As the new year begins, Blind invites you to rediscover a selection of articles, images exhibited or published, and photographic events that marked the year 2024. Here's part two.
The legendary photographer of the American underground scene is showcasing her latest work at the Gagosian Gallery in New York. Alongside her recent photographs, You Never Did Anything Wrong features two of her “moving” works, projected continuously.
MoMA’s centennial exhibition dedicated to Robert Frank challenges the narrow view of reducing the photographer’s oeuvre to his seminal work, The Americans. The exhibition “Life Dances On: Robert Frank in Dialogue” counters the cult-like focus to spotlight his later works and his lesser-known avant-garde filmmaking career.
Given the rarity of exhibitions and publications on Yasuhiro Ishimoto, photography enthusiasts are eager to flock to Le BAL in Paris to explore the works of this under-recognized American Japanese photographer. The exhibition offers a rich array of images from Japan and the United States, dating to the early career of this pivotal figure in modern Japanese photography.
For the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Saint-Malo (France), the city is exhibiting the photos of Lee Miller, a fashion icon, a surrealist artist and war reporter who covered the siege of the French city of Saint-Malo (Brittany) as close as possible to the fighting. On the occasion of the film also dedicated to her, Blind met Antony Penrose, the son of Lee Miller and director of his mother’s archives.
Famous for his still-life photographs of vegetables, fruits, and flowers from his garden in the South of France, Denis Brihat passed away on December 3rd at the age of 96. Blind pays tribute to this passionate lover of photography with boundless energy.
Delpire and Aperture published the one and only biography of Josef Koudelka. An intimate portrait of the life and work of one of the most renowned photographers.
The Jeu de Paume, an art center and exhibition space in Paris, marks its twentieth anniversary this autumn. It celebrates with two major exhibitions: American photographer Tina Barney is showcased in “Family Ties”, a retrospective that traverses her distinguished career as a portraitist; and “Traveling”, a comprehensive archival exhibition exploring the eclectic oeuvre of Belgian filmmaker, artist, and writer Chantal Akerman.
Vendée Globe: The Images That Shaped the Myth
As the skippers of the Vendée Globe navigate the heart of the Southern Ocean, Blind revisits the photographs that have shaped the myth of this solo, non-stop, unassisted sailing race around the world.
In Paris, the exhibition No Woman’s Land offers a sensitive and insightful look at the lives of Afghan women and girls under Taliban rule since 2021. This collaborative report by Mélissa Cornet and Kiana Hayeri, supported by the Carmignac Foundation, which awarded them its Photojournalism Prize, brings their stories to light.
Blind financially supports the production of visual stories and invites all photographers to submit their portfolios.
