Portraitiste malien du XXe siecle, Seydou Keïta est aujourd'hui considéré comme l'un des plus grands photographes contemporains. En 1935, de retour d'un séjour au Sénégal, son oncle qui offre son premier appareil photo, un Kodak Brownie: Keïta, alors âgé de quatorze ans, commence à photographier ses proches avant d'acquérir un appareil à chambre 13 x 18.Il ouvre son studio en 1948 et .e spécialise dans l'art du portrait en noir et blanc. Rapidement, sa maîtrise de la technique et son sens esthétique l'imposent comme portraitiste, et le Tout Bamako se presse chez lui: on vient se faire photographier seul, en couple, en famille ou en groupe. Installant ses modèles devant des tissus, l'artiste travaille la mise en scène de ses prises de vue: ajustant les poses, prêtant pour l'occasion vêtements, bijoux ou accessoires, il cherche à donner la plus belle mage de ses clients. Jusqu'à l'indépendance du Mali, en 1960, Seydou Keïta a réalisé plusieurs milliers de portraits de ses concitoyens: aussi ses photos constituent-elles en cela un témoignage unique sur la société malienne des années 1950. Cette grande exposition monographique permet de saisir, à travers plus de deux cents photos, l'oeuvre d'un des grands talents de la photographie africaine.

Avec Virtual Seoul, la photographe Françoise Huguier tente de résoudre une énigme qui la hante depuis qu'elle sillonne le monde et particulièrement l'Asie : Comment une ville a-t-elle pu devenir en trente ans le fer de lance de la culture populaire de toute l'Asie ? Comment la Corée du Sud est-elle parvenue à accroître son influence au point de faire pâlir la modernité japonaise ? Ce sont les traces et les signes de cette spectaculaire mutation que l'artiste nous donne à découvrir et à comprendre en parcourant un univers urbain où les frontières virtuel/réel semblent s'abolir ou se dissoudre. Mais cette modernisation trop rapide a un revers? Françoise Huguier explore, en profondeur, le mal de vivre engendré par des bouleversements dont une société restée très confucéenne pâtit pour une grande part.

Thought-provoking case studies on cities, photographs and books Photographic books are almost as old as photography itself, and the city is one of their first and more recurring themes. Cities have been, and they continue to be, intensely photographed under a wide variety of forms, materialities, intentions and genres. This volume examines how a city can be moulded through the particularities of a photographic book, suggesting how urban portraits configure an overlooked, yet quite specific, photo-textual practice. Ranging from early photography to contemporary works, Paper Cities gathers thought-provoking case studies from several international contexts, providing new insights into art, material culture, history, heritage and memory, while simultaneously illuminating the debate on cities, photographs and books.

À partir de la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle, les Européens explorent l’intérieur de l’Afrique noire. Ils sont Français, Belges, Anglais, Portugais et Allemands. Ils se sentent investis d’une mission civilisatrice. Rien ne les arrête. Ils avancent à travers les étendues arides, l’humidité des marécages, l’opacité des forêts primaires, les fleuves, les fièvres et les maladies inconnues. Ils se confrontent à des peuples apeurés ou hostiles – quelquefois même anthropophages. Grâce à la photographie, la nouvelle technologie du XIXe siècle, ils captent des instantanés de ces immensités vierges et de ces hommes noirs qui n’avaient encore jamais vu de blancs. Leurs images ont l’émotion des premières fois. Provenant de fonds d’archives européens, voici 250 photos exceptionnelles, prises entre 1880 et 1910, qui sont autant de miracles : elles ont survécu jusqu’à nous dans des conditions rocambolesques.

Josef Albers is widely recognized as a crucial figure in 20th-century art, both as an independent practitioner and as a teacher at the Bauhaus, Black Mountain College and Yale University. Albers made paintings, drawings and prints and designed furniture and typography. Arguably the least familiar aspect of his extraordinary career was his inventive engagement with photography, only widely known after his death, including his production of approximately 70 photocollages that feature photographs he made at the Bauhaus between 1928 and 1932. These works anticipate concerns that he would pursue throughout his career--the effects of adjacency, the exploration of color through white, black and gray, and the delicate balance between handcraft and industrial and mechanical form. Albers's photographs were first shown at MoMA in a modest exhibition in 1987, when the Museum acquired two photocollages. In 2015 the Museum acquired ten additional photocollages, making its collection the most substantial anywhere outside the Albers Foundation. This publication reproduces each of the photocollages Albers made at the Bauhaus, presenting the scope of this achievement for the first time. An introductory essay by Sarah Hermanson Meister situates them within the contexts of modernist photography, the Bauhaus ethos and of Albers's own practice--David Zwirner Books (viewed on November 11, 2016).

Photographic portraiture has long been one of the principal expressions of popular art in Africa, but, from the 19th-century to independence, the thematic scope was largely limited to the sitter's identity and social standing. So widely established is the great African tradition of portrait photography that it has eclipsed the rise of richer and more varied forms of expression that articulate a range of pressing contemporary concerns. Drawing on an exhibition at the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery, Columbia University, this book offers a reconsideration of contemporary African photographic portraiture by presenting four photographers - Sammy Baloji, Mohamed Camara, Sad̐ou Dicko, and George Osodi - whose concerns range well beyond questions of identity and social standing.
