Brazil: encontro - encounter

Patricia Parinejad exhibit architectural photographs of Oscar Niemeyer´s buildings

German-Persian photographer PATRICIA PARINEJAD will exhibit a selection of photographs at the Niteroi's Museum of Contemporary Art, Rio de Janeiro composed in the context of a comprehensive photographic essay of Oscar Niemeyer's buildings during the last five years. Oscar Niemeyer is one of the most renowned architects of our time, whose remarkable lifework can be admired in different countries around the world.

This exhibition "encontro " (encounter) represents a very special occasion since it will actually be held in one of Niemeyer's architectural masterpieces marking the celebration of his 103rd birthday.
The work is represented as Fine Art Prints on Hahnemühle´s Digital FineArt paper William Turner with a water colour structure which confers a special impression to the images.

Patricia Parinejad's work takes a remarkable and unusual view of Niemeyer's architecture. Instead of aiming to achieve a sleek and stylish result focusing on formal structures - as so often is the case in architectural photography - she prefers a more vivid approach focusing affectionately on momentary details but also taking a look at
the building's embeddedness within its natural surroundings and the interaction with people whose presence lend it purpose.
In a clear and almost intimate way, she illustrates the beauty inherent in his weathered but timeless work, revealing their character and unique identity bestowed upon them by the indifferent and sprawling proliferation of the surrounding vegetation and reflected awareness and the feelings induced in the many people who occupy it.

Protective, benign, aging, patient, stoic, dreaming, reaching out to the stars, wise, sometimes a little abashed.
In her own words, she explains why she decided to endeavour on this particular project: "In being the first woman shooting Oscar Niemeyer's buildings I have developed an open, yet intimate and fresh feminine dialogue in my photographic approach. Conceptual - free - sensual and human - investigating forms textures and spaces in

intimate details and close-ups, contexts with nature and human beings, documenting the flow of reflections, light and shadow, visualizing dimensions, reinforcing his own vision and paying tribute to this great central figure of Brazilian architectural modernism and the people of his country."

Parinejad's enchanting photographs demonstrates that great architecture is much more than glass, reinforced concrete, wood and iron, but creates bonds, provides shelter and inspires love.

Exhibition : December 12th 2010 - March 31 st 2011 at Niteroi’s Museum of Contemporary Art, Rio de Janeiro

Italy: Charitable exhibition on Harman by Hahnemühle papers

Haiti, the Melancholy of Shadows by Moises Saman

Hahnemühle took part in a fund raising project in Milan to support the earthquake area of Haiti. Our Milan based partner Shades International printed the charitable exhibition on the new paper portfolio HARMAN by Hahnemühle. "The massive earthquake that leveled most of Port-au-Prince and its surroundings on January 12th was catastrophic even by Haitian standards. In the immediate aftermath, downtown Port-au-Prince became a surreal stage in what resembled a theatre of the macabre", stated photographer Moises Saman. The printed images struck a cord within all the visitors and were sold at the opening on June 16th at Spazio Tadini (Milan). The revenues were forwarded to the Red Cross.

Hahnemühle becomes the First Digital Fine Art Paper in Space

Photography journeys to the International Space Station, sponsored by Hahnemühle

On November 11th 2009, a photograph by Elaine Duigenan was printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® and flown to the International Space Station aboard Shuttle Atlantis. It was then photographed floating in the weightlessness of space, in the window of the Destiny Lab with Earth below.

The London based photographer captures beautiful patterns in nature, which seem to replicate on both micro and cosmic scales. Her images are featured at the V&A Museum, and are printed exclusively on Hahnemühle paper. In her extraordinary work, the photographer focuses on capturing strangely familiar items and transforming them through photography and the making of fine prints; "Small etchings on the side of a derelict building can look like entire swathes of earth from the air."

The chosen image is drawn from the new series, MICRO MUNDI (Small Worlds). In these photographs depicting the trails made when snails eat algae, the captured patterns begin to take on the form of the earth as if photographed from above. This exciting connection is highlighted by the images taken at the Space Station, with the World below.

In their ongoing support of excellence and fine art photography, Hahnemühle are delighted sponsor the unique exhibition which will be exhibited at KLOMPCHING in New York, opening June 17th 2010.

Duigenan comments, "Many people say they love the quality of my photography with its rich blacks, making it akin to an etching. The print is just as important to me as the initial image. Hahnemühle's beautiful fine art papers have the quality, weight and feel to ideally complement the delicacy of my images, so the pairing is ideal."

'Paperworks' by Andreas Kocks in New York

Hahnemühle watercolor paper for space-filling installations

With the ‘Paperworks', the intensity of this kind of art is taken to a completely new level never witnessed before. Andreas Kocks creates these large, spacious installations by carving the surface of thick Cornwall 450 gsm Hahnemühle watercolor paper board.

