DAPHNE OHNE APOLL. Verwandlungen von Richter bis Lassnig aus der Sammlung Klöcker.
13 March - 31 July 2022
Kunst- und Kulturstiftung Opelvillen
Rüsselsheim
Germany
www.opelvillen.de

The exhibition showcases works from the Klöcker Collection that depict the transformations of creatures or objects into something else. For 30 years now, Maria Lucia and Ingo Klöcker from Bad Homburg have been collecting art with a personal focus, namely portrayals of women. The couple’s collection of such portraits includes works by both male and female artist. To date, they have assembled a wide variety of paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures ranging from the post-War period to the present which entail surprising positions and striking metamorphoses.
Metamorphoses are very noticeably present in contemporary art, where they take a tremendous number of different shapes. The Daphne without Apollo exhibition attempts to shed light on the possible interpretations of transformations by means of a broad range of examples by a wide variety of artists. Whether they are rooted in tradition or are more forward-looking, metamorphoses of humans and animals or plants can offer new insights into the natural world, especially in today’s technological society which is so defined by digital culture and thus our indirect and virtual experience of reality.

EL FRACASO DE LA IMAGEN
La fotografía y sus contrafácticos 

Ernst van Alphen

266 pages, published by CENDEAC, 2022

El fracaso de la imagen trata de entender la fotografía a partir de sus diferencias respecto a la realidad que representa, analizando las diferentes maneras en las que la fotografía transforma aquello que se encuentra ante el objetivo. La fotografía no solo está determinada por sus características técnicas, sino también por sus métodos convencionales. Este método se puede identificar en lo que actualmente se llama "instantánea". Pero el medio fotográfico permite una diversidad de prácticas y dar lugar, por lo tanto, a una variedad de imágenes fotográficas. Para ver esto, tenemos que evaluar una variedad de imágenes y prácticas fotográficas que se escapan a los límites del método dominante. En este libro la imagen fotográfica se analiza a través de una serie de prácticas que rechazan el método dominante, a saber: la fotografía escenificado, la fotografía borrosa, la fotografías sub y sobreexpuesta y la fotografía de archivo.
Con obras de Arturo Bragaglia, William Henry Fox Talbot, Juul Kraijer, Awoiska van der Molen, Thomas Ruf, Francesca Woodman entre otros.

CD cover
Marion von Tilzer ~ Into Eternity 
(TRPTK, 2023)

A tribute to Vilma Grunwald based on the letter to her husband, written moments before her death in Auschwitz.
With Bella Adamova (mezzo soprano), Maya Fridman (cello, voice), Belinfante Quartet, Michael Hesselink (clarinet), Jacobus Thiele (percussion) & Marion von Tilzer (composition, & piano).

‘Into Eternity’ is a complex story of unimaginable sadness, yet at the same time, it portrays the incredible human capacity of love, courage, and resiliency, told through the eyes of a woman against the backdrop of the Holocaust - one of the most gruesome moments in human history. In the letter to her husband, Vilma shines a light on the very core of what it means to be a resilient human being. This project is part of 'Meetings with Remarkable Women – music inspired by women's lives', a series of interdisciplinary art projects by composer/pianist Marion von Tilzer.

'Hand of the 16 year old artist held by hand of the 36 year old artist', 2007

The Sir Mark Fehrs Haukohl Collection
of European Women Photographers
2000-2020
Edited by Manfred Heiting

144 pages, 300 images, hardback / clothbound 24 x 28.5 cm
will be published by Steidl in June 2023

An eclectic anthology of photo-based art by European women photographers from Yto Barrada to Shirana Shahbazi.

