Festival FOTOGRAFIA 2012 in Rome

September 19, 2012 By: romeblogger Category: Rome

The eleventh annual FOTOGRAFIA Festival is quickly approaching, and Rome is excited with this year’s theme: WORK. The event has garnered a steadily growing prestige and international scope and attention in its ongoing effort to promote contemporary photography in all its forms, styles and languages. The Festival has proven to be a boon for many up-and-coming talents on the photography scene, and great worth is placed on original works.

 

Festival <b>Fotografia</b> Rome

 

The Festival will run from the 20th of September to the 28th of October in 2012, and will once again involve the entire city of Rome. A network of public and private spaces will be put to use, building a great circuit throughout Rome dedicated to contemporary photography.

The Theme

The theme of this 11th edition of the Festival will be “work”. “Work” has been something of a keyword throughout the history of photography; however, it has come to the forefront in recent years as photographers attempt to reinterpret it by paying close attention to large and small changes in the languages of photography.

Thus, the Festival has chosen a theme classic to the 20th century and challenged participants to revive it with a fresh look at the central role of man and his place in 20th century world of work. While the vision of physical exertion and large working forces endures today, it is juxtaposed by more sophisticated, technical work – often solitary – that can be far more challenging to transform into a visual image.

Photographers will attempt to marry the old visions with the new. As they unite the two, we will, perhaps catch a glimpse of a more global vision, finding an effective tool for analyzing our contemporary world.

The Venues

Throughout the duration of the Festival, a slideshow will be projected at the MACRO Testaccio, showing pictures and information on specific exhibitions. Several academies and institutional spaces will also be exhibiting photographic works in conjunction with the Festival. These include the French Academy at Villa Medici, the Central Institute for Catalogue and Documentation (ICCD), Space Ceres, and the British School in Rome.

A wide range of private galleries and halls will also be participating in the exhibition. Stop by and see some of these fantastic works at Antonello Colonna Art, in various exhibits at the Cultural Association, B>Gallery, Bloo Gallery, Center Luigi Di Sarro, CSF Adams, and Doozo art book & Sushi. Also participating is the Courtyard Gallery, Archivo Sante Monachesi, Gallery Edieuropa, the Fondaco Gallery, and the Gallerati Gallery. Last, but not least, ILEX Exhibition Space, Mars, st photo gallery library, and Nuovo Mercato de Testaccio will also be offering select exhibits.

The Prizes

The photographic entries will be judged by an international panel, including such prestigious members as Marco Delogu, Bartholemew Pietro Marchi, Paul Wombell, and Francis Zanot. Two artists will be picked as winners and each will receive a prize of 3,500 Euros.

Photoshow Convention in Rome

March 08, 2012 By: romeblogger Category: Rome

The course of photography techniques since its creation is quite broad. Basically, a photograph reproduces with precise exactitude the image that is in front of the camera. Of course, the represented image can mean many more things above what it´s just portraying. Let´s talk about simple images, that aren´t edited under any effect, that are only the position of the portrait, the look of the model, its contexture or its body.

photoshow <b>fair</b> rome

In some way, the supposed operation of exact mimesis that a photographic camera takes conditions in the same way the creation of parallel fictions to new interpretations that link culture in different ways; a portrait of the past century has a lot more information that a simple smile. You just have to look further than the supposed decoration of the photograph, the stance of the model, his clothes or even the date of the photograph. On top of the photograph, from inside, stories and fictions generate, new version of reality that wanted to be captured.

What´s curious about this simple operation of meanings, today, is the ease with which it´s within our reach thanks to technology. We can build fictions from our experience in situations or models that we portray, whether it´s from the digital camera or the mobile phone. We´re not image producers but also storytellers that are looked at upon immediate responses, discussions and comments when we upload an image to our Facebook or Twitter accounts. Behind the mere action of sharing this information almost in real time, we´re being educated in the construction of new paradigms with respect to the narratives that are possible in time and the story that the images unfold. This way, we´re living in a time that fiction exalts everywhere and in which we are both protagonists and narrators of what we used to find difficult to reveal which, on the contrary, we share, repeat and leave it lying around in the great network of information that unites us.

