The exhibition of renowned Austrian photographer\u00a0Manfred Willmann<\/strong>\u00a0opens on\u00a026th<\/sup>\u00a0September<\/strong>, at the\u00a0Spot Gallery<\/strong>\u00a0of the\u00a0Office for Photography<\/strong>\u00a0in Zagreb. Celebrating the 70th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary of the artist\u2019s birth, alongside a selection of works from his most noteworthy series \u201cSchwarz und Gold\u201d (1979\u20131981), \u201cDie Welt ist sch\u00f6n\u201d (1981\u20131983), \u201cDas Land\u201d (1981\u20131993) and \u201cF\u00fcr Christine\u201d (1984\u20131988), the exhibition will also showcase a selection of his more recent pieces. Willmann\u2019s photography is marked by candour and readily understandable content, as well as documentarist research. In the words of Albert Goldstein, he reveals that which we already know without giving in to pathos, his photographs raising a series of questions about ethics and the terms of our existence, and demonstrating that the grand topics in life may just as brilliantly be rendered in \u201csmall\u201d forms.<\/p>\n

Willmann\u2019s exhibition is also a chance to look back on his 1981 solo exhibition at the Arhiv TD Gallery, an exposition space for the promotion and research of contemporary photography that was run by Petar Dabac in Ilica 17 in Zagreb. At the time, Willmann\u2019s work was addressed by writer, poet and translator Albert Goldstein, whose text will be reprinted on this occasion. This will be an opportunity to reflect on the important period when \u2013 in the context of Forum Stadtpark artists\u2019 association \u2013\u00a0Camera Austria<\/em>\u00a0first initiated its activities, which Willmann founded together with Christine Frisinghelli and Seiichi Furuya, with the aim of promoting contemporary photography as a discursive field and a vital force in the comprehensive development of culture. The cooperation of art organizations from Graz and Zagreb and the fact that they belong to a similar photographic and intellectual circle has been one of the incentives for the recent research and historicization of events in the field of contemporary photography.<\/p>\n
