UNFINISHED MODERNISATIONS / BETWEEN UTOPIA AND PRAGMATISM

Wolfgang Thaler is showing a large collection of his work of modernist architecture in the former Yugoslavia at the UGM, Maribor Art Gallery.

The Unfinished modernisations illuminates spaces that were created by the "socialist progress" in the former Yugoslavia and thus establishes what has happened with these spaces after the collapse of the common state and the disappearance of socialism.

Ausstellung im Literaturhaus-Salzburg
Do, 12.01.2012 - Do, 29.03.2012

Der Zufall brachte vor fast dreißig Jahren den Reisejournalisten Freddy Langer auf die Idee, mit einer Polaroidkamera Prominente hinter einer Schlafbrille zu fotografieren. Der irritierende Moment, in dem die Stars blind dem Fotografen ausgeliefert waren, eröffnete einen Blick auf die wahren Gesichter der internationalen Kunstszene – ein etwas anderes WHO IST WHO.

Charles Fréger - WILDER MANN opening on Thursday, Dec. 1

EXHIBITION OPENING

CHARLES FRÉGER

Wilder Mann

Opening: 1 December 2011

7 pm: Introduction Dr Matthias Burchardt, Cologne

8 pm: Krampus-ceremony by “Grödiger Nox´nteufel”

9 pm: Party, Drinks & Snacks

Duration: 2 December 2011 – 21 January 2012

Also, on view at MOMENTUM in Vienna is a small selection and portfolio of the WILDER MANN

In his portraits French photographer Charles Fréger looks at involvement with social subcultures, their history, and aspects of group membership.

Inspired by Krampus processions in and around Salzburg in 2009, Fréger embarked on a journey of research across Europe that encompassed eighteen countries and focused on similar ritual acts and pagan traditions revolving around the seasons, fertility rituals, life and death.

His latest photographic work addresses the theme of the “wild man” and the visible transformation it entails of man into beast – a cultural phenomenon that has been a part of the mythology of many European peoples for centuries.

“It is the unavoidable confrontation with creatures, who simultaneously fascinate and frighten us; posing an irritation between the aesthetics of the photos and perception”

Dr. Matthias Burchardt

To illustrate Fréger’s work process the exhibition is also showing examples from the portrait series Winner Face (2002) and Hereros (2007) alongside Wilder Mann.

Charles Féger’s exhibit is the last event on Erhardplatz. Fotohof invites for a very special opening with snacks and drinks. A unique highlight will be the appearance of the Krampus group Grödiger Nox’nteufel.

Charles Fréger, *1975, studied at the Rouen Art School, France. Lives and works in Rouen. He is a founding member of the Piece of Cake artists’ group.

Speaking at the exhibition is Dr Matthias Burchardt, *1966, tenured research associate at the Institute for Education Philosophy, Anthropology and Lifespan Education, University of Cologne. His fields of research include phenomenological education, the archaeology of the contemporary, and “Man and Monsters”.

Fugen der Moderne. Hindesmith und Schostakowitsch stampfen lustvoll und klug, die Zeitenwende wird zum Technicolor-Bild. Auch Bartoks Mikrokosmos wird weitergedacht und durch Improvisation verformt. Der Rest ist kreative Freiheit. Zuckerbrot und Peitsche für Herz und Hirn.

OTHER PEOPLE’S PHOTOGRAPHS

Eröffnung: 6. Oktober 2011
Einführung: Ruth Horak (Wien)
Dauer: 7. Oktober bis 19. November 2011

Zwischen 2008 und 2011 stellte Joachim Schmid eine Serie von 96 Print-on-demand-Büchern mit Amateurbildern aus verschiedensten Bereichen des Alltagslebens zusammen. Bilder aus Fotonetzwerken wie z. B. Flickr wurden in einem Archiv von zeitgenössischer „Knipserfotografie“ im Zeitalter von digitaler Technik und online Fotoverwaltung angelegt. Jedes Buch behandelt ein spezielles Genre und verdeutlicht wiederkehrende Muster in der Populärfotografie. Das Konzept folgt einem enzyklopädischen Ansatz, der endlos ausweitbar ist. Die Auswahl ist weder systematisch noch folgt sie einem bereits verbürgten Konzept. Die Grundstruktur des Archivs spiegelt den heute üblichen Umgang mit Bildern facettenreich und widersprüchlich nach dem Motto „beobachte und entdecke“.

Paul Kranzler, BRUT - in the Gallery Robert Morat, Berlin.

2011-08-28T10:12:00.003+02:00

One of our latest titles from 2011, BRUT from Paul Kranzler, will be presented with an exhibition of the work at the Berlin showroom of Robert Morat.

