Tomatsu, Presse NEW 8.1.2013 SHOMEI TOMATSU GALERIE PRISKA PASQUER Albertusstr. 9-11, 50667 Cologne Tel. +49 221 9526313 [email protected] www.priskapasquer.de 8 November 2012 – 19 January 2013 extended and ending on 26 Februrary 2013 Tue – Fri 11 a.m. - 6 p.m., Sat 12 - 4 p.m. Galerie Priska Pasquer is pleased to present the second exhibition in Germany to be devoted exclusively to the works of Japanese artist Shomei Tomatsu. The exhibition features a selection of black-and-white photographs and, for the first time in a gallery exhibition outside Japan, colour works by the artist from the late 1960s and the 1970s.!! Shomei Tomatsu is regarded as the most important figure in Japanese post-war photography and his work has had a key influence on subsequent artists such as Daido Moriyama, Yutaka Takanashi and Nobuyoshi Araki. !!Shomei Tomatsu’s imagery is noted for its varied and complex nature. His style ranges from works leaning towards classical street photography and symbolically charged objects to abstract (urban) views and dynamic, expressive compositions. Depending on the subject matter, the artist expands his visual grammar, creating pictures that walk a tightrope between the concrete and the abstract and between fascination and repulsion. At the same time, these images remain timeless photographs. Shomei Tomatsu’s works take a unique approach to exploring the changes in society since the 1950s. His photography shows the after-effects of the atom bomb dropped on Nagasaki, the influence of American popular culture, the impact of the Japanese economic boom of the 1960s and the declining archaic culture in Okinawa in the 1970s. !!Shomei Tomatsu’s artistic works focus on Japan’s journey towards urban modernity since the 1950s. Indeed, the works in his ‘Protest’ and ‘Eros’ series from the late 1950s have come to symbolise a lifestyle that reflects the search for novelty and appears to be charged with eroticism and aggression. Another theme that has been explored by Tomatsu for more than a decade in the ‘Chewing Gum and Chocolate’ series is the influence of the US occupying forces and of American culture on Japanese society. In the first half of the 1960s, Tomatsu began to experiment with colour photography. In the late 1960s, he then began to use colour images, in addition to black-and-white photography, as a medium for his key themes. As with his black-and-white works, he manages to create dynamic, expressive compositions with his colour photographs. He transforms the waving flags of a demonstration in his ‘Protest’ series into an abstract composition of moving colours. Even in his more narrative photographs, Tomatsu manages to add symbolic messages. For instance, a photograph of an amusement park, which was taken through a window splotched with red paint, has been described as a modernist, almost painterly profanation of the Japanese flag (John W. Dower). Brief biography ! Born in Aichi, Nagoya in 1930. 1954-56 Photographer at the Iawanami Shashin Bunko publishing house together with Nagano Shigeichi.

    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.

  • Paris-Photo.Pdf
    BOOTH C10 GRAND PALAIS 12 - 15 NOV LISETTE MODEL When Lisette Model arrived in New York from Paris in 1938 with her husband, and was stunned by the freshness and dynamism of the city. She met with quick success as a commercial photographer, and her work was often published in magazines such as Harpers Bazaar, Vogue and Look. Stimulated by the New York’s energy, Model embarked on a new phase of photography making images of metropolitan activity and reflections in shop windows, as well as portraits of celebrities, entertainers, and street people. Model approached her disparate subjects with a rare candour and was often compared to photographers such as Berenice Abbott and Weegee as she drew inspiration from the underside of New York in the bistros and bars of the Lower East side. Known for her stark, biting portraits of the inhabitants of these streets, she sought out life’s extremes, and to create an honest portrayal of modern life and its effect on the human character. Considered one of the foremost photographers of the period by Edward Steichen, the Director of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Model was a favourite of the institution and was given 13 solo shows between 1940 and 1962. Her searing images, eloquent teachings and love of photography deeply influenced her students such as Diane Arbus, Larry Fink, and many others. Lisette Model has been exhibited widely in institutions such as MoMA, New York, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, The Jeu de Paume, Paris and SF MoMA, San Fransisco.
