Some of these portraits were taken in the 1980s and 1990s while casting his provocative and pioneering films Mala Noche, Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho, and To Die For. Even as Van Sant successfully works within Hollywood, he is an artist who subverts protocol and pushes standard definitions of character and storytelling, including casting amateur actors alongside Hollywood’s biggest names, as reflected here. The Positives is his vision from that periphery. In these oversized portraits one senses the ease and distinct personality of the individual before the camera. At the same time, the viewer forgets what makes each person different from the other. The takeaway is a sense of connection between each portrait and the viewer, and between the seemingly disparate subjects themselves. Instead of pulling away from each other they become part of a greater single unit. The location shots provide a setting to their unique world. At the forefront of Dries Van Noten’s work is likewise the cultivation of connection between different people of all backgrounds and experiences. Inclusivity and openness are the heart of the eponymous clothing line. With the new Los Angeles store, the brand evolves its definition of the experience of art, bridging fashion with the fields of gastronomy, music, and fine art, and exhibiting works across genres to create a community of people with different interests and personal stories. Here, too, is another connection: the honesty and directness of Gus Van Sant’s and Dries Van Noten’s art, which welcomes the different interpretations of those drawn to it. For both artists, the works speak volumes but are also quiet enough to listen. This selection of positive prints from black &amp; white Polaroids is guided by a feeling of immediate interconnectedness with the subject portrayed. A Polaroid photograph comes out as the union of a positive and negative. The raw, analog quality present in these Portraits is a rendition of what a negative Polaroid allows its positive counterpart to filter through. What remains is The Positive. ︎︎︎ KATYA TYLEVICH DIE PLEK DRIES VAN NOTEN / THE LITTLE HOUSE (451 N.

Beginning with my movie “Mala Noche”, I took the pictures of the lead actors, so that when planning the details of the shoot I could stare at the pictures and imagine the characters coming to life, and how they might visually relate to one another. As my films grew larger and when I started to get more money to make them, I used the Polaroids of the faces to do the initial casting. I think that the bulk of these pictures are of people that I had a meeting with about playing a part in either “Drugstore Cowboy” or “My Own Private Idaho”. These were taken in casting sessions. (...) After we talked about something innocuous and removed from the task at hand, I would generally grab my camera which was sitting in front of me (I actually sort of hid behind it, it was so big) and I would ask, “Can I take a picture of you?” and every time I asked, so far, people have said yes. (...) I would stand up and show the person to a place I had previously found that had good light, and after checking my light meter, saying nothing more than “Okay, ready,” I’d snap one Polaroid. Sometimes the person would stick around to see if it came out, other times they split right then. (...) The expressions of the people are interesting, and I wonder if it is me that they are reacting to or is it the camera. I think it’s the camera, because it’s an old funky-looking 1965 Polaroid Land camera, and people always ask about it like it’s the oldest camera they have ever seen. As I look closely at the pictures, I am reminded about the power a single person carries around with them. Everyone is different, and yet they all look somehow the same. They all embody huge potentials for success or failure, for nervousness or calm, for sainthood or deviltry, and have individually had their proportionate share of both. They remind me of the moment the picture was actually taken, and how that moment is linked to their past, their present and their future. The day that I happened to catch them was just one little piece of time that is connected to all the other pieces of time that make up their lives. And sometimes I think I can see this in the picture itself. Somehow the camera is able to capture it. I don’t know how, but it does, I swear to God.&nbsp; Gus Van Sant, June 12, 1992 “108 Portraits”(Twin Palms Publishers) <img width="709" height="1000" width_o="709" height_o="1000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c3d74c8cdef329ff0fd5581d75206323e86404ca223521ba39dd19b12601230e/bookcover.jpg" data-mid="132518593" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/709/i/c3d74c8cdef329ff0fd5581d75206323e86404ca223521ba39dd19b12601230e/bookcover.jpg" /> “GUS VAN SANT: The Art of Making Movies”, 2021 by Katya Tylevich (Laurence King Publishing) <img width="2043" height="2500" width_o="2043" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2f17e7bafe5ef9e9245a0e4ad295e1704f0c37f4fbdee2b88bf87ef535c479be/GVS_William_Borroughs_V1B_File-copy.jpg" data-mid="144451194" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2f17e7bafe5ef9e9245a0e4ad295e1704f0c37f4fbdee2b88bf87ef535c479be/GVS_William_Borroughs_V1B_File-copy.jpg" /> <img width="2043" height="2500" width_o="2043" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7cd2fe725da1ea33fd8f7fd6985c8e27c1a29138da09c2f9c57536a19d6e3d88/GVS_Patricia_Arquett_V1B_File1-copy.jpg" data-mid="144451193" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7cd2fe725da1ea33fd8f7fd6985c8e27c1a29138da09c2f9c57536a19d6e3d88/GVS_Patricia_Arquett_V1B_File1-copy.jpg" /> <img width="2043" height="2500" width_o="2043" height_o="2500" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/032d842278d9ee3ff4f34528bbf8f00f95ae719d29b19c9d946711fa3b21bfd2/GVS_Gus_Van_Sant_V1B_File-copy.jpg" data-mid="144451192" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/032d842278d9ee3ff4f34528bbf8f00f95ae719d29b19c9d946711fa3b21bfd2/GVS_Gus_Van_Sant_V1B_File-copy.jpg" />&nbsp;© Gus Van Sant :&nbsp;William S.

