Press Kit the City-The Countryside Press Release The City—The Countryside Japanese photography of the 1960s and 1970s from the collection of the Museum der Moderne Salzburg June 20―September 13, 2020 Rupertinum Atrium, [1] & [2] Press In The City—The Countryside, the Museum der Moderne Salzburg revisits its globally unrivaled collection of Japanese photography of Mönchsberg 32 5020 Salzburg the 1960s and 1970s. The selection in the new exhibition puts the focus Austria on the interrelations between city, countryside, and society. T +43 662 842220-601 F +43 662 842220-700 Salzburg, June 1, 2020. The breathtaking work produced by Japanese photographers in the 1960s and 1970s no doubt constitutes a key chapter in [email protected] www.museumdermoderne.at the country’s more recent art history. The novel visual language they developed signals a radical departure from the traditional conception of the image. Thanks to the personal dedication of Otto Breicha, the Museum der Moderne Salzburg’s founding director, the museum has a collection of around six hundred vintage prints from the period—a body of work that is without parallel in Austria. More than four decades after these pictures were taken, we presented a first selection under the title I-Photo, a coinage borrowed from the literary genre known as I-novel. Titled The City—The Countryside, our second exhibition of Japanese photography now puts the focus on the interrelations between city, countryside, and society. “Salzburg owes this extraordinary treasure to Otto Breicha’s vision and collecting zeal. I am delighted that, in continuing the series on Japanese photography we initiated in 2018, we also once again demonstrate our expertise as a center for fine art photography in Austria,” says Thorsten Sadowsky, director of the Museum der Moderne Salzburg. Christiane Kuhlmann, curator of photography and media art, argues that the pictures on display in the show are “singular documents of their time. Due to its geographical situation, Japan was able to maintain autochthonous cultural, artistic, and photographic traditions until 1945. The country’s opening to the outside world—with the Olympic Summer Games in 1964, the 1970 World’s Fair in Osaka, and the construction of Tokyo’s international airport—paved the way for an unprecedented economic boom, but it also shattered the entire nation’s long-held self-image. The photographs reflect not so much the bright sides of this golden age as rather the process of transformation with its darker edges.” The exhibition The City—The Countryside illustrates how photographers perceived the country’s urban and rural topographies. Their style has been described as “are, bure, boke,” or “rough, blurry, out of focus.” With these pictures, the new Japanese photography—like the visual art of the postwar years before it—created a consciousness of the changing political and social reality. The two outstanding series Toshi-e / Towards the City (1974) by Yutaka Takanashi and To the Village (1973–76) by Kazuo Kitai stand at the center of the exhibition, which also brings the Salzburg debuts of the surreal pictures of Ikkō Narahara and works by Kikuji Kawada and Chōtoku Tanaka, who lived in Vienna in the 1970s and taught at the Salzburg College. All in all, the presentation will feature ca. two hundred works by twelve photographers, which, together with a look back at highlights in I-Photo, will limn a comprehensive portrait of this singular division of the Museum der Moderne’s collections.

  • Pressemappe Die City-Das Land
    Presseinformation Die City – Das Land Japanische Fotografie der 1960er- und 1970er-Jahre aus der Sammlung des Museum der Moderne Salzburg 20. Juni – 13. September 2020 Rupertinum Atrium, [1] & [2] Presse Mit Die City – Das Land präsentiert das Museum der Moderne Salzburg erneut einen Teil seiner weltweit einzigartigen Bestände an japanischer Mönchsberg 32 5020 Salzburg Fotografie aus den 1960er- und 1970er-Jahren. Im Mittelpunkt steht Austria diesmal das Verhältnis von Stadt, Land und Gesellschaft. T +43 662 842220-601 F +43 662 842220-700 Salzburg, 1. Juni 2020. Zu den größten künstlerischen Entwicklungen der [email protected] neueren Zeit in Japan gehört die atemberaubende Fotografie der 1960er- www.museumdermoderne.at und 1970er-Jahre. Die von den Fotografen entwickelte neue visuelle Sprache steht für einen radikalen Bruch mit der traditionellen Bildauffassung. Das Museum der Moderne Salzburg besitzt dank des persönlichen Engagements von Otto Breicha, dem Gründungsdirektor des Museums, ein Konvolut von rund 600 Vintage-Abzügen jener Zeit – das ist ein in Österreich einmaliger Bestand. Über 40 Jahre nach der Entstehung der Fotografien wurde ein erster Teil der Sammlung unter dem Titel I-Photo präsentiert, ein Begriff, der sich an das literarische Genre der Ich-Erzählung anlehnt. Die zweite Ausstellung japanischer Fotografie mit dem Titel Die City – Das Land rückt nun das Verhältnis von Stadt, Land und Gesellschaft ins Zentrum. „Durch den visionären Sammeleifer von Otto Breicha befindet sich dieser außergewöhnliche Bestand heute in Salzburg. Es freut mich sehr, dass wir die 2018 begonnene Reihe zur japanischen Fotografie fortsetzen und somit auch unsere Kompetenz als Zentrum für künstlerische Fotografie in Österreich erneut unter Beweis stellen können“, so Thorsten Sadowsky, Direktor des Museum der Moderne Salzburg.

