Caochangdi Photospring ; Arles in Beijing
We are pleased to announce the launch of the first annual Caochangdi PhotoSpring on April 17th, 2010. The Caochangdi PhotoSpring is working in a three-year partnership with "Les Rencontres d'Arles" Photography Festival. This will be the very first time that Arles' programs will be shown outside of France.
For the past forty years, "Les Rencontres d'Arles" has been the meeting point of photography artists, professionals, and amateurs alike, who come to the southern French city to discover the new talents of photography and rediscover its celebrated masters.
The Caochangdi art district was born in northeastern Beijing in 2000 and has since flourished into a vibrant artistic hub with numerous galleries, art institutions, and artists' studios. The aim of the Caochangdi PhotoSpring is to build a plat... - Exposition
La photographie au cœur de Chaumont-sur-Loire
C'est dans le cadre idyllique que se déroule la 8ème saison d'Art de Chaumont-sur-Loire. Un salon pluridisciplinaire où se côtoient arts plastiques, photographies et vidéos, tantôt en extérieur dans les jardins, tantôt dans l'enceinte même du château.
Dans la catégorie photographie, Chantal Colleu-Dumond et son équipe nous proposent cette année les images d'Andy Goldsworthy et de Jean-Baptiste Huynh, les « jardins » de l'artiste brésilienne Luzia Simons ainsi que les « nuages » du Coréen Han Sungpil, sans oublier les « fleurs fantômes » de Gabriel Orozco et les vitraux de Sarkis.

Luzia Simons et Kexin Zang à Berlin
uzia Simons was born in 1953 in Quixadá, Brazil and lives in Berlin. She first studied history until 1978 and then Fine Arts at the Sorbonne University in Paris from 1984 to 1986.
In Luzia Simons work, the floral still life takes on a multi-layered cultural and socio-political statement. For one, the artist studies the history of the tulip, which became an important symbol of identification in both the Orient and the Occident. Taken from this historical context, the tulip becomes a metaphor for cross-cultural identity, social mobility and globalization for Luzia Simons.
Today many people encounter life similar to how the tulip came to Europe from Asia, changed through cultivation, and then returned in a new form: they travel, change and are rooted in more than one place at the same time. This results ... - Exposition
Fototagetrier 2010: LEBEN elementar
Conceptual background:
The non-profit organisation Kulturverein Bild und Kunst eV Trier is proud to announce that the first edition of the fototagetrier, the Trier Photo Days, will be held in 2010. The festival, which was conceived as a triennial event, will invest various museums and exhibition spaces in the city of Trier. Entitled “LEBEN elementar”, the first edition intends to survey a wide range of contemporary artistic practices based on photography or video and dealing with notions of contemporaneousness and existentiality.
The concept of the exhibition follows the observation that the gaps in our seemingly banal everyday – a seamless succession of events from birth and growing up to ageing and dying, interspersed with experiences of love and loss, joy and sadness, happiness and dismay, poverty ...