His models exude a certain naivety, but can also be suspected of having a touch of condescension towards anyone who does not belong to their circle of friends or was not there that summer on the bank. Even though all faces and bodies are atypical, they seem to pop straight out of a fashion magazine&nbsp;According to De Keersmaecker, the series is unvarnished, non-concealing, and certainly personal and aesthetic. The North Sea breathes the same atmosphere during its summers when flocks of people stay there temporarily; interrupting their ordinary life in order to briefly experience another. At the end of the holiday, new friendships and secret memories go into an imaginary photo album, and people can look forward to that next warm and brash vacation for almost the entire year to come. Nominated for LensCulture Art Photography Awards 2019:&nbsp; “Timeless and organic, Charlie De Keersmaecker’s project ‘Down By The River’ projects the honesty and freedom exhibited in yet-to-be-tested youth. The lack of technology and purposeful clothing lend a timeless quality to the series, allowing the viewer to project themselves into the scene and connect with each image, taking you back to a time when there was uncertainty yet endless opportunity.” Anne Farrar, Director of Photography / National Geographic Traveler.

Closed : Tuesday - Wednesday. On the edge of a peninsula, between two extremes, the Royal Belgian Sailing Club Alberta is located. On the one side, a container port. Inhumane scale, ongoing activity, day and night and throughout the year. High cranes moving about the cargo ships, transporting the multi-coloured containers like playing a 3D Tetris game, compiling the excess of the global economy. On the other side, a marina. Human Scale, a source of history and sophistication. Sailing boats next to one another. Gear lashing the masts in a rhythmic manner. The original club house Alberta is named after the steamer of the former Belgian King who inaugurated the harbour in 1907. The Alberta then looks like a house, painted white with a concrete eave, imbuing it with a horizontal character. Certain similarities with the modernist house Villa Colman-Saverys, designed by Henry Van de Velde in 1931 can be seen. The club house hosts a small restaurant and bar. The interior with wooden tables and chairs, models of sail boats, knotted ropes, medals and trophies, make the place cosy and the atmosphere pleasant. The whole setting breathes nostalgia. You can imagine colourful fishing boats entering the harbour, trailed by hungry seagulls screaming, stealing fish and laughing. You imagine a harbour with wooden stalls and vendors shouting, selling the catch of the day. In 2007 Wim Goes Architects were asked to think about modifying the Alberta in order to cope with contemporary needs. There was an ancient method used to build the wooden core of the new building. Instead of using lumber, they opted for laminated wood because of its structural benefits: it can stack, span and cantilever. The cross-joint technique naturally forms a quadruple # floor plan. The joints thus indirectly give shape to the building. Three axes cross another three perpendicularly. The geometrical plan is equal to all points of the compass. Four rooms forming the core are surrounded by eight half-rooms and, at the corners, four quarter-rooms. A metal and glass membrane enfolds the body. Six metal folding windows hang on trusses that serve as a railing making the roof accessible. The skin - the windows - catches the force of the wind and protects the wooden structure. In-between, the unheated glass passage serves as a layer of insulation (skin - air - body), as a function of the heated core, like a thermos bottle. The passage takes advantage of solar gains for heating and cross-ventilation for cooling, as well as regulating the air quality, by means of opening and/or closing the single glazed windows.

