Emerging photography is reflected in reGeneration3
February 05, 2017Traditional printings, artist books, multimedia installations and videos show the permeable nature of emerging and international photography at the reGeneration3 exhibition, which is on display until April 2nd at the National Center of Arts (Cenart, for its acronym in Spanish).
It is an initiative of the Musée de I'Elysée that started in 2005 and presents in this third edition a selection of works by 50 artists of 25 nationalities, showing the emerging photographic situation.
A variety of approximations to deal with documentary subjects and the question of memory are revealed in different proposals together with the number of esthetic expressions inspired not only by photography but also by other artistic techniques such as sculpture, painting and dance.
The public can see, for example, the series of Imported Landscapes in which Corinna Silva from the United Kingdom plays with the landscapes; Borko by the Polish Jan Brykczynski showing the daily life of a legendary ethnic group and Museum of your memory by Ulrike Schmitz from Germany, a composition of images that combine the history of his country with his own life.
Photographs of abandoned postal offices in the United States, everyday objects, apartment windows, and some others that turn the viewer back in time like I love my family, an installation by Anna Gutová and Gabriel Fragner of Czech Republic in which clothes, furniture , haircuts and utensils recreate a bygone and familiar era.
But there are also impressive series like Emily Macinnes’s from the UK portraying men who were victims of sexual abuse in their childhood and other creative ones, like Ombre portée of the Swiss Emilie De Battista that with images of her personal file between thin layers of ice, records the slow disintegration of the screen as it warms up and gradually melts.
A recreation of Adam and Eve in a jungle integrates the series Humanae by Angelica Dass from Brazil and the visitor will also face a series of anthropological portraits that indicate the pantone of each participant’s skin
The public can admire the great variety of photographic proposals at Central and Espacio Alternativo of Cenart galleries, where the young painter Antonio Legorreta described his visit to reGeneration3 as a very enriching visual experience.
He enjoys going to museums because it is very nice to be in this reality and escaping from this type of spaces in which the atmosphere is very favorable to inquire about the ideas of other people that you have no idea who they are, but visually they attract to you.
"Just what I'm looking for, soaking up myself of it, you know, a few meters away you realize that the reality is totally different and as I paint I feel like ... I love coming to this kind of places because I realize how important is not only to express but to convey it ".
Daniela, from Bogotá, also liked the exhibition "because it has artists from different parts of the world, that seems good to me specially at the National Center of Arts. I come as an exchange student, I do not know very well how it is, but I liked it. The way it is arranged makes reading easier”.
Also Mr. Daniel and Mrs. Virginia expressly came to the Cenart to see the exhibition that they saw it advertised on television. He said that "the photographic exhibition is very interesting. We like to go to the exhibits, to comment on what we are seeing, what techniques they use and how we interpret the works ".
reGeneration3, curated by Anne Lacoste and Lydia Dorner, will be on view until Sunday, April 2nd at the National Center of Arts, from Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Free entry.