“These are images of places and people I have known for a long time, whether related by blood or otherwise. And places and people who know those I know, and also people who I don’t know in places I have known for a long time. You become the way you are in your own environment. Relatives are an integral part of the genetic environment, and people, to whom you are not related and who become your relatives are always your closest environment.
Indeed the people, places and landscapes of your own environment are always the most photographed motif in the world. Once you have been in a particular environment for a long time, it becomes your “home”, your “relationship”, your “family”, your “homeland”, your “cemetery”, your “prison”, etc. Perhaps one’s personal environment is four-dimensional: the three dimensions of space plus the fourth dimension, i.e. the emotion inherent to that (living/human) space.”
(Paul Kranzler)

The show will open on Wednesday Sept. 7 at 7 pm.

Show runs until Nov. 26th.

The photographer Gerti Deutsch. Photographs 1935 - 1965

Gerti Deutsch’s life and career is typical of the fate experienced by many emigrants during the past century. Born into a middle-class Jewish family in Vienna she worked in exile in London during World War II as one of only a handful of women on the Picture Post, the leading photo-journalistic magazine of its day. Immediately after the War, she went on to shoot reportage features for the magazine in her former home city of Vienna. After a spell in Italy she returned to Austria for a longer period in the late 1960s, living on the outskirts of Salzburg.

Galerie Fotohof is showing a major review of her photographic work for the first time. Works from the period 1935 to 1965 are on display both at the exhibition and in the photo book. Her oeuvre is something of a discovery for Austria as, up until now, only a selection of her photographs had ever been shown at exhibitions by the Austrian Cultural Forum in London. The works on display at the exhibition have been loaned by Gerti Deutsch’s two daughters, who also uncovered other, previously unknown photographs, and by Getty Images London, which owns the Picture Post archive and has made invaluable photographs and magazines available for the exhibition.

A particularity of the exhibition is the diversity of works on show. It begins with bromoil transfers and platinum prints as well as classic large-scale images, portraits made by Gerti Deutsch at the start of her career. Her press photos are also to be seen in the original issues of the magazines in which they appeared. Documents including correspondence with Oskar Kokoschka about a photograph of himself complement the photographer’s profile. Numerous photographs depict the early days of the Salzburg Festival and its proponents such as Arturo Toscanini, Max Reinhardt and Yehudi Menuhin. Of particular interest for the culture of photography of the day are the book mock-ups from the 1950s of photo books about Austria and Japan which Gerti Deutsch had been planning. And the picture reportages from 1951 by Inge Morath and Gerti Deutsch are something of a minor sensation, underscoring a very early collaboration between these two Austrian-born photographers.

FOTOHOF edition ladet ein zur Buchpräsentation: MICHAEL SCHÄFER - Vorbilder / Models

2011-05-05T12:19:00.003+02:00

Am 6. Mai um 19.00 Uhr – in der Halle am Wasser – Invalidenstrasse 50-51 - Berlin

Begrüßung: Michael Mauracher
Einführung: Maren Lübbke-Tidow

In seinen drei neuesten Werkgruppen bedient sich der Berliner Künstler Michael Schäfer der computergestützten Bildmontage als Mittel einer inhaltlichen Bildstrategie, die auf Fragen der Repräsentation - verstanden als sozialer und politischer Habitus - abzielt.

In „Les Acteurs“ schlüpfen die Schüler eines deutschen Eliteinternats in ein Business Outfit und posieren als Manager. „Die Vorbilder“ sind Reinszenierungen von Pressebildern, auf denen Personen aus Politik und Wirtschaft zu sehen sind. „Die Redner“ greifen ganz explizit das Bildgenre des Rednerportraits auf. Das Buch verlässt das sichere Terrain der bloßen Abbildung der einzelnen Werke: Stattdessen zoomt Schäfer mittels eines komplexen Geflechts von Ausschnitten auf seine Bildwelten ein, wodurch das Buch eine autonome Struktur und Inhaltlichkeit erhält.

New show opening on Thursday May 5. Franz GRAF, Eva SCHLEGEL, Manfred WAKOLBINGER

2011-04-06T08:23:00.006+02:00

Manfred Walkolbinger

Eva Schlegel

Franz Graf

On Thursday May 5th we will open a show of the multimedia artists Franz Graf, Eva Schlegel and Manfred Walkolbinger.

Franz GRAF presents a series of Polaroid portraits of his students and various visitors to his class at the art academy in Vienna from 2000-2006. The name of the person is then written onto the Polaroid object as a graphical element, creating a dialog between the two levels of identity; the written symbol and the photographic image.

