photo london this week photographed in tokyo on three visits over a 15 year period nothing eventually records the perplexing extremes that exist in this strange and complex mega city a place that defies comprehension the city speaks to the traveller in riddles nothing is what it seems its complexity is baffling and full of contradictions village like suburban streets sit quietly alongside the love hotels the pachinko parlours the boy girl meet up clubs the harajuku girls and the endless neon cultural cross overs are the norm with japanese tradition blending with the tokyo hello kitty version of us teen pop culture the aged shuffle on while youth push the extremes the city seems all surface and one is left on departure feeling none the wiser this leaves the western traveller feeling that despite the depth of the city s unique japanese culture there is an aura of impending doom where the brilliance and glitter of tokyo s veneer will inevitably lead to an unhappy ending known for his evocative and unsettling images harvey benge s focus is on picture series realised through the photo book with over sixty titles to date his work has been published in britain france germany italy japan and new zealand his photographs have also been shown in public and private galleries in the uk and throughout europe as well as in new zealand working in both auckland and paris he explores the nature of reality investigating the overlooked the unseen and the insignificant in the first world s urban environments a particular interest is the notion of parallel lives while something is happening here something else is happening over there in his search for the absurd and bizarre in the urban landscape small moments of everyday life flash with ambiguity and tension contrasts and conflicts part humorous often he shows disturbing signs of differences small anarchies an urban dream at the edges of reality deichtorhallen hamburg one of the few photographers today

published by editions xavier barral the 8 x 10 book has 96 pages with 44 colour photographs terri s book is the third in a series on birds from xavier barral with other titles from pentti sammallahti and bernard plossu terri weifenbach has a fresh and authentic voice with photographs that are both beautiful and charged with an existential sense of intrigue and mystery on that score des oiseaux does not disappoint photo eye says this terri weifenbach s photographs present the secret world of nature populated by birds created in the space of her personal garden they reveal the life hidden in the tits sparrows and various passerines that nest in urban gardens oscillating between fantasy and reality her images seem to be taken on the sly they show stolen moments suspended flights birds dissimulated in the foliage a loner gallantly perched on a branch but also aerial ballets of linnets and chases between jays and thrushes most often taken at ground level nose in the grass with the lens lost among the flowers her photographs appear to substitute the ornithologist s enthralled eye as it observes another world that of birds the seasons follow in succession the colours of the garden vary passing from oranges to the bright blues and greens of summer to the immaculate white of winter saturated light and colour plays on blurred and crystal clear details and freeze frames depict a supra reality terri weifenbach immerses us in the infinitely small transporting us into a particularly lively world in which birds race at top speed dance or settle freeze and gather in parliaments she reveals the marvels of their world terri weifenbach was born in new york and has lived in new mexico and california before moving to washington dc the creation of books which she designs herself plays a major role in her photographic practice she has published many books including in yours dreams between maple and chestnut and gift coproduced with japanese photographer rinko kawauchi her work is regularly presented in international museums and institutions in the united states europe and japan you can see more on the photo eye site here and on terri weifenbach s website

iterations the first running until july 10 2019 and the second july 24 2019 until january 5 2020 the guggenheim says this in the thirty years since his death robert mapplethorpe 1946 1989 has become a cultural icon one of the most critically acclaimed and controversial american artists of the late twentieth century mapplethorpe is widely known for daring imagery that deliberately transgresses social mores and for the censorship debates that transpired around his work in the united states during the late 1980s and early 1990s yet the driving force behind his artistic ethos was an obsession with perfection that he bought to bear on his approach to each of his subjects in 1993 the guggenheim received a generous gift of approximately two hundred photographs and unique objects from the robert mapplethorpe foundation initiating the museum s photography collection today the guggenheim celebrates the sustained legacy of the artist s work with a yearlong exhibition program conceived in two sequential parts and presented in the museum s mapplethorpe gallery on tower level 4 the first part of implicit tensions january 25 july 10 2019 features highlights from the guggenheim s in depth mapplethorpe holdings including early polaroids collages and mixed media constructions iconic classicizing photographs of male and female nudes floral still lifes portraits of artists celebrities and acquaintances explicit depictions of new york s underground s m scene and searingly honest self portraits the second part of implicit tensions july 24 2019 january 5 2020 will address mapplethorpe s complex legacy in the field of contemporary art a focused selection of his photographs will be on view alongside works by artists in the guggenheim s collection including rotimi fani kayode lyle ashton harris glenn ligon zanele muholi catherine opie and paul mpagi sepuya this exhibition is organized by lauren hinkson associate curator collections and susan thompson associate curator with levi prombaum curatorial assistant collections robert mapplethorpe was born november 4 1946 in floral park new york he left home in 1962 and enrolled at the pratt institute brooklyn in 1963 where he studied painting and sculpture and received his b f a in 1970 during this time he met artist poet and musician patti smith she encouraged his work and posed for numerous portraits when they lived together in brooklyn and in the chelsea hotel in manhattan a gathering place for artists writers and musicians in the early 1970s it was not mapplethorpe s original intention to be a photographer and from 1970 to 1974 he mainly made assemblage constructions that incorporate images of men from pornographic magazines with found objects and painting in order to create his own images for these collages mapplethorpe turned to photography initially using a polaroid sx 70 camera interested in portraiture mapplethorpe worked as a staff photographer for andy warhol s interview magazine he also produced album covers for smith and the group television and at the same time photographed socialites and celebrities such as john paul getty iii and carolina herrera t two of mapplethorpe s friends were influential in his continuing exploration of photography as a means of art making he met john mckendry curator of prints and photography at the metropolitan museum of art new york in 1971 the curator bought mapplethorpe his first camera and persuaded him to take up photography full time mapplethorpe traveled to europe for the first time with mckendry where he was introduced to many of the collectors who later became sitters for portraits curator and photography collector sam wagstaff whom he met in 1972 became mapplethorpe s friend and eventual lover encouraging the photographer s development gallery associations and career course they remained close until wagstaff s death in 1986 mapplethorpe had his first substantial shows in 1977 both in new york an exhibition of photographs of flowers at the holly solomon gallery and one of male nudes and sadomasochistic imagery at the kitchen mapplethorpe s diverse work homoerotic images floral still lifes pictures of children commissioned portraits mixed media sculpture is united by the constancy of his approach and technique the surfaces of his prints offer a seemingly endless gradation of blacks and whites shadow and light and regardless of subject his images are both elegant and provocative in the mid to late 1980s returning to the sculptural use of photography seen in his early assemblages mapplethorpe created sensual diptychs and triptychs of photographs printed on fabric and luxurious cloth panels in 1988 four major exhibitions of his work were organized by the stedelijk museum amsterdam the whitney museum of american art new york the institute of contemporary art university of pennsylvania philadelphia and the national portrait gallery london mapplethorpe died due to complications from aids on march 9 1989 in boston the institute of contemporary art s retrospective continued to travel after mapplethorpe s death although the exhibition had sparked no controversy at its first two venues the threat of right wing objections to the photographs of s m and homoerotic acts prompted officials at the corcoran gallery of art in washington d c to cancel the show two weeks before its scheduled
