Exposition. De Afstand (Distance) 01 septembre 1990 - 07 octobre 1990 Pays-Bas, Rotterdam, Witte de With, center for contemporary art http://www.wdw.nl/wdwplain/afstand.htm

Notes : [ The exhibition De Afstand (Distance) presented "distant," documentary photography by eight artists. In this exhibition, Witte de With sought to contribute to the discussion about the relationship between photography and the visual arts, a theme that was also considered in the exhibitions Walker Evans & Dan Graham (in 1992), Michelangelo Pistoletto e la Fotografia (in 1993) and Allan Sekula - Fish Story (in 1995). Participating artists were: Jean-Marc Bustamante (1952), Paul-Armand Gette (1927), Andreas Gursky (1955), Raoul Hausmann (1886 - 1971), Craigie Horsfield (1949), Jean-Luc Moulène (1955), Thomas Struth (1954), and Christopher Williams (1956). The core of the exhibition consisted of a little known series of landscape photographs by Raoul Hausmann, which were shot between 1927 and 1933 at the coast of the Baltic Sea and the Pommeren region in Germany. These works are pure photographic registrations of nature, that immobilize a momentary state of things. The photographic works by the other artists were grouped around this series. In contrast to Hausmann, however, these contemporary photographers try to produce photographic tableaux. Their landscapes are created in a documentary form that is aimed at keeping a critical distance. source: http://www.wdw.nl/wdwplain/afstand.htm ]