The artist’s haunted settings, never fully revealed, are portals into a private reality. Anonymous and uncanny, each carefully crafted environment becomes a surface for the viewer’s projections, whether fear, melancholy, or a mysterious joke. In the painting, the viewer sees a reflection: a feeling of estrangement in an unspeakable world. The more time one spends within Borremans’s universe, the more one’s eyes adjust to its darkness. From the shadows emerge complexities, depths, and personal hallucinations otherwise obstructed by daylight. For the first time in his oeuvre, Borremans exhibits a photographic work, sown with the colors and qualities native to his paintings and drawings. At the intersection of painting and photography, French Painting is a dye-transfer print created by Borremans and crafted of a laborious and precise technique practiced by few masters worldwide. The print exposes the depths and range of what first appears to be a black background and reveals the intricacies of the image’s reds and greens. Invented in the 1940s and among the earliest methods of full-color photographic printmaking —notably favored by photographer William Eggleston —&nbsp;dye-transfer print is a&nbsp;meticulous color composite of separated negatives, so that each photograph is uniquely made by hand. Each print in an edition is a nuanced variant of the others. This kind of print is routinely touched up by paintbrush for the desired effect, confusing its status as a reproduction.French Painting hangs now in an isolated space devoid of conventional art hall context or people. The artwork changes with the light of day, with each hour. In order to view French Painting, one need not wait for access to be granted. The work is available any time, and the viewer may return to it often — willingly, by chance, or daily routine but typically alone. While always ‘on display,’ French Painting remains removed from the viewer, separated by a barrier of glass, as if life seen through a window. The viewer is witness to this strange world. Again, the viewer is also inhabitant of a world no less strange. &nbsp; &nbsp;︎︎︎ KATYA TYLEVICH DIE PLEKKEN ANTWERP / GHENT / HOREBEKE <img width="4955" height="3157" width_o="4955" height_o="3157" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/025e521491b635b462707d06f9a8bc7bd67ed9d89597a3d05e7289699eda4ad5/DIePlek-MichaelBorremans-5225-26.jpg" data-mid="128640478" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/025e521491b635b462707d06f9a8bc7bd67ed9d89597a3d05e7289699eda4ad5/DIePlek-MichaelBorremans-5225-26.jpg" /> <img width="3934" height="3149" width_o="3934" height_o="3149" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dc6ace4ee04e1be910b274cf2872fa20fc736f4f701f87a0efbd1f711dfd7d5f/DIePlek-MichaelBorremans-5100.jpg" data-mid="128640110" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dc6ace4ee04e1be910b274cf2872fa20fc736f4f701f87a0efbd1f711dfd7d5f/DIePlek-MichaelBorremans-5100.jpg" /> <img width="3935" height="3149" width_o="3935" height_o="3149" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0d89ad1d0a8c792caf31bbb034afe47c3dda1e62579423cface73887116ee72d/DIePlek-MichaelBorremans-5116.jpg" data-mid="128640111" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0d89ad1d0a8c792caf31bbb034afe47c3dda1e62579423cface73887116ee72d/DIePlek-MichaelBorremans-5116.jpg" /> <img width="3936" height="3149" width_o="3936" height_o="3149" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1ac35c2920a1443c56f597b020a3ac3a38760fcfa232731e4f85288a8bc55ebf/DIePlek-MichaelBorremans-5119.jpg" data-mid="128640112" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1ac35c2920a1443c56f597b020a3ac3a38760fcfa232731e4f85288a8bc55ebf/DIePlek-MichaelBorremans-5119.jpg" /> <img width="4724" height="3780" width_o="4724" height_o="3780" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/02d8f8ac663a07067f4dfa5949c2ff8578bd75d0942da7db0464ad16f46dc8cf/DIePlek-MichaelBorremans-5195-96.jpg" data-mid="128640113" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/02d8f8ac663a07067f4dfa5949c2ff8578bd75d0942da7db0464ad16f46dc8cf/DIePlek-MichaelBorremans-5195-96.jpg" /> ︎︎︎PATRICIA VINTAGE (Henegouwenstraat 75, 9000 Ghent)The modernist store front offers one of the most luxurious windows in Ghent giving passers-by an opulent selection of the best designers vintage clothing and accessories presented on a large concrete slab.

As if that answers the question of what they are. Well, they look like something you’re not supposed to see at all. They are a peek or a quiet memory — but that’s hard to put into words. And so are the gut feelings and atmospheres embodied in her work. They don’t sit still for a sentence. &nbsp;Each of Vermandel’s photographs is a stepping stone off of reality and into some wide-reaching subjectivity, skipping across different visions of the same sight. Vermandel works within her individual palette, which she achieves through interweaving analogue and digital techniques. Her works contain a reliable unity, even as her subjects (animate and inanimate alike) turn their heads away and cast their gazes downward, breaking eye contact. Her works — which come so close and feel so familiar — are a reminder of how uncomfortable intimacy can be, even if desired. With this exhibition, The Trespasser, Vermandel rebuts our expectations of photographs as staged, manicured versions of human life. ‘Our thoughts, ideas and feelings have become products to be sold,’ Vermandel says, citing the commodification of personal images and habits for advertisers on social media. With every image we edit and share, we help package our lives as