What are young photographers up to in the twenty-first century? How do they see the world? How much do they respect, build on, or reject tradition? As the digital revolution continues its relentless advance, demolishing longstanding practices in every domain of our field, curiosity builds as to how the new generation of photographers will react. Will some remain in the darkroom, or will they all migrate to the digital lab? The reGeneration project – the broadest and most enterprising survey of its kind – set out in 2005 to discover answers to these intriguing questions, previewing the work of young photographers who may well emerge as some of the finest artists of their generation. Following on from the success of this exhibition shown in ten different cities across North America, Europe and Asia, this second edition turns the spotlight on up-and-coming talents from 30 countries. Curators at the Musée de l’Elysée in Lausanne selected the most promising candidates from some 700 entries submitted by 120 of the world’s top photography schools. reGeneration2 showcases the inspiring creativity and ingenuity of 80 photographers about to begin a career. Together, they represent 48 photography and art schools from 25 different countries. The resulting exhibition reveals the flexibility of young photographers as they pass fluidly from one genre to another, and/or one technique to another. Impressive also is their mobility, as a European studies in China, a Japanese studies in the US, and a Peruvian in Europe. These youthful practitioners of extraordinary talent are already well on their way to making their mark. ]]> Extramural Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:30:00 +0200 LACOSTE ELYSEE PRIZE '10 http://www.elysee.ch/no_cache/en/exhibitions/detail/article/lacoste-elysee-prize-10/ At the occasion of the exhibition reGeneration 2: Tomorrow’s Photographers Today, LACOSTE launches,...

Unframed Co-produced by the Musée de l'Elysée and the Festival Images, Unframed is an unprecedented urban project created for the city of Vevey, with images from the collection of the Musée de l'Elysée. The urban installations shown mark a new artistic direction in JR’s career who appropriates the images from the collections of the Musée de l’Elysée: the works of great photographers and anonymous authors become the material of his performances. JR immersed himself in these collections to bring a new approach and change the context of some major icons in the history of photography including the work of Robert Capa, Man Ray, Gilles Caron, Helen Levitt, Mario Giacomelli, Lucia Moholy, John Phillips and Sebastião Salgado. He then displays reproductions of these icons on facades which serve as ‘an exhibition space’. The city transforms itself into a giant open air museum. The images, keeping their references, even if they are used in a totally different way, take on a new meaning. Their inclusion in the public space gives a new meaning to their reading. The visitor, with a sense of déjà vu, can discover on a street corner the strength of JR’s work.

JR (France, *1984)

French artist, JR has undertaken projects for monumental urban performances. In 2007, Face2Face illegally presented huge portraits of Israelis and Palestinians on both sides of the separation wall / security fence in Jerusalem. In 2008, he joined an international trip for Women Are Heroes, a project in which he emphasized the dignity of women. In 2010, the eponymous feature film competed for the Caméra d'Or at Cannes. JR has notably exhibited his work in Paris, London, Amsterdam, Arles, Berlin, Los Angeles and New York. www.jr-art.net ]]> Parallell Mon, 30 Aug 2010 15:26:00 +0200 Gilles Caron.

A la suite de l’exposition consacrée à l’éditeur Steidl, le Musée de l’Elysée poursuit son exploration du lien entre la photographie et l’imprimé. Le projet « Bernd & Hilla Becher – Imprimés 1964-2010 » propose un autre regard sur l’œuvre de deux artistes majeurs du 20e siècle. Le travail méti-culeux d’Antoine de Beaupré, commissaire de l’exposition, a permis de réunir l’ensemble des im-primés – livres, catalogues, éditions limitées, brochures, cartons d’invitation, affiches, etc. – consa-crés aux Becher. Leurs publications ont en effet joué un rôle considérable dans l’émergence de leur œuvre et la structuration de l’esthétique à laquelle leur nom est attaché. L’ensemble de ces publications permet de mesurer le chemin parcouru depuis les premières années de leur travail photographique commun à la fin des années 1950, jusqu’à l’obtention du Grand Prix de sculpture de la Biennale de Venise en 1990.
L’exposition « Bernd & Hilla Becher – Imprimés 1964-2010 » s’inscrit en décalage en ne présen-tant aucune photographie (à l’exception de l’édition limitée du catalogue « Industriebaute », 1968, contenant 10 tirages) pour se concentrer sur la manière dont les artistes mirent en page – en scène  – la représentation de leur œuvre.
