Paris Photo Events in Los Angeles

Jean-Daniel Compain, Senior Vice President Culture & Leisure division, Reed

Expositions France, and Julien Frydman, Director of Paris Photo are pleased

to announce the creation of Paris Photo L.A.

The first edition of Paris Photo L.A will be held in Los Angeles from April

24th to 28th, 2013 and will bring together a selection of 80 international

galleries at the heart of the iconic site of Paramount Pictures Studios in

Hollywood.

Over the past 16 years, Paris Photo has become a milestone player in the

art world today including photography professionals, collectors, artists as

well as a wider audience.

The 2011 edition held for the first time in Paris at the Grand Palais

presented more than 135 exhibitors and attracted over 50,000 visitors.

Based upon this success, Reed Expositions has decided to move forward and

chose Los Angeles as its first site to expand Paris Photo abroad.

Los Angeles is now considered as an international art capital and

definitely the most iconic city of image worldwide. It is home to major

international cultural institutions and considered today as a hub for the

entire art scene, artists, galleries and major collectors.

In this unique creative environment, Los Angeles offers an extremely

promising context confirming the fair's unique position internationally.

Paramount Pictures Studios, who are celebrating their 100th anniversary

this year, is considered the ideal emblematic location to host the first

ever international extension of the fair. Paramount has forged a

significant place in the 20

th and 21st century's cinematic references. In

this unique environment on the West Coast, the fair will continue to

question photography and its connections to the concepts of image.

Paris Photo L.A will bring together all creative trends in photography,

including the avant-garde. The program will be built around cultural events

involving all major actors within the art world (artists, dealers, private

collections, cultural institutions and art enthusiasts).

The full program of Paris Photo L.A will be announced in Fall 2012.

Set Date for Paris: Mexican Suitcase European Tour

The International Center of Photography Launches

Mexican Suitcase European Tour

Exhibition travels to Arles, Barcelona, Madrid, and Paris through 2013

New York, NY (July 7, 2011) — A traveling tour of

The Mexican Suitcase, a groundbreaking exhibition

revealing the most famous group of recovered negatives of the twentieth century, launched July 4 as the

centerpiece of Les Rencontres d’Arles in France. It will Mexican Suitcase European Tourbe on view at Arles until September 18, 2011. The

Arles festival also premiered

The Mexican Suitcase on July 5, a film directed by Trisha Ziff.

Considered lost since 1939, the so-called Mexican Suitcase is in fact three boxes containing 4,500

negatives documenting the Spanish Civil War by Robert Capa, Chim (David Seymour), and Gerda Taro.

There are also several rolls of portraits of Capa and Taro by Fred Stein. Besides offering new images by

these major photographers that provide a comprehensive overview of the war, the cache of negatives

also includes previously unknown portraits of Ernest Hemingway, Federico Garcia Lorca, and Dolores

Ibarruri (known as “La Pasionaria”).

“Capa, Chim, and Taro risked their lives to witness history in the making and show it to the world, and

the Mexican Suitcase contains some of their most important works. Its recovery set in motion a profound

shift in the study of these three photographers,” said ICP Assistant Curator Cynthia Young, who

organized the exhibition, which was on view at ICP’s midtown galleries from September 24, 2010 to May

8, 2011. “The material contained in the Mexican Suitcase documents a turning point in the history of

photojournalism.”

In the process of researching the negatives, the authorship of numerous images by Capa, Chim, and

Taro has been confirmed or reattributed. This material not only provides a uniquely rich and panoramic

view of the Spanish Civil War, a conflict that changed the course of European history, but also

demonstrates how the work of these legendary photographers laid the foundation for modern war

photography. Appearing throughout the international press, their innovative and passionate coverage of

the war was both engaged and partisan. While overtly supporting the antifascist Republican cause, their

dramatic photographs vividly recorded battle sequences as well as the harrowing effects of the war on

civilians.

The exhibition received high praise from reviewers and visitors alike as it provides a glimpse into the

photographic process that few see. As a review of the exhibition in

The New York Times stated, “They

were also committed to a new style of wartime journalism, which found photographers embedding

themselves right in the center of combat and shooting, rapid-fire and up-close, everything around them.

This total immersion, made possible by increasingly hand-held cameras, generated huge numbers of

images. And that’s what you get in this show: hundreds and hundreds of tiny pictures lined up edge to

edge on contact sheets to create a display of a kind that museumgoers rarely encounter but that

photographers see all the time: squint-inducing, unedited, in progress.”

Confirmed venues for the traveling exhibition include:

Art Study Abroad International Program

Paris Study Abroad

Winter 2013

What Is Study Abroad?

Study Abroad gives students the chance to expand their world by traveling outside of the U.S. while earning credit toward their BYU degree. Study Abroad is guided by a BYU professor in the field and offers lectures, study, and research on-site. Field trips to important locations of cultural and historical significance support the program’s academic aim and bring life to theories and principles gained in the classroom.

Through cross-cultural and linguistic immersion in Study Abroad, students gain tools in world learning and are better able to serve in a globalizing world.

Paris

Paris has for centuries been an intellectual and spiritual center of Western Civilization. In the thirteenth century both Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas, the two greatest theologians of the Middle Ages, studied or taught at the Sorbonne, the world's second oldest university. In the seventeenth century Pascal and Descartes, both prominent mathematicians and philosophers, laid foundations for modern thought. A hundred years later, Paris was the center of the Enlightenment, guided by the capable hands of philosophes Voltaire, Diderot, and Rousseau, the latter a transitional figure who also introduced Romantic ideals that in turn sparked the French Revolution. Following the excesses of that tragic time, Paris settled into a more tranqil existence, marked in literature by Stendhal, Balzac, Hugo, and Flaubert, in music by Chopin, and in art by Gericault and Delacroix. The Belle Epoche, which closed the nineteenth century, spawned new notions including artistic Impressionism. Not surprisingly, in the twentieth century, Paris assumed its rightful place as a central forum of intellectual, philosophical, cultural, and political discussion, while, most recently, Parisian thinkers ignited the fires of postmodernism and other modern critical theories.