Eva SCHLEGEL has spent the last years contemplating the metaphor of "flying and falling", most recently in her single person show "In Between" in the Viennese Museum of Applied Arts. Fotohof is showing a selection of her large format screen prints on lead, a material which is both extremely heavy yet soft, reflecting the symbolic polarity in her images; heaven and earth, success and failure...

Manfred WALKOLBINGER is showing his film "Galaxies 1-4" as well as photographs which are at the heart of this animation. It deals with underwater images of creatures which Wakolbinger presents as science fiction creations. An homage of sorts on his "heroes" Jodorowsky, Lynch and the mountain societies of the Toroja in central Sulawesi, Wakolbinger photographs in the waters of the Indonesia which hold a certain relevance in the development of mammals and thus mankind.

Martin Vesely (Kurator)

Exhibition opening: Tuesday, 8 March 2011, 7 pm
Introduction: Andreas Spiegl, Vienna
Duration: 9 March to 30 April 2011

Photography is explored here at its margins under the curatorial eye of Martin Vesely at the Galerie Fotohof…

“(…) What are the essential characteristics of photography?

The lens itself sees nothing; it perceives vicariously. The transfer occurs by means of a (technical) apparatus, a construct. The incoming density, the information is replicated on a medium in analogue or digital form.
It is only in the short timeframes of the exposure itself that the photograph is allowed to exist as a photograph, with this partial loss of control capturing the photograph’s auratic nature.
Too much is indeterminately recorded in that empty space, at first without meaning, the informal having the opportunity to be borne to the surface, the emanation of the referent (Roland Barthes) shown by means of an imprint, a track.

The reference speculates with knowledge, as it were, wanting to be decoded, with the past updated only in the act of contemplation. Mistrust is always apposite, for too many factors impact the process of creation.
Index, track, imprint, referentiality, technical reproducibility – these are all terms which are now deeply embedded in our theoretical vocabulary, terms which admittedly are debated first and foremost in photography and the theory of photography, but which from the very outset also served as fundamental parameters of art and aesthetics in general.” (…)

In these groups of works the Dutch photographer addresses issues such as the perception and reception of human images; their open concept is such that they can be situated within the context of both staged and documentary photography.
With the play of light and shadow and the use of colourful symbolism - Flamboya refers to a species of flowering plant or tree with a particularly flamboyant display of flowers - the scenes featuring her protagonists transpose them from their everyday lives to a surreal setting. Far from the West’s conventional clichés of the continent as a whole the artist succeeds, thanks in part to her personal history and identity, in reflecting herself in those standing before her and in inscribing herself in an archaic yet also highly contemporary image of Africa.

Viviane Sassen was born in 1972 in Amsterdam, where she lives and works. She is represented by Motive Gallery Amsterdam.

Inge Dick - 2 shows and a birthday celebration

2011-01-12T14:28:00.004+01:00

from the seires Zinnober (Vermillion), 2010/25

Inge Dick, a long time friend and artist of Fotohof and one of the most important figures in the Austrian photography scene is celebrating her 70th birthday with new work being shown in 2 galleries in Germany.

LICHTZEITEN - ZINNOBER

Galerie Renate Bender, München

Opening on Friday 14. January at 7 pm

BLAU, UNENDLICH

Galerie Linde Hollinger, Ladenburg/Heidelberg

Opening Samstag, 15. january at 5 pm

With her photo projects – whether it be with large Polaroid cameras or with her new film project “Vermillion” shown in the exhibition “Lichtzeiten” (“Light Times”) at the Upper Austrian Landesmuseum (Linz, spring 2008) Inge Dick presents one of the most unusual positions in contemporary and experimental photography. New in her first film – shot in real time – is the documentation of the changing colour of a vermilion surface filmed between 7am and 8.30pm.
In her most recent photographic project, Inge Dick creates photographic images on the basis of the film, showing the sequences and changes in colour of the vermillion plate she had originally filmed. We are showing the first „stills“ in the exhibition.
Galerie Bender, München

Happy Birthday Inge!

Inge Morath, FIRST COLOR. Clair, Munich.

2010-12-08T11:25:00.006+01:00

Inge Morath / First Color

Opening on December 7, running until January 22, 2011

Following Inge Morath’s death in 2002, nearly 10.000 hitherto unknown color originals were recovered from storage in Paris and New York. This body of images, together with Morath’s known archive of color material, reveals the development of a distinct sensibility. Inge Morath was undoubtedly influenced by the legendary hostility of her colleague, Henri Cartier-Bresson, to color photography. Morath’s own ambivalence is reflected in the contradiction between the sheer volume of color film that she exposed and its absence from her exhibited and published works. Her color vision, already strong in her photographs of gypsy encampments in Ireland in 1954, matured in the late 1950s, during her documentation of the Middle East, in 1956, and Romania, where she worked in 1958. From the ‘60s on, Morath employed color as a central element within her documentary narratives. Filling in a significant lacuna in her previously published work, First Color is an examination of Morath’s first decade of work in color, and is drawn largely from the trove of posthumously recovered material.

