"I wanted to get out and walk southward toward the park through the soft twilight, but each time I tried to go I became entangled in some wild, strident argument which pulled me back, as if with ropes, into my chair. Yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets, and I was he too, looking up and wondering. I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustib

Parallel to the big "Tropics"-Show in the Martin-Gropius-Bau he is now pleased to present DAVAO, new work by Ingar Krauss.

In French photographer Martin Argyroglo’s hypnotic ‘Dreaming City’, the urban space is feverish with accidental theatre, waking dreams fixed in suspended time. The people captured in found scenes all seem to de waiting for something, a moment of lucidity, perhaps, a trace of the divine.

It has already been a few decades ago that Twombly's work was last exhibited in the Netherlands.

In celebration of his eightieth birthday, various exhibitions are paying tribute to him this year. Among the

Bert Teunissen, photographe néerlandais, est entré par hasard, un jour de 1996, dans un vieux café de Castelnau, en Provence. Il n’a jamais oublié.

Marc Berville Prospects and MB Fotografie are pleased to announce  Whiteneses, the first personal exhibition of the finish photographer Ari Kakkinen at the 7D Brunnenstrasse gallery.

In a closed space, vacant of all perceptible human presence, filled with wraiths and a sacral magnetism, the theatre of memory and time is played out.
Ari Kakkinen in a sculptor gesture, places the white of cloth layers, freezing an achromous all-over and carving thus, a mental landscap

Photography is present everywhere. It plays a formative role in all societies and in private, public, intimate, commercial, and "free" areas of our lives. It is also present in the closed off areas, there where it is "dark", where we withdraw from society, or where acts are excluded from society. For eroticism, sexuality, desire, and identity, photography is a central visual tool: as document, stimulation, instrument of power, and as artistic form of expression.

While the mandala is an artistic form rarely associated with photography, a new exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Photo Mandalas: Bill Armstrong and Milan Fano Blatny, will present more than thirty-five works by Armstrong (American, born 1952) and Blatny (Czech, born 1972), two contemporary photographers who have been inspired by this ancient symbol. The artists draw on the mandala concept in producing these images, although they have interpreted it liberally. While their technica
