Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Kolkata and Seagull Foundation for the Arts invite you to a Photo Exhibition

Distance and Proximity

6 – 19 June 2008, 3.00 to 7.00 pm
(except Sundays)
Seagull Arts and Media Resource Centre
36C, S. P. Mukherjee Road, Kolkata 700 025

Works by Bernd and Hilla Becher, Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Axel Hütte, Simone Nieweg, Thomas Ruff, Jörg Sasse, Thomas Struth and Petra Wunderlich.
Opening: Thursday 5 June, 6.30 pm

Distance and Proximity is dedicated to the clear, even austere, vision of Bernd and Hilla Becher and their former students of the art of photography at the Dusseldorf Academy of Art. Bernd Becher, from 1976 to 1996 professor at the Academy of Art in Dusseldorf, Hilla Becher and a number of their former students are the most influential photographers of our time, and major artists on the international scene.

The exhibition presents 76 works, some of them extra large. The selection reflects both the artists’ shared approach to the chosen motifs and their artistic position.

Distance and Proximity is part of the exhibition series, ‘Photography in Germany from 1850 to the Present’, conceived and organised by curator Wulf Herzogenrath and ifa. It is a history of German photography in independent sections documenting important aspects of the development of this technical and artistic medium. The various subject exhibitions document different photographic approaches and stylized artistic stances.
