In her most recent works Anne Schneider deliberately refers to the usual steel-reinforced concrete construction, sheathing iron rods in concrete, while at the same time giving the construction material the appearance of a soft textile and thus lending it an unusual familiarity. Thanks to the artist’s handling of this cold and hard material it takes on tactile qualities: human traces, folds, curvatures and scars. Based on this initial sheathing, she had developed works that continue in diverse ways this interplay of material and effect, construction and furnishing, architecture and individual, past and present.

“The Art of Climbing Mountains,” a group exhibition inspired by an excerpt of René Daumal’s ” Mount Analogue” published in 1952. The works in this exhibition investigate a variety of positions and possibilities addressing the challenges of life and the way in which one addresses these challenges – surreal, metaphorical and otherwise. Daumal, the French Surrealist writer, was known for his allegorical novels and translations of sacred Buddhist texts. The artists involved are Cevdet Erek, Adrian Ghenie, Adriana Lara, Mike Nelson and Joel Shapiro.

Her photography addresses the construction of imagery, both within the medium itself, through the use of digital and analogue technologies, and the cultural conditions that influence the creation of imagery. Gütschow’s compositions reference 17th Century landscape painting as well as the architectural and documen-
tary photography of the1950s and ’60s.
She draws from her archive of mostly analogue images of buildings, trees, landscapes and people to assemble digital composites. At first glance the final works appear convincing as real scenes, but on closer inspection the spaces and scenes are not quite genuine, causing the constructed nature of imagery to become apparent.
Exhibition runs through to July 15th, 2011

In 1968 Josef Koudelka was thirty years old. He had committed himself to photography as a full-time career only recently, and had been chronicling the theater and the lives of gypsies, but he had never photographed a news event. That all changed on the night of August 21, when Warsaw Pact tanks invaded the city of Prague, ending the short-lived political freedom in Czechoslovakia that came to be known as the Prague Spring.
In the midst of the turmoil of the Soviet-led invasion, Koudelka took to the streets to document this critical moment.
Koudelka’s photographs of the invasion were miraculously smuggled out of the country. A year after they reached New York, Magnum Photos distributed the images, but credited them to an unknown Czech photographer to avoid reprisals. The intensity and significance of the images earned the still-anonymous photographer the Robert Capa Award.
Sixteen years would pass before Koudelka could safely acknowledge authorship.
