Tell Me Your Story, MiCamera books, Milan.

Paul Kranzler finished up the Fotohof Presentation at the MiCamera book shop with a workshop titled "Tell Me Your Story".

We spent 3 days with a group of interesting photographers talking about the ways to approach the narrative in a photographic series, using Paul's books as a staring point. Alongside the beautiful book shop, MiCamera is also a gallery space.

If you are in Milan, or one of the many book fairs this year, stop by MiCamera and meet Giulia and Flavio and check out there space.

Thanks Giulia and Flavio for the supportive month of Fotohof in Micamera and the weekend workshop hospitality.

Thanks Paul, for the talks and the football lessons,

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

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

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.

Opening: Thursday, 5. May 2011, 7 pm

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.” (…)

VIVIANE SASSEN

FLAMBOYA

Exhibition opening: Tuesday, 18 January 2011, 7 pm

Introduction: Prof. Peter Weiermair

Duration: 19 January 2011 – 5 March 2011

Vivien Sassen’s Flamboya cycles were created in places in Africa where she lived as a child. 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.

Peter Weiermair, publicist, exhibition organiser and publisher, lives and works in Innsbruck, Frankfurt and New York.

Inge Dick - 2 shows and a birthday celebration

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!
