KAREN KNORR at ENCONTROS DA IMAGEM /International Photography Festival

HAPPINESS, A PLACE IN THE SUN 

CASA ESPERANCA
BRAGA, PORTUGAL

 SEPTEMBER 20 – NOVEMBER 5, 2016

The International Photography Festival ENCONTROS DA IMAGEM returns to the city of Braga to focus on the affective dimension, during a time of tremendous changes and upheavals. Alongside the current technological impulse that questions the limits of the visible, in which the image casts us to even further away places, to where the world is revealed through its most hidden and unexpected aspects, it seemed like the appropriate moment to promote an edition dedicated to the discovery of the other, appealing to the sentimental turn and to the simple and discreet quest for Happiness.

Karen Knorr: India Song at Raas Palace, Jodhpur / India

 6th February– 5th March 2016 

Tasveer is delighted to announce a new partnership with Raas, Jodhpur’s first boutique hotel that reflects in many ways, the Walled City itself.

 Situated in the prestigious north-eastern quarter of Jodhpur, in the very shade of Mehrangarh’s Victory Palace and Gate, and a stone’s throw from the Clock Tower; Raas is comprised of four charismatic buildings in Jodhpur’s very own ‘rose-red’ sandstone. The oldest, the Haveli proper as it were, was built towards the end of the 18th Century and with its delicately carved stone panels — the hall-mark of Rajput architecture — served as the exclusive and intimate residence of the family. The newest, the Baradari, is a multi-pillared, multi-purpose open Pavilion built in the 1850s.

 In these grandiose and historical surroundings, Tasveer will aptly be showing for the first in a series of regular exhibitions, Karen Knorr: India Song.

IN SPRING, IT IS DAWN THAT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL / 春はあけぼの

16th January to 21 February 2016

1 White Conduit St, London N1 9EL

Yukari Sato’s breathtaking contemporary washi surrounds Karen Knorr’s photography from the new series ‘Monogatari’. Each work in combination will contribute to a truly auspicious occasion, a fresh new year’s installation at White conduit projects.

Knorr’s metaphorical photographic works evaluate Today’s Japan, and Sato’s contemporary Washi have arrived as a collaborative presentation heralding the ‘Japanese New Year’. Sato’s awe-inspiring handiwork, shown through Knorr’s feministic viewpoint, expresses an altogether new and sublime view of the world.
