BPM 2020/1: Vanishing Point – Philippe Poncet by Olivier Gadet

11. maj u 18 časova
Institut français de Serbie/ Francuski institut u Srbiji
Knez Mihailova 31

Kustos David Pujado

Ova izložba predstavlja skup radova francuskog fotografa Filipa Ponsea (1963–2015). Filip Ponse se profesionalno bavio fotografijom i paralelno s tim studirao filozofiju u klasi Žana-Morisa Monoajea, profesora na Collège de France. On je 1998. godine osvojio nagradu Agfa European Portrait Award i njegove fotografske radove objavili su Éditions cent pages, Le Monde, Qantara (časopis Instituta arapskog sveta u Parizu). Njegova dela uvršćena su u kolekcije Narodne biblioteke Francuske.

Od morskih obala do bašti, psi laju, karavani prolaze. Radi se o putevima i kvarovima, jurcanju i čekanju, kočevima i stolicama. Vidimo napuštenu fabriku, pa barake. U daljini vidimo granice. Izgleda da je horizont udaljen petnaest kilometara. Ne skidamo pogled s njega. Nešto nam izmiče.

Smisao ovih fotografija je diskretan, kao da je u iščekivanju. Iz njih izviru brojne priče, tonovi i pokreti: varijacije, preludijumi i fuge.

Samo je gledao kako se njegovo nebo gasi, a senka uobličava. Horizont se gubio, nije ga ispuštao iz vida, jer znao je za njegove nagle prelaze, iz iskustva. U tami je i bolje čuo, čuo je zvuke koje mu je dugi dan skrivao, žamore ljudi, ili kišu na vodi.
Semjuel Beket, Mersije i Kamije

Izložba će trajati do 3. juna 2021.

VAŽNO:
Imajte na umu da zbog situacije sa Covid-19 niko ne može ući u galeriji bez zaštitne maske, kako je propisano propisima Republike Srbije.

Curator David Pujadó

This exhibition presents a series of photographs by French photographer Philippe Poncet (1963-2015). Philippe Poncet trained as a professional photographer and also studied philosophy under Jean-Maurice Monnoyer, a professor at the Collège de France. Winner of the Agfa European Portrait Award in 1998, his photographic work has been published by Éditions Cent Pages, Le Monde, Qantara (magazine of the Institut du Monde Arabe). His work is represented in the public collections of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France.

From the seaside to the allotments, a vague dog barks, caravans pass by. It is a question of roads and breakdowns, of running and waiting, of wooden stakes and chairs. Here we see a wasteland, then huts. In the distance one sees the borders. The horizon is fifteen kilometres away, it seems. One does not remove their eyes from it. Something escapes.

The meaning of these photographs remains discrete, as if in suspension. Snippets of stories emerge; a tone and a movement emerge: variations, preludes and fugues.

Alone he watched the sky go out, dark deepen to its full. He kept his eyes on the engulfed horizon, for he knew from experience what last throes it was capable of. And in the dark he could hear better too, he could hear the sounds the long day had kept from him, human murmurs for example, and the rain on the water.
Samuel Beckett, Mercier and Camier

The exhibition will run until 3rd June, 2021

IMPORTANT:
Please note that due to the Covid-19 situation nobody can enter the Gallery without wearing a mask as required by the Rep of Serbia regulations.

BPM 2020/1: Platforme – Natan Dvir

25. maj u 19 časova
Dom omladine Beograda
Makedonska 22

Platforme predstavljaju istraživačku seriju jedinstvene podzemne arhitekture Njujorka, kroz koju se svakodnevno prolazi, tj. u kojoj se privremeno boravi. Metro platforme posmatrane sa tačke gledišta putnika sa suprotnih strana predstavljaju voajersko iskustvo precizno presečeno arhitekturom prostora. Vizualna reminiscencija na filmsku traku sveprisutnih metro kolona organizuje prostor u višestruki narativ. Postoji potreba za posmatranjem druge strane kako bi se održala dinamika između prolaznika i upotpunila slika. Platforma postaje pozornica gde glumci zauzimaju svoja privremena mesta pre dolaska voza prizivajući naredni čin.

Slike ove serije predstavljaju nijanse samoizolacije u gustini haotičnog megalopolisa. Interakcije, ili njihova odsustva, manifestuju se kroz govor tela i mesta sa kojih putnici posmatraju. Preplavljujućom upotrebom personalizovanih uređaja gubi se još više mogućnosti za ljudski kontakt. Kombinovanjem voajerizma i fotografije i korišćenjem prednosti arhitekture podzemne železnice, u seriji se odražava otuđenost, odvajanje, lični prostor, individualizam, usamljenost i prolazna povezanost podzemnih prolaza urbanog megalopolisa.

