This exhibition traces the trajectory of Moriyama Daido’s career as a photographer from his debut in photography magazines in 1965 to the present, based primarily on developments over about a dozen of his photobooks.
While the subject of Moriyama’s photographs is almost always fragments of daily life that he discovers on the street, his works violently jolt the viewer, and have helped expand the concept of photography. They are also imbued with a power that inspires us to reexamine the essence of photography.
Among the over 400 works on display will be some new, and for Moriyama, rare color photographs that deal with the theme of Tokyo.

During the 1960s and 70s photographer Malcolm Lubliner documented his experiences and friendships in the Los Angeles art scene with images of Larry Bell, Wallace Berman, Sam Francis and others in their studios and at gallery openings. Lublinerʼs photographs have been collected by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the National Portrait Gallery in Washington D.C.. The exhibition “Pacific Party Time” consists of candid photographs of artists such as John Baldessari, Robert Irwin and John Altoon attending the soirees of Betty Asher, Louise Bernstein, Stanley and Elyse Grinstein, and Ken Tyler. It was at these gatherings that LA artists were first introduced to important artists from around the world.

Picturing subjects as diverse as places of worship, jungles and research laboratories, Struth once compared the space shuttle programme to the construction of the medieval cathedrals. His photographs reveal the cultural, psychological and historical undercurrents beneath the surface of modernity.
Tracing the architectural history of ordinary city streets Struth also charts the increasing uniformity of global development. While people are absent from his street scenes of Düsseldorf, Naples or New York, they take centre stage in his family portraits and his iconic museum photographs showing spectators lost in devotional gaze before works of art and architecture. In sharp contrast, his Paradise series captures impenetrable forests void of any trace of human intervention.
This exhibition spans early black and white prints to recent colour photographs that are up to 4 metres long. These include images of sites at the cutting edge of technology such as the Space Centre on Cape Canaveral. Their overwhelming scale evokes an industrial sublime; built by us, yet chillingly inhuman, these structures encapsulate the great contradictions of progress.
