"From the Bronx to Dealey Plaza, Garry Winogrand pounded the streets of America every day of his life photographing reluctant subjects – and he left behind 6,500 undeveloped films when he died. A powerful new retrospective makes sense of the torrent of imagery by the prolific American master.

“When I’m photographing I see life. That’s what I deal with,” Garry Winogrand once said. Life, for him, was the energy of the street in all its unruly momentum. In the 1960s and 70s, he defined street photography as an attitude as well as a style – and it has laboured in his shadow ever since, so definitive are his photographs of New York. "

Sometimes I feel like...the world is a place I bought a ticket to...It's a big show for me, as if it wouldn't happen if I wasn't there with a camera. — Garry Winogrand

WERNISAŻ: Wielka Wojna na Wschodzie / The Great War in the East

Od Bałtyku po Karpaty. Z kolekcji Tomasza Kuby Kozłowskiego / From the Baltic to the Carpathian Mountains. The Tomasz Kozłowski collection

Wernisaż: 5 listopada ( środa), godz. 18.00, Dom Spotkań z Historią

I wojna światowa kojarzona jest przede wszystkim z frontem zachodnim. Masakry pod Ypres i Verdun, boje nad Marną, Sommą i Aisne zepchnęły w cień Wschód. Utrwalają ten przekaz spektakularne fotografie. Ikonografia dotycząca wschodniego frontu jest wiele skromniejsza i prawie nieznana.

Wernisaż - Araki i Jaszczuk w Leica Gallery Warszawa

Nobuyoshi Araki

"Arakimania" i "Love by Leica" Nobuyoshi Arakiego oraz "Kinky City" Pawła Jaszczuka - w listopadzie Leica Gallery Warszawa zaprezentuje jednocześnie aż trzy wystawy. Ekspozycje można oglądać w galerii od 8 listopada do 14 grudnia.

Araki to legenda japońskiej fotografii. Szokuje i wzbudza kontrowersje, a jednocześnie zyskuje fanów i poklask ekspertów dzięki swojej artystycznej wrażliwości. Łączy symbole kulturowe Wschodu i Zachodu, wulgarność z wielką delikatnością. Ciała kobiet związane według sztuki Kinbaku, odważne akty, kwiaty i jedzenie przedstawione w erotyczny sposób, a także dokument z życia i śmierci jego żony i… kota Chiro – to serie, które są znakiem firmowym Arakiego. Zdjęciom towarzyszy artystyczna zabawa słowem: autor swoją twórczość nazywa Ararchią, pokazy slajdów Arakinemą, fanom rozsyła Arakiss. Fotograf nie chowa się też za obiektywem.
