Le 10 janvier 2016 avait lieu la 73e cérémonie des Golden Globes. Cette année, ce sont les photographes hollandais Inez Van Lamsweerde et Vinoodh Matadin qui ont immortalisé les célébrités après la remise des prix. Ces portraits en noir et blanc démontrent avec quelle aisance le duo de photographes manie le style hollywoodien, c'est-à-dire peu d'originalité mais beaucoup de glamour. On peut ainsi admirer les poses de Leonardo DiCaprio et Alejandro Inarritu, Kate Winslet, Jared Leto, Jennifer Lawrence et même Lady Gaga, nouvelle venue dans le cinéma, sur leur compte Instagram.

Deux artistes, une vision - L’oeuvre énigmatique de Inez van Lamsweerede et Vinoodh Matadin défie les genres.
«On reconnaît l’art photographique de van Lamsweerede et Matadin à la manière dont ils cherchent à créer des images déstabilisant les surfaces trop lisses et attendues de la culture de masse; ils exploitent à cet effet gothique, impénétrabilité, androgynie, comédie, érotisme, surréalisme, fantaisie, montage, cinéma, duplication, manipulation d’image, Pop art, fétichisme et subtilités de l’histoire de l’art.»

We Want More explores the role photography and image-production plays in defining music culture today.
Spurred by the advent of digital technologies, both industries have seen a significant change to the channels and processes for ownership and distribution. The traditional frameworks that once upheld a distance between photographers, fans, stars and their labels have collapsed to allow for new routes and territories in which music photography is produced, shared and consumed.

Where once many music photographers worked to briefs for specific publications, they are now more in control of context and creative direction. Musicians also play a more active role in their own...

Not in Fashion. Fashion and Photography in the 90s is the title of the new special exhibition at MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst. As the title already indicates the focus here is not on the glamorous fashion world of the rich and the beautiful. On the contrary, the show at MMK presents an anti-movement that in the 1990s consciously ran counter to the images of prêt-à-porter, haute couture and the mainstream fashion magazines. Especially in the first half of the decade, designers, stylists and photographers dedicated themselves to giving fashion strong roots in society not just as an industry with a feeling for the zeitgeist, but as an artistic form of expression and as a "politics of the body". Thus, fashion in the 1990s covered substantially more than the latest collections brought out by the in...
Foam proudly presents a survey of the work of the world famous photographic duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. Inez and Vinoodh began their work together in 1986 in Amsterdam. Now, 25 years later, with their campaigns for fashion houses such as YSL, Chanel, Balmain, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Chloé, and with regular publications in W Magazine, Vogue and The New York Times, they are amongst the most important photographers in the world today. They are amongst the very few artists that have successfully crossed the line drawn between fashion and art and have managed to simultaneously maintain careers in both fields. The team has lived and worked in New York since 1995....
The international photographers in this exhibition undress the theatre of fashion and question the creation of perfect beauty. Fashion in the Mirror is an overview of their self-examination and a rare look behind-the-scenes of fashion photography from the 1950s to the present day.
Finding both comedy and poetry in the set-up of the studio, the exhibiting photographers turn their cameras on the processes and paraphernalia of the fashion shoot. Photographers become mirrored in their own work and, as viewpoints are inverted and gazes misdirected, cameras stare back out at us expectantly.
Revealing the fashion industry’s secrets and undermining its glamorous illusions, the photographers in this exhibition create work that exposes this world from within.
