›Keep Your Eyes Peeled‹ ist ein Ausstellungsprojekt der AFF Galerie und findet in unregelmäßigen Abständen zu bestimmten Kunsthighlights in den Räumen der Galerie statt.
Während des diesjährigen Berlin Gallery Weekends wird eine Gruppenausstellung mit Arbeiten der AFF-Fotograf*innen sowie ausgewählten Künstler*innen aus dem erweiterten Umfeld der Galerie zu sehen sein.

Fotografie ist heute ein Medium, das unseren Alltag wie kaum ein anderes durchdringt – als Kommunikationsmittel, Erinnerungsträger, Dokumentations- und Beweisstück, zur Selbstvergewisserung, als Forschungsgegenstand, Notiz und selbstverständlich auch als Kunstwerk. Bilder werden aufgenommen, füllen unsere Festplatten, leuchten auf den diversen Screens auf und setzen sich in unseren Gedanken fest. Die Apparatur, das Smartphone, die Kamera, der Datenträger, oder auch die WLAN-Übertragung geschehen meist im Hintergrund und wir durchdringen deren Vorgänge innerhalb der Bildproduktion nicht. Wir sind umgeben von einer Vielschichtigkeit der Bilder, die unser Sehen und Erleben derart prägen, dass der verschachtelte Alltag teilweise erleichtert, aber auch umso undurchdringlicher erscheint.

Die AFF Galerie setzt ihr Ausstellungsformat ›Keep Your Eyes Peeled‹ fort, um auf Entwicklungen und Tendenzen zeitgenössischer Fotografie zu reagieren. Eine kuratierte Auswahl an Bildern wird in einer kurzen Ausstellungssequenz, temporär, an einem gemeinsamen realen Ort (die Galerie) zurückgeführt.

Teilnehmende Künstler*innen: Julia Autz, Philipp Czampiel, Ronja Falkenbach, Florian Bong Kil Grosse, Dana Rabea Jäger, Maren Katerbau, Maidje Meergans, Saskia Reis, Sarah Straßmann, Franca Wohlt, Louisa Boeszoermeny, Miji Ih, Michael Schäfer, Estefanía Landesmann, Anya Tsaruk, Vedad Divovic, Anastasia Khoroshilova, Marlene Charlotte Limburg, Andrea Gjestvang , Lydia Hansen, Vedad Divovic, Bob Jones, Mario Heller, Marco Leitermann, Kristina Miller, Sophie Kirchner, Lukas Städler, Eva Gjaltema, Lena Engel, Robin Hinsch, Sergio Belinchón, Mirjana Vrbaški, Oskar Schlechter, Anika Spereiter, Milan Koch, Maxi Pfeil, Efi Longinou, Jana Stein, Raphael Helmut Schmitt, Aimilia A.

The Colorado Photographic Arts Center (CPAC) and Photolucida are thrilled to announce the exhibit Alone Together: Critical Mass 2023 Top 50 at CPAC’s new space in Denver, February 23 – April 13, 2024.
 
“For years, I’ve wanted to bring Critical Mass to Denver,” said Samantha Johnston, CPAC Executive Director & Curator, who also served as one of the 2023 Critical Mass jurors. “With our new, larger space, it’s finally possible for us to bring this important international exhibition to Colorado. We are humbled to be the only gallery in the U.S. to have this honor.”  
 
The show is special for two reasons, Johnston says.
 
“First, the photography is world-class. Every artist in the Critical Mass Top 50 deserves a solo exhibition,” she said. “Second, Colorado is home to a thriving community of photographers, many of whom aspire to be successful at the international level. The Critical Mass exhibition is an opportunity to see – up close and in person – a selection of photographs that 200 influential art-world professionals think is worth exhibiting, publishing, and collecting.”
 
What kind of photographs can visitors expect to see in Alone Together? While subjects and styles vary, the common thread is “alone-ness” – not to be confused with loneliness, says Curator Daniel Boetker-Smith, Director of the Australian Centre for Contemporary Photography. His selection includes one image from each of the Top 50 artists’ portfolios.
 
“For most photographers, the act of making an image, the moment itself, is one of ‘happy solitude’ (to borrow from Raymond Depardon). Photography gives us the opportunity to embrace alone-ness, in that moment a split second of silence, a decision, an intake of breath and the release of the shutter. Simultaneously photographs always exist in a state of flux, they do not exist in isolation, they oscillate through space and time being read, re-read and interpreted. The photographer, the subject, and the photograph itself are all alone together or somewhere in-between.
 
Each photograph in this exhibition provides space for you to ponder, to observe and to be alone in your thoughts. In doing so I ask you to occupy a spot in front of each image, pause, and consider the space each image provides, what does it mean to you? Where does your mind go when you consider the alone-ness presented here?”

