High Noon: Nan Goldin, David Armstrong, Mark Morrisroe, Philip-Lorca diCorcia
In the organizer's words:
The exhibition "HIGH NOON" highlights the groundbreaking works of Nan Goldin, David Armstrong, Mark Morrisroe and Philip-Lorca diCorcia. In the political climate of the Reagan era of the 1980s, characterized by conservative values and neoliberalism, these photographers began to capture the life of New York's subculture in intense and often shockingly intimate images.
Having studied photography at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the four photographers began their work in the political fluidity of the Ronald Reagan era. Goldin, Armstrong and Morrisroe were friends and concentrated on the photographic exploration of the subcultural bohemia in Boston and New York, of which they were an integral part. Their diary-like works depict intimate moments of love, friendship and decay against a backdrop of passion, addiction and AIDS. Philip-Lorca diCorcia, who very consciously distances himself from the three photographers, begins by artificially recreating everyday scenes with relatives and friends, ingeniously illuminating and photographing them, thus initially creating ideal archetypes. His work is always based on a precisely defined conceptual approach that plays with the photographic medium as a possible document.
An exhibition of the Haus der Photographie / Deichtorhallen Hamburg as a guest at the Stadtgalerie Kiel, curated by Dr. Sabine Schnakenberg. The show presents around 150 works from the F.C. Gundlach collection, which continue to have an impact today - both on the art world and on society's perception of sexuality, relationships and identity.
