Les Rencontres de la photographie, Arles

The inevitable sad news, Arles 2020 is cancelled.

ARLES 2020
CANCELLATION

For nearly two months, the Rencontres d’Arles has considered every possibility to adjust to an unprecedented situation and keep the festival going while maintaining social distancing.

But it is impossible to produce exhibitions and equip the venues. International travel has come to a standstill and public gatherings have been banned for the foreseeable future. Health has become the top priority. All of these factors have led us to reluctantly cancel the 2020 Rencontres d’Arles.

No decision has ever been harder to make. The Rencontres d’Arles has taken place every year for 50 years.

The Board of Directors, which met today, decided to cancel the 2020 Rencontres d'Arles in order to safeguard its future.

Aware of this decision’s severe consequences, we are seeking alternatives. We will support the artists and curators as much as possible by paying them their exhibition rights. We are leaving no stone unturned to support our teams, whose commitment, enthusiasm and determination have never wavered. We have a thought for the many Arles residents who have pulled together to welcome the festival’s visitors throughout the summer.

Faced with this unprecedented situation, the municipal, departmental, regional and national authorities, which have always stood by us, have reaffirmed their unwavering commitment to the festival. We are grateful for their powerful support, which will allow the Rencontres d’Arles to take place in 2021.

With a heavy heart, but more determined than ever, the Rencontres d'Arles team remains committed to what connects us: photography.

Laura Hirvi is the director of the Finnland-Institut in Deutschland (Germany), a forum for Finnish culture & arts, academia, and business in the German-speaking region. In this episode we learn about about her German-Finnish background and growing up with two cultural identities, her time spent in the USA and Asia, and how these experiences led her to become director of the Finnland-Institut in Deutschland.

Since entering this role in 2015 Laura has increased the exchange between Berlin and Helsinki, as well as establishing and nurturing networks throughout Germany, Austria & Switzerland for promoting Finnish culture. The 2020 thematic focus at the Institute The Interplay Between Humans and Nature is especially timely in light of COVID-19 and heightened awareness of climate change.

Interview with Laura Hirvi recorded by Michael Dooney on 20. March 2020 in Berlin, Germany.

The Finnish Institute

We were happy to receive (and read!) an overall of 129 applications for the first Together Alone round! We've gone through amazing applications by artists and collectives from across the globe - from Finland to Burkina Faso, from Japan to India and Australia. Five projects have now been selected, taking us on an exploration of artistic practices in times of physical isolation: artists weaving futurology and contemporary dance practices, studying fresh-water polyps and creating algorithms based on Covid-19 data, and others focusing on collaborative practices via soundscapes and online reading programmes.

The selected projects from the first round are:

• Across the Way With... by Shimmer Rotterdam and PUBLICS

• Bodytalk by Simo Vassinen, Roope Mokka and Maria F. Scaroni

• Hydra Human Hybrid by Charles Quevillon and Maija Tammi in collaboration with Tedd Robinson

• Untitled by Maria Korkeila

• World Wide Window by Mikki Nordman

The project still continues. Send your proposal our way by April 20th or May 4th at 4 p.m (EEST). Let's try to make the most out of this situation – together.

Tammen muistikirjassa lukee: “Entä Hydra vulgaris?”

Tänään ilmestyneessä Helsingin Sanomien Kuukausiliitteessä taitelijaprofessori Maija Tammi kertoo yhteistyöstään biologi Daniel E. Martinezin kanssa; siitä miten he tutkivat biologisesti kuolematonta makean veden polyyppia hydraa ja muurasivat pitsauunia.

Tammen ja Ville Tietäväisen taidetta, tiedettä ja tarinankerrontaa yhdistävä kirja: Immortal. Lost Memoirs of Cornelia Dulac Concerning the Freshwater Polyp Hydra julkaistaan 23.4. Lue lisää teoksesta: https://shop.aalto.fi/p/1316-immortal/

Sophie Dumaresq

Though provoking new work from Sophie Dumaresq, who we caught up with a few years ago during EMOP Berlin - European Month of Photography when she was last in Europe.

https://michaeldooney.podbean.com/e/interview-with-artist-sophie-dumaresq-ep5-subtext-discourse-podcast/

In todays Canberra Times 💗✨ Reviewed by Brian Rope

"Viewing the work allows us to seriously consider the intersection of humans and material culture. Human hair was chosen due to its nitrogen bonds, that can be used as fertiliser absorbed by both the soil and the crops we consume.