Join us in Arles for the opening week’s Nuit de L'Année screening which features forty photographic proposals projected in loops onto large screens at the abandoned industrial site of the former Étienne paper mill. Our projection will celebrate our 15th Anniversary and includes 275 international artists chosen from our extensive archive and our 15th Anniversary open call for the 15-minute long video slideshow, containing six chapters. The images will come together to form new narratives through their juxtaposition, reflecting on all that we have achieved with our community over the last 15 years. Bringing together some of the festival’s favorite photographs, projects, and institutions, this great celebration of photography will feature performances, concerts, and DJ sets, with food trucks and bars on site. We hope to see you there!

Join us for “Past & Present”, a collaborative weekend-long celebration of our 15th anniversary in Pavillon 333 at Pinakothek der Moderne. We will be presenting “Contextualise” at Pinaktothek der Moderne, a rediscovery of the Der Greif archive through an interactive installation and artistic interventions from Friday, June 16 to Sunday, June 18, 2023. Admission is free, and the opening hours are as follows: Friday from 13:00 to 18:00, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00. In celebration of our anniversary and the spirit of interdisciplinary art, the Past & Present display embraces the power of diversity and change in our present moment. Visitors are encouraged to explore a selection from the extensive Greif archive and dive into submissions from our recent open call on the theme of "Past & Present" by arranging and rearranging the image materials, crafting new visual narratives or challenging existing ones. Responding to the results, we have invited Munich-based authors Mira Mann and Angela Aux to share their poetic interpretations through texts and public readings. Angela Aux will perform on Saturday the 18th at 11 am and Mira Mann will perform on the same day at 15 pm. Each day, you'll have the opportunity to take home the image cards used in the display for a small donation. The proceeds will directly contribute to our Guest Room Scholarship to support emerging artists. Don't miss this extraordinary event weekend! We look forward to welcoming you.

We cordially invite you to the upcoming vernissages of the PORTRAITS – Hellerau Photography Awards 2023!

Our now traditional exhibition venue is the rooms of the Dresden Technical Collections, which also house the extensive collection of the former municipal Museum for Photography. The vernissage of the finalist exhibition will take place here on March 16, 2023 – including the award ceremony (1st prize: EUR 5,000, 2nd prize: EUR 2,000, 3rd prize: EUR 1,000, Residency prize).

A day later, on March 17th, the first satellite exhibitions (N.N.) of the year open – and also, the solo exhibition of the new residency award winner (N.N.) at HELLERAU – European Center for the Arts.

Internationale, zeitgenössische Collage & Assemblage

Künstlerinnen aus aller Welt präsentieren Collagen und Assemblagen, die die Vielfalt aktueller Arbeitsweisen und Themen spiegeln.
Der Begriff 'Collage' (= 'Klebebild', von französisch 'coller' = 'kleben') meint die Technik der Bildenden Kunst, bei der durch Aufkleben verschiedener heterogener Elemente, z.B. fein ausgeschnittener Papierstücke oder anderer flacher Materialien, ein neues, zusammengesetztes Ganzes entsteht. Collageartige Klebebilde, welche aus den unterschiedlichsten Werkstoffen bestehen, waren bereits im alten Japan bekannt; hier wurden vor etwa 1000 Jahren Verzierungen in Form ausgeschnittener Bildsegmente auf Tuschezeichnungen appliziert.
Überträgt man die Technik der Collage auf dreidimensionale Gegenstände, so entsteht Assemblage.
Schnelllebigkeit und Hektik der modernen Gesellschaft lassen sich durch diese Verfahren hervorragend darstellen. Politische Ereignisse, kulturelle Strömungen, wirtschaftliche, künstlerische und gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen: Alles wurde und wird verarbeitet. Und durch den technischen Fortschritt, kamen auch immer mehr Motive und Mittel dazu.
Einige Künstlerinnen wollen, dass die verwandten Teilchen als solche erkennbar bleiben, um den Betrachtenden mehrere Bedeutungsvarianten zu ermöglichen, andere arbeiten in Schichten bis verschmolzene surreale Kompositionen entstehen.

Guest-Room

Guest Room is a monthly online exhibition with open submissions curated in real-time by personalities from the international photography scene

Guest Room aims to spark collaboration. Christoph Wiesner, head of the Rencontres d’Arles, has decided to collaborate with philosophy and photography graduate Aurélien Valette.

Together, they have developed the following framework for your submissions: “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”.

