Festival Photo Saint-Germain 2016
Communiqué de presse du festival photo de Saint-Germain
Pour sa 5ème édition, le festival PHOTO SAINT-GERMAIN revient du 4 au 20 novembre 2016. Quinze jours placés sous le signe du parcours, dans une sélection de musées, centres culturels, galeries et librairies de la rive gauche. Expositions mais aussi conférences, projections, signatures et visites d’ateliers rythment la programmation de ce rendez-vous essentiel du mois de novembre.
Le titre du festival, Photo-Saint Germain, m’évoque ce couple du Be Bop en cave, saisi à Saint Germain des prés, par Robert Doisneau, au milieu du XXe siècle. Quelle plus belle image de la liberté et de l’altérité que celle offerte par ces danseurs ? Quelle photographie ... - Festival
The New York Photo Festival 2010
“NYC is the melting pot, the metropolis of the world, and therefore the most natural location for a festival with a mission to bring together global talent that is both timely and critical.”
Jody Quon, curator, NYPH’09
The First International Photography Festival in the United States
Photography, one of the most important visual media of our lives, has been surprisingly uncelebrated, particularly in the United States. New York City, home to the most influential commercial and fine art photography community, has lacked—until now—a large-scale event dedicated to photography. The inaugural New York Photo Festival (May 14–May 18, 2008) delivered a dynamic, high-quality event in what is arguably the photographic capital of the world. This event celebrated both contemporary photography ... - Exposition
Exposition : « Stranger than fiction » d'Andrea Modica
Réalisées à la chambre 20x25 et servies par de somptueux tirages au platine, les images de l’Américaine Andrea Modica (née à Brooklyn en 1960) regorgent de faux-semblants, le réel et la fiction s’y confondant pour nous entraîner dans un monde de mystère, de sensualité et d’onirisme. Adolescente, elle se destinait à la peinture mais la découverte des caméras de grand format d’abord, des épreuves au platine ensuite lui ont fait prendre une autre route et, depuis l’obtention de son Master of Fine Arts de la prestigieuse université de Yale, elle s’est tout entière consacrée à la photographie (et à son enseignement).

About Face
This exhibition will explore the breadth and global diversity of contemporary photographic portraiture since 2000, highlighting recent acquisitions to the museum's permanent collection.
About Face will include works by twenty-nine artists from the United States, England, Canada, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, Iran and South Africa. Though each of these photographers approaches portrait-making differently, certain thematic threads resonate throughout the show, including questions of racial, cultural, ethnic, class and gender identity; the relationship between individuals and typologies; the way photographic processes themselves inform meaning; the relevance of historical precedents to contemporary practice; and the impact of media stereotypes on self-presentation. Considered collectively, the works in About Fa... - Exposition
