Qu'est-ce qui définit le photographe si ce n'est son oeil ? Les 75 artistes du livre « Visionnaire : les plus grands photographes » ont en commun le fait d'avoir réussi à capter un monde en train de changer radicalement. Et si ce n'était pas un mais différents regards croisés sur leur environnement ? Regarder dans plusieurs directions à la fois. C'est ce qui fît leur talent.
« Qui est capable d'anticipation, qui a l'intuition de l'avenir » : c'est en ces termes que le dictionnaire Larousse définit le terme « visionnaire ». Effectivement, visionnaires, ces 75 photographes l'étaient tous. Il faut être extrêmement lucide, ...

American photography forms an extensive and simultaneously top-quality focal point in the collection, of which a selected overview is now being exhibited for the first time. The main interest of young photographers, who have been examining changes in political, social and ecological aspects of everyday American life since the late 1960s, has been the American social landscape. Oscillating between individual world views, analytical stock-taking and conceptual strategies, they have developed new stylistic devices that define a pictorial style perceived as genuinely American.
Whereas Lee Friedlander, Garry Winogrand, Robert Adams, Lewis Baltz and Larry Clark, who are now considered classical modern photographers, have remained true to black-and-white photography, William Eggleston and Stephen Shore in particular have...
Since its inception in 2004 the Sammlung Verbund focuses on the feminist art movement of the 1970s as one of the main areas of collecting. In keeping with its maxim, "Depth before Breadth", the fruits of this particular focus are now for the first time presented in Italy. The Galleria nazionale d'arte moderna in Rome shows an exhibition entitled DONNA: FEMINIST AVANT-GARDE OF THE 1970s from Sammlung Verbund, Vienna.
The director of the collection, Gabriele Schor, has taken the initiative and deliberately designated the feminist art movement of the 1970s as Feminist Avant-Garde, in order to emphasise its trailblazing role, as it is, like no other art movement in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, a decisive force in shaping contemporary art production. The Feminist Avant-Garde is still an open field and ...
The Museion venue welcomes the Righi Collection, one of the most significant private collections of contemporary art, which to date has only been exhibited at the Collection Lambert in Avignon, France. The arrival of the collection represents an important exhibition opportunity for Museion, thanks to a ten year deposit of works in the museum.
The presentation of a selection of works from the Righi Collection aims to elicit reflections on the encounter between the public dimension and the intimate sphere of a private collection. The artists present in both collections, including Roni Horn (NY, 1955), Jana Sterback (Prague, 1955), Robert Barry (NY, 1936), Alighiero Boetti (Turin 1940 – Rome 1994) and Miroslaw Balka (Warsaw, 1958) represent the numerous convergences of vision between the museum and the private coll...
"If You Lived Here... " was, in Yvonne Rainer's words, "a vivid demonstration of how an art exhibition can constitute a radically different approach, one that can offer not only a diversity of objects but can contextualize a social field in and from which the objects are produced and derive their meaning. In other words, art exhibition does not have to separate, or isolate, its objects from the conditions in and under which those objects have been produced."
Part research-based artwork, part curated group show (with three discrete exhibitions, four public meetings, and numerous auxiliary events), part discursive series on and around the subject of homelessness and housing in America, "If You Lived Here..." took place at a Dia Art Foundation building in Soho, in New York City, in 1989. In ...
L'exposition, Martha Rosler Library [1] s'inscrit dans le prolongement du travail de recherche bibliographique mené à l'INHA par l'équipe du programme « Art contemporain et mondialisation ».
Cette exposition, implantée Galerie Colbert, salle Roberto Longhi est constituée de plus de 8 000 ouvrages et fonctionne comme une salle de lecture. Elle a été auparavant montrée à New-York, Anvers, Francfort et Berlin. Après Paris, elle sera accueillie par la Biennale de Liverpool. C'est sur une proposition faite à Martha Rosler par Anton Vidokle - artiste et fondateur d'e-flux [2] - que ce projet de bibliothèque itinérante a pu voir le jour.
Martha Rosler, qui est née à Brooklyn en 1943, est une artiste majeure de la scène artistique américaine dont la renommée et l'influence n'ont cessé de s'étendre....
