...Livre The Raw and the Cooked* – Peter Bialobrzeski : Un livre « à point » édité aux éditions Hatje Cantz
Captivé par la mutation des villes asiatiques et surtout par l'architecture postindustrielle. Peter Bialobrzeski critique les mégalopoles déchainées du monde. Manille, Kolkata, Hanoi, Jakarta, Delhi, Bangkok, Shangai, Sao Paulo ou encore Dubai.
Après le succès de Neon Tigers, album photo primé en forme de déclaration d'amour critique des mégalopoles asiatiques, Peter Bialobrzeski nous convie à un nouveau voyage, celui de The Raw and the Cooked. Un livre de toute beauté qui n'était pas programmé. Les photos de The Raw and Cooked « n'étaient pas destinées pour faire partie d'un projet. Après la publication de Neon Tigers en 2004, j'ai continué à ...Livre Peter Bialobrzeski - Lost in transition In Heimat, his previous collection of photographs published by Hatje Cantz, German photographer Peter Bialobrzeski, born in 1961, gave us pictures of his homeland that showed it as it had never been seen before. Photo International deemed it "one of the most beautiful and significant photography books this year." Even before that, Bialobrzeski's critically acclaimed exploration of the Asian mega-city phenomenon, Neon Tigers, had made him a common topic of debate on the international photography scene. Bialobrzeski's gift is for the portrayal of epic sweep in urban vistas, and of the energies that inhabit and galvanize them. In Lost in Transition the photographer applies his grand vision to the transformation of wasteland areas, many of which are located on the peripheries of cities. The photographs were taken i...Exposition Thirty Years Thirty-One Photographers
Over these past three decades, the Laurence Miller Gallery has hosted approximately 250 exhibitions, and the list of these shows reflects the evolution of photography from the classic black-and-white medium that dominated much of the 20th Century, to today's large-format color contemporary works, as well as video. The gallery takes great pride in having given many emerging photographers their first one-person exhibitions in New York City, as well as having presented many of photography's greatest masters.
Thirty Years Thirty-One Photographers offers to both the connoisseur and the novice collector many of the most famous images shown along with rare prints from the Gallery's private collection. Here is a sampling:

M97 Gallery is pleased to present « THE RAW AND THE COOKED » a solo exhibition of photography works by German artist Peter Bialobrzeski. This is the artist’s second solo exhibition at M97 Gallery.
“The Raw and The Cooked”(2011) is Bialobrzeski’s most recent body of work and continues on the footsteps of his interest in Asian cities and their vertiginous growth. With photographs taken in fourteen countries across Asia, this newest work is a continuation of his study of urbanization and globalization trends in different countries around the world, from the ingenuity of the slums of Manila in his series “Case Study Homes” (2008) to the interiors of humble homes in a suburb of Soweto in “Informal Arrangements” (2010). ”The Raw and The Cooked” e...Exposition Mois de la Photo 2012 : exposition de Peter Bialobrezeski

Peter Bialobrzeski, documente et interprète la transformation du paysage urbain dans des différentes parties du monde de manière systématique et avec une approche presque topographique depuis plus de vingt ans. Ses œuvres constituent une sorte d’archive critique du présent, important du point de vue sociologique, urbain et artistique.
Bialobrzeski s’intéresse souvent au phénomène asiatique et à son développement économique sans précédents, porteur d’une grande homogénéisation du paysage urbain de Shangai à Dubai. Bialobrzeski documente autant la naissance d’un nouveau monde que les tentative...Exposition My artificial Paradise
Charles Baudelaire’s Les paradis artificiels has become known as a literary exploration of the experience of being high. Published in 1860, it studies human fascination for the extreme and stylises the impact of intoxication on the mind and senses. While Baudelaire’s essay looks at the complex interrelationship between desire and escapism for poetic literature, the relationship between hallucinatory visions and reality has not lost its fascination since the Romantic period. The adjective “artificial” in Baudelaire’s title names one of art production’s leitmotifs. Earthly paradises are always artificial. Visions always originate in some mind. Art and addiction both stand in a precarious relation to reality.
While Baudelaire explored art and artificiality in a longing for ideal wo...Exposition NEON PARADISE - Peter Bialobrzeski A solo exhibition of photography works by German artist Peter Bialobrzeski. The "Neon Paradise" exhibition showcases for the first time in Shanghai works from Bialobrzeski's award-winning "Neon Tigers" series, as well as works from his most recent "Paradise Now" series. Bialobrzeski's photographs depict the urban landscape and concrete jungles in metropolises across Southeast Asia. Spanning nearly a decade, these two bodies of work are the perfect juxtapositions and bookends to Bialobrzeski's work in Asia. "Neon Tigers" illustrates the infrastructure boom and high rises of Asia's megacities, while "Paradise Now" shows the intermingling of nature and the man-made neon luminescence in a subtle and startling balance of lush greenery and neon phosphorescence.
Peter Bialobr...Exposition WORLD - IMAGES 3 In 2005 and 2007, Helmhaus Zürich presented the first and second parts of its World - Images exhibition series. The project now continues with the third part, accompanied, as always, by a publication. One of the main aims of this project is to find out more about the different ways in which artists transpose their views of the world into the medium of photography, especially in an age of media overkill. The exhibition shows a vibrant cross-section of contemporary photography.
World - Images 3 covers a range of individual visual worlds and worldviews. Each of the eight artists featured in this exhibition has a distinctive approach in terms of creative expression, subject matter and in terms of the social and geographic setting that is the focus of their work. Which worldviews are conveyed in the visual worlds of the...Exposition AIRBUS PHOTOGRAPHIC ART GALLERY Isabel MUÑOZ, Mark POWER, Laurent MONLAÜ et Peter BIALOBRZESKI sont les quatre photographes de renommée internationale choisis par AIRBUS pour réaliser une exposition photographique, artistique et culturelle permettant la rencontre de l’image et de la technologie…

Sono spettacolari immagini realizzate in anni recenti da Peter Bialobrzeski nelle metropoli asiatiche, da Shangai a Hong Kong, da Bangkok a Singapore, da Shenzhen a Kuala Lumpur.

Bialobrzeski ha dedicato il lungo lavoro alle persone “che vivono nelle tigri di luce e con loro hanno a che fare quotidianamente, agli abitanti di città che nell’arco di due generazioni si sono trasformate completamente. A molti occidentali, luoghi del genere potrebbero sembrare...Modifier l'image