products. Vermandel pulls the bow that keeps the package intact. She undoes the pose for a camera. As opposed to stiff commodities, Vermandel’s moments — seemingly unscheduled and casual — are free. So why do they make us feel so uncomfortable? For one thing, the photographs in this collection deny the viewer any typical connection. No portraits of recognizable faces, no documents of discernable geography or events. Only deeply introverted moments. The ephemera we usually set to ‘private’ or try to discard entirely. And here it comes to the surface with each work, as it does so often in our thoughts, unexpected and sometimes unwanted. Photography is typecast as a ‘fast’ medium — offering a snap, a shot, a glimpse. The atmosphere that Vermandel creates, however, is a kind of eternity. Each of her photographs brings one instant to a halt, taking a forever look at a turn of the head, a flick of the hair, a briefly cast shadow, or water boiling on a stove. Vermandel imagines the viewer observing her photographic subjects ‘as if for the first time, distilling the mundane into the unfamiliar.’ She cites the phenomenon of ‘bracketing’ — a term used in the Phenomenological study of consciousness to describe the astonishment of experiencing an everyday occurrence as if for the first time. In this way, Vermandel’s works astonish by really looking at what we always see. At the root of her work, Vermandel reacts to the ‘intense technological progress’ of our recent decades, and its impact on our sense of time and meaning, which has become ‘accelerated and fragmented,’ she says. Text messages, emails, updates, rings, and buzzes no longer interrupt our days, but compose them. Our experience of the linear timeline — reading a news article from beginning to end, for example — has transformed to an information hopscotch, jumping from one subject to another via links. In this context, Vermandel’s photos should feel like a relief. Yet, they are ‘underpinned by a sense of unease,’ she says. Instead of explaining why, she asks the viewer to consider why we desire tranquility in the first place. &nbsp; &nbsp;︎︎︎ KATYA TYLEVICH DIE PLEK ROSSAERT (Nosestraat 7, 2000 Antwerp) <img width="5315" height="3543" width_o="5315" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/68364fc9f466886b8a02bebed7cc679905082c838c640a174627dfd9fda7e486/EvaVermandel-1916.jpg" data-mid="128643029" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/68364fc9f466886b8a02bebed7cc679905082c838c640a174627dfd9fda7e486/EvaVermandel-1916.jpg" /> <img width="5167" height="4654" width_o="5167" height_o="4654" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2f8424169cb6627248a526ab9856aff24fdef0b2045cd5a3f5cb772de4410686/EvaVermandel-1991-92.jpg" data-mid="128643191" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2f8424169cb6627248a526ab9856aff24fdef0b2045cd5a3f5cb772de4410686/EvaVermandel-1991-92.jpg" /> <img width="5315" height="3543" width_o="5315" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dc76e0b50da9448484c83855d829c82374445a9ca51e864bbc1695cc51145186/EvaVermandel-1976.jpg" data-mid="128643144" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dc76e0b50da9448484c83855d829c82374445a9ca51e864bbc1695cc51145186/EvaVermandel-1976.jpg" /> <img width="5315" height="3543" width_o="5315" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7321993227021264f6cd2caeeccdb2ef9865bb821fca42bf38fb5ca9914d240b/EvaVermandel-1981.jpg" data-mid="128643145" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7321993227021264f6cd2caeeccdb2ef9865bb821fca42bf38fb5ca9914d240b/EvaVermandel-1981.jpg" /> <img width="5315" height="3543" width_o="5315" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7b0601f7832d2517244c7e751665bba3a44c8f0bc9aa2f84e51d1e12ba8847fe/EvaVermandel-1986.jpg" data-mid="128643146" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7b0601f7832d2517244c7e751665bba3a44c8f0bc9aa2f84e51d1e12ba8847fe/EvaVermandel-1986.jpg" /> <img width="5315" height="3543" width_o="5315" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4fec5190cc9753a21edfd869380e893ba887bae83668659203c9fa9876d97b80/EvaVermandel-1988.jpg" data-mid="128643148" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4fec5190cc9753a21edfd869380e893ba887bae83668659203c9fa9876d97b80/EvaVermandel-1988.jpg" /> <img width="5315" height="3543" width_o="5315" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2fb7f900de447809ef6502013d3c3aab6c04a9ab89c5ee6be47b9bd53030f320/EvaVermandel-1998.jpg" data-mid="128643149" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2fb7f900de447809ef6502013d3c3aab6c04a9ab89c5ee6be47b9bd53030f320/EvaVermandel-1998.jpg" /> <img width="5315" height="3543" width_o="5315" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cd4d0575f57ff420ce765c64325522a28353c0de8939fe5272f876f3f8748440/EvaVermandel-2001.jpg" data-mid="128643150" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cd4d0575f57ff420ce765c64325522a28353c0de8939fe5272f876f3f8748440/EvaVermandel-2001.jpg" /> <img width="5315" height="3543" width_o="5315" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1362bce256b60f5fb927fff13c58486829e6da38f1e525f6acc14110640e6a81/EvaVermandel-2013.jpg" data-mid="128643151" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1362bce256b60f5fb927fff13c58486829e6da38f1e525f6acc14110640e6a81/EvaVermandel-2013.jpg" /> <img width="5315" height="3543" width_o="5315" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/76336cf7002a0e1b7c25c9946a321302261cf03ec79e5cde4ce907f2ac2e3658/EvaVermandel-2015.jpg" data-mid="128643152" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/76336cf7002a0e1b7c25c9946a321302261cf03ec79e5cde4ce907f2ac2e3658/EvaVermandel-2015.jpg" /> <img