To understand these effects a bit better, we have an even like Photoshow, the main event in Italy related to new digital photography, its possibilities and resources, both technical and commercial. Ando so the convention proposes different areas both for sale and information exchange and business, outstanding specialists in new photographic resources as well as international participants. And, of course, there will be an avid crowd from around Europe and the world who will be interested in new photographic advances, as well as 300 exhibitors from the most prestigious brands showing their products, specialized services and the newest in digital and traditional photography. A great outlook on video contents and production, photographic workshops, professional photographic kit and mini laboratories will also be there.

Expo Re-cycle in Rome

February 22, 2012 By: romeblogger Category: Rome

Until the 29th of April, the MAXXI Museum in Rome exhibits the interesting exhibition ´RE-CYCLE. Strategie per l´architettura, la città e il planeta´, which translates as ´Strategies for architecture, the city and the planet´, and it deals with the issue of recycling in architecture, to minimize the impact on nature by making the most of environmental factors in a harmonic way.

expo <b>recycle</b> rome

The exhibition is made up around drawings, photographs, witnesses and videos that give account of the sustainable projects in architecture, urbanism and landscapes. In the same exhibition there are works by artists, photographers and media producers.

To give a global image, the museum exhibits new projects and historical ones, such as the ones by Peter Eisemann and videos on recycling of abandoned works by Frank O. Gahry & Venturi and Scott Brown and Associates.

Peter Eisemann is an American architect of Jewish origin that worked with Walter Gropius, director of the Bauhaus. Known for his avant-garde and provocative vision, he´s the author of enormous constructions such as the Wexner Center for the arts of Ohio State University.

Another of the exhibitors is Lacaton & Vassal with the transformation project of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. The architects Anne Lacaton and Jean Philippe Vassal created an office in Bordeaux to produce single-family houses using, rationally, new materials that allowed them to design in an ingenious way rooming solution. Their architectonic concept is avant-gardist by using polycarbonate from industrial greenhouses that allows them to build bigger spaces and make better use of light, as well as their modern shapes incorporating nature. Their designs allow the co-existance of nature and mankind, respecting the trees by integrating them in the construction.

To show that recycling is related with architectonic work, they have set up works that show interesting proposals of creative recycling, such as the EcoArk structure in Taipei, made with 1.5 million used bottles by the Far Eastern Group. it´s 130 metres wide and 26 metres tall, and it was donated to the city´s council.

To make any sense from the architecture of recycling, there are two installations by the artists Fernando and Humberto Campana outside the museum. The work titled ´Maloca´, referring to the home of the indians in the Amazon, is made with wood and synthetic raffia to re-interpret indian houses that the public are received in.

One of the most creative works in the exhibition is the section with the faces of Jimi Hendrix and other rock stars, engraved on X-rays of a fractured skull or a broken leg due to the cold of Russia in wartime.

Today there are many techniques to design new shapes with waste materials and the architects have taken this possibility very seriously, especially when minimalist architecture allows them to work with simple elements that also give them good conditions to isolate and preserve cold in winter and heat in summer, handling light to live with less energy use, etc.

Photojournalist Steve McCurry in Rome

January 31, 2012 By: romeblogger Category: Rome

Until the 29th of April, the Museo D´Arte Contemporanea Roma-MACRO exhibits, at the Centro di produzione culturale, the work of the American photographer Steve McCurry. The exhibition is a tribute to one of the most important exponents of contemporary photojournalism, obtaining on various occasions the World Press Photo Award, considered the most important award in this field.

photojournalism mccurry rome

The work of McCurry has become a reference point for those who like photojournalism. Both he and his work are well known in Italy, becoming a reference for many young people who see the events of our time through his photographs. This reason has brought the MACRO Museum to make this exhibition that symbolizes a tribute of the Italian people to McCurry and his work.