FOTOHOF edition 2010, Vol. 134

Brut is the third title from Paul Kranzler in the Fotohof edition. Following his Land of Milk and Honey, and Tom, this book is Paul's look at his own extended family. By traveling through Austria, searching for what it means to be part of a "clan" Paul delivers us not only an extended self-portrait but a glimpse of the middle-working-class Austrian life.

“These are images of places and people I have known for a long time, whether related by blood or otherwise. And places and people who know those I know, and also people who I don’t know in places I have known for a long time. You become the way you are in your own environment. Relatives are an integral part of the genetic environment, and people, to whom you are not related and who become your relatives are always your closest environment.

Indeed the people, places and landscapes of your own environment are always the most photographed motif in the world. Once you have been in a particular environment for a long time, it becomes your “home”, your “relationship”, your “family”, your “homeland”, your “cemetery”, your “prison”, etc. Perhaps one’s personal environment is four-dimensional: the three dimensions of space plus the fourth dimension, i.e. the emotion inherent to that (living/human) space.”

An entire generation has now passed since Germany’s reunification, and Susanne Huth has gone in search of the East Germany of her childhood; a search reflected in the artist’s architecture photographs, but also in the sweet reproductions of the poetry album of her childhood, which in a subtly poetic way already hinted at political resistance. Recollections of an age where a verse by Goethe or a glittering sticker could represent a form of passive resistance.

Susanne Huth has worked with the art book medium on several occasions already, but mostly only in the form of unique copies or entirely hand-made editions. Poesie [Poetry] is her first book publication. In her essay Poesiealbum Magdeburg-Nord, Berlin author Annett Gröschner explores the relationship between public and private, again from an historical-autobiographical perspective.

The first OFFPRINT artist book fair in Paris dedicated to photography publications from November 18 – November 21, was a big success – not only for Fotohof edition. On all four days there were enourmous crowds in the Espace Kiron flipping through book projects of about 40 exhibitors. Focusing on independent publishing companies, OFFPRINT aspires to be a meeting place for Artists, Photographers, Graphic designers, Curators, Artistic directors, Journalists, Collectors… who deal with "printed" photography: books, magazines, zines, prints.

We met a lot of friends and artists like Lewis Baltz, Valerie Belin, Jeffrey Ladd, Alix Delmas, Eva Maria Ocherbauer, Haubitz +Zoche, Rob Hornstra, Martin Parr, Nina Korhonnen, Daniel Blaufuks, Lillian Birnbaum, Oliver Sieber, Veronique Bourgoin, Jörg Koopmann, Antje Hanenbeck, Jutta Benzenberg, Miklos Boros, Philipp Gerlach, Marion Kalter, Johannes Steidl, Paula Muhr, Stefane Couturier, JH Engström, Andrew Miksys and many more.

Parallel to the book presentations there were enriched meetings and portfolio reviews with young artists from all over the world including a nice lecture of young dutch book designers.

Yannick Bouilly, organisator and creator of OFFPRINT seemed also surprised by the enormous interest and announced a second edition next year.

FOTOHOF edition 2010, Vol. 145

Excerpts from the text by Ardian Klosi, July 2010.

Jutta Benzenberg photographed this extraordinary unfinished vessel in its Roskovec shipyard in June 2010. It is planned to have many cabins in the shape of cafés and restaurants, billiard halls and slot-machine casinos, and it will welcome not government delegations and presidents with their pretty aides at their elbows, but representatives of the working and non-working people of the entire country. There will be no need for hundreds and thousands of people to drag it across the mountains, as the poor Peruvians of long ago dragged their ship under the orders of the mad rubber-baron Fitzcarraldo in Werner Herzog’s film. No. Powered by 550 years of resentment stored in Albanian hearts since the wars of Skenderbeg, when we were brutally snatched from Europe, it will proceed under its own steam, making up for lost time, and when the peoples and states of united Europe see this Albanian concrete ship, this industrial dream of the 1960s which has become a reality in the 21^st century, they will welcome it with respect.

