(December 12, 2017) — The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College is leading a four-campus exhibition of This Place, which features more than 600 images by twelve internationally acclaimed photographers who explore the personal and public spaces in Israel and the West Bank. Opening February 3 through April 22, 2018, the Tang’s presentation will feature work by four of the twelve photographers, who each took different approaches, highlighting how photography can illuminate multiple perspectives on a complex topic: Wendy Ewald, taught and photographed children and adults in fourteen communities in Israel and the West Bank in their homes and villages, collecting tens of thousands of digital images, a selection of which is on display at the Tang Museum; Gilles Peress photographed the Road of Patriarchs from Hebron to Jerusalem and the Palestinian village of Silwan in East Jerusalem, areas he considers to be fault lines in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; Stephen Shore used a his 8 x 10 view camera and a digital camera to photograph landscapes and cityscapes, sacred places, street scenes, and community; and Nick Waplington created a photographic survey of Jewish settlements in the West Bank through both family portraits and images of the natural and built environment.

Here Meyerowitz looked at, touched, studied, and connected with the more than 250 objects that Morandi painted. Using only the warm natural light in the room, he photographed Morandi’s objects: vases, shells, pigment-filled bottles, silk flowers, tins, funnels, watering cans. In the photographs, each object sits on Morandi’s table, which still bears the marks the painter drew to set the positions of his subjects. In the background is the paper that the artist left on the wall, now brittle and yellow with age. Meyerowitz’s portraits of these dusty, aged objects are not only works of art themselves, but they offer insight into the humble subjects that Morandi transformed into his subtle and luminous paintings. Joel Meyerowitz (born 1938) is a street photographer and portrait and landscape photographer.

Through close visual analyses of photojournalist, press, and social documentary photographs, this Ph.D examines the visual responses to the Government’s advocation of a ‘healthy’ society and its programme of social and economic ‘waste-saving’. Drawing Imogen Tyler’s interpretation of ‘social abjection’ (the discursive mediation of subjects through exclusionary modes of ‘revolting aesthetics’) into the visual field, this Ph.D explores photography’s implication in bolstering the abject and exclusionary discourses of the era. Exploring the contexts in which photographs were created, utilised and disseminated to visually convey ‘waste’ as an expression of social abjection, this Ph.D exposes how the Right’s successful establishment of a neoliberal political economy was supported by an accelerated use and deployment of revolting photographic aesthetics.

  • Twelve Photographers, One Subject
    Hatje Cantz Verlag Mommsenstraße 27 Tel. +49 (0)30 3464678-23 Press Contact: Hatje Cantz Verlag GmbH Managing Director: 10629 Berlin Fax +49 (0)30 3289042-62 [email protected] HRB 118521 Thomas Ganske Deutschland www.hatjecantz.de Reg.-Gericht Hamburg Dr. Sven Fund UST-ID-Nr.: DE143580256 THIS PLACE TWELVE PHOTOGRAPHERS, ONE SUBJECT This Place is a monumental art project about Israel and the West Bank as both places and metaphors, photographed through the eyes of twelve internationally celebrated photographers. Each artistic approach addresses the complexity of the area through themes such as identity, family, home, conflict, and topography. This volume, which accompanies the show now opening at the Jewish Museum Berlin, concludes the project and presents a multi- layered, fragmented portrait of the region. June 6, 2019 – The French photographer Frédéric Brenner initiated This Place in 2005. His goal was to add new, artistic motifs to the familiar pictures of the region that are usually published alongside news reports. Between 2009 and 2012 he and the photographers Wendy Ewald, Martin Kollar, Josef Koudelka, Jungjin Lee, Gilles Peress, Fazal Sheikh, Stephen Shore, Rosalind Fox Solomon, Thomas Struth, Jeff Wall, and Nick Waplington visited Israel and the West Bank several times to shoot these photos. The more than two hundred works of art question the history, borderlines, and paradoxes of the area and its inhabitants. Thanks to the diverse visual vocabularies, nationalities, and cultural backgrounds of the photographers, the pictures present a multi-layered portrait of Israel and the West Bank. The photos have been exhibited previously in famous museums such as the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and the Brooklyn Museum.
