_Distance-4200-1399x2048.jpg

We are pleased to have Andy Mattern in the Griffin Zoom Room on Friday March 12th for a conversation about his creative path, and his project opens in a new windowAverage Subject / Medium Distance on the walls of the Griffin Gallery from 20 February – 26 March, 2021.

Join us Friday night March 12th at 7pm for this engaging talk about creativity and photography.

This event is FREE to Griffin Members. Not a Member? Get more opens in a new windowinformation about our Membership levels.

About Average Subject / Medium Distance – 

The project Average Subject / Medium Distance is a meta commentary on the rules and tools of photography inspired by the once-ubiquitous “Kodaguide.” From about 1940 and into the mid-1980s, Kodak produced hundreds of thousands of these portable paper guides meant to help photographers take better pictures. They are peculiar and contradictory objects. On the one hand, they are visually inviting with bright colors and well-intentioned instructions that promise desirable results. But, on the other hand, they are extremely dense with information and require significant attention to comprehend and apply in the moment, thereby acting against their intended function. I wanted to see what lay beneath their recommendations, so I collected as many guides as possible from as many eras as I could find, and photographed each one individually. I then digitally covered up all the example images, technical numbers, and explanatory text by copying and pasting dust and scratches from the objects themselves. Rather than use Photoshop to seamlessly erase this information, I deliberately left obvious traces of my intervention. In each composition, only a single word remains in its original location — correct — light — shadows — appropriate — desire — etc. These words are intended as springboards for interpretation that point not only to the conventions of the medium, but also to the emotional underpinnings embedded in the act of image making. 

About Andy Mattern – 

Andy Mattern’s recent work engages photography’s aesthetic conventions and physical materials as subject matter. With wry humor and loving critique, he deconstructs the tools of the medium to seek new visual territory. His work has been exhibited at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the New Mexico Museum of Art in Santa Fe, Silver Eye Center for Photography in Pittsburgh, Photographic Center Northwest in Seattle, the Lawndale Art Center in Houston, Candela Gallery in Richmond, Virginia, and the Photographic Centre Peri in Turku, Finland, among many other venues. Mattern has received awards for his work including the triennial Art 365 Grant and Individual Artist’s Fellowship from the Oklahoma Visual Arts Coalition as well as the Artist Initiative Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. Since 2015, he has served as Assistant Professor of Photography and Digital Media at Oklahoma State University where he initiated the first photography program in the art department’s history. His work is held in the permanent collections of SFMOMA, the New Mexico Museum of Art, the Tweed Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts-Houston. His photographs have been reviewed in publications such as ARTFORUM, The New Yorker, Camera Austria, and Photo News. He holds an MFA in Photography from the University of Minnesota and a BFA in Studio Art from the University of New Mexico. His work is represented by Elizabeth Houston Gallery in New York.

Artist’s Talk: Harvey Stein

Two-Andean-Women-Andean-Peaks-Peru--2048x1365.jpg

HARVEY STEIN will show and discuss photographs made over 45 years of consistent and impressive work. Harvey is well known for his strong, close-up and sensitive portraiture of people from around the world. For him, photography is a way to learn about life, living and self. “Mostly I do long-term projects that are of personal interest. I photograph situations, people and places I don’t know and need to learn about. Photography is the most meaningful thing I could ever do. It is my way of saying, ‘I am here’ and my way of sharing some of my life and understanding of the world with others.” In this talk, Harvey will show his early portraits of identical twins in their often-identical environments to images from his most recent book of close-up portraits taken at the Mardi Gras to his rarely seen, stunning body of portraits that represents his most experimental work. Harvey will talk about the role of collaboration, influence, spontaneity, motivation, inspiration and ways to maintain a creative drive and output given issues of changing cultural tastes and styles. Join the Griffin and Harvey for a stimulating and thought-provoking evening exploring a major aspect of a long career.

Harvey Stein is a long-time faculty member at the International Center of Photography who has also taught at the Rochester Institute of Technology, Drew University, and in the graduate digital program at the School of Visual Arts among several other universities. He frequently leads workshops in the U.S. and worldwide. He was the Director of Photography for 10 years at the Umbrella Arts Gallery in Manhattan and has curated 68 exhibits since 2007. Stein has had 89 solo exhibits and has participated in over 175 group shows. He has had nine books published, among them Parallels: A Look at Twins (1978); Artists Observed (1986); Coney Island (1998); Coney Island 40 Years (2011); Harlem Street Portraits (2013); Mexico Between Life and Death (2018) and Then and There: Mardi Gras 1979 (2020). Stein’s photographs are in over 58 public collections; his work is represented by the Sous Les Etoiles gallery in New York City.  His images can be seen on his web site, www.harveysteinphoto.com and on Instagram @stein.harvey as well as Facebook.
