Tentoonstelling van de week - Exposition de la semaine - Exhibition of the week
'Andy Warhol by Andy Warhol' - Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art - Oslo - Norway

The exhibition will attempt to illuminate Warhol’s personal connection and engagement with themes such as icons, the consumer society, politics, religion and the self. Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art will try to reveal the autobiographical aspect, the artist ‘in first person’ behind the pictorial plane, the subjectivity behind the machine. In all, ca. 50 works by Andy Warhol will be presented. In connection with the exhibition a catalog will be published, in which several recognized Warhol specialists will write on themes defined for the exhibition.

The exhibition curators are Gunnar B. Kvaran, Hanne Beate Ueland and Grete Årbu.

Utstillingen vil søke å belyse Warhols personlige tilknytning og engasjement i forhold til temaer som ikoner, konsumersamfunnet, politikk, religion og jeg'et. Astrup Fearnley Museet for Moderne Kunst vil søke å avdekke det selvbiografiske aspektet, kunstneren i første person bak billedflaten, subjektiviteten bak maskinen. Det vil bli vist i alt ca. 50 verk av Andy Warhol. I forbindelse med utstillingen vil det bli publisert en stor katalog hvor flere anerkjente Warhol-spesialister vil skrive ut fra de ulike temaene som er definert for utstillingen.

Kuratorer for utstillingen er: Gunnar B. Kvaran, Hanne Beate Ueland og Grete Årbu.

Zacheta National Gallery of Art - Warszawa - Polska

The origins of Zachęta can be traced back to 1860, when the Society for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts was founded in Warsaw (at the time when the city was located within the Russian partition zone). As a civic initiative it was intended to promote art for the mutual benefit of both artists and society at large. The Society set for itself the task of organizing exhibitions, purchasing works of art in order to create a national collection, and assisting young artists. With the purpose of stimulating an interest in art within the community, the Society granted prizes to the public in the form of prints. In the years 1898-1900, as the combined result of a skillful move by its board of managers and significant contributions from the public, the Society was able to erect a building for its headquarters. An urban palace in eclectic style was constructed according to a the design by Stefan Szyller and decorated with a sculpted fronton with the Latin inscription ARTIBUS (‘TO THE ARTS’).

The history of the Society for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts is the shared history of the success of both artists and art-lovers, and it is the tradition that Zachęta actively seeks to foster today. Visible signs of its success include the splendid building with its exhibition rooms, its permanent collections, library, as well as its role in organizing Polish artistic life at a time when no other galleries or museums existed in Warsaw. It witnessed a struggle between conservative art supported by the adherents of traditional taste, on the one hand, and the path-breaking impulses of revolutionary new art and its supporters on the other. Zachęta’s history has been marked by grand emotion and scandal, as well as by an incident of significance for the nation, namely the assassination of Gabriel Narutowicz, the first President of the Second Polish Republic, on 16th December 1922, in Zachęta’s exhibition halls.

Although its building was one of the few to survive in Warsaw’s city center after the destruction of the Second World War, Zachęta as an institution changed immensely. Its rich collections of art have been placed in deposit at the National Museum in Warsaw, where they now constitute the heart of the Gallery of Polish Art. The space vacated at Zachęta was occupied by a newly created Central Bureau of Artistic Exhibitions. After the political transformations of 1989, Zachęta became the Zachęta State Gallery of Art, returning to the noble civic goals of the original Society for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts. Once again, it is dedicated to the enrichment of the nation’s social and cultural life, seeking to develop art at home and to promote it abroad.

Kunstbeurs van de week - Foire d'art de la semaine - Art Fair of the week
Paris Photo - Paris - France

En dix ans d'existence, Paris Photo s'est affirmé comme la première foire de l'image fixe au monde. Ce rendez-vous unique propose le meilleur des expressions photographiques des origines à nos jours, tout en offrant un panorama prospectif de la création mondiale.

L'édition 2008, qui rassemble une centaine de galeries et d'éditeurs venus des cinq continents, coïncide avec le Mois de la photo qui fera de la Ville Lumière, en novembre, l'épicentre de la création photographique mondiale.

PARIS PHOTO EN QUELQUES CHIFFRES

* 40 000 visiteurs (dont 40% d'étrangers).
* 120 exposants - galeries, éditeurs et magazines - d'une vingtaine de pays.
* Plus de 500 photographes internationaux représentés.
* Une couverture médiatique de 500 articles dans les supports les plus prestigieux de la presse internationale.
* 1 000 journalistes accrédités provenant de 50 pays.