width="5315" height="3543" width_o="5315" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0bb05a81290c9f22543ea8b18c529d22d891fba2d23ecfc49ea990c7065ebaa5/EvaVermandel-2019.jpg" data-mid="128643153" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0bb05a81290c9f22543ea8b18c529d22d891fba2d23ecfc49ea990c7065ebaa5/EvaVermandel-2019.jpg" /> <img width="5315" height="3543" width_o="5315" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f6a0de5399ec1dba4b845fc4bac190e1b21e770eba92ac35458bbcea16e87a7d/EvaVermandel-2025.jpg" data-mid="128643154" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f6a0de5399ec1dba4b845fc4bac190e1b21e770eba92ac35458bbcea16e87a7d/EvaVermandel-2025.jpg" /> ROSSAERT&nbsp;Rossaert was originally a seaman’s hat shop. This little medieval house in the Nosestraat backs onto St Paul’s Church, with its gallery of paintings by Rubens, Van Dyck and Jordaens. Its front window looks onto the (once) colourful Veemarkt square, where women of easy virtue used to canoodle with the sailors. Rossaert’s passers-by included pleasure-seekers, dandies, fortune-hunters, writers and artists. Big names, too, from the French Romantic painter Eugène Delacroix, with his fascination for Rubens, and the authors Théophile Gautier and Gérard de Nerval, who came in search of real-life Rubenesque blondes, to the moody Baudelaire, William Turner, who sketched the Rossaert house in his travel journal, Victor Hugo, who was fascinated by the old Antwerp, and Félicien Rops, who sought, found and drew his muses here. Not to mention the countless dignitaries who came to admire the private art collections, the churches and the museum. Eva Vermandel (b. 1974) is a Belgian photographer who lives and works in London. Her practice investigates&nbsp;the impact of the intense technological change we’ve experienced in the last couple of decades on society and individuals. Vermandel’s first monograph ‘Splinter’ (2013, Hatje Cantz) received accolades internationally and her work is in the collections of the V&amp;A, London; the National Portrait Gallery, London; and the National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh. Concurrently with her artistic practice, Vermandel undertakes commissions as a portrait photographer and her work has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, FT Magazine, The Wire, W Magazine and Telegraph Magazine. In 2008 she collaborated with the Icelandic band Sigur Rós on the book for the deluxe edition of the album Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, which was launched with an exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery, London. In 2015 Eva was commissioned by the Sydney Festival to create 40 portraits across four continents of artists and participants in the festival in order to celebrate its history. The resulting portraits went on display on billboard posters scattered throughout Sydney city centre for the duration of the festival’s 40th edition in 2016.&nbsp;Vermandel lectures in Photography at Middlesex University, London. ︎︎︎ Installation photos © Karin Borghouts <img width="2000" height="1622" width_o="2000" height_o="1622"

who has been at the forefront of contemporary photographic practice since the early 1980’s, emerging at a time when photography, at least in the UK, was still seen as a contested medium for fine art. Early on in his career Fraser turned his back on working in black and white – as well as more established genres of documentary, reportage and social realism – to pursue his own idiosyncratic and deeply personal practice in the controversial and, at the time, denigrated medium of colour photography. It is perhaps difficult now to understand just how radical a step that was but, for Fraser, colour was already becoming his great subject. All of Fraser’s photographs are ‘found’; he does not construct his pictures but rather focuses in on the objects and images he encounters around him. Through his lens often humble subjects reveal something more enigmatic and profound, opening our eyes to the strangeness and beauty of the visible world. Produced through an intuitive and lyrical method, which is matched by an intense focus and specificity, he creates highly charged images of enormous resonance. Fraser’s best photographs offer a kind of poetic sensibility married with, to use his own words, a thing’s ‘irrefutable fact’. Fraser approaches the world with the curiosity, openness and inquisition of a scientist or natural philosopher. It is telling that he studied science and engineering, then photography, rather than art. His work has always been concerned with both the material and the metaphysical and he uses his camera as an instrument of enquiry, trying to get to the essence of a thing by looking at it with both innocence and intelligence and opening up a sometimes fragile space in which it might appear. &nbsp; &nbsp; ︎︎︎ MARTIN CLARK artistic director Tate St Ives, 2013 DIE PLEK CBR Building&nbsp;(Brussels) <img width="1024" height="683" width_o="1024" height_o="683" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c5a573f18526648ebf9cd15786d92472bb574f4fbc44533d34f00568dbad86b5/brodzki_fosbury3.jpg" data-mid="128645096" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c5a573f18526648ebf9cd15786d92472bb574f4fbc44533d34f00568dbad86b5/brodzki_fosbury3.jpg" /> <img width="1417" height="945" width_o="1417" height_o="945" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/62defa11bfccc496d99cfaaec4ce1ca9f2f766bf007722ff66bf1ee11e3530ae/PeterFraser-9323.jpg" data-mid="128645060" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/62defa11bfccc496d99cfaaec4ce1ca9f2f766bf007722ff66bf1ee11e3530ae/PeterFraser-9323.jpg" /> <img