	SVEN Peter de Ru's Photographic Works Project Directors: Rongrong & Inri Curator: Mao Weidong Assistant: Zhong Linchun Opening: March 9, 2013, Saturday, 3:30 p.m. Artist Talk: March 10, 2013, Saturday, 2:00 p.m. Duration: March 9 - April 6, 2013 10:00 am to 6:00 pm (Closed on Mondays) Location: Three Shadows Photography Art Centre No 155A Caochangdi, Beijing, China Tel: +86 10 6432 2663
	When leafing through Peter de Ru’s catalog Sven, the photograph that makes the deepest impression features nothing more than a few pictures placed on a table; it is a picture of pictures. These pictures are very old, portraits made with early photographic processes and classic 1950s group photos, but we cannot see the new photos behind them. Time has stopped at that point. Although there is a clock on the table, the time has clearly stopped. The pictures solidify time, and that solidified time also exists outside of time through this photograph. The information carried in a photograph is inconsistent with the feelings and reflections of the viewer transmitted by the photograph. The motivations are completely different for different viewers. The viewer’s feelings about a picture, whether good or bad, strong or weak, come from the photograph itself and do not exist outside the photograph. Pictures arouse emotion in viewers and produce a desire for further understanding.

	New Irish Landscapes Opening: Saturday, March 16, 2013, 14:30 Duration: March16 to March 31, 2013 Open 10:00 to 18:00, Tuesday through Sunday Location: Three Shadows Photography Art Centre No. 155A Caochangdi, Chaoyang district Beijing 100015 Participating Artists: Anthony Haughey, David Farrell, Varvara Shavrova, Patrick Hogan Curator: Tanya Kiang, The Gallery of Photography, Ireland Coordinator: Jillian Schultz, Three Shadows Photography Art Centre Supporters: Culture Ireland The Irish Embassy in Beijing Dublin City Council The Arts Council The Gallery of Photography
	“New Irish Landscapes” presents the insights of a new generation of Irish artists in a specially curated exhibition in collaboration with The Gallery of Photography. This important show encompasses economic, political, rural and metropolitan perspectives on contemporary Ireland. Taken together, the work on display builds a powerful portrait of the complex forces shaping Irish society today. Anthony Haughey explores how the collapse of the Celtic Tiger economy has impacted on the landscape. Through Haughey’s lens, the “ghost estates” are recast as eerie “monuments”. With clear relevance in the Chinese context, the work is a testament to the end of Ireland’s gold rush and the resulting cost of unregulated growth. David Farrell takes on a political reading of the landscape. Over a period of more than a decade, Farrell has recorded the sites of searches for the bodies of those “disappeared” by the Republican movement during the conflict in Northern Ireland. Re-visiting these remote areas Farrell records how nature has begun to subsume all traces of the searches that have taken place there. Patrick Hogan’s partly autobiographical project presents an intimate view of his everyday encounters and surroundings in rural County Tipperary. His compelling, psychologically charged images convey a sense of uncertain anticipation. Though modest and focused in geographical scope, Hogan’s powerful work explores expansive existential themes of love, fragility, decay and loss. Varvara Shavrova adopts the visual language of today’s mobile, urban population to explore the recently twinned cities of Dublin and Beijing. Her ongoing project, Windows on Two Cities contrasts the public life of the street and the private worlds glimpsed through windows. Celebrating the dynamism and diversity of metropolitan life, Shavrova’s work is a human scaled response to the globalization of the urban experience. Related Programming: A public talk about the work in “New Irish Landscapes” will take place at Three Shadows Photography Art Centre on Saturday, March 16th at 13:30. Speakers include artists Anthony Haughey, Patrick Hogan and Varvara Shavrova and curator Tanya Kiang.

	"Dynamic Composition and Telling Stories" Workshop with ICP Instructor Anja Hitzenberger Location: Three Shadows Photography Art Centre Caochangdi 155A Beijing China Date: April 20th – April 28th 2013 10:00a.m - 5:00p.m 9 days total, 6 days of class and 3 days for free shooting Tuition: 3000CNY Only 15 slots available
	International Center of Photography Instructor Anja Hitzenberger returns to Three Shadows to teach a new course! This class is for students who want to create dynamic compositions and want to tell personal stories with their pictures. The first part of the class will concentrate on learning how to see photographically and to become more aware of various surroundings, by concentrating on the shapes, lines, movement, light, shadow, and color in the environment. The second part will be about developing strategies for building sequenced stories, and students are free to choose between documentary, conceptual or multimedia projects. Through critique, we learn how to create dynamic photographs with an emotional message and the elements needed to tell a story. We discuss compositional tools, aesthetic intentions, and effective editing. A comparative study of historical and contemporary photographers and filmmakers, from documentary to conceptual, is presented. Customized assignments fit each student's project. Students should bring their cameras to class, card readers and also their laptops, if they have one. Anja Hitzenberger Bio Anja Hitzenberger is a photographer, filmmaker and video artist whose work focuses on the body and its relationship to architecture and space. She has received numerous grants, commissions and residencies for her work from the Austrian government and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council (New York).

	New Framework: Chinese Avant-garde Photography 1980s-90s Curator: RongRong Featured artists: Ai Wei Wei, Gu Zheng, Han Lei, Hong Lei, Jiang Zhi, Liu Zheng, Mo Yi, Qiu Zhijie, Zhang Haier, Zhao Liang, Zheng Guogu, Rong Rong Exhibition date: 12 May - 22 June 2013
	Curated by artist and curator RongRong, the exhibition showcases the major styles and evolving facets of Chinese avant-garde photography from the 1980s to 90s by 12 artists: Ai Wei Wei, Gu Zheng, Han Lei, Hong Lei, Jiang Zhi, Liu Zheng, Mo Yi, Qiu Zhijie, Zhang Haier, Zhao Liang, Zheng Guogu and RongRong, when Chinese photography developed through the key stages of “New Documentary” photography, conceptual photography and experimental photography. The exhibition title “New Framework” denotes how these Chinese photographers used the medium to establish a new visual framework outside of the academia and institutions, and to create artworks that resonate with experimentalism. Curator RongRong voyaged into experimental photography in the 1990s and was an active presence in the East Village, the cradle of Chinese experimental art. In the mid-1990s, RongRong co-founded the New Photo magazine, the first independent conceptual photography magazine in China, with Liu Zheng. Most of the works featured in this exhibition were published in New Photo, and they are among the most influential photographic works in the history of contemporary Chinese art to this day. The show will take place at both Blindspot Gallery (Central) and Blindspot Annex (Wong Chuk Hang).