The exhibition is commissioned by Fabio Novembre, who has taken the 200 best works made by McCurry of his 30 year career. Despite that the presentation of the young Afghan woman with green eyes in the exhibition is inevitable, there will also be some more recent works that gather the period between 2009 and 2011. Among the works that will be exhibited there will be photographs taken in Thailand and Myanmar (Burma), that include a spectacular series dedicated to Buddhism. There will also be some unknown work of his taken in Cuba.

Steve McCurry was born in 1950 in Philadelphia, United States. His start in photojournalism took place in a local newspaper. His first incursion outside the United States was in India, where he made an interesting tour to observe and capture the complex world of castes and misery in the middle of scenic and aesthetic beauty, given by the landscape and ancestral culture. In 1978 he moved to Afghanistan to make photojournalism and he stayed there covering the conflict until 1992. However, the work that took him to stardom in journalism and photography is the photograph ´Afghan Girl´, that appeared on the cover of National Geographic magazine in 1985 and which was reproduced in all the media of the time and the years after that, being considered as one of the most important images of the 20th century that has appeared in reports, posters, leaflets and all kinds of printed media.

The ´Afghan Girl´ is a photograph of Sharbat Gula, a 12 year old girl of the Pashtun tribe who was in a refugee camp in Pakistan. Her name he got to now 20 years later when he went back to the area and found her at the age of 30, with the pain of war reflected on her face.

His work has taken place in war fronts such as Beirut, Cambodia, Afghanistan and the surrounding areas, Kuwait, the former Yugoslavia and the Balkans. McCurry´s photographs tell us the horrors of war and the loss of the limits of reason that happen during these conflicts.

Éric Poitevin in Rome

September 28, 2011 By: romeblogger Category: Rome

Until the 25th of January, 2012 The French Academy in Rome, located in Villa Medici, has a spectacular exhibition with the photographic work by Eric Pointevin. The sample is mounted with the most recent work based on Pointevin´s landscapes, human and animal bodies.

eric poitevin

This exhibition is the second presentation is done in collaboration with the International Photography Festival of Rome: Photography 2011.

Pointevin Eric was born in France in 1961. His photographic work is interesting and somewhat intriguing. Located between the classical and abstract images, Pointevin plays with images and reconstructs the narrative of the photograph, especially when dealing with classic subjects such as landscapes, nudes and still lifes.

The most interesting thing of his works, is that they do not fit into any trend in contemporary photography, he is perhaps a lone wolf to fix the plane, see the speed and open the aperture to capture places while making sense out of context.

Sometimes it seems that his photos do not make much sense, because, in appearance, they are monotonous pictures, but with a second glance the viewer begins to feel that hypnotic sense that has this remarkable work, because it is understood that Pointevin seeks to create a relationship emotional, conceptual object that transforms a simple photo into a work of art.

He works close-ups, often, taking away with this abuse of close-ups, expressiveness, which increases with monochrome backgrounds, and the use of dim light. This deliberate search of certain neutrality takes his work to be suspended in the dialogue, prompting introspection on atavistic social fears, those that all members of the community live when they cannot explain something.

This is very clear in his still life, in which two human skulls on a white background, a semi is mounted on the other hand, speaks of power, violence, life or simply the fear of death that is common all human beings, but nevertheless is part of life.

Another of his famous photographs that explores the fears of religion, is the sacrifice of the lamb. Two sequential shots in which you see a slaughtered lamb hanging, with a completely white background, which highlights the blood on the floor. An interesting photo that makes the viewer intrigue about culture and beliefs.

One of his photographs that deeply catch the viewers´ attention is the Villa Medici, which is a nun in black and white profile portrait. The features of a women, the shadows and lights create a frightening picture, which tells about the dark side of religion that humans hide behind casings to hide their own weaknesses.

