Project MARIA at Arles

'Family of No Man' exhibition at 'Les Rencontres de la Photographie Arles'

I'm so excited to announce that one of my photographs from my series TRANSFIGURATION: into the light  is  part of 'THE FAMILY OF NO MAN' exhibition at Les Rencontres de la photographie, Arles 2018! Thanks to Cosmos for this amazing opportunity!

The Family of No Man will be one of the main curatorial events at Arles Cosmos 2018. The exhibition has been curated to include female identifying photographers only. The aim of this curatorial proposition is to revisit Edward Steichen’s original 'Family of Man' exhibition (1955), which, in its time, was described “as one of the most ambitious undertakings in an art museum”. The Family of No Man will seek to replace the visual register of white male dominance inherent in the original project with an inclusive visual platform of how the world is seen today through non-male eyes.

INFOCUS - The Focus is Positive

 

So sometimes it is in artistic practice: you live up to art, you perceive the world in his language, and you start practicing quite late ... in the third or last quarter of your life. Some events in life or society are encouraged by this. Often, discovering himself in art becomes his own "catharsis", where the artist rages on the sore, or vice versa - shares his peace with his path of positive healing.

ON THIS DAY IN PHOTOGRAPHY - JUNE 1

June 1: Must success in photography be at the expense of compassion?

Right on the heels of Photo London comes Copenhagen Photo Festivalwhich starts today in a former transformer station called Understationen, on Nyborggade 13, Copenhagen, and will continue until 11th June.

Amongst many and varied offerings of the festival, mostly photography with a few video works, is The Censored Exhibition. 

Inaugurated in 2102, The Censored Exhibition annually issues a call for contemporary international fine art photography, though this year’s includes photojournalism and videography.

The selection committee comprised Beate Cegielska, curator and director of Gallery Image in Aarhus, founded 1977, the first gallery for photography in Scandinavia; artist and photographer, Tina Enghoff (*1957); and researcher, art critic, writer and radio host, Torben Sangild (*1969). Their selection out of 1,872 works from photographers all over the world, in the jury’s opinion, reflects the latest tendencies within contemporary photography:

It was very important for us that the exhibition shows the openness of today’s photography. The boundaries between genres are broken down and photography is being stretched in all directions. Photography is on a journey with numerous stops and some of them can be seen in this year’s censored exhibition.

The photographers they selected are; Adrian Fish (CA) Blør (DK/CYP) Borcher and Lomholdt (DK) Carrie and Eric Tomberlin (US) Erik Jørgensen (DK) Giles Clark (US) Ida Refsgaard (DK) Jake Naughton (US) Jim Johnston (UK) Ken Hermann (DK) Lars Brorson Fich (DK) Lesia Maruschak (CA) Louis De Belle (IT) Mads Kongerskov (DK), and Mark Rammers (NL)
