One of the greatest challenges and joys of photography is discovering which New York City is presented to us through the eyes of Alfred Stieglitz, Robert Franck, Garry Winogrand, William Klein or Nan Golding… Wandering Paris by night or day guided by Brassaï, Willy Ronis or Martin Parr; Valparaiso with Sergio Larrain or the streets of Tokyo with William Klein… Since its foundation in 1860 and throughout its brief history, Deauville, whose identity is multiple and complex, has always welcomed any plays of glances and discoveries. Successively, the Seeberger Brothers, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Roger Schall, Willy Rizzo, Robert Capa, Emeric Feher, Gisèle Freund, Henri Cartier Bresson and the Magnum photographers, Robert Doisneau, Peter Lindbergh as well as great fashion photographers have explored the city and photographed Deauville with curiosity and inspiration. Since its creation in 2010, the Planche(s) Contact photography festival, Lise Sarfati, Charles Fréger, Massimo Vitalli, Filip Dujardin, Meffre & Marchand, Paolo Roversi, Sarah Moon, Kishin Shinoyama, Lars Turnbjork, Harry Gruyaert, Philippe Ramette etc. have been invited as the festival main figures to share their own vision of the city, their personal appropriation of Deauville. Their works, inspired by Deauville, are preserved at the end of each festival. They are part of the city’s photography collection, which keeps growing year after year. The collection is unique and singular and will be revealed to the public at the opening of the new cultural project site of the Franciscaines, which is scheduled for 2018. Five years after its creation, Planche(s) Contact has become a reference in photography events in Normandy, illustrating the important part that the city has played in the world of photography as it has in the history of impressionism. In 2015, Planche(s) Contact explores new dynamics which will allow the festival to grow and develop stronger links with regional sponsors and reach a wider audience. A contact sheet is for many generations of photographers a mosaic of images, a narration and genesis of a photographic approach, familiar to many generations of photographers. For the city of Deauville, Planche(s) Contact is becoming more and more important as a creative and festive event, joining every autumn, the city and its inhabitants, as well as its visitors with their special relationship with photography.

He captured a series of 20 portraits, remarkable by the strength of his framing, his way of presenting the subjects and his incredible use of artificial lighting. Globally acclaimed for his black & white portraits captured in closed spaces or natural settings, Brian Griffin was discovered in France, in Arles, in 1987. He started by creating album covers for Iggy Pop, Ian Durry, Joe Jackson, Dépêche Mode, Peter Gabriel, Simple Minds, Ringo Star, before dedicating his work to an inventive and audacious advertising creation. Brian Griffin was exhibited between 1984 and 2014 in Tokyo, Hamburg, Houston, Cologne, Amsterdam, Prague, Barcelone, Milan, Gand, Stockholm, Anvers, Montréal, etc. In 2004 he directed a documentary he wrote about Paul McCartney at the musician’s request. In 2009, the Arles Meetings dedicated a big exposition to his work. Brian Griffin received an important order from the London Olympic Games (2009) and was invited to the only photography order of Marseille 2013, where he shot a remarkable portrait series of the city’s dockers. The National Portrait Gallery of London dedicated a grand retrospective exhibition to him in 2010. Brian Griffin’s photographs are found in the public collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum and in the museums of Edinburgh, Essen, Birmingham, Reykjavik and Braga. Brian 5 Griffin has published about 15 works and photograph collections, in beautiful books that have become very sought after and prized creations. Brian Griffin is an associate professor at the University of Bologna and Doctor honoris causa at the University of Birmingham since 2014. Brian Griffin by Ashley Franklin 6 BRUNO BARBEY Deauville 1966-2015, une allure folle Point de Vue Deauville, 2015 © Bruno Barbey, Magnum Photo Deauville, 1966 © Bruno Barbey, Magnum Photos 7 In August of 1966, Bruno Barbey was shooting for Vogue in Deauville. Fifteen images of this photo report, mostly forgotten, are the starting point of Barbey’s return in Deauville, 50 years later. The photographer came back to Deauville to capture another 15 images in a city that has evolved over the years whereas Barbey’s vision remains unaltered. This new perspective will be presented simultaneously with the great Bruno Barbey retrospective in October of 2015 by the MEP (European House of Photography) in Paris. When Bruno Barbey arrived in Deauville in 1966, the city, still at the peak of its popularity was undergoing changes. A few months earlier, the movie A man and a woman, directed by Claude Lelouch won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Festival. Bruno Barbey wandered the city’s streets and captured the rituals and customs of summer 1966. He explored the beach and the Planches, watched the horse races, and photographed the owners, players, and jockeys. He also shot the Polo tournament final, where he watched from afar the friendly conversations between Jean-Claude Brialy, Régine, and Marie Bell, or the ones of Maurice Chevalier and Lucien Barrière.

