Naoya Hatakeyama: a book and an exhibition

By eyecurious | Published: 16 December 2011
My most recent trip to Japan in October happily coincided with Naoya Hatakeyama’s first retrospective at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. Regular readers will know that I am a big fan of his work – and there is quite a lot of it – so I was curious to see how this exhibition, entitled [...]

Paris November photo madness round-up

By eyecurious | Published: 1 December 2010
As the eyecurious faithful (and anyone who has been in Paris recently) will have noted, this has been a particularly action-packed month for photography in Paris. As I noted in a previous post, there was a bunch of different events going on at once and, as November draws to a close, I thought I would [...]

Welcoming in 2010

By eyecurious | Published: 1 January 2010
I’ve decided to start 2010 in the best way possible: with a quick photo-based trip to Tokyo (4-11 January). This might mean that eyecurious gets the year off to a bit of a slow start but I’m guaranteed to come back with tons of things to blog about. For those of you who haven’t made [...]

Some things I bought this year

By eyecurious | Published: 17 December 2009
I’ve seen quite a few end of year lists popping up over the last week. There are the best books of 2009 lists, the more eclectic lists of “stuff I liked this year“, the lists of books acquired in 2009 and many more. I think you need to be a breakfast-lunch-and-dinner kind of consumer of [...]

Some more fuel on the photo-book fire

By eyecurious | Published: 9 December 2009
The debate about the future of photo-books is not exactly new, but it’s not dying down either. I’m not sure where this particular strand of the debate started, but in recent days Jörg posted a few provocative thoughts over at Conscientious, which are feeding into a “crowd-sourced” blog post that has been set up by [...]

Naoshima: Paradise on Earth?

By eyecurious | Published: 30 October 2009
For this post, I am allowing myself to stray from our beloved photographic shores, but I assure you that it will be worth it. Last Friday I attended a conference at the Palais de Tokyo given for the opening of the exhibition on the Benesse Art Site Naoshima project. This was a pretty star-studded affair: [...]

Review: Naoya Hatakeyama @ Rencontres d’Arles

By eyecurious | Published: 27 July 2009
As I mentioned in my last post, one of my highlights of this year’s Rencontres d’Arles is Naoya Hatakeyama’s exhibition at Arles’ cloître Saint-Trophime. The exhibition includes two series: Scales, a recent commission for the Canadian Centre for Architecture, and Maquettes / Light, a series of images taken ten years ago but which Hatakeyama has [...]

In this post I will be giving my overall impressions and in the next few days I will follow up with reviews of [...]
