Curators of architecture exhibitions are often concerned with the problem of how to present objects that ultimately cannot be brought into the exhibition space. Such shows are often difficult for lay audiences to interpret—little focus is placed on communication. However, there are also architecture exhibits that concentrate on communicating an experience, making it possible to build an intense relationship between the audience and the content on display. The result of a research project organized in 2013 by the faculty of Design and Art of the Free University of Bozen Bolzano, Displayed Spaces focuses on the question of how spaces might communicate architectural ideas in a redevelopment project and its accompanying exhibition proposed for the city of Bolzano, Italy. The book is organized into two sections—the first introduces project criteria and the curatorial considerations on content and its presentation; the second begins with an analysis of the public, with particular attention to the different types of visitors—and demonstrates how spatial engagement can generate a personal relationship between visitor and exhibition. Bringing together essays by theoreticians, curators and practitioners involved in exhibition production, this analysis of contemporary architecture exhibitions concludes by asking what is more important: the experience of the exhibition or its effect on the debate on architecture and its history.

  • Only the Good Ones: the Snapshot Aesthetic Revisited
    ONLY THE GOOD ONES: THE SNAPSHOT AESTHETIC REVISITED Press release Galerie Rudolfinum January 24 – April 6, 2014 Exhibition curator: Michal Nanoru Galerie Rudolfinum presents Only The Good Ones, an exhibition tracing the snapshot – the unpremeditated, spur-of-the-moment amateur photograph – as a source of inspiration for art photography. The exhibition presents the work of forty photographers, primarily Americans, plus German photographer of Czech descent Jürgen Teller and British photographer Corinne Day, who introduced the world to Kate Moss. The snapshot, spontaneously capturing a commonplace moment, with minimal direction and little appreciation for artistic or journalistic convention, full of red eyes, severed heads, leaky shutters, and drugstore hyper-saturation, has formed a fundamental part of photographic production throughout the 20th century and remains the default choice for inexperienced owners of compact cameras and phones. But over the years, the snapshot has often inspiration for artistic endeavors not limited by the family photo album lying in a box up in the attic. “Their potential was used by artists who were already involved in the gallery scene, or whose snapshots helped them into the gallery scene,” curator Michal Nanoru explains. “This is why the exhibition is named after the usual series of questions the photo lab used to ask – Glossy or matte? Three and a half by fives? All the pictures or only the good ones? ‘The good ones’ usually meant the ones in which the main object was in focus, ones that even managed to feature some sort of main object that wasn’t the photographer’s huge pink thumb on the lens, or that weren’t just the blank first frames from loading the camera.

  • From the Margins
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE [email protected] FROM THE MARGINS SEPTEMBER 16 - NOVEMBER 15, 2019 Image Credit (clockwise): Benjamin Fredrickson, John Paradiso, Luis Alberto Rodriguez, Shikeith, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Naima Green, Stanley Stellar WASHINGTON DC - 2019 marks thirty years since the cancellation of The Perfect Moment: Photographs of Robert Mapplethorpe at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. And in this new perfect moment, this appealing anniversary wrapped neatly in black and white, it is easy to draw a line directly from the present back to one point in the past. However, when time is compressed as such, what happens to the in-between? From the Margins aims to examine the foreclosure presented by Mapplethorpe’s legacy by pivoting towards Glenn Ligon’s response to Mapplethorpe. In this way, Ligon’s Notes On the Margins of the Black Book serves as a guide to generating critique. In Ligon’s incisive work, photographs from Mapplethorpe’s infamous Black Book are paired with texts taken from writers such as Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, and Zora Neale Hurston, as well as quotes from everyday patrons to New York City bars and clubs. In his response to Mapplethorpe, Ligon reveals the inextricability of identity, race, sex, history, and politics. From the Margins views Ligon’s work as critique, but more specifically critique as care. Works on view such as Naima Green’s Pur·suit updates Catherine Opie’s Dyke Deck to better reflect the lived queer experience of today, with 54 card-sized portraits of queer womxn, trans, non-binary, and gender nonconforming people. Stanley Stellar, whose acclaimed photographs of New York City men spanning over four decades, continues to capture vulnerability and sensuality in all their endless manifestations.

    INFILTRATOR BY DAVID J. GETSY THE ART of Slava Mogutin has at times been of activism and cultural criticism, Mogutin coaxes from confused with documentary. Perhaps because of the story his observations not the truth of his scenes and sitters of his exile from Russia or his background in journalism, but the instability of their boundaries and potentials some consider his photographic work as evidence and for resistance. In both his photographs and his poetry, reportage. Such a misconception fuels the voyeuristic Mogutin conjures excess, breakdown, and hyperbole from impulses of those who want to look at homosocial spaces his subjects, pushing them to perform new capacities and normally hidden from view—whether behind the Iron possible dissolutions. The poet Mogutin never just reports. Curtain or in the dressing rooms of go-go boys.
