ISEA2020 will be fully dedicated to examining the resurgence of sentience—feeling-sensing-making sense—in recent art and design, media studies, science and technology studies, philosophy, anthropology, history of science and the natural scientific realm—notably biology, neuroscience and computing. We ask: why sentience? Why and how does sentience matter? Why have artists and scholars become interested in sensing and feeling beyond, with and around our strictly human bodies and selves? Why has this notion been brought to the fore in an array of disciplines in the 21st century?

Wat maakt kunst noodzaak? Volgens Mieke Bal is het ‘zinvol, zelfs noodzakelijk, om vanuit kunst naar de wereld te kijken.’ Daar raakt haar zienswijze aan gastcurator Jeroen Lutters’ methode Art-Based Learning, waarin hij het leren niet over maar van kunst bepleit. Kunst wakkert je verbeelding aan en maakt nieuwe mogelijkheden denkbaar. Kunst uit noodzaak geeft een overzicht van haar belangrijkste video-installaties, gecombineerd met werk uit onze collectie van onder anderen Ronald Ophuis, Martine Stig en Armando.

Het Nederlands Fotomuseum presenteert vanaf 2 oktober 2020 de Somfy Photography Award (SPA) 2020 met nieuw werk van negen genomineerde fotografen uit binnen- en buitenland: Roderik Henderson (NL), Géraldine Jeanjean (NL), Stephan Keppel (NL), Matthieu Litt (B), Antoinette Nausikaã (NL), Martine Stig (NL), Dustin Thierry (NL), Maarten Tromp (NL) en Jordi Ruiz Cirera (UK/Mex).

We leven in een tijd van sterk individualisme. Een tijd waarin de maakbaarheid van ons menselijke bestaan binnen ons bereik lijkt. Onze samenleving is gericht op ontwikkeling van ‘het zelf’. Denk aan de zegentocht van social media en zelfhulpboeken die niet aan te slepen zijn. Succes is maakbaar en vooral intern te vinden. Graaf diep in jezelf en je leert jezelf kennen. Zoals Plato zei: ‘de essentie van alle kennis is zelfkennis.’ We zijn ervan overtuigd dat de weg naar geluk de weg van zelfontplooiing is. Het ‘wij versus de ander’ lijkt de basis van ons bestaan. Met werk van o.a. : Francis Alys, Melanie Bonajo, Koos Breukel, Charlotte Dumas, Martine Stig, Dustin Thierry.

Generation Z. Tijdens het Noorderlicht Internationaal Fotofestival 2020 staan het denkkader en de energie van de jongste generatie wereldburgers centraal: generatie Z. Hoe gaan zij om met hun dystopische toekomstperspectief? Hun emoties zijn wensbron en sinkhole tegelijk, leidend tot groots en meeslepend activisme maar ook tot veranderende levenshoudingen die onder de radar blijven. Door in te boren op de hopen en angsten van generatie Z wil Noorderlicht hun jongvolwassen leefwereld inzichtelijk maken en spiegelen aan die van voorgaande generaties. Curator: Robert-Jan Verhagen. Participants: (a.o.) Elena Aya Bundurakis (GR) | Ine Lamers (NL) | Lavinia Xausa (IT) | Madeline Swainhart (VS) | Marie Lukasiewicz (FR) | Martine Stig (NL) | Massimiliano Rossetto (CH) | Amal Alhaag (NL) &amp; Nadine Stijns (NL) | Nael Quraishi (GB) | Oktawian Jurczykowski (PL) | Oliver Ressler (AT) | Ra Solaris (PL) | Sebastian Steveniers (BE) | Sydney Rahimtoola (VS) | Tanya Klimovich (RU) | Tasio Bidegain (ES/FR) | Verena Blok (NL) | Victor Naumovski (MK) | Sheng-Wen Lo (TW) | Pilvi Takala (FI