Heinrich Kuehn and His American Circle: Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen
This is the first New York museum show to focus on Heinrich Kuehn (1866-1944), an often overlooked but central figure in turn-of-the-century art circles, whose photographs were exhibited at the Vienna Secession. Born into a wealthy family in Dresden, Kuehn was a member of Vienna’s Camera Club and strove to elevate photography to an art form.

Heinrich Kuehn and His American Circle: Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen features over 100 photographs by Kuehn and also works by Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946) and Edward Steichen (1879-1973). Under the influence of the American photographers, Kuehn shifted from making large landscapes taken under dramatic lighting conditions and focused more on scenes of daily life shot under normal light. He also began creating intimate studio and open-air studies of family and close friends, frequently photographed using clothes especially made for these occasions.

This application includes audio that features interviews with the exhibition’s curator, Monika Faber, director of the Photoinstitut Bonartes, and commentary from the director of the Neue Galerie New York, Renée Price.

 A l’occasion de l’exposition « Cima da Conegliano, Maître de la Renaissance vénitienne » le musée du Luxembourg vous propose une visite guidée sur iPhone et iPod Touch.

Découvrez l’œuvre et le destin hors du commun de Giovanni Battista Cima (1459 – 1517) dit Cima da Conegliano. Ce jeune provincial parvient à s’imposer à Venise comme un maître réputé en dépit de la concurrence qui fait rage dans la cité lagunaire où des dynasties de peintres, comme celles des Bellini, sont déjà bien implantées.

Une sélection de 19 chefs-d’œuvre commentés vous permet de découvrir la variété de la production de Cima da Conegliano et la singularité de son univers pictural.

 A travers des œuvres majeures, l’exposition met en avant les rapports que les artistes entretiennent avec les animaux. Depuis la Renaissance, les plus grands peintres et sculpteurs n’ont cessé d’observer les animaux et de les représenter avec toute l’exactitude possible. Ces œuvres traduisent toute notre fascination et notre curiosité pour un monde qui n’a pas fini de livrer sa diversité.

Cette application, compatible sur les appareils Androïd, vous fera pénétrer dans un univers sauvage à travers 35 commentaires disponibles en français.

This is the first time in Israel that a museum has organized a major exhibition of Jewish feminist art by women who come from a traditional Jewish background.

Jewish Feminist art shares its themes with feminist art in general. Usually these are familiar subjects, such as power and oppression, body image, women as periphery, object-subject, blood and menstruation, and so on. Feminist Jewish works deal with subjects unique to the Jewish experience: niddah and immersion, hair covering, halakhic questions such as the problem of the agunah or halakhic infertility, women's prayer, and women in the study hall.

These artists are informed by feminist art and gender discourse but also by traditional Judaism. They actively reexamine and reconstruct the tradition, while placing it in a critical yet constructive light.

Among the group of talented artists from Israel, North America and Europe the exhibition will showcase two well-known American artists who were pioneers in the field. Helène Aylon (b. 1931) will travel from New York to install her show. Helène is a prominent eco-feminist and in the 80s was involved in environmental activism. In the 90s she turned a feminist eye on to God and the Torah and she will exhibit three installations at Ein Harod. Mierle Laderman-Ukeles (b. 1939) is well known for her Maintenance art of the 70s. In 1969 she wrote Manifesto for Maintenance Art that questioned binary systems of opposition that articulate differences between art/life, nature/culture, and public/private. The manifesto proposed undoing boundaries that separate the maintenance of everyday life from the role of an artist in society. In 1977 she first performed Mikva dreams- A Performance part of Maintenance Art Tales at Franklin Furnace, New York. She will be showing two prints from the performance.

Matronita invites the viewer to reflect on the complexities of the feminist Jewish experience as the artists work at reconciling Jewish law and feminism.
