LES RENCONTRES D’ARLES PHOTOGRAPHIE
2009-06-29This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Les Rencontres d’Arles festival of photography, for four decades, this festival has helped to define the best and brightest in photography — and it has generated quite a bit of controversy along the way, often featuring the work of iconoclasts, renegades, and troublemakers, some of whom are regarded as superstars today. So, there is a good deal of heightened anticipation about what we will discover from this year’s guest curator, New York photo legend Nan Goldin. Goldin has invited the following photographers as guest exhibitors : David Armstrong, Marina Berio, Jean-Christian Bourcart , Antoine D’Agata , JH Engström, Christine Fenzl, Leigh Ledare, Boris Mikhailov, Anders Petersen, Jack Pierson, Lisa Ross, Annelies Strba.
Opposite – Nan Goldin, Nan and Brian in bed, New york City, 1983
This exhibition runs until August the 13th, 2009