"The special feature of the Hahnemühle paper is its volume, which allows me to perfectly transform a pictorial gesture into a line and shape, in work confined not by the picture plane but by the space of a room and displaying an outstanding level of physical presence at the same time," underlines the artist. Often, several layers of the paper are flowing on top of each other and into one another. Static surfaces are put into motion, creating a three-dimensional, vivid pictorial space whose surfaces become apparent in light and shadow. Mounted to floor, walls and ceiling and mostly created for the individual location, these installations with their organic dynamics challenge the orthogonal boundaries of the architectural space. The observer is integrated into a perception process embracing his senses, thus inviting him to reconsider his own point of view and enter a dialogue.

Andreas Kocks studied sculpting, in the 1980s, at the ‘Kunstakademie Düsseldorf' and resides in Munich and New York, today. For more information on the artist please visit www.andreaskocks.com.

Notoxico’ International Printmaking Convention and Exhibition in Monterrey, Mexico

This convention was one of the most successful that I have attended in my life! Over a period of 11 days from March 11 –22, 2009 I witnessed an historical paradigm shift from a toxic tradition to a non-toxic contemporary one.

The convention and exhibition were a great introduction to the world of non-toxic contemporary printmaking in Mexico and what was equally important was the 5 days of hands-on workshops that followed. Top artists from Mexico, Ireland, Spain, Argentina, Greece, Poland, Brazil, USA, Chile, Peru, Canada, Italy, Columbia, Russia, France, Holland, Cuba, China, Belgium, New Zealand, El Salvador, Costa Rica, and Puerto Rico were represented in this exhibition. There were over 300 prints across a wide range of printmaking mediums all beautifully framed and exhibited in a gigantic gallery space that once housed a large steel mill and rivals the Tate Modern in London, England.

About 100 artists were privileged to attend these workshops from teachers mainly from Spain with one from Argentina and two from the United States. This series of workshops also introduced participating printmakers to Akua Intaglio Ink a water soluble intaglio ink that was also used successfully with screen printing and relief printmaking. One of the best papers in the printmaking world was sponsored with Mould-made Copperplate (Etching) paper by Hahnemuehle from Germany with help from Atlantic Papers in Pennsylvania in the United States. There were 8 intaglio presses, a professional exposure unit, paper drying racks and screen printing machines all brought in for this event. No expense was saved to provide the workshop experience of a lifetime.

Pedro Meyer - Heresies

An ultimate project

The retrospective of the work of Latin-American photographer Pedro Meyer has attracted worldwide attention. In October 2009, ‘Heresies’ (heresy) was presented simultaneously in 65 museums and highlights the dynamic areas between reality and fiction. For the production of the total of 3,500 images, the company HP provided the most sophisticated Design Jet "Z" series printers. All the pictures were printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag®.The use of pigment ink on pure cotton paper ensures the prints’ durability for 200 years.

The exhibition concept is just as revolutionary as the project’s extent. Famous curators viewed over 300,000 pictures to then come up with a representative selection, resulting in 23 exhibitions featuring different topics. Afterwards, each of the museums involved made its individual choice that was included in the respective museum’s permanent exhibition. Now 65 Museums have work of Pedro Meyer in their permanent collections, all printed on Hahnemühle papers.

Hahnemühle Bamboo – first resource-saving Fine Art paper

For the worldwide launch of the first Fine Art inkjet paper made from bamboo fibres, Hahnemuehle works together with the well-known photographer Justin Guariglia. His internationally sought-after spiritual images from Shaolin Temple in China will be showed around the world in a traveling exhibition and printed on Bamboo’s product green box.

The oldest German art paper mill has succeeded in developing a premium, soft Fine Art paper from ultra-pure bamboo fibres and pure spring water. The natural white paper with a warm tone combines spiritual photography with environmental considerations. This paper opens up a entirely new artistic and spiritual dimension in Fine Art printing. Bamboo 290 is the 23rd paper from the international award-winning Hahnemuehle Digital FineArt Collection and renders the sensual connection between art and paper in a palpable and visible way.

Justin Guariglia on the new paper: “When the Aperture Foundation approached me to create an international traveling exhibition of our book Shaolin: Temple of Zen, I turned to Hahnemuehle for a paper that would reflect the spirit of the project. The Bamboo 290 paper was my immediate first choice. Its beautiful warmth and texture imbues every print with an unsurpassed feeling of intimacy and energy. These qualities allow us to accurately share the sacred and sublime spirit of this fifteen-hundred year old Chinese Zen temple with audiences around the world."

The traveling exhibition “Shaolin: Temple of Zen”, organized by the American Aperture Foundation and supported by Hahnemuehle, will be on tour in the USA and later in Europe from 2008 to 2011. The first stages are Los Angeles, in February and March 2008, and Washington DC from June to September 2008.

Allegories & Macabresques - portrait exhibition by Andrzej Dragan printed on Photo Rag® 460

Allegories & Macabresques is eighteen portraits (2004-2007) introducing David Lynch holding a hen, Mads Mikkelsen watching an embrio of a little cat, Jan Peszek over and old watch or Jerzy Urban with a naked woman and a Cuban cigar. The presented collection is an effect of a struggle of the author with a message of Portugese proverb that says: Those who see faces do not see hearts. It is also a summary of three years of international work.

Opening of the exhibition and vernisage begins at September, 7th 2007, in Lipinski Gallery in Warsaw. It is organised by Reinhold and European Academy of Photography and sponsored by Epson and Hahnemuehle who provide materials and Book & Art preparing the highest quality archival gallery prints ever known. The exhibit will last till September, 28th and in the same time will be shown in Warsaw’s subway gallery. After that it will be shown in Copenhagen, Milan, Cracow and later in Skopie, Tetovo, Poznan, Amsterdam and other galleries across Europe.

“Before choosing Hahnemuehle Photo Rag® 460 I have made several print tests on other professional papers. What persuaded me to use PhotoRag® was the possibility to obtain a great depth of the dark tones - especially with the black & white images. My photographs are usually dark, therefore the quality of the details in the low spectrum is crucial. I have noticed that the prints on Photo Rag® paper do not reveal any reflections of light in the dark areas even when looking from a sharp angle - as other papers do. Black is always uniformly black - from any angle. Therefore the low-key images remain deeply dark while keeping details perfectly visible. This is extremely important if you want to enhance the impact and color dynamics of highly-contrasted photographs”, stated photographer Andrzej Dragan.

“Images that Speak” – Tim Walden teams up with Hahnemuhle

Once a month, a family being served by the pediatric branch of Hospice is invited to Walden’s studio for a portrait sitting. These families receive a meaningful and priceless photograph to cherish. Walden’s relationship with the pediatric branch of Hospice is what makes this program possible and so special to many families.

Tim Walden of Walden’s Photography in Lexington, KY designed the program “Images That Speak.” The program gives beautiful, archival black and white images freely and lovingly to courageous families who care for their children with life-limiting illnesses. Walden started this exclusive program three years ago as a way to give back to the community and to give families in need a memorable gift.

Tim uses Hahnemuhle FineArt Pearl for his images. Hahnemuhle FineArt is proud to be working with Walden and is excited about sponsoring his program and reaching out to the community.

No frontiers - Gill Perres documents the 15th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall on Hahnemühle paper

The photographer of MAGNUM agency, Gilles Peress, one of the leading representatives of socially committed reporters, prepared two photo exhibitions especially for the opening of the C/O Berlin Gallery. In his exhibition entitled “Beyond Borders”, Gilles Peress presented photographs depicting the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 in the form of an interactive photograph and book installation. This series was shown alongside other projects realized in Bosnia in the nineties. On the Potsdam Square, also ten selected motifs related to the fall of the Berlin wall were presented on the authentic fragment of the wall. This multi-faceted, vast exhibition project gained great interest and recognition of both the people of Berlin and foreigners who visited it. This interactive project required active participation of visitors and the result exceeded the boldest expectations:
what remained is hundreds of pages recording personal impressions and memories connected with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. They all made up a large book of photos entitled “The Fall”.

The Hahnemühle FineArt GmbH company supported this project by donating the Digital FineArt Papier Photo Rag 308 paper for high quality photograph printing and a related interactive book publication project.

We support creativity – Hahnemühle paper embarks on a “theatrical career”

“Paper visits the theatre” – under this slogan Hahnemühle FineArt GmbH supported theatrical performances during Gandersheimer Domfestspiele for the first time in 2004. In the health resort of Bad Gandersheim – located close to our company headquarters – the open-air theatre festival has been organized every summer for 46 years. In front of the impressive cathedral, various theatre and recently also opera performances are shown each year.

Hahnemühle also played an important role in them.

Set design and masques were made of the materials donated by our company. During the 2004 season, Hahnemühle paper had its “great show” in the performances of “Parzival” and the „Magic Flute”. Hahnemühle FineArt GmbH will continue to work with the Gandersheimer Domfestspielen, the organizers of the festival, in the years to come.



The Image of Nature – Hahnemühle and the Cheetah Man

“I use Hahnemühle paper in many different ways – not only for original drawings and watercolours but also to publish works. As an artist – sometimes unfortunately – I am a perfectionist and therefore I make more demands on the material used. While searching for a proper base to publish his own, original works of art, an artist encounters many limitations particularly in the case of paper, due to its properties such as colour, resistance and printability. I can easily overcome these limitations with Hahnemühle paper and I hope to plunge into the depths of a “new world” with Hahnemühle.
Matto Barfuss, Artist, Cheetah Man, Visionary