width="1417" height="1134" width_o="1417" height_o="1134" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/080dbd38798600502e0fd4f308a78cb8f04b0885c1dadca429c47a294fee3a33/PeterFraser-9223.jpg" data-mid="128645050" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/080dbd38798600502e0fd4f308a78cb8f04b0885c1dadca429c47a294fee3a33/PeterFraser-9223.jpg" /> <img width="1417" height="942" width_o="1417" height_o="942" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6ff7a5aa0026d59f4353d6db55d2da0ac0e3eca31b29a81613fa386794b85430/PeterFraser-9258.jpg" data-mid="128645051" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6ff7a5aa0026d59f4353d6db55d2da0ac0e3eca31b29a81613fa386794b85430/PeterFraser-9258.jpg" /> <img width="1417" height="945" width_o="1417" height_o="945" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7ed50b3b7905d8f1591a53ffb1c50e791701a6832fbb21d1c121ab0b76d342e2/PeterFraser-9289.jpg" data-mid="128645052" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7ed50b3b7905d8f1591a53ffb1c50e791701a6832fbb21d1c121ab0b76d342e2/PeterFraser-9289.jpg" /> <img width="1417" height="945" width_o="1417" height_o="945" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/969e2a1aa3b6fe128e851d598a5bae34cb107c37e7e4f73061e2f1d05a3886e4/PeterFraser-9309.jpg" data-mid="128645053" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/969e2a1aa3b6fe128e851d598a5bae34cb107c37e7e4f73061e2f1d05a3886e4/PeterFraser-9309.jpg" /> <img width="1417" height="945" width_o="1417" height_o="945" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/204e259f65cbaeda9463e8b837edc9bbf1341635ada7077ddb3904febc918561/PeterFraser-9311.jpg" data-mid="128645054" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/204e259f65cbaeda9463e8b837edc9bbf1341635ada7077ddb3904febc918561/PeterFraser-9311.jpg" /> <img width="1326" height="945" width_o="1326" height_o="945" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/df1c6dc61b6b8d0b1966de7417381c67fc44bd15acc2f11c6d885cf3cb55ceed/PeterFraser-9315.jpg" data-mid="128645055" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/df1c6dc61b6b8d0b1966de7417381c67fc44bd15acc2f11c6d885cf3cb55ceed/PeterFraser-9315.jpg" /> <img width="1417" height="1134" width_o="1417" height_o="1134" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2e5eb72b87faf52fd2aabdd2040a798d8a52dc95514e88c3036ebbd41c86e62d/PeterFraser-9317-18.jpg" data-mid="128645056" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2e5eb72b87faf52fd2aabdd2040a798d8a52dc95514e88c3036ebbd41c86e62d/PeterFraser-9317-18.jpg" /> <img width="1417" height="945" width_o="1417" height_o="945" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ce9fde46307c1be3905f441e21b420d8269124734f96702611a3b4ebccdb677c/PeterFraser-9319.jpg" data-mid="128645057" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ce9fde46307c1be3905f441e21b420d8269124734f96702611a3b4ebccdb677c/PeterFraser-9319.jpg" /> <img width="1134" height="1417" width_o="1134" height_o="1417" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/36bed4d7c321f891b117706350e6fd53c0bf08fda1f1c5d6687e71a212e61809/PeterFraser-9321-22.jpg" data-mid="128645058" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/36bed4d7c321f891b117706350e6fd53c0bf08fda1f1c5d6687e71a212e61809/PeterFraser-9321-22.jpg" /> <img width="1417" height="1134" width_o="1417" height_o="1134" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5f7c14bbe8f5ad2bcbdca998f9c8bdc190e74f35aeefabe8ce1780d549f1d814/PeterFraser-9327-29.jpg" data-mid="128645061" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5f7c14bbe8f5ad2bcbdca998f9c8bdc190e74f35aeefabe8ce1780d549f1d814/PeterFraser-9327-29.jpg" /> CBR Building | Fosbury&amp;Sons&nbsp;(Chaussée de la Hulpe 18 1170 Watermael-Boitsfort (8th floor)&nbsp;An extraordinary architect is behind the remarkable design: Constantin Brodzki (b. 1924), of Polish-Belgian descent. Brodzki, who still refers to his modernist masterpiece as ‘the most modern building in Belgium’, was ahead of his time. When, in 1970, he completed construction on the now-former headquarters of cement company CBR, his decision to use curved concrete modules was unheard of – and proved visionary. This modernist aesthetic, more sculpted than traditional Brutalism, has been imitated in dozens of other Brussels office buildings since. The building featured as the only Belgian building in the 1979 MoMA (NYC) exhibition “Transformation in Modern Architecture 1960 – 1980” selected by Marcel Breuer. The location is very central: located close to the Sonian forest and only 10 minutes away from Avenue Louise. The exhibition takes places on the eight floor which offers a spectacular panoramic view over the Sonian Forest. Peter Fraser(b. 1953 Cardiff, Wales) studied photography at Manchester Polytechnic in 1972 after three months of Civil Engineering studies, and graduated in 1976.In the summer of 1984, Fraser travelled to Memphis, USA to spend two months with William Eggleston which followed a duo exhibition at the Arnolfini, Bristol. He then worked on several series of photographs, leading to a first publication, Two Blue Buckets, which won the Bill Brandt Prize in London (the precursor of the CitiBank International Photography Prize) in 1988.