Between 1914 and 1918, military, press and amateur photographers produced thousands of pictures. Either classified in military archives specially created with this purpose in 1915, collected in personal albums or circulated in illustrated magazines, photographs were supposed to tell the story of the war. Picturing the Western Front argues that photographic practices also shaped combatants and civilians' war experiences. Doing photography (taking pictures, posing for them, exhibiting, cataloguing and looking at them) allowed combatants and civilians to make sense of what they were living through. Photography mattered because it enabled combatants and civilians to record events, establish or reinforce bonds with one another, represent bodies, place people and events in imaginative geographies and making things visible, while making others, such as suicide, invisible. Photographic practices became, thus, frames of experience.

Es war Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, der 1864 der »Liebe, die ihren Namen nicht zu nennen wagt«, erstmals einen Namen gab: Inspiriert vom griechischen Gott Uranos, bezeichnete er gleichgeschlechtliches Begehren als Uranismus. Mit dem Begriff forderte er als einer der Ersten überhaupt öffentlich das Recht ein, anders zu lieben. Auf Ulrichs Spuren träumt Paul Preciado von einem Apartment auf dem Uranus, einem Ort fern der irdischen Kategorisierungen und Festlegungen, einem Ort der sexuellen Dissidenz. Preciados in diesem Band versammelte Texte verdichten sich zu der Erzählung eines Übergangs: einer durch die Einnahme von Testosteron angestoßenen Transformation des eigenen Körpers und der eigenen Identität – von Beatriz zu Paul. Zugleich dokumentieren und analysieren sie die im Wandel begriffenen politischen Verhältnisse. Von den Protesten im krisengebeutelten Athen über die verzweifelte Situation der Flüchtlinge auf den griechischen Inseln bis hin zur Unabhängigkeitsbewegung in Katalonien begleitet Preciado Kämpfe um Würde und Autonomie.

»Ich bin ein ganz gewöhnlicher Junge aus dem Schwarzwald«, sagte Jürgen Klopp, als er 2015 seine Trainerstelle beim FC Liverpool antrat. Kaum angekommen bei den »Reds«, war er der Liebling der Fans. Beliebt war er schon als Kapitän der Jugendmannschaft des SV Glatten, als Spieler und Trainer in Mainz, dann als Stratege beim BVB, wo er mit seiner Spielphilosophie bisher unbekannte Spieler zu Weltstars und den Klub gleich zweimal hintereinander zum Deutschen Meister machte. »Ich mag, wenn’s kracht«, sagte er einmal. Wo lässt er’s in Zukunft krachen? Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

La presente exposición y los textos que la acompañan proceden de un proyecto de investigación-creación desarrollado por Mariana Dicker, María Alejandra Fajardo, Elkin Rubiano y Javier Gil. Esta exploración pretende pensar las relaciones entre creación artística y memoria a partir de la producción artística de Beatriz González de los últimos 20 años. Consideramos que las imágenes toman posición frente a lo real; no representan lo dado o lo sucedido, sino que lo crean y dimensionan desde sus particulares modos de pensar. Tampoco aspiran a explicaciones totalizantes; significan a través de momentos, fragmentos, detalles y relaciones inéditas. Lo visual toca lo real sin aspirar a verdades absolutas y cerradas, pero desde sus singularidades expresivas renueva la percepción y la comprensión del mundo. En ese contexto, consideramos que el trabajo de Beatriz González construye memoria, asumiendo que esta no se refiere a dar cuenta de hechos objetivos ocurridos en el pasado, sino como una construcción simbólica, un trabajo, una nueva dimensión de sentido vinculada a la creación artística. Sus obras confirman las posibilidades que tienen el arte de participar en la generación de otras historias, de hacer hablar el pasado de otro modo, de expresar lo inexpresado por la historia oficial.
During the 1960s and early 1970s, a handful of young Colombian artists, including Feliza Bursztyn, Beatriz González, Bernardo Salcedo, Álvaro Barrios, and Antonio Caro, boldly transgressed artistic conventions to create art that critics labeled New Realism, Pop, Environments, and Conceptual Art. They achieved success with the crucial support of national and local art institutions. While critics and curators promoted this striking new work as international, it was firmly rooted in national artistic, social, and political reality. The New Iconoclasts: From Art of a New Reality to Conceptual Art in Colombia, 1961-1975 is a nuanced examination of this transgressive art with regard to its relationship with institutional goals and structures. Relying on extensive archival research and interviews with artists, author Gina McDaniel Tarver reveals at the root of contemporary Colombian art an ambivalent, often contradictory, and highly productive relationship between artists and institutions and between local and international aesthetics and social concerns.
