Interventions: Four Approaches to Contemporary Photography

January 10, 1995 - February 5, 1995

This exhibition presented four contemporary artists who “intervene” in the traditional notion of the photographic process. In doing so, the artists addressed a variety of issues, including those relating to the tension between appropriation and originality; photography and the so-called “fine arts”—painting and sculpture; the hand-made and the reproduction; as well as documentation and decoration.

ARTISTS
Gary Brotmeyer, Carl Goldhagen, Paul Laster, Davide Mosconi

SELECTED WORKS FROM THE EXHIBITION

Founded in 1994, Ubu Gallery has presented almost 100 exhibitions of 20th Century avant-garde art, with an emphasis on the inter-war period of the 1920s-1930s, particularly the Dada, Surrealist, and Constructivist movements. Ubu exhibits paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, and ephemera (books, posters, graphic design, etc.) and, wherever possible, highlights the interrelationships among these art forms.

Ubu Gallery is a well-known presence on the international cultural scene and enjoys a worldwide reputation for its serious explorations of areas covered by few other galleries, including acclaimed survey exhibitions of Polish, Romanian and Czech avant-garde art. Ubu’s focus on the avant-garde, particularly on historically important artists and movements that have not received appropriate attention, has earned the gallery frequent reviews in press throughout the world focused on the visual arts. Ubu participates in the most important Parisian art fair, FIAC, held annually in the Grand Palais (2010-2016), and has participated significantly in Art Basel (2003–2011) and the encyclopedic Frieze Masters fair (2012–2015) showcasing the best of antiquities to modern art, in Regent's Park in London.