  • Yutaka Takanashi “Niche Tokyo” Dates: Aug 22 – Sep 26, 2015 Location: Taka Ishii Gallery Photography / Film Opening Reception: Saturday, Aug 29, 18:00 – 20:00
    Yutaka Takanashi “Niche Tokyo” Dates: Aug 22 – Sep 26, 2015 Location: Taka Ishii Gallery Photography / Film Opening reception: Saturday, Aug 29, 18:00 – 20:00 Taka Ishii Gallery Photography / Film is pleased to present “Niche Tokyo,” a solo exhibition of works by Yutaka Takanashi from August 22 to September 26. This will be Takanashi’s second solo exhibition with Taka Ishii Gallery and include 13 works from his new series “Niche Tokyo,” the third installment of his three-part work which comprises his previous series “Nostalghia” and “Kakoi-machi (Fencing city).” Since starting his photographic practice in the late 1950s, Takanashi has used various methodologies in a numerous series of works, which all consistently addressed the “city.” He has always explored the interface between observation and participation in photography. In this current series, which was informed by Masahiko Shimada’s novel Looking for a Niche (2012) and Jun Tanaka’s ecological analysis of the city, Takanashi has focused on searching for niches in the city. Instead of looking at the transformations of the city itself, Takanashi has collected traces of things used in countless people’s actions to capture the contours of the urban environment and document the city’s “ecological landscape.” An environment corresponding to the survival of a certain species of the animal is called “ecological niche,” but, again, it is not the physical environment, but it is the space that can be found only after some sort of deeds were repeatedly taken place by the animals. Likewise, “livable urban cities” are not merely a body of buildings and architectures, but must be ecological niche for the current human species.

  • Daido Moriyama
    Daido Moriyama Born in Osaka in 1938, Daido Moriyama first trained in graphic design before taking up photography under Takeji Iwamiya and later working as Eikoh Hosoe’s assistant for three years. He began his career as an independent photographer in 1964, gaining instant recognition with his first publication, Japan: A Photo Theater, and for his association with Provoke magazine for its second issue in 1968. Since then, Moriyama’s artistic output has shown no signs of slowing, with more than 150 publications and 100 solo exhibitions to his name to date. Renowned for capturing the social unrest of post-war Japan, a rapidly changing country caught between traditional values and nascent subcultures, Moriyama’s brutal approach to photography perfectly echoed his subject matter, tearing apart the slickness of urban Tokyo and unearthing its darker, hidden aspects. In search of a more subjective voice, Moriyama rejected the dominant photojournalistic style and glossy commercial imagery of the times, developing his distinctive form of expression known as “are-bure- boke” (“rough-blurry-out of focus”) in the late 1960s. His radical cropping, intense exposure, grainy and disorderly images liberated photography from tradition, capturing both the outside world and his inner state. Moriyama also looked to Western artists for inspiration, particularly Andy Warhol and William Klein. He absorbed a sense of the materiality of modern manufacturing from Warhol, and through Klein’s works, came to realize the degree of freedom offered by the medium of photography. While Moriyama is best known for his high-contrast, black-and-white images, his work also includes color photographs and Polaroids hallmarked by his snapshot aesthetic and the idea of subversive narration.

Courtesy PGI, Michael Hoppen Gallery. 242 REVIEW OF JAPANESE CULTURE AND SOCIETY 2019 Author Postwar Japanese Photography: A Selected Bibliography Edited by Thomas F. O’Leary and compiled by Anat Icar-Shoham, Patricia Lenz, and Shir Yeffet Overview and Introduction The first daguerreotypes and cameras arrived in Japan in 1848, less than a decade after the invention of photography in the West. From that moment on, photography has remained a central aspect of Japanese visual culture, ranging from the portrait studios of Yokohama to the contemporary photographers of today. The history of photography in Japan is as intertwined with its visual and popular culture, as it is in Europe and the United States. The study of Japanese photography in Europe and the United States has been growing steadily since the end of World War Two and, in particular, since 1974 when the Museum of Modern Art in New York held its New Japanese Photography exhibition curated by John Szarkowski and Yamagishi Shōji. This exhibition featured photographers such as Domon Ken, Hosoe Eikoh, Tōmatsu Shōmei, and Moriyama Daidō, names that will be familiar to anyone with an interest in the history of Japanese photography.
