A SPRINGTIME REVOLUTION
OPEN SPACE AT ART COLOGNE
18 – 22 April 2007

Changing dates might not make a big difference for the ennuied art traveller, but the 41st ART COLOGNE has decided to move to April - for a revolution never better times but springtime. The third edition of OPEN SPACE will make it from the very heart of ART COLOGNE with a joint presentation of international galleries, artists and projects of contemporary art.

OPEN SPACE 2007 continues to explore the borders of an art fair, connecting contemporary art projects and solo shows of more than 40 international galleries to a project-oriented, spacious overall art presentation. Due to an intrinsic correlation between the selected art projects and the spatial set, OPEN SPACE has defined its own rules for the game to develop a novel almost urban quality of presence, presentation and perception of art – facing the demands of an informed, international public by carefully reflecting the contemporary contexts of artistic production and professional mediation.

OPEN SPACE is also about platforms for art related projects. This year, along the gallery presentations OPEN SPACE has invited various projects from Berlin, such as “Bless” as one of the advanced positions of conceptual fashion and the thematic bookstore “pro qm”. The “Berlin Posterverlag” will publish a special poster edition of one of the OPEN SPACE artists and “Texte zur Kunst” will be there to present their new magazine and all their artists’ editions.

PHotoEspaña
Madrid, Spain

http://www.phedigital.com

CAMPUS PHE07, an initiative of the Consejería de Cultura y Deportes de la Comunidad de Madrid and PHotoEspaña, celebrates its fourth edition with 10 workshops and master classes given by international photographers in Aranjuez, Spain. The workshops, directed towards photographers, artists and university students, offer an opportunity to work with professionals specialized in different areas of the field. The master classes are conferences, which allow the participants and general public to learn about the trajectory of each instructor. This year we are pleased to host workshops by the following photographers:

Anders Petersen (Sweden, 1944). He has sought to portray a human essence with social images since publication of his first book, the legendary Café Lehmitz.

Gilles Peress (France, 1946). Member and twice president of Magnum, he has undertaken in-depth documentary projects on Iran, Rwanda, Bosnia and North Ireland.

Antoine D´Agata (France, 1961). Member of Magnum and author of Stigma, Insomnia and Vortex he has seduced the public with an intimate and intense portrayal of nightlife and street life.

Eugenio Recuenco (Spain, 1969). Fashion photographer, his sophisticated images with cinematographic ambiances are entrusted to him by prestigious labels and magazines such as Vogue.

Daniel Canogar (Spain, 1964). Using digital technologies, he seeks to alter photographic formats by exploring the possibilities of images in installations and projections that submerge the public in them.

Peter Beard (United States, 1938). His true passion is Africa, subject of most his books. In New York he has collaborated with creators as influential as Truman Capote, Andy Warhol and Francis Bacon.

Eikoh Hosoe (Japan, 1933). One of the most celebrated Modern photographers in Japan, he is a university professor and museum director in Tokyo.

Sylvia Plachy (United States, b. Hungry, 1943) A regular contributor to the Village Voice, she creates mysterious images of everyday life that set her work apart from conventional photojournalism.

Andres Serrano (United States, 1953) Internationally known for the polemic piece entitled Piss Christ, his conceptual photographs reflect upon the ironies of our society.

Isabel Muñoz (Spain, 1951) Using old photographic processes, she portrays corporal expression, from traditional dances to African rituals and circus acrobats.

PHotoEspaña2007, the International Festival of Photography and Visual Arts in Madrid, celebrates its 10th anniversary from May 30 to July 22, 2007. In addition to over 50 exhibitions presented in museums, art centres and galleries, the Festival also organizes diverse activities, including portfolio reviews, conferences, nocturnal projections and workshops.

In 2007 we are pleased to count on the participation of: Anders Petersen, Gilles Peress, Antoine D´Agata, Eugenio Recuenco, Daniel Canogar, Peter Beard, Eikoh Hosoe, Sylvia Plachy, Andres Serrano and Isabel Muñoz.

Presentation House Gallery, Vancouver and Bywater Bros. Editions, Toronto, are pleased to announce the release of the second issue of Lynn Valley, an ongoing series of publications designed and edited exclusively by artists.

Lynn Valley #2/ Kleenex Mathematics expands on Cologne based artist Johannes Wohnseifer’s recent explorations with spam email. Working with a series of diaristic photographs taken in the past two years, Wohnseifer has overlain unedited spam texts, creating collages of word and image that blends autobiographic detail, historical allusion and dense visual puns with the found poetics of strategically designed, nonsensical language.
