Photographic memory When I came back to live in this neighbourhood that I left ten years ago, I was surprised to see that the decor of the café on my street corner had not changed despite the change of owner. As in the past, the brasserie menu at Le Boyard is still the same, as is the arena of local old-timers who lunch there every day in a gossipy semi-circle…

By Halyna Hleba Based on PinchukArtCentre Research Platform materials Modern Ukrainian conceptual photography began in the 1970s in the then Soviet Kharkiv with the emergence of a generation of young people who dared to go beyond the Soviet aesthetics.

The Fahey/Klein Gallery presents Geof Kern “Midtown Exit”, a selection of photographs taken throughout Kern’s career which beautifully demonstrate his ability to illustrate whimsical scenes with a cinematic aesthetic. Kern’s multifaceted style combines photography and illustration and redefines the traditional photographic genres of fashion and still life. He uses fabricated sets and pseudo-suburban scenes to mock the mundane. Steering away from high profile models, Kern prefers neighbors, acquaintances, and locals…

Archives - April 28 2023 We celebrate the photographer's inimitable wit through his wry observations on life, relationships and, of course, dogs. A dog is a man’s best friend “Dogs have more to do than children. For one thing, they are forced to lead a life that is really schizoid. Every minute, they have to live on two planes at once, juggling the dog world against the human world. And…

Archives - April 28 2023 Everybody is equal, even celebrities “Taking pictures of celebrities is exactly like taking pictures of non-celebrities.

Archives - April 28 2023 Between the sexes “We all find new dimensions of love between the sexes.

It is, for some relationships, the right love for the season.” - Elliott Erwitt - Between the Sexes (1994) Love hurts “1st Truth: It is painful to…
Archives - April 28 2023 The alchemy of a photograph “When photography is good, it’s pretty interesting, and when it is very good, it is irrational and even magical… nothing to do with the photographer’s conscious will or desire. When the photograph happens, it comes easily, as a gift that should not be questioned or analyzed.” - Elliott Erwitt’s Personal Best (2006) "I rely on a hunch, a little luck,…

Archives - April 28 202 Ways of seeing “To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place…. I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.” - Elliott Erwitt - Museum Watching (1999) The endless fascination of museums “People seem to be attracted to items in museums with which…

The latter presents her images as follows: “’Commensalism’ is a relationship between organisms of different species in which one derives some benefit, while the other is unaffected nor harmed.