BPM 2020/1: Platforms – Natan Dvir

May 25, 7 pm
Dom omladine Beograda
Makedonska 22

Platforms is a series exploring the unique New York underground architecture and the people temporarily passing through it. Subway platforms seen from the point of view of a waiting commuter on the other side, present a voyeuristic experience geometrically dissected by the architecture of the space. Visually reminiscent of photographic filmstrips, the ubiquitous subway columns organise the space into multiple narratives. One needs to scan across in order to reveal dynamics between the passersby and see the complete picture. The platform becomes a stage where actors take their temporary place until the train passes and invites the following act.

The images in this series visualise the nuances of a self-inflicted isolation in an otherwise dense and chaotic mega-city. Interactions, or lack there of, manifest themselves in body language and spatial locations of the commuters observed. Overwhelming usage of personal technological devices minimise the potential for human connection even further. Combining a voyeuristic practice with a photographic strategy taking advantage of the stations’ architectural characteristics, the series reflects detachment, separation, personal spaces, individualism, loneliness, and momentary connections in the underground niches of an urban metropolis.

BPM 2020/1: Anahronike 1995–2020 – Siniša Vlajković

20. maj u 19 časova
Radisson Collection Hotel, Old Mill Belgrade
Bulevar vojvode Mišića

Anahronike 1995–2020 je pregled dvadesetpetogodišnjeg umetničkog rada srpskog fotografa Siniše Vlajkovića, koji vodi posmatrača na svojevrsno putovanje otkrića i samootkrivanja, krećući se napred kroz prostor i unazad kroz vreme.
Svet slika koji Siniša Vlajković godinama dokumentuje služi kao podsetnik da svi mi nasleđujemo jednu opaku bolest – nostalgičnost. Njegovi radovi su portreti fragmenata različitih gradskih prizora, koji uvek sadrže neki predmet iz prošlosti ili ideju o staroj i propadajućoj distopiji – prikaz čitavih svetova koje ćemo u budućnosti zaboraviti. Nije nikakva misterija zašto Anahronike pretražuju vrednosti naše kulture, ponekad nas i pritiskajući svojim neprestanim podsećanjem na istorijsko breme previsokih društvenih očekivanja.

BPM 2020/1: Anachronicles 1995–2020 – Siniša Vlajković

May 20, 7 pm
Radisson Collection Hotel, Old Mill Belgrade
Bulevar vojvode Mišića

Anachronicles 1995-2020 is a 25-year survey of the work of Serbian photo-grapher Siniša Vlajković, taking the viewer on an idiosyncratic journey of discovery and self-discovery, moving forward through space and backwards through time.
The imagery that Siniša Vlajković has been documenting for years serves as a reminder that we are the inheritors of a deadly disease: nostalgia. His work portrays a fragmenting of various cityscapes, which always contain an object from the past or the idea of the old and decaying dystopia – images of worlds that we will forget in the future. It is no mystery why the Anachronicles are searching throughout the values of our culture, sometimes even oppressing us with a constant reminder of a difficult history or high societal expectation.
From the essay The Reminiscence of an Image by independent curator Lara Pan

BPM 2020/1: Moda i strast – Studenti Fakulteta za medije i komunikacije

14. maj od 19 časova
Galerija N.EON
Crnogorska 10

Kustos Dragan Pavlović

Moda i strast naziv je izložbe fotografija na kojoj se predstavljaju studenti osnovnih studija departmana Digitalne umetnosti, Fakulteta za medije i komunikacije iz Beograda. U specifičnim okolnostima usled pandemije, u okviru kursa modne fotografije, studenti su bili primorani da ograničeno koriste studijske uslove uz aktiviranje dodatne kreativnosti, improvizacije i adaptacije. Predstavljene radove, pored žanrovski orijentisane modne fotografije, tematski dopunjavaju autoportreti i portreti u slobodnoj formi. Lice i telo u metaforičnim i simboličnim pokretima odraz su specifičnosti vremena u kome se živi, a istovremeno i modnih stavova i odnosa.

Autori fotografija:
Ana Stanojević, Andrea Ašanin, Angelina Kačunković, Balša Leković, Bojana Božičić, Isidora Dimitrijević, Jasna Mijušković, Julija Radosavljević, Luka Rajković, Marija Đorđević, Mina Davidovac, Olga Tomić, Sofija Ivanović, Teodora Arsić i Viktorija Đorđević.

