La Walther Collection est l’une des collections de photographie mondiale les plus renommées au monde. INTO THE UNSEEN est la dernière grande présentation de la collection en Europe avant que 6 500 œuvres ne soient données au Metropolitan Museum of Art de New York. L’exposition utilise des œuvres artistiques et des photographies du quotidien qui mettent l’accent sur la spiritualité, le traumatisme, la transformation et la perception multisensorielle pour créer une poétique de l’invisible. Avec des œuvres de Cang Xin, Em’kal Eyongakpa, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Santu Mofokeng, Eadweard Muybridge, Jo Ractliffe, RongRong, Berni Searle et Yang Fudong, entre autres. L’exposition est accompagnée d’une nouvelle œuvre sonore du photographe Felipe Romero Beltrán et d’une nouvelle installation photographique de l’artiste Ana María Gómez López. L’exposition présente des œuvres artistiques contemporaines, des œuvres historiques et des photographies du quotidien qui transcendent le champ du visible et est divisée en quatre chapitres multisensoriels. Activant les multiples registres sensoriels de la photographie, INTO THE UNSEEN nous invite à reconnaître les registres audibles, tactiles et affectifs de la photographie. https://www.deichtorhallen.de/de/ausstellungen/into-the-unseen-the-walther-collection/

Refocusing Photography: China at the Millennium Sunday, June 8–Sunday, November 16, 2025, THE CLEAVLAND MUSEUM OF ART, Cleavland , USA. Born between 1962 and 1969, these artists grew up during the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), when conformity was required and past intellectual and artistic products—whether artistic, family history, or documentary—were banned and destroyed. They also experienced the cultural vacuum that followed this erasure. As adults, these artists lived in a radically different China—newly prosperous, individualistic, and consumerist. They helped develop a new visual idiom, producing artworks that addressed their country’s recent history, its swift societal transformation, and their own resultant shift in identity as Chinese.

Miao Xiaochun: A Glimpse Through Time. The exhibition features A Visit from the Past to the Present, a series of photographs created by artist Miao Xiaochun between 1999 and 2004. The artist places a sculpture he made of an ancient Chinese figure into various modern urban settings around the world to create a series of cinematic-like still images. The “dramatic” composition and tonal design of these images give them a unique poetic quality.Curators: Yang Xiaoyan, Steven Dragonn We are honored to invite Miao Xiaochun, a transmedia artist based in Berlin and Beijing, and a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, to present his first solo exhibition in Canada, A Glimpse Through Time, at Canton-sardine.

Chinese photographer, Qingjun Huang has been documenting his “Family Stuff” series for 20 years. To create these images he gathers a family’s belongings from their home and arranges the items and family members, photographing them outdoors with the home as the background. Originally working in China during a time of rapid economic development and globalization, Qingjun Huang used this method of staged photographs to record environmental changes, urban expansion, and shifts in people’s lifestyles. The concept of these works encompasses themes of love, work, identity, gender and the passage of time. Through a single photograph, Qingjun Huang is able to depict their external reality and their inner world.

Cette présentation met à l’honneur quatre figures majeures du Groupe Xing Xing (ou « Groupe des Étoiles ») formé à Pékin en 1979 : Wang Keping, Huang Rui, Li Shuang et Ma Desheng. Un ensemble d’œuvres marquantes, accompagné d’archives et de documents, qui témoigne du laboratoire artistique majeur que fut ce collectif dans l'histoire de l'art de la Chine. Rompant avec les systèmes de représentation et de diffusion de l’art officiels, ces artistes recherchaient une liberté d’expression formelle et technique allant de pair avec une affirmation existentielle de l’individu, aspiraient à la créativité dans le lien social et à la spontanéité de l’être ensemble.

Le projet éponyme de Guanyu Xu met en scène les domiciles d’individu·e·s en attente de régulariser leur situation.

Rencontrant des personnes ayant différents statuts de visa, Xu accède à leur domicile. Il photographie leurs intérieurs et objets personnels, puis imprime ses clichés ainsi que leurs propres archives photographiques. Il retourne sur les lieux et accroche tous ces tirages, avant de photographier son installation éphémère.

ArtAsiaPacific Pixy Liao: Through a Lens of Obsession By OLIVER CLASPER Portrait of PIXY LIAO. Photo by Oliver Clasper. For Diane Arbus, it was secretive and perverse. Walker Evans argued that to do it well one has to stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. For the writer Susan Sontag, it was an aggressive tool of power, a predatory act of appropriation. Photography is, by its very nature, an obsessive medium. Even its vernacular echoes something clandestine, almost shameful, akin to espionage: one shoots, frames, captures, exposes; to photograph is to work with triggers, mirrors, hoods, wires, curtains, shutters, darkrooms, and chemical baths. It is an endless list, a relentless index of image-capturing apparatus that also happens to form the machinery that lies at the very heart of our surveillance technology—first as celluloid film; later, as digital video. Art-making is about obsession, too: with a story, an idea, a memory, a place, an object. For Pixy Liao, it is an obsession at once ethereal (love) and tangible (a person), a fixation marked by the slow passage of time, manifested and mechanically reproduced through the cold black box of the camera; more specifically still, as a collection of staged, performative tableaux of her career-defining series Experimental Relationship (2007– ).

WESTLICHT : Museum for Photography, Vienna, Austria

www.westlicht.com INSIDE VIEWS 19.06.–11.08.2024 A repressive autocracy, a global player, an economic superpower with a thirst for expansion – the European perception of China is characterised by a series of recurring attributes. Mistrust and curiosity are just as prevalent as criticism and fascination for the People’s Republic of China. But how do Chinese artists see themselves? What images do they find to depict the realities of life in their country? And what do their personal views tell us about society as a whole? The INSIDE VIEWS exhibition brings together works by eleven artists from China, created from the start of the milennium onward, against a backdrop of rapid economic growth and radical social change. All of the images shown in the INSIDE VIEWS exhibition focus on the individual and their relationship to the surrounding society – whether it be private relationships or dependencies on societal structures. The initial point and motif is often the body. It functions as a foundation for experimentation, as a medium, sign and material. The spectrum of works ranges from Zhang Huan’s (*1965) body stagings following his performances, to Chen Ronghui (*1989) and his series Freezing Land on the consequences of structural change, to Luo Yang (*1984), whose photographs of young women portray a self-confident generation that is nevertheless struggling to find its identity and place.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY Exhibit

A performance art movement emerged in 1990s China, centered in the Beijing neighborhood known as the East Village. In reaction to massive changes in the urban landscape and to everyday living, artists put on one-time performances – but they also filmed and photographed each other, creating a new layer of art, says art historian Nancy P. Lin. “Performance is an ephemeral artform that’s dependent on and mediated through photography and video. These forms triangulate across each other and depend on each other,” said Lin, Klarman Fellow in the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S), who will be an assistant professor of history of art and visual studies starting in Sept. 2023.

Hirshhorn museum, Washington US

A Window Suddenly Opens: Contemporary Photography in China is the Hirshhorn’s first survey of photography by leading multigenerational Chinese artists made over the past three decades. The exhibition showcases 186 artworks made between 1993 and 2022, of which 141 are a landmark promised gift to the Hirshhorn from pioneering collector of Chinese art Larry Warsh. The exhibition’s title is drawn from a 1997 publication, a near manifesto, by Rong Rong and Liu Zheng that celebrated the possibilities in shifting the practice of photography away from realism toward a conceptual art practice.