Giovanni De Angelis in Rome

August 17, 2011 By: romeblogger Category: Rome

Until the 15th of September, the exhibition “Water Drops” by the Neapolitan photographer Giovanni De Angelis is on display at the Macro Museum in Rome. This exhibition introduces a social and anthropological study of twins and their identity conflicts through the image.

giovanni <b>angelis</b> rome

There are some films that have explored the identity conflicts among siblings born from a single egg. Movies like, Pact of Silence, starring Gérard Depardieu and Elodie Bouchez, scan the perversion and almost supernatural connection of two twin sisters. However, those fantasies are not very applicable to reality, because despite of the fact that twins shared the uterus, they may have different sex, different physical appearance and even different racial features.

Giovanni de Angelis was born in Naples in 1969; he currently lives and works in Rome. His passion for photography started at a young age, working with a traditional approach. During the course of his professionalization, he looked for other ways of seeing through images by developing a particular interest in visual perception.

Intrigued by the stories of Candido Godoi, in the State of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, place in which there was an unusual birth of twins, to the point of being known as “Land of twins”, De Angelis traveled to there to have the experience of being in a place where identities were diffuse and conflict by the dissipation of particulars. The unique peculiarity of the Candido Godoi is that it is inhabited by families with German and Polish backgrounds, which called De Angelis attention.

From that trip, De Angelis explored the idea of the identity worlds seen from the ones who share life since its inception. The social, anthropological and psychological focus, led him to question the uniqueness of the individual, which is often a forgotten aspect by a society that creates diffusible identities from the media. This project was developed with the therapist Luisa Laurelli and consisted in photographing and interviewing twins about their experience in order to be able to configure their profiles.

The interesting thing about this experience is the encounter between science and art; two perspectives, sometimes antagonistic, but in this case complementary. In this union of interests and different approaches, Water Drops provides an intriguing hypothesis on the particular rural community Godoi Candido, referring to the possible genetic manipulation carried out by the so-called “Doctor Death” Joseph Mengele that after the Nazi defeat troops settled in Paraguay.

Although, this is an interesting aspect in the research, De Angelis is interested in the process of individuals to build their own self and identity, recognizing their similarities and differences. This is how photography speaks to us through the slightly different features, the grimaces, and the minutest details that differentiate us and give us the richness of particularity.

Spencer Tunick and his nude cities.

May 23, 2011 By: romeblogger Category: Rome

In artistic photography, taking pictures of naked human bodies is a tradition. On the other hand, if you have the appropriate sensitivity, a portrait of an urban landscape, at first glance something very common, could become art. Moreover, human beauty, in its natural state, can be reloaded and meaningful when two or more naked bodies pose for a camera. So what happens when you portray 18 thousand naked people in a public square?

spencer tunick

The American photographer Spencer Tunick, famous for his mass nude installations in the middle of urban and natural locations, always creates an environment in which people feel confident to pose for his camera in an artistic way, while having a unique nudist experience. His work began to become famous in 1986 when he visited London and photographed a nude at a bus stop, as well as scores of nudes in Alleyn´s School, in London, but it was until 1992, in New York, where he began to define the path that he would eventually follow, photographing small groups of naked people at public places. From 1994 to date, he has organized about 65 nude installations in various cities around the world. People being photographed by Tunick are mainly volunteers including: men, women, children and elderly, without distinction of any kind, who only receive a signed photograph in return for their participation.

Not everyone celebrates his work; members of the artistic community look down his work claiming that they are simple social events, losing the essence of the beauty of the body and making him just a nudist activist, not an aesthetic artist. However, others see in Tunick´s photographs a work of great visual impact that contrasts the modernity of the greatest architectural buildings with the human vulnerability at his total nudity. The photographer´s work has been widely publicized, and his convening power is so great that he managed to gather 18,000 volunteers who got naked together at the Constitution Square in Mexico City, on the 6th of May 2007. An unprecedented record.