Cartography of Care is an exhibition curated in response to the idea of an emotional atlas. It brings together the work of an international group of artist mothers working across a variety of disciplines to explore how we might map the human experience of caregiving. The exhibition considers the relationships between geographies, maps and emotions and traces the physical and interior journeys and landscapes of these artists: Artworks which explore how the experience of care can be physically mapped on the maternal body, in domestic space, in our relationships with ourselves, and in how we care for others in times of crisis.

Exhibiting Artists:

Adele Mary Reed / Catherine Reinhart / Charlene Scott / Chloë Marsden / Daphne Bennett / Dafne Salis / Diana Krilova / Eva Gjaltema / Francesca Ricci / Gemma Gore / Hannah Turner-Duffin / Jena Love / Jenny Mason / Jessica Jane Charleston / JingLu Zhao / Judy Dibiase / Juliette Berkeley /  Josie McCoy / Kate Cameron Reid / Kate Holcomb Hale / Kathryn Rodrigues / Kelsey Ashe / Lila Chatfield /  Lillian Chun Lillias Kinsman-Chauvet / Lucia Boaghe / Lucy Cade / Maura Jamieson / Michelle Gallagher / Nina Gerada / Olivia de Fleuriot Perry / Renata Fernandez / Rosie Barnes / Sally Kesterton / Sarah Buckius / Shannon Rae Fincke / Wang Chen / Yuko Edwards

I am extremely happy and proud to have received an honorable mention for the International Collotype Competition Hariban Award 2022 for my series ‘Hiding/Hidden’

An image of my submitted work will be printed and published within the official Hariban Award catalogue. The catalogue will be printed in collotype and hand-bound by traditional binders in Kyoto, Japan. The catalogue will be published in 2023

Presented by Benrido, the Hariban Award combines a 160 year old analog technique with contemporary photography. Glass plates have been used as the base for collotype printing plates which still continues today. The award is called “Hariban ” as “Hari” means glass plate and “ban” means printing plate in Japanese. Established in 1887, Benrido has specialised in the unique printing technique known as Collotype and today remains as one of only a few studios left in the world capable of making fine colour collotype prints.

Since it’s currently not possible to continue my real life workshops in my studio, I like to offer online portfolio sessions in english, dutch or german for students or professional photographers who are looking for feedback for their projects.

Recently I had a review with Jensy and you can read her experience with me here:

Over a year ago I accidentally came across Eva’s website. Immediately upon seeing her work I felt a direct connection. Her style, the personal aspect of her work, felt like recognition. This connection was the reason why I decided to sign up for her online portfolio review session. Eva has reviewed one of my current projects in an accessible and professional manner. Not only has she given me various tips that have helped me on my way, but she has also encouraged me to dig a little deeper and keep experimenting to get even more out of my work. That Eva was well prepared for her portfolio reviews was clearly noticeable and in my opinion is a big plus. I experienced the online portfolio review with Eva as very pleasant and would definitely recommend it.

Book your review for €80 including VAT for 90 minutes at the ‘coaching and workshops’ section of my website!

I am working on a limited edition publication called 'The First Three Years'

The book will eventually consist of 96 pages and be printed at 140 x 180 mm format. The three projects: 'Sehnzucht', 'Sehnzucht: The Remix' and 'Interconnection' will be interspersed with short texts in six small chapters. I have been working on my first publication for some months now, together with graphic designer Amanda Butterworth. Together with artist Saskia Overzee she has made the beautiful selfpublished book 'Collective Memory'. Amanda's style really appeals to me and we have had extensive talks about the possibilities of my projects in book form. Amanda has not made it easy for the printing office Unicum (Gianotten) by processing two Japanese pages and two leporellos in the book. The whole is sewn, Swiss bound and printed on high-quality paper. By making a small edition of 250 I want to be able to offer a unique and high-quality object.

Texture in the realm of shadows

Groupshow 'Kontrapunkt' for the '48-h-Neukölln' festival from the 23rd untill the 25th of June 2017 in Berlin


Ana Bathe | Peter Ehrentraut | Aino Onia | Eva Gjaltema | Ivano Pellechia | Doreen Trittel

Originating from personal shadows, the artist group “Kontrapunkt” steers the view upon socially and politically relevant shadows. In the ambient light they illuminate texture within these shades. “Kontrapunkt” consists of six artists from different countries with their own experiences and means of expression: photography, installation, painting and words. The artists hit their particular gloomy roads and venture boldly and curiously into darkness. Thereby the artists’ different methods create a transition and elevate these shadows into the spotlight.

Place:

Das Labor, Fuldastr. 56, 12043 Berlin

Opening Times:
Fr 19 - 23 Uhr | Sa 14 - 22 Uhr | So 14 - 19 Uhr

I will sell a limited edition of 30 from 3 different poster motives for €75 only!
