LES RENCONTRES DE LA PHOTOGRAPHIE
BACK TO THE FUTURE - Departure for the 49th Rencontres d'Arles is imminent.
This year, we are invited to cross space and time witha (according to the website of the festival) 'breathtaking, celestial journey across the ages. Photography is often the best-placed medium for registering all the shocks that remind us the world is changing, sometimes right before our eyes. An arts program is an excellent time machine-a constellation of exhibitions, intersecting, interacting and occasionally colliding. With the artist's eye as our aid, and the recent past as our measuring stick, we can discover the near future, and shed some light on the big questions of society today' - click here for more info.
This year, the Norwegian presence will be celebrated in Arles;
Jonas Bendiksen will present his exhibition 'Last Testament' in Eglise St Anne (Artist guided tour at 3 pm on July 4th) Terje Abusdal will be signing his book Slash & Burn July 5th from 4.30 pm at the Kehrer Verlag Pop Up Gallery and Objektiv launches a new issue on July 6th from 12-8 pm at Cosmos Arles Books.
We look forward to reconnecting with old friends, and to perhaps make some new - let us know if you will be in Arles!

ARNO RAFAEL MINKKINEN - in Frankfurt
The works of Minkkinen will be on display till September at Museum für Angewandte Kunst in Germany. In a review in Frankfurter Algemene Zeitung Michael Hierholzer wrote: 'On the other hand, Arno Rafael Minkkinen does not require image manipulation, and that is astonishing because the perspectives and perfect body control lead to amazing photographs in which the artist becomes nature. The forms of the body and the natural environment in his works fit each other in a striking way, the lines of body and landscape seem to be in tune with each other.´ Link to the exhibition.