An old lady smiles at the photographer with this ship in the background. It is hers: her son is turning into reality an idea that has been so many centuries in gestation and now finds expression in this country in so many ways. The projected journey is sometimes a hesitant one, and we are unsure of the itinerary and means of travel. For instance, in the town of Kavaja, about thirty kilometres to the north, the chimney of the old nail and screw factory has been turned into a minaret, with a balcony and the muezzin’s loudspeaker facing east.

I suggested to the photographer the caption “Ahead with the past” because I noticed that in most of her pictures, especially those taken in the last two years, after two decades in which she has handled Albanian themes, the past is constantly present. The country is progressing, of course, and in people’s external appearance you no longer see the same tension and barely suppressed violence as in 1991. That period of chaos and destruction has passed, and it is not common to find the people reduced to skin and bone that Jutta captured in “Albanian Survival” (1993). But the past somehow still grips all the people in this book. Who knows, this may be one of the country’s inherent traits. Most albums of Albanian photos show superb landscapes, or people in clean, colourful, bland and up-to-date environments. But Jutta has caught people in the struggles of their everyday lives, in scenes which bear the marks either of the socialist past or of Albania’s age-old poverty. Some illustrate unsuccessful endeavours to overcome both, in the shape of a newly-acquired kitsch prosperity, with shimmering satin and floating tulle curtains. Sometimes the subjects of these photographs, still in thrall to the past, are not people, but buildings, rooms, railway stations, mining towns, dogs and horses, forests and lakes. Unlike tourist photographers who attempt to exclude every blemish and stain, and all the rubble and debris of the past, Jutta consistently includes these things in her vision, or rather finds them wherever she goes. Are these the struggles of Albania, her fractures and rents, or are they the photographer’s? I cannot tell, and I need not decide this question as long as the photographs speak for themselves.

Several albums of photographs of Albania have been published in recent years. Those produced by Albanians are aimed at tourists, and seem to display the country as if in a shop window, while those by foreigners are generally the result of short visits they have paid to Albania. But Jutta’s work extends across an entire twenty-year period. In October 1991, she took black-and-white photographs in the internees’ villages of Lushnjë, in the former prison of Spaç, and on the roads as the migrants poured toward the Greek border at Kakavija and Kapshtica. Now in 2010 she has compiled this book, which contains mostly photographs from the last two or three years, but which are nevertheless connected to her earlier work. In between, she accomplished work of extraordinary value, with characters, situations, and landscapes that charted the country’s destiny year by year. Tragically, her collection was entirely destroyed by fire in 2007, but she started again, determined to make up what she had lost. The public can see at least a selection of the results in this book.

SUBRAUM

Johannes Naumann

Gregor Sailer

Stefan Tuschy

The spaces documented here in Germany’s Ruhr area by Johannes Naumann, Gregor Sailer and Stefan Tuschy are normally not freely accessible. It is the hermetically sealed world of archives, underground bunkers, storage facilities and tunnel systems which, as hidden lifelines, keep the pulse of our modern lives alive. With the camera’s inquisitive gaze and a compositional intent they explore this hidden world and uncover a certain functional aesthetic: monolithic shapes, endless corridors lined with shelves, the perspective of vanishing points, and the highly specific colour palette of items of everyday use. These literally underground locations are usually omitted in the presentation of architecture. In their coolly neutral images Sailer / Naumann / Tuschy cast light on these suppressed - as it were - sites of storage, protection and technology.

Leo Kandl – Free Portraits

Susi Krautgartner – Uncanny Valley

Opening: Thrusday, 18. Nov. 7 pm

Words: Stefanie Hoch, Curater, Landesgalerie, Linz

Leo Kandl has immersed himself in the genre of portrait photography for several decades, whereby he unites the conceptual documentary process with the subjectivity and individuality of the object. In „Free Portraits“ Kandl made contact with his models through newspaper advertisements. Cities such as Vienna, London, New York, Tehran, Moscow and Havana became the public backdrop for works that at times give the impression of being snapshots from the streets, or private photographs. Kandl’s style allows the observer to engage with the subject emotionally as the potentially tense meeting of two strangers in role play, the subject and photographer, produces images characterized by curiosity and an occasionally subtle, erotically charged atmosphere.

“Uncanny Valley” is named after a well-known hypothesis of roboticist Masahiro Mori. Mori’s theory describes the empirically measureable effect of an emotional response to non-human entities. Essentially, human-likeness triggers empathy. However, when an almost perfect human-likeness is achieved, strong negative emotions can be detected. Susi Krautgartner invokes this effect through the medium of self-portrait which express familiar role models and stereo types.

Guest speaker at the exhibition is Stefanie Hoch, Curator of the LANDESGALERIE LINZ.

This evening we will also present our latest publication:
