Symposium Artist Complex. Images of Artists in Photography

Panel

Keynote speaker: Prof. Dr. Bettina Gockel, Institute of Art History, University of Zurich
Concept and organization: Jadwiga Kamola, Berlin State Museums

The symposium, which accompanies the exhibition Artist Complex. Photographic Portraits from Baselitz to Warhol. Platen Collection, analyzes photographic portraits of artists in the twentieth century. Under the umbrella term of an “artist complex” we hope to develop new theoretical approaches to portraits of artists. The psychological term of the “complex” is understood as a central driving force, which determines our thoughts and actions, and which, so we argue, materializes in the moment of the photographic exposure. In this sense, the “artist complex” replicates and re-stages historically and culturally constructed ideas of an “artist”.

FOTOFINISH Photography’s Triumph as an Autonomous Art Form

Book presentation & Discussion

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of its Art Collection, DZ BANK has published the catalog "FOTOFINISH. Photography‘s Triumph as an Autonomous Art Form" (2018) by Snoeck-Verlag in Cologne, offering a current overview of this exceptional corporate collection, encompassing works by Richard Avedon, Sibylle Bergemann, Viktoria Binschtok, Jan Paul Evers, Nan Goldin, Raphael Hefti, Louise Lawler, Thomas Ruff, Piotr Uklanski, Cindy Shermann, Andy Warhol, and many others. As an artistic medium, photography has undergone sweeping changes over the last 50 years and has achieved impressive success. Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, photography’s ascent to the Mount Olympus of art has been extraordinary, making it
the most important visual medium of our time. Yet there are questions that have remained relevant since the inception of the medium. Under what conditions can photography be considered art? What qualities set photography apart from other artistic media? What questions does the photographic medium raise? And what visual languages, concepts, and strategies have
artists developed in recent years?

In a discussion moderated by Julia Voss, Christina Leber, Head of the DZ BANK Art Collection; Kathrin Schönegg and Steffen Siegel, two of the authors of the new catalog; and Felix Hoffmann, Chief Curator of the C/O Berlin Foundation, will talk about contemporary artistic photography at the intersection with other artistic genres and in the context of conceptual approaches.
