We are excited to announce our participation in AIPAD's Photography Show in New York next week. We will be presenting a selection of works by Mario Cresci, John Gossage, Guido Guidi, Gerry Johansson and Francesco Neri.
Our presentation at the fair is brought together under the title, The Insistent Gaze, which we have borrowed from the Italian curator Paolo Costantini. It describes "a gaze that fixes itself on the intricate tangle of signs… without seeking to resolve them into a unified whole.” This approach uses photographic methods as a conceptual tool to explore and revisit recurring signs, considering “the photographic gaze as a privileged form of questioning.”
Mario Cresci (born 1942 in Italy) is a leading figure in Italian photography. Belonging to an avant-garde generation, his experimental photographic work draws inspiration from Pop Art, Conceptual Art, and industrial design. His work focuses on the nature of photographic language, emphasising the importance of method as a tool for exploring the world.
John Gossage (born 1946 in the United States) is widely regarded as one of the finest American photo book makers of the last 40 years. His first monograph, The Pond (1985), has recently been republished to great acclaim and is considered a classic by photographers and educators alike. Gossage's first UK exhibition, From the Garden to the Darkness, is currently on display at the Large Glass gallery in London.
Guido Guidi (born 1941 in Italy) is a pioneer of new Italian landscape photography. Guidi trained as an architect, painter, and draughtsman—and an abiding interest in perspective and modest architectural forms underpins his photographs. For him, photography is autobiographical, and he uses it to capture subtle changes in familiar environments. His retrospective exhibition, Col tempo, 1954–2024, is currently on display at LE BAL in Paris.
Gerry Johansson (born 1945 in Sweden) is one of the country's most renowned photographers. Working primarily in black and white and favouring the square format, he is attracted to the neglected details of urban spaces. He is renowned for his portrayal of quiet small towns around the world, including those in the USA, Sweden, Italy, Japan, Germany and Spain.
Francesco Neri (born 1982 in Italy) focuses his work on the cultivated landscapes around his hometown of Faenza. He challenges an Italian photographic tradition that, in his view, prioritises landscapes over people. By returning to take portraits of farmers and the landscapes they have cultivated over the decades, Neri gains a deeper understanding of his roots and of the changes that he and the agricultural communities have undergone.