The hair was collected from women to draw attention to the connection of that of the female body and that of livestock - agricultural and sexual means of production and reproduction.

In addition to being works to contemplate, the images consider "how our present-day treatment of the land will not only have consequences in the future but are already happening and are here".

They explore symbiotic cycles of consumption, destruction and creation demonstrating how as a species we relate, show empathy and evolve with and within our surrounding environment."

Still hard to comprehend how much the world has changed since this interview was recorded only four weeks ago. Michael Dooney met up with Berlin based curator and author Lena Fliessbach to learn about her journey as an independent curator. Since the pandemic was still yet to hit, there is of course no mention of it during their conversation. However her latest exhibition ZERO WASTE, which was due to open at the Museum der bildenden Künste Leipzig on the 26th of March 2020, is unfortunately postponed until further notice. This show presents many big picture issues - such as sustainability, globalisation and industrialised animal agriculture - which we are now all forced to contend with.

Lena Fliessbach has been working as a curator and author since 2007. She completed her studies in art history, modern history and Latin American studies at the Freie Universität Berlin and the Universidad de Granada, Spain in 2010 with the master's thesis "Aspects of Staging in Contemporary Street Photography". 2010-2011 she worked at Wim Wenders & Donata Wenders Wenders Images organised various exhibitions and book projects for Donata and Wim Wenders. After which she was the first participant in the two year curatorial program at Galerie im Turm, the municipal gallery Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. Since then Lena has worked as an independent curator on a number of significant exhibition projects, often in collaboration with Hannah Beck-Mannagetta, which typically include an educational component under the title Walk the Talk. Her latest exhibition ZERO WASTE "takes a critical look at the current condition of our planet but also aims to imagine possible solutions, encourage alternative scopes of action, and propose visions for the future."

Hope that everyone is taking care in light of current events and the uncertain outcome of the corona virus. In today's episode of Subtext & Discourse Michael Dooney caught up with Berlin based photo media artist Boris Eldagsen. Michael has known Boris for many years now and in fact interviewed him back in 2014 when we presented his series Safety by Numbers in a group show about typologies.

Picking up where the previous conversation left off, we find out how his artistic process has evolved over the past six years, the new direction his work has taken, how photography festivals (Voies Off, Fotofestiwal Lodz, Chobi Mela International Festival of Photography among others) were a game changer, the influence of Roger Ballen Photography on his work and upcoming solo exhibition this summer during the 2020 edition of Les Rencontres de la photographie, Arles in the south of France.

Don't just talk about supporting women in the arts, actually support them and their work.

MGA - Monash Gallery of Art: Today, on International Women’s Day, we would like to share and celebrate the work of Polixeni Papapetrou with this recent acquisition. This photograph forms part of Polixeni Papapetrou Page’s series Between worlds, which is typical of her practice in that it is made up of staged images of her children, Olympia and Solomon. In this series, which was shot in a variety of Australian landscape settings, her children’s identities have been completely concealed by headdresses in the shape of animals. Her children have been turned into fictitious characters that hover between the world of humans and the world of animals. Created at a time when Olympia and Solomon were moving towards adolescence, this series signifies Papapetrou’s interest in the in-between, transitionary stages of life.

Papapetrou (1960–2018) first began taking photographs in the 1980s, creating documentary-style portraits of drag queens, body builders and Elvis fans. Soon after the birth of her first child, Papapetrou’s artistic practice began to focus on projects that employed her children, Olympia and Solomon, as models. Her work has been exhibited widely since 1996 and she is recognised nationally and internationally for her staged images that show her children dressed in costumes and masks while performing in front of real and imaginary backgrounds.