Some of the cities that have become the stage for his lens, are: Byron Bay, Melbourne and Sydney (Australia), Cork and Dublin (Ireland), Bruges (Belgium), Buenos Aires (Argentina) Buffalo, Limestone, Cleveland and Miami Beach (USA) Lisbon (Portugal), London, Newcastle, Gateshead, Manchester and Salford (England), Lyon, Macon and Aurillac (France), Montreal (Canada), Rome (Italy), San Sebastian and Barcelona (Spain), Sao Paulo (Brazil), Caracas (Venezuela), Vienna (Austria); Düsseldorf (Germany), Helsinki (Finland), Santiago (Chile) Mexico city (Mexico), Amsterdam (Netherlands), and even in the Aletsch Glacier (Switzerland) for a Greenpeace campaign, among others. Of course, these events always generate aversion from people who qualify such events as an excuse for exhibitionism.

The last work of the photographer was held at France on the 21st of August 2010, and so far, there is no news to “undress” a city, but if you want to be informed about it, or you want to get to know Tunick´s work, you can visit http://www.spencertunick.com/.

Mick Jagger. The Photobook exhibition in Rome

March 04, 2011 By: romeblogger Category: Rome

Until March 23 the Mick Jagger. The Photobook’s retrospective is exhibited at the Auditorium Parco Della Musica in Rome. The retrospective ventures into the rock icon´s image to analyze the key factors that made him a representative of the style of fashion and sex symbol for more than forty years.

mick jagger

Mick Jagger was born in Dartford, England, in 1943. Although he was a good student, about to be awarded a scholarship to the London School Economics, he left his studies unfinished due to his interest in music. He founded the rock group Rolling Stone with his elementary classmate Keith Richards, where he became the lead singer and songwriter. At mid 80´s he started his solo career, ending a group that marked time along with the Beatles.

His love life has filled pages of tabloids, as well as the drug scandals that surround him in the myth of an era which proclaims freedom in the private and public life. Mick has experienced everything from being admitted on to hospital from an overdose of barbiturates and alcohol, until his arrest in London for possession of drugs. His first marriage to Bianca Perez Mora-Macias, a Nicaraguan student who frequented the famous Studio 54 in Manhattan, surprised because of the physiognomy similitude of the couple. In the photo of the wedding, Bianca appears to be the female version of Jagger. This gave rise to scathing remarks about Jagger’s sexuality. The couple became the symbol of sensuality, fashion week in Paris, London and New York of the 70’s. At the end of their marriage, Bianca became a human rights activist and ecology, while Jagger continued his career on stage and married model Jerry Hall.

His foray into cinema began as the star of Performance in 1968. Followed by Ned Kelly and Freejack and The man from Field Elyssian, which he starred alongside Andy Garcia, James Coburn and Anjelica Huston. On 2008 he performed Shine a Light with Martin Scorsese.

His thin face with full, sexy lips, evil-eyed and almost childlike body made him one of the most attractive and desired by men and women. His sweaty picture on stage, his endless movement and the sounds of his spectacular voice are in the minds of generations of fans, who consider him an eternal youngster and an antiestablishment symbol.

The exhibition Mick Jagger. The Photobook presents 70 portraits of Jagger made by famous photographers who build the narrative of his career and his particularly expressive gesture that has become an ever-present character. Among the wonderful pictures of this exhibition, there is the picture captured in 1967 by Cecil Baton, a photographer who photographed the celebrities between 50’s and 70’s, where the young Jagger appears serene, surrounded by black and white shadows that give a dramatic touch to his face. Baton also made a portrait titled “The Singer”.

Mick Jagger´s life is filled with juicy stories, like being considered jinxed or bad luck symbol by Brazilian soccer players for having supported England and the United States in the world, countries that were eliminated. However, his voice and interesting figure will go down in history of music and fashion.
