Conceptual photographer Christopher Williams is an artist’s artist. Ever since he moved to Germany, his measured work, which both reveres and examines the art of photography, has more and more easily found its way into European art institutes, such as this spring at Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens in Deurle, Belgium.

This summer, Elad Lassry's photographs and an enchanting video work were shown at ILLUMInations in Venice, giving the Los Angeles based artist a wider European audience. His first solo show in London opened last week at the White Cube.

Balancing between sense and non-sense, the idiocy of putting things in order and the pleasant tranquillity that also comes with it.

Recent years have seen no shortage of exhibitions concerned with ecology and the environment, but to date, they seem to have had little effect. What seems to be going wrong?

What is photography’s relationship with changing notions of cultural histories, identities and representations?

November 6th, the new exhibition by American artist Lisa Oppenheim Blood of the Ghosts opens at Galerie Juliètte Jongma in Amsterdam. Oppenheim attempts to recapture the photographic images of yore in her work by considerably expanding the photographic moment, once considered so historical.
The American artist Lisa Oppenheim is fascinated by old photography, both in terms of its technique and import. She attempts to recapture the photographic images of yore in her work by considerably expanding the photographic moment, once considered so historical.
In an art world that no longer wants to believe in its own progressiveness, street photography, with its provocative sexual exhibitionism, seems to be taking over that role. It offers the romanticism of the photographer-artist who has access to worlds that viewers normally never frequent.

Perhaps the only objection an art lover could have to Berlin is the way its galleries are scattered all over the city. The majority let photography and painting rule the gallery space this month. The choices appear safe, but luckily, safe doesn´t necessarily mean boring.
