Highlighting 2 newly published photobooks (both artists’ first publications) 💥💫

Emilia Martin ( ) ‘I Saw a Tree Bearing Stones in the Place of Apples and Pears’, published by .magazine (winner of the Charta Award 2023), has been shortlisted as a finalist for the 2024 Lucie Photo Book Prize ( ). I had the pleasure of supporting Emilia during the Face-to-Face Der Greif ( ) mentoring program ✨

Emilia Martin’s (an artist passionate about storytelling and mythology) stunning publication explores the history of meteorites and how humans have tried to make sense these enigmatic stones falling from the skies. Weaving together found and personal images, text extracts, and her own words, the book evokes a sense of magic and mystery. ‘Discover the stories whispered by stones’.

Alexander Mourant ( ) ‘The Night and the First Sculpture’, designed and published by , features an essay by and an interview with
Special Edition with signed print, contained in a perfectly conceived industrial crate, also available! 🙌

Mourant’s work involves constructing sculptures from wood, stone, and glass, set within a dark space on what appears to be part of his family farm. Dramatically lit at night, he arranges agricultural objects and photographs performances in which his body becomes part of the architectural forms. The work resonates with Conceptual Art of the ‘60s and ‘70s and Land Art, capturing a similar sense of process & fleeting mystery.

LUIGI GHIRRI: VIAGGI
Photographs 1970–1991


MASI Lugano presents Ghirri’s poetic colour photographs from the 1970s and 1980s: a collection of elegantly framed vintage prints, sourced from the Luigi Ghirri Estate and the CSAC collection in Parma.

Often humorous and touching in their characteristic colours, bathed in soft light, the photographs take you from the Dolomites and lakes of northern Italy, to seaside resorts along the Mediterranean, through archaeological sites and theme parks and even along the shelves of his own library. And with glimpses of Lake Lugano through the museum’s large window in the last room of the exhibition, I felt transported.

‘Luigi Ghirri: Viaggi’ co-published by and accompanies the exhibition.

Erwin Olaf: Stages
NYC

Thank you for the warm welcome and inspiring visit at 🙏
Following Erwin Olaf’s passing last year, Houk’s powerful exhibition presents an overview of the artist’s career from the 1980s, including works from his celebrated series Hope (2005) and Grief (2007). Meticulously made, from the stage sets created in his studio to the final printing, the works are unapologetically beautiful and seductive. The shifts in scale create a rhythm: from large-scale works such as ‘The Boxing School’ to smaller, lesser known still lifes - their Mondrian lines and minimalism - nuanced and elegant.

The Erwin Olaf Foundation was founded last year in honour of Olaf’s lifetime activism for the right to self-expression and q***r rights, in order to sponsor projects and educational initiatives that support vulnerable minorities in The Netherlands.

Robert Frank in Dialogue:
Life Dances On


Always a joy to spend the day at MoMA & I was in for a treat to catch the exhibition. ‘Life Dances On’ reveals lesser-known material alongside the artist’s quest to move away from his monumental ‘The Americans’ (published 1959). Focusing on the 6 decades from 1960s to his death in 2019, the viewer is invited to get lost in multiple films (‘Pull my Daisy’, ‘Scrapbook Footage’…), ‘visual diaries’, photographs and photo collages of a highly personal nature.

📷 “Andrea,” 1975, collage created after the death of his young daughter in a plane crash. //
‘Hold Still - Keep Going’, 1987. Presented at the end of the exhibition, printed by layering Polaroid negatives of a snow drift in Mabou. Frank later wrote that it was “a good sentence, for a photographer”, the dual message underscoring the tension in a photographer’s work; a need to capture a moment while continually moving forward creatively.’ // Exhibition view

Celebrating Communities:
Photographs from and 
In Abidjan, Yamoussoukro and also/importantly traveling in 4 rural cocoa-farming communities upcountry in Ivory Coast.
🍫🤝📸

Supported by Foundation, the selected photographers spent time with cocoa communities in West Africa, capturing their lives and traditions. It’s unusual to get such an intimate glimpse of these communities living remotely in the bush.
The range of work highlights diverse perspectives and narratives, such as photographs of the women and children in Amanikro and ’Shadows in Still Life’ exploring through his collages the “invisibility” of cocoa farmers, in particular the lack of connection between end consumers of chocolate and its origins. This is something which some in the cocoa industry are working hard on changing.

The exhibition was brought to my attention by my husband Raphaël Felenbok, who works on the board of Tony’s Chcolonely Foundation. The Foundation is primarily financed by 1% of Tony’s turnover and supports innovative projects that contribute to empowering cocoa growing communities in the Ivory Coast and Ghana.

Exhibited photographers incl , , , , , and received 8 months of mentoring, took part in intensive workshops, allowing them to take their work to the next level!

Deborah Turbeville & Katrien De Blauwer:
In Rhythmic Dialogue

Turbeville, whose work spans several decades from the 1970s until her death in 2013, was a renowned American fashion photographer known for her distinctive and avant-garde approach to photography. But clothes were secondary to her. She prioritised creating mysterious and elegant atmospheres with cinematic drama, and now is categorised more as an artist.

“It is because of will. It takes will, for anyone who’s exploratory, inventive, to oppose the conventions, the norms”
_ Deborah Turbeville, interview VOGUE, 1981

‘Altering her prints to be damaged or destroyed, worn, faded and grainy, she further broke away from the perfection – and commerciality – of fashion imagery typical of the time. Today, where our eyes are attuned to clean and polished digital imagery, their physicality and imperfections are particularly striking.’ _ Excerpt from online exhibition

Deborah Turbeville & Katrien De Blauwer:
In Rhythmic Dialogue

Belgian artist Katrien de Blauwer’s process consists of cutting photographs from vintage magazines and creating unexpected juxtapositions with images, aged papers and fragments of text.

‘Eschewing categorization, de Blauwer explores photography, painting, fashion and cinema, sometimes all in one image. She spends a lot of time in the past, immersed in old books and magazines. But through her daring image choices, she gives her source material new meaning…Her artworks are unique in their ability to reveal things by cutting parts away.’ _ Excerpt from online exhibition 

“Ever since I was a child, there was a voice inside me, who told me I was not like the rest.”
_ Katrien de Blauwer, from interview .bythegreyattic (2017)

Read more about how de Blauwer has created her own, distinctive voice & themes of identity, narrative and experimentation, in dialogue with Deborah Turbeville ➡️ via link in bio.
