AAP-LAB: THE SILVER HANDS OF PETER SVENSON
November 27, 2010 / February 27, 2011
Huis Marseille pays tribute to analog photography by dedicating an exhibition to the character and work of master printer Peter Svenson of Aap-Lab. For more than thirty years, Svenson has been a mainstay to famous photographers as well as some who have just begun their careers. In his hands their photographs become more than nice pictures: they become works of art. Over the past ten years, most amateurs and professional photographers have given up the roll of film and switched to megapixels. Nevertheless, a remarkable international development is on the rise, as many photographers, who carry out their professional work digitally, have chosen to do more personal work on film due to the craft and the unexpected aspects that it involves. Although the computer offers unlimited possibilities for the perfection of a photograph, many photographers prefer instead to seek the limits of the medium. Within that process Peter Svenson can be a crucial link. He interprets the image in his own way, and the resulting dialogue with the photographer almost always leads to an authentic, transparent and complex image.
With photographs by: Taco Anema / Daniëlle van Ark / Dik Bouwhuis / Popel Coumou / Rineke Dijkstra / Jacqueline Hassink / Scarlett Hooft Graafland / Eva-Fiore Kovacovsky / Marrigje de Maar / Charlott Markus / Katja Mater / Dorothée Meyer / Rob Nypels / Paulien Oltheten / Liza May Post / Public Space without a Roof / Carolin Reichert / Han Singels / Antoinette Nausikaä / Marianne Viero / Vincent Zedelius and many others
Auction
In mid February 2011 the prints from the exhibition will be auctioned off for the benefit of Aap-Lab. Keep an eye on our website for the dates and additional information.
