Photography

After the stroller of Baudelaire, the surrealist wandering, the passer-by of Benjamin and the situationniste drift, now it’s time for joggers and models, modern "isolated heroes". In the exhibition Walk on the wild side, Paris-based Frank Perrin secretly brings together the jogger and the top model, who both outline strides and lines. In the heart of the the exhibition, these passers-by who expose themselves form a new face of modernity. They are "casual passers - by" of the Twenty-first century. Geneva, Analix Forever, until September 17th.

For those who are travelling to or luckily living in Beverly Hills, California, we suggest a stunning photography exhbition. Ace Gallery presents a selection Fort hose who are travelling or luckily living in California, we suggest a stunning photography exhbition. of photographic artworks by Jay Mark Johnson spanning four series: Motion Studies, Anachronistic Nature, Topological Shifts, and Spacetime Cityscapes and Landscapes. Johnson produces photographic images that challenge the norms of perception. Employing a process that is distinct from conventional photography, he creates works that merge the recording of space and time into a single, linear "spacetime" continuum. The resulting photographs are akin to both seismographs and electrocardiograms in that, as timelines, they begin on the left and end on the right. The horizontal length of the image conveys an uninterrupted and fluid measurement of a brief span of time, varying in duration from 10 seconds up to 45 minutes. Beverly Hills, Ace Gallery, until August 29th.

Sexy and the City is a summer group show hosted by Yossi Milo Gallery. It shows the alluring, romantic and some­times scandalous side of New York's people and places. Capturing private, intimate moments and blatant displays of sexuality, these photographs span the decades from the 1940s to the present day, taken in landmark locations like the Brooklyn Bridge and in the quiet, out-of-the-way corners of the city. From Alfred Eisenstaedt's iconic image of a kissing couple in Times Square on V-J Day (here on the right), 1945, to Nan Goldin's drag queen on an anonymous New York street in the 1990s, from Garry Win­ogrand's topless woman surrounded by a crowd in Central Park to the homosexual couples photographed by Alvin Baltrop in the seclusion of the West Side piers, Sexy and the City celebrates diverse views of New York City passion. This show is part of the citywide exhibition New York Photographs. From Thursday, July 9, through Friday, August 28, 2009.