This is the first publication to comprehensively explore the Texas-based philanthropist Sir Mark Fehrs Haukohl’s collection of work by European women photographers. One of the largest of its kind, the collection comprises 220 works by nearly 90 emerging and established women photographers from 17 countries in Western and Eastern Europe. Covering photo-based art made between 2000 and 2020, Haukohl’s selection questions notions of nation, identity and gender, with an emphasis on representations of the body and associated themes of beauty, femininity and objectification. Artists including Yto Barrada, Uta Barth, Carolle Bénitah, Melanie Bonajo, Vanessa Beecroft, Valerie Berlin, Natalie Czech, Eva Kotátková, Vera Lutter, Josephine Pryde and Shirana Shahbazi employ various materials and conceptual approaches to expand our understandings of what constitutes womanhood, Europe (for many, in the context of the legacy of Soviet rule) and the medium of photography itself.

CONTORSION
Histoire de la souplesse extrême en Occident, XIe - XXIe siècles
Ariane Martinez

Cet ouvrage retrace l’évolution de la contorsion du XIXe au XXIe siècle avec une optique anthropologique. Cet art sensible n’a pas toujours été une pratique féminine et érotisée : il s’inscrit dans une histoire plus large du corps et de sa perception. En présentant des images et documents d’archives aussi bien que des témoignages d’artistes contemporaines – dont le nom et la parole sont encore à faire entendre –, Ariane Martinez retrace les mutations du regard porté sur les corps et la practique de la souplesse.

271 pages, 23 x 16 cm, publié par la Société d’histoire du théâtre, Paris, 2021

ANIMALS
Photographs that make you think
Henry Carroll

An innovative and insightful look at our relationship with animals in the age of the Anthropocene from bestselling author Henry Carroll with original images from an innovative array of contemporary photographers
See through the eyes of a new generation of photographers responding to the rapidly unfolding issues shaping our lives. In this series of small, revealing, and beautifully presented books, Henry Carroll, the bestselling photography writer of the last decade, considers the ideas behind images to present personal perspectives on climate change, race, sexuality, gender, faith, inequality, beauty, power, and the natural world. In this second book of the series, ANIMALS, Carroll deep-dives into an ecosystem of contemporary images to consider how we relate to animals in the Anthropocene. His accessible analysis of emotive imagery suggests that our appreciation for some animals and disregard, or repulsion, for others is shaped by our own physicality as much as theirs. He shows how the conventions of natural history offer a very politicized understanding of fauna and how the role of animals as spiritual, cultural, and personal symbols can be an equally valid means of classification.
Carroll reflects on the psychological power struggles infusing our daily interactions with animals and unpacks the photographers’ visual insights relating to our treatment of animals, whether it’s the way we pamper them as pets or consume them to excess. In this diverse collection of arresting images and engaging text, Carroll regards the photographers as modern-day philosophers, original thinkers who show us how to fuse technique, concept, and imagination in order to pose intriguing questions about the animal kingdom and human nature. For both the creators and consumers of images, this timely book contains a treasure trove of meaningful visual reflections that will prompt you to rethink your relationship with animals both domestic and wild.

FAILED IMAGES
Photography and its Counter-Practices
Ernst van Alphen

Failed Images attempts to understand the divergence between photography and the reality it portrays, analysing the various ways the photograph transforms that which exists in front of the camera. Photography is not only determined by technical features, but also by a conventional approach to it. This approach can be recognized in what is now called a 'snapshot'. But he photographic medium enables also very different practices and as a result very differnt kinds of photographic images. To see this, one needs to look at the diversity of photographic images and practices outside the dominant approach. Using close readings of the work of amongst others Cindy Sherman, Thomas Ruf, Dirk Braeckman, Juul Kraijer and Awoiska van der Molen, this book explores the photographic image by focusing on photographic practices refusing the dominant approach to the medium, namely staged photography, blurred photography, under- and overexposed photography and archival photography.

Ernst van Alphen is professor of Literary Studies at Leiden University (NL). Previously he was Queen Beatrix Professor of Dutch Studies and Professor of Rhetoric at UC Berkeley. He has published not only on literature, but also many books on art and photography.