Créé en 1997 par Rick Gadella, éditeur hollandais, Paris Photo est devenu le premier salon de photographie au monde. Dès sa création son succès s’est affirmé par la qualité de sa sélection, l’originalité de son concept; un panorama particulièrement équilibré de la création photographique des origines à nos jours, son rayonnement international avec plus de 70% de galeries étrangères, sa fréquentation par un public averti et enthousiaste, composé aussi bien d’amateurs de photographies anciennes que de collectionneurs d’art contemporain. En 2002, Reed Expositions France a repris l’organisation du Salon.

Chaque année, Paris Photo met à l’honneur une scène photographique étrangère:

2008: Japon
Commissaire d’exposition: Mariko Takeuchi

Since it first began more than a decade ago, Paris Photo has won recognition as the world's premier fair for still photography. This unique event offers a panorama of fine art photography from its early days to the present day, and presents a forward-looking overview of global trends and expressions available in this medium.

The 2008 edition, which brings together some one hundred galleries and publishers from around the world, will coincide with Paris Photography Month, making the City of Lights the international epicentre of art photography.

PARIS PHOTO - A FEW FIGURES

* 40,000 visitors (40 % from abroad).
* 120 exhibitors - galleries, publishers and magazines - from some 20 countries.
* Work by more than 500 international photographers.
* Media coverage with 500 stories in the most prestigious international news outlets.
* 1,000 accredited journalists from 50 countries

Paris Photo was created in 1997 by Rik Gadella, a Dutch publisher, who managed to bring together at the prestigious Carrousel du Louvre a potent mix of galleries that championed photographers of the “photographie pure” movement as well as contemporary artists working with photography.

Paris Photo soon became the world’s first photography fair, owing to the high quality of the exhibitors, the originality of the concept (a balance of 19th century, modern and contemporary photography), its international scope (over 70% of exhibitors come from abroad) and its discerning, enthusiastic audience ranging from collectors of antique photographs to lovers of contemporary art. In 2002, Paris Photo was taken over by Reed Expositions France which owns and organises the event.

Every year, Paris Photo highlights a specific foreign scene.

2008 : Japan
Invited curator : Mariko Takeuchi

Ibiblio

Home to one of the largest "collections of collections" on the Internet, ibiblio.org is a conservancy of freely available information, including software, music, literature, art, history, science, politics, and cultural studies. ibiblio.org is a collaboration of the School of Information and Library Science and the School of Journalism and Mass Communication at The University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill.

It's Not Your Average Library

The evolving Internet has created new opportunities to share knowledge. Imagine being able to walk into your local library and view, on demand, and without charge, not only every imaginable written text, but also music and poetry archives, African American authors, American history, sports statistics, philosophy of religion, Italian literature, large text database projects, software archives, and more.

Then imagine, in addition to being able to view the collection, you have the opportunity to critique it, expand it, or to create and manage a new collection in your own area of interest. While such a feat is physically and fiscally beyond the scope of even the largest and most extraordinary physical library, ibiblio.org achieves just such breadth and depth on the Internet.

Users in China studying American poetry or folk music can access ibiblio.org and find a vast collection of poems or songs. They can listen to the artist perform, read the biography, download sheet music, reference secondary criticism, and submit their own research papers to the collection. A veteran of World War II from anywhere in the world can access and contribute to the enthusiast-managed Pearl Harbor archives, joining the virtual dialogue on the topic.

The average municipal public library receives a few hundred visitors a week. ibiblio.org averages 12 million information requests per day, and the contributor-maintained collections are expanding daily. A free and vibrant exchange of ideas among a large community of contributors who share their knowledge across disciplines, ibiblio.org uses the open source model to encourage users to help shape the way information is managed and accessed in the 21st century.

Who and Why

ibiblio.org was formed as a collaboration between the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill's MetaLab, formerly known as SunSITE, and the Center for the Public Domain in September of 2000. At UNC-Chapel Hill, ibiblio is supported by the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the School of Information and Library Science. The collaboration has multiple components including, but not limited to, programs to:

Expand and improve the distribution of open source software;
Continue UNC's programs to develop an on-line library and archive;
Host and foster projects that expand the concepts of transparency and openness into new areas;
Create, expand, improve, publish, and distribute research on the open source communities;
Expand and improve the creation of and distribution of open source software and documentation;
Serve as a model for other open source projects.
