Patrick Rémy a réuni 32 photographes, 292 pages et 300 photos pour nous donner sa vision de l'érotisme. Une vision subjective, construite au fil de rencontres, qui montre différentes allures de la chose, de la plus douce à la plus osée. Malgré ces chiffres, il ne fait que dresser un portrait-robot de l’érotisme, confiné dans les standards de beauté et les clichés du genre. Peu de nouveautés dans ce livre qu’est New Erotic Photography…

“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.”

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 ...

Alongside Crush, the new photographic installation by Paul Kooiker the museum is showing the 2008 photo series Room Service. The artist Paul Kooiker lets the visitor peer into his installations, but he dictates the distance between the visitor and the work. His work reveals him as a past master in the art of juggling the cliché and the unexpected.
Spectacle
Crush is a series of twenty large black and white photographs (210 x 160 cm). Crush, the new work by Paul Kooiker, follows on from Showground (2004). Once again he uses his studio as the location and photographs nude models. The works create the illusion of being made at a crime scene: hastily taken photographs, edgy, tense. The surroundings seem bleaker and feel like a battlefield deserted in panic or a runway after a well-attended air show. Attributes suc...

Paradise Twenty-One presents various series of photos and new video work made over the last ten years by Dutch photographer Paul Kooiker. Kooiker's work reflects his fascination for perception. He focuses on the female form, which appears in his work in many different ways. His oeuvre is a contemporary continuation of a traditional theme: the relationship between artist and model, viewer and viewed, object and subject. You never feel at ease when viewing work by Paul Kooiker. Not that you turn away, because the image is always compelling. You keep looking, despite that disturbing feeling. Generally subtle, occasionally challenging. Kooiker approaches each series as a project. Because he works with series, the definitive value of each individual image is only apparent as part of the whole. With his series of forty blurre...

In early 2006 Paul Kooiker spent three months as an artist in residence in the coastal city of Xiamen, in China. Under the influence of the turbulent economic developments in China, and the consequences these are having on contemporary Chinese society, as he travelled Kooiker photographed what he found around him.
Spurred by his previous fascination with the historical propaganda photographs of Mao swimming in the Yangtze river, from the beach he photographed people swimming in the...
