Alexander Rodchenko at Fotomuseum Winterthur (Swiss)

Alexander Rodchenko – Revolution in Photography
Fotomuseum Winterthur
28.05.-14.08.2011
Modernism made photography what it is. It gave it self-confidence and made it trust itself. Self-confidence because photography in the 1920s recognized and developed its own possibilities and qualities: a probing vision of the world, an investigation of the visible reality from various perspectives, direct, clear, from above, below, behind, from the front, but without references to the pool of art history. Russian Constructivism is an important part of this great shift.

Ai Weiwei at Fotomuseum Winterthur (Swiss)

Ai Weiwei – Interlacing
Fotomuseum Winterthur
28.05.-21.08.2011
Ai Weiwei is no “narrow” artist. He is not an artist who dedicates himself to a certain issue, develops a vocabulary, and then, step by step, delves into and molds the chosen topic. Ai Weiwei is a generalist, committed to friction with reality and forming realities. And so as a sculptor, conceptual artist, photographer, architect, interview artist, and social and cultural critic, he is a seismograph of current topics and social problems, who, as a great “multiplier” and communicator, channels life into art and art into life.

Early Modernism at Moderna Museet (Malmö)

Early Modernism: 1900-1920
Moderna Museet (Malmö)
19 March 2011 – 8 April 2012
In the latter half of the 19th century, the rules and norms governing visual arts were dissolved and replaced by a wide array of artistic possibilities, where small constellations of artists fought for new, revolutionary ideas. Partly as a consequence of the emerging art of photography in the second half of the 1800s, the artists of the time eschewed the concept of naturalistic depiction and instead began to explore the conditions of painting. Illusionist painting was no longer a viable alternative.
