In the 1960s, between the construction of the Berlin Wall (1961) and the change of power (Ulbricht / Honecker 1971), a field of tension between the claim to power and truth of the SED on one side and the subjective obstinacy of the works of art and their creators on the other hand developed. Within it, debates arose regarding the question of the design and appearance of a future, technologically high developed and scientific socialism. Working. Living. Computer tracks down questions about the appearance of the worker of the future, the future of living, and the significance of the computer in the future and analyses these imaginative worlds of socialist dreams and desires in image, architecture, and texts.

GÉNESIS 2:1, foi o tema escolhido para a 31ª edição dos Encontros da Imagem - Festival Internacional de Fotografia e Artes Visuais.2021, que este ano decorre entre 17 de setembro e 31 de outubro. Entre as muitas outras atividades, o Festival engloba 47 exposições distribuídas por 25 espaços distintos, envolvendo a participação de 64 fotógrafos. GÉNESIS 2:1 dá continuidade ao tema do ano passado e, nunca um tema escolhido, se enquadrou tão bem no contexto da atualidade. Um ano depois, voltamos também nós e todo o mundo -- em resultado da crise pandémica provocada pelo Covid-19, de novo, a ter que passar por um confinamento generalizado. Gerou-se a confusão e o caos. Uma incapacidade coletiva para compreender a desordem das coisas, confrontando a humanidade com desafios cada vez mais complexos e exigentes. A sociedade contemporânea está desde há muito, perante enormes desafios de carácter global: desde as questões relacionadas com o planeta e os seus problemas ecológicos -- perda da biodiversidade, alterações climáticas, aquecimento e contaminação -- até às civilizações que o habitam, onde muitas delas geram novas desigualdades e indiferença moral -- regimes políticos, religiosos, fronteiras, refugiados, racismo, questões de género e muitas outras. Aquilo a que chamamos progresso, não só deixou de coincidir com a humanização do mundo, como pode acabar por ditar o seu fim. Urge encontrar soluções para acabar com as desigualdades e indiferença em relação ao sofrimento de milhões de pessoas. Uma interrogação se pode colocar: que futuro nos espera? A crise em que vivemos constitui uma oportunidade para que todos encontremos causas comuns e discutamos as melhores soluções para o que deva ser feito. Assim, e também com o objetivo de alerta, muitas das exposições agora apresentadas no âmbito dos Encontros da Imagem, para além do seu lado estético, abordam algumas das questões pertinentes que o mundo contemporâneo hoje vive.

"What are photographs 'doing' in museums? Why are some photographs valued and others not? Why are some photographic practices visible and not others? What value systems and hierarchies do they reflect? What Photographs Do explores how museums are defined through their photographic practices. It focuses not on formal collections of photographs as accessioned objects, be they 'fine art' or 'archival', but on what might be termed 'non-collections': the huge number of photographs that are integral to the workings of museums yet 'invisible', existing outside the structures of 'the collection'. These photographs, however, raise complex and ambiguous questions about the ways in which such accumulations of photographs create the values, hierarchies, histories and knowledge-systems, through multiple, folded and overlapping layers that might be described as the museum's ecosystem. These photographic dynamics are studied through the prism of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, an institution with over 150 years' engagement with photography's multifaceted uses and existences in the museum. The book differs from more usual approaches to museum studies in that it presents not only formal essays but short 'auto-ethnographic' interventions from museum practitioners, from studio photographers and image managers to conservators and non-photographic curators, who address the significance of both historical and contemporary practices of photography in their work. As such this book offers an extensive and unique range of accounts of what photographs 'do' in museums, expanding the critical discourse of both photography and museums".--UCL Press.

In oktober 2021 is het 150 jaar geleden dat Stijn Streuvels (1871-1969) geboren werd. Streuvels was niet alleen een begenadigde en gevierde schrijver maar ook een getalenteerde fotograaf. Streuvels volgde de evolutie van de fotografie op de voet. Met primitieve zelfgemaakte camera's maakte hij samen met een jeugdvriend zijn eerste foto's. Kort na 1900 kocht Streuvels zijn eerste fototoestel. Rond 1929 schafte hij een nieuwe Kodak aan en in 1932 kocht hij bij de Kortrijkse fotograaf Gaston Gyselynck zijn eerste Leica-toestel, dat hij tijdens een reis in Duitsland omruilde tegen een modernere Leica. Stijn Streuvels maakte heel wat foto's van zijn tuin, zijn familie en vrienden. Hij was actief in de omgeving van het Lijsternest, waar hij vooral personages fotografeerde die later soms model stonden voor de hoofdfiguren in zijn romans. Op zijn tochten door Vlaanderen fotografeerde hij dorpsgezichten, landschappen en boerenwoningen. Ook van zijn reis naar Palestina in 1935 maakte hij een uitgebreid fotografisch reisverslag. Streuvels' indrukwekkende fotoverzameling, die ruim vijftig jaar overspant en honderden glasnegatieven uit de vroegste periode telt, wordt bewaard in het Letterenhuis in Antwerpen. Een selectie ervan staat in dit boek, waaronder heel wat foto's die voor het eerst gepubliceerd worden.

Before the live streaming of international catwalk shows and the instant culture of digital reproduction, you had to be there. Alongside the black-clad fashion editors, buyers and front row celebrities were the photographers: unsung heroes of fashion who captured the moments that would go on to provide our record of fashion as it happened. A visual journey through three decades of photographing shows in Paris, Milan, London and New York, Fashion's Front Line showcases the extraordinary work of catwalk photographer Niall McInerney. Giving readers the complete picture, the book captures many rare and never-before-seen images of iconic moments on the runway, famous faces on front row, the atmosphere backstage and dazzling after-show parties. With commentary from the photographer himself, as well as interviews with the fashion insiders, Fashion's Front Line is a unique window onto the world of late 20th-century fashion. As good as a front row ticket, this book will be a must-have for fashion lovers and scholars alike.
