We are delighted to announce that Rineke Dijkstra’s work Isabel, Berlin, Germany, June 26, 2003, 2012, is now part of the collection of the Collezione Ettore Molinario, Milan, which brings together photography from the origins of the medium to the present day.

Rineke Dijkstra’s work features in Cocktail Prolongé: F. C. Gundlach Special, a group exhibition at the Deichtorhallen Hamburg, as part of the 9th Triennial of Photography Hamburg. Bringing together around 300 works from the collection of influential fashion photographer F.C. Gundlach, the exhibition explores the diverse ways in which corporeality can be staged. With an eye to how the body becomes a medium for the portrayal of roles, fantasies, and desires, as well as for articulating critical demands, the exhibition foregrounds themes of queerness, vulnerability and nonconformity.

Archive Matrix Assembly: The Photography of Thomas Struth 1978–2018 presents the first comprehensive, systematic theory of Thomas Struth’s main body of photographic work from its beginnings in the late 1970s until his most recent work in 2018. The book presents a unique, evolutionary understanding of the work, proposing that it has established three stages of production: archive, matrix, and assembly. Together the three stages form a developmental system that characterizes the individual photographs, their relation to their subject matter, and how they form larger, significant collections of images. The book project accomplishes three main goals: it develops a comprehensive critical reading of the work, it serves as a monograph of the artist, and it provides an extensive analysis of the photographs at all stages, including the less discussed, more recent photography, which is placed on par with the earlier work for which Struth first became internationally renowned.
