Your Sunday Inspiration ✨

In the studio with Hiroshi Sugimoto ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ Tomorrow we head to Bologna for the opening of Foto/Industria, the Fondazione MAST-organised festival which focuses on the photography of industry and work. This year’s theme, Game, invites artists to explore the implications of gaming’s prominence through the lenses of psychology, architecture, economics, history and politics. The 12-show programme includes Visual Spaces of Today, the first exhibition in Italy by Andreas Gursky, whose pictures of urban infrastructure – ports, factories, power plants – take on a poetic quality, their scale and visual coherence complicating our sense of their influence on society at large, both positive and pernicious. Elsewhere across the city’s 11 venues are visions of work, play and community, old and new. Olivo Barbieri’s Pinball Machines is a wry look at the objects’ influence during the late 1970s, while Hicham Benohoud’s late-1990s project The Classroom saw the artist instruct a class of Marrakech students to act naturally, questioning the purpose of choreography and authenticity. Cécile B Evans also begins with the school, creating a video work where a group of fictitious French students take control of their unstable reality, referencing the plethora of digital worlds we now inhabit. Photographs by Joanna Piotrowska, Cao Fei, Ragnar Kjartansson, Frida Orupabo and an excellent picture and essay-based research board by Elle Pérez caught our attention at Frieze in London this weekend. With the fair concluding today, be sure to check out our extended list of exhibitions around the city for the rest of autumn.