&nbsp;In 2002, The Photographers’ Gallery, London, staged a 20 year survey exhibition of Fraser’s work, and he was shortlisted for the Citigroup International Photography Prize in 2004. In 2009, Fraser was given a commission by The Ffotogallery, Wales, to make new work for a solo exhibition at the gallery, which opened in March 2010, with a new publication, Lost For Words. In 2013, Tate St Ives held a retrospective of Fraser’s career, and Tate published a major monograph on the whole of Fraser’s career. This was the first retrospective at Tate by a living British photographer working in colour. In 2014, Fraser was awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the Royal Photographic Society, UK. His most recent series Mathematics opened at Real Jardin Botanico, Madrid in 2017, then opening at Camden Arts Centre, London in July 2018.&nbsp;Fraser’s work is in the collections of V&amp;A, London; Arts Council of England, London; St. Louis Museum of Art, USA; Foundation A Stichting, Brussels; Mast Foundation, Bologna; Yale Centre for British Art, USA; Tate, London; Siemens Collection, Munich; and private collections worldwide. ︎︎︎ Installation photos © Karin Borghouts <img width="1415" height="1772" width_o="1415" height_o="1772"

the margin, peep shows and certain belgitude ERIC MIN&nbsp;: Documentary photography is in the first place concerned with the representation of reality. A photographer who practises this genre shows the world as it is, without any artifices other than the choice of field of view and exposure time. His shot says no more than ‘look, I saw this; I thought it was worth recording and I wanted to show it to you too’. In that sense, the photograph stands as a record with both feet planted in the history of photography – and in the traditional misconception that a photograph shows us the real world, and would even be an exact print-out of the true reality. Can you still say that today? KAAT DEJONGHE&nbsp;: It may be true that a great many people still start from the assumption that what they see on a photo is ‘real’: a faithfully reproduced fragment, lifted straight from reality. For In the Margin, we wanted to go a step further and let the personality of the photographer play a part. In any case, every photographer interprets his subject in a very personal way. If you asked several people to photograph the same theme, you would get as many versions as there are people taking part. Everyone adds a personal touch to it – that in itself is already a transformation of the material. It isn’t just a matter of pushing a little button and leaving the camera obscura to do the work. Because he approaches his subject in his own way, a good photographer makes an artistic intervention. By the choices he makes, he gives a twist to the situation. The result is that the observer keeps looking, can see something he has never seen before. The photographer reacts to the reality and interprets it; he lets his temperament loose on it. It is particularly that element that we want to show. The discussion has obviously gone on for a long time already. As early as the 1930s, in the aftermath of the New Objectivity and the theories of Bertolt Brecht, there was a protracted discussion about the possibility of an objective representation of daily life – and about the desirability of this. Today the debate is by no means closed. In the 1980s, Sebastião Salgado was told that his photographs of the Serra Pelada mine workers disguised reality too much. They were too ‘beautiful’: if you represented subjects such as slave labour or war in an aestheticised way, it would pull the wool over the public’s eyes, and try to convince us that misery was a good thing too… I find all this fuss quite a compliment for Salgado’s work. It proves that he has succeeded in starting a discussion on truth and beauty, and about the prejudices and models with which we look at images. Nothing is black and white. You may not be able to stop a war or help to rid the world of injustice by taking photographs of it, but you can start people thinking about it and stirring things up. If anyone does this by working out an aesthetically perfect iconography, then that is their choice. Perhaps this is the beauty of the In the Margin project: that documentary photography does not only need to be displayed in magazines, as illustrations to an article, but that with the world as base material powerful images can be made, which can also function autonomously as artistic images. They are still documentary in the sense that they show us the reality, but at the same time they are charged with aesthetics. ︎︎︎ In The Margin&nbsp; FULL ESSAY DIE PLEK DR.

The museum opened its doors in 1986. It is housed in the old hospital on the grounds of the Psychiatric Center Dr. Guislain in Ghent, named after the psychiatrist Jozef Guislain. In addition to an extensive permanent collection, three to four exhibitions are organized every year. The permanent collection consists of: an exhibition on the history of psychiatry and the Brothers of Charity, a fixed photo selection of outsider art, including some images of Nek Chand. In the Margin was a top selection of Belgian documentary photographers, who shed light on the ‘other side’ of existence: the aberrant, the delinquent, the extraordinary, the unobserved and the crude. It was the first show to include all Belgian Magnum photographers. More than 400 photographs by 25 photographers were shown. Participating photographers included: Filip Claus, Carl De Keyzer, Bieke Depoorter, Tim Dirven, Martine Franck, Cedric Gerbehaye, Brigitte Grignet, Harry Gruyaert, Nick Hannes, Viviane Joakim, Gert Jochems, Jimmy Kets, Jan Locus, Jacques Sonck, Marie Sordat, Bruno Stevens, Dieter Telemans, Marc Trivier, Gael Turine, Michel Vanden Eeckhoudt, Stephan Vanfleteren, John Vink. The exhibition was curated by Kaat DeJonghe. Lannoo published the photo book In the Margin.