BPM 2020/1: Fashion and Passion

May 14, 7 pm
Galerija N.EON
Crnogorska 10

Curated by Dragan Pavlović

Fashion and Passion is the name of the photo exhibition which presents works from the students of the Department of Digital Art, Faculty of Media and Communications from Belgrade. As students participating in a fashion photography course and due to the specific epidemic circumstances, they were forced to make limited use of study facilities, therefore forcing them to adapt, improvise and find new ways to be creative. The presented works, in addition to genre-oriented fashion photography, thematically complement self-portraits and portraits in free form. The face and body in metaphorical and symbolic movements are a reflection of the peculiarities of the moment and time in which one lives, and, at the same time, they are a reflection of fashion attitudes and relationships.

The authors of the photographs are:
Ana Stanojević, Andrea Ašanin, Angelina Kačunković, Balša Leković, Bojana Božičić, Isidora Dimitrijević, Jasna Mijušković, Julija Radosavljević, Luka Rajković, Marija Đorđević, Mina Davidovac, Olga Tomić, Sofija Ivanović, Teodora Arsić and Viktorija Đorđević.

BPM 2020/1: Pejzaži nemara – Feđa Kiselički

12. maj u 19 časova
Dorćol Platz
Dobračina 59b

Feđa Kiselički se godinama bavi buđavim predelima koje je njegov nemar prema hrani umeo da rasprostre po namirnicama u frižideru. Kako kaže, projekat fotografskog interesovanja za živi svet frižidera osmislio je kao kritiku savremenog bahatog odnosa prema hrani. Fasciniran oblicima, bojama i svetlosnim efektima detalja golom oku nevidljivog stvaralaštva buđi, Feđa je snimao mikrosvet nastao iz sopstvenog, ali i šireg ljudskog nemara makroobjektivom, da bi potom snimke višestruko uvećavao, čemu svedoče ovde izložene fotografije. Takvim umetničkim postupkom, koji bi mogao da se shvati i kao izraz bioumetnosti, ljudska neodgovornost je dobila monumentalne razmere gusto satkanog i nezaustavljivog života razigranih micelijuma majušnih gljiva, čime je Feđa umnogome otežao navike neprimećivanja i nebavljenja problemom prehrambenog javašluka. Njegov je umetničko-fotografski potpis jedinstven među čitavom plejadom umetnika i umetnica čije je stvaralaštvo nadahnula plesan, a među koje spadaju i nemački umetnički fotograf Klaus Pihler, čije mrtve prirode s buđavom hranom kritički podsećaju na činjenicu da danas blizu milijardu ljudi na planeti gladuje, ali i meni omiljena Elin Tomas, koja veze, hekla i šije verističke motive plesni.

Zaposlen je u Muzeju grada Novog Sada kao fotograf, a izlagao je na jedanaest samostalnih izložbi.

Izložba će trajati do 22. maja 2021.

BPM 2020/1: Panoramic Neglect – Feđa Kiselički

May 12, 7 pm
Dorćol Platz
Dobračina 59b

A few years ago, Feđa Kiselički started channelling his creative efforts into the making of a series of mouldscapes or images of landscape-like scenery depicting the spread of mould over neglected food items in his refrigerator. According to the author, this photographic interest in the living world inside his fridge has emerged as a form of critique of reckless food-related habits which characterise (a large part of) the contemporary world. Enchanted by shapes, colours and light/shade effects of minute, almost invisible products of mould-made modelling, Feđa has photographed a micro world of this wide-spread food-related human carelesseness using a macro lense. Thus taken pictures were then substantially enlarged, as exhibited here. Feđa’s BioArt(istic) method renders human inattention simultaneously monumental in proportions and comprised of a tightly knit, unstoppable life of frolicking mycelia belonging to tiny fungi. In so doing, the author has made it rather difficult for us to ignore or leave untackled the problem of alimentary abuse. Feđa’s artistic expression has earned him a distinct place among other mould-inspired artists, such as German art photographer Klaus Pichner, whose series of still life with rotten food scraps is a criticising reminder of the fact that almost one billion people across the planet are exposed to starvation, or Elin Thomas (particularly admired by the author of this text), who crochets and sews veristic mould patterns.

Feđa works as a photographer at the City Museum of Novi Sad. He has thus far exhibited his oeuvre in 11 solo exhibitions.
