Time Present:
International Photography from the Deutsche Bank Collection Touring Asia
The spectrum ranges from classics such as Bernd and Hilla Becher, Hiroshi Sugimoto, and Jeff Wall to current art photography from the Middle East, Africa, and China: On October 3, 2014, Time Present, the first exhibition from the Deutsche Bank Collection that shows a panorama of international photography form the early 1970s up to the present day, opens at the Singapore Art Museum (SAM). With more than 70 works, Time Present
illustrates the transformation photography has undergone in
contemporary art since the 1970s. The exhibition examines various
formal, conceptual, and performative approaches photographers have
taken to expand the artistic medium. On view are works that investigate
the relationship between photography and time in myriad ways. In
different sections, the show brings together works from four decades
that document the development of the collection and at the same time
touch on fundamental issues of photography.
Time Present illustrates how the focus of the Deutsche Bank Collection has widened since the late 1990s from German photographers, including Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, and Thomas Ruff, to photo artists from Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. In addition to proponents of the Düsseldorf School, artists such as Gerhard Richter and Sigmar Polke, as well as U.S. photographers like Philip-Lorca di Corcia, positions that are devoted to migration, technological change, feminism, and urbanity comprise a focal point of the show. They are joined by women artists such as Dayanita Singh (India), Yto Barrada (Morocco), and Cao Fei (China).
Time Present opens at SAM within the framework of the Singapore International Photography Festival 2014. At the same time, the museum is presenting an exhibition of contemporary Southeast Asian photography from its own collection and Japanese photographic art from 1945 to the present day from the collection of the Yokohama Museum of Art. Time Present will be on show here until mid-January 2015, whereupon it will travel to Mumbai, Tokyo, and Seoul.