Schindler Modern Creators building at Holloway Drive in West Hollywood. The building is a geometric clamshell with a staggering view of Sunset Boulevard. The row of four shop units originally was designed for A. Garland in 1936 and finished in&nbsp;stages between 1937 and 1946. <img width="1280" height="557" width_o="1280" height_o="557" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5f139dacbc4496e67e3519c0009595258ed1db50fdc13ad6c79a01f4f39f3636/image.png" data-mid="244274254" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5f139dacbc4496e67e3519c0009595258ed1db50fdc13ad6c79a01f4f39f3636/image.png" /><img width="640" height="518" width_o="640" height_o="518" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b5b63f0da2b2a6f71b15247ddc4dde34196acd6e540e9554b5207bf568425b8c/image-2.png" data-mid="244274253" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/640/i/b5b63f0da2b2a6f71b15247ddc4dde34196acd6e540e9554b5207bf568425b8c/image-2.png" /><img width="454" height="640" width_o="454" height_o="640" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b6052843a436bc47d3e84caf5275fd18b68c9277b59c0523fc19ea866cc63340/image-3.png" data-mid="244274252" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/454/i/b6052843a436bc47d3e84caf5275fd18b68c9277b59c0523fc19ea866cc63340/image-3.png" /> The Los Angeles Times critic Aaron Betsky described it as follows: 'The sloped and multifaceted gesture is in reality a mezzanine to the main corner store. It originally was a crystalline form filled with glass that glimmered with the afternoon sun and washed the selling floor below with light. Morning sun came in through another set of clerestory windows in the back.&nbsp;(…) a network of stretched diagonals, intersecting lines and sloped forms into planes of white and glass.&nbsp;The unit floats on its steeply sloped site, held up by an L-shaped stucco sill or underline that was a device Schindler often used to transform his flat facades into Cubist compositions. A vertical plane sticking up over the facade on Holloway grounds this geometric flourish and acts as a counterpoint to another set of horizontal lines that become lintels for the rest of the storefronts. The active glass boxes of the units push up and out to display their wares, decomposing the simple stucco forms above them. It makes you feel as if the building is a gift box whose wares are exploding out from the bottom."We keep being committed to honouring this architectural gem with exhibitions that deserve the diffused natural northern light and open plan space complemented with a high ceiling and a tectonic feeling. <img width="3000" height="3000" width_o="3000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/550d9655959b7418e46586f506716a8639068de2a0c0d5d1eaaa5575e8c0e79b/logo.png" data-mid="129037608" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/550d9655959b7418e46586f506716a8639068de2a0c0d5d1eaaa5575e8c0e79b/logo.png" /> https://dieplek1.cargo.site/KAAT Fri, 31 Dec 2021 22:47:31 +0000 DiePlek01 https://dieplek1.cargo.site/KAAT KAAT&nbsp; ︎ DEJONGHE Founder, Die Plek Based in Belgium and Los Angeles, curator Kaat DeJonghe collaborates with notable contemporary artists. She approaches her work from a background of philosophy, photography and film post-production, with extensive film lab experience. Her practice challenges established systems of curation and re-evaluates the medium of photography within contemporary art. DeJonghe gravitates toward the analog — photographs in which you can see and feel the grain and appreciate the full spectrum of grey. She is passionate about meticulously edited photography books and discovering new aspects of a work when viewed in a singular architectural context. ︎︎︎INTERVIEW&nbsp;BY BRITISH JOURNAL OF PHOTOGRAPHY ︎︎︎ Portrait by © Joke Timmermans <img width="1200" height="1550" width_o="1200" height_o="1550" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a37bafc054b80a37db9ca442528d0eeabed5cbbbce07ffbb1ccde66a96a5ab38/kaat_photo.jpg" data-mid="128650296" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a37bafc054b80a37db9ca442528d0eeabed5cbbbce07ffbb1ccde66a96a5ab38/kaat_photo.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="3000" width_o="3000" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a3bf4a34db9e487174e4a14dff82b1e44fab6d9559ec1f09e7c75c4ebc1645b8/logo.png" data-mid="129037335" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a3bf4a34db9e487174e4a14dff82b1e44fab6d9559ec1f09e7c75c4ebc1645b8/logo.png" /> https://dieplek1.cargo.site/PRESS Fri, 31 Dec 2021 22:55:08 +0000 DiePlek01 https://dieplek1.cargo.site/PRESS PRESS ︎ CENTER ︎︎︎Lampoon &nbsp;JULY 2022 ︎︎︎British Journal of Photography &nbsp;SEPT 2019 ︎︎︎Noon &nbsp;SS 2019 ︎︎︎Elephant&nbsp;
