Friday Oct 2 – Sunday Oct 4 Opening hours: daily 12 - 18 hrs.

Presenting a program of undiscovered photography talent and unseen works by well-known photographers, over 25 galleries from Amsterdam ini'ated a weekend of photography. Supported by Unseen this is a physical answer to digital fairs, all galleries can be visited on the spot throughout the city.

We are pleased to present works by Charlotte Dumas in our drawing cabinet.

Charlotte Dumas’ (born 1977, Lives in Amsterdam) work focuses on series of animals in relation to humans. Among her subjects; Horses working in forests, pulling logs and the funerary horses of Arlington National Cemetery that accompany fallen soldiers to their final resting place. Rescue dogs who, in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, searched day and night for survivors at the Pentagon and World Trade Center. Horses living in the wild, on the fringes of Nevada towns, or on small islands in Japan. The notion that the state of humanity can be read and studied by the way we relate to animals is a vital thread in Charlotte Dumas' work. Her choice of subject relates directly to the way we use, co-exist and define specific animals, assigning various symbolisms as well as our own personal reflections to them.

An extensive solo exhibition titled Bezoar is currently on view at Le Forum at the Fondation Hermès in Tokyo until 29.11.2020. The exhibition is centered around Dumas’ two recent films produced in Japan, Shio ( 2018) and Yorishiro ( 2020) in which two young female protagonists play an important role alongside the horses that live freely on the small Japanese island of Yonaguni. Dumas has been following this subject since 2015.

Her well-known series Retrieved is still on show in her solo exhibition at the 911 Memorial Museum, New York until 31.05.2021In the past Dumas has held numerous solo exhibitions at venues throughout the world, including Chrysler Museum of Art, Norfolk, Virginia (2018), Kunstverein Heilbronn (2018), SieboldHuis, Leiden (2018), Beelden aan Zee, Den Haag (2018), Museum De Pont, Tilburg (2015) The Photographers' Gallery in London (2015), Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC (2012), FO.KU.S., Innsbruck (2010), Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam (2009) among others.