  • Solo E Pensoso Giovanni Antonini Il Giardino Armonico Menu Tracklist Haydn 2032
    NO. 3 SOLO E PEnsOSO Giovanni Antonini Il Giardino Armonico MENU TRACKLIST HAYDN 2032 "SOLO E PENSOSO" BY GIOVANI ANTONINI ENGLISH / FRANÇAIS / DEUTSCH HAYDN THE SOLITARY BY CHRISTIAN MORITZ-BAUER ENGLISH / FRANÇAIS / DEUTSCH SOLO E PENSOSO I PIU DESERTI CAMPI FRANCESCO PETRARCA (1304-1374) CANZONIERE, SONETTO XXXV BIOGRAPHIES Bruno Barbey / Magnum Photos MENU Looking forward to the three hundredth anniversary of the birth of Haydn in 2032, the Joseph Haydn Stiftung Foundation of Basel has joined forces with the Alpha label to make a complete recording of the composer’s 107 symphonies. This ambitious project is placed under the artistic direction of Giovanni Antonini, who will share the recordings between his ensemble Il Giardino Armonico and the Basel Chamber Orchestra, which he conducts regularly. The aim is to celebrate one of the key composers in the history of music, one of the most proli c (he wrote more than 300 large-scale works, symphonies, string quartets, piano sonatas, concertos, oratorios, operas), but also one of the subtlest. Seeing the music of Haydn as ‘a kaleidoscope of human emotions’, Giovanni Antonini has decided to tackle the symphonies not in chronological order, but in thematically based programmes (‘La passione’, ‘Il losofo’, ‘Il distratto’, etc.). Moreover, the Italian conductor believes it is important to establish links between these works and pieces written by other composers contemporary with Haydn or in some way connected with him. Hence, alongside his symphonies, each volume will include music by gures like Gluck, Porpora, C. P. E. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Michael Haydn and Stamitz. 5 “A KALEIDOSCOPE OF HUMAN EMOTIONS” Beyond its status as a unique discographical adventure, Haydn2032 will also bring together leading European concert halls, which will present these programmes to their audiences.

  • A History of the Republic of Biafra
    A History of the Republic of Biafra The Republic of Biafra lasted for less than three years, but the war over its secession would contort Nigeria for decades to come. Samuel Fury Childs Daly examines the history of the Nigerian Civil War and its aftermath from an uncommon vantage point – the courtroom. Wartime Biafra was glutted with firearms, wracked by famine, and administered by a government that buckled under the weight of the conflict. In these dangerous conditions, many people survived by engaging in fraud, extortion, and armed violence. When the fighting ended in 1970, these survival tactics endured, even though Biafra itself disappeared from the map. Based on research using an original archive of legal records and oral histories, Daly catalogues how people navigated conditions of extreme hardship on the war front and shows how the conditions of the Nigerian Civil War paved the way for the long experience of crime that followed. samuel fury childs daly is Assistant Professor of African and African American Studies, History, and International Comparative Studies at Duke University. A historian of twentieth-century Africa, he is the author of articles in journals including Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History, African Studies Review, and African Affairs.

  • BRUNO BARBEY Witness of Things Past
    BRUNO BARBEY Witness of Things Past Exhibition Dates: March 10 – April 14, 2018 Opening Reception: Saturday, March 10, 2-5pm Stephen Bulger Gallery is pleased to present “Witness of Things Past”, our first solo exhibition of work by the internationally renowned Magnum photographer Bruno Barbey. This exhibition offers a survey of some of his best-known black and white photographs as well as colour works made over the course of his remarkable career. Barbey’s professional career began in the early 1960s when, over a four-year period, he photographed his series “The Italians”. Barbey perceived the Italian people as protagonists of a 'theatrical world' and aimed to capture the spirit of a nation through his striking black and white portraiture. This series presents a modern Commedia dell’arte of beggars, priests, nuns, carabinieri, prostitutes, Mafiosi, and other archetypal figures whose exotic charms stand as a testament to the life and times of Italy in the 1960s. The resulting book remains on the short list of many photography experts and continues to entrance readers to this day. Over the past five decades, Barbey has photographed on all seven continents and documented wars and conflicts in Nigeria, Vietnam, the Middle East, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Northern Ireland, Iraq, and Kuwait. The colour photographs in this exhibition feature Barbey’s work from abroad and show the exceptional talent he has for capturing the human condition all around the globe. Barbey’s striking use of colour gives insight into the lives of his subjects and proves him to be a modern master of photography. Bruno Barbey (born 1941, Morocco) has dual nationality, French and Swiss.

Title: Magnum Photos, Inc., Photography Collection Dates: 1929-2004 Extent: 1,320 boxes and 39 portfolios (approx. 200,000 photographic prints) Abstract: Magnum Photos' New York bureau photograph morgue consisting largely of black-and-white gelatin silver prints dating from 1929 to 2004. The photographs show the world and its people, events, issues, geography, and personalities as captured through the lenses of Magnum members. Language: English Access: Open for research. Researchers may also wish to consult an FAQ about the collection. Administrative Information Acquisition: Gift, 2013 (previously on deposit, 2010) Processed by: Mary Alice Harper, 2010 Repository: The University of Texas at Austin, Harry Ransom Center Magnum Photos, Inc. Scope and Contents The collection consists of photographs from Magnum Photos' New York bureau, dating from 1929 to 2004. Black-and-white gelatin silver prints make up the bulk of the collection, but also included are a few color prints, ink jet prints, and copy transparencies. The photographs show the world and its people, events, issues, geography, and personalities as captured through the lenses of Magnum members. The images in this collection were made to distribute to publishers, the media, advertisers, and museums and galleries from around the globe. Nearly half the photographs were sent out for assignments and returned, and thus show evidence of much handling. The backs of many of the photographs are marked and stamped, evidence of their usage and means for refiling. Since its foundation in 1947, Magnum has used a number of filing systems (the current system arranges photographs by story number).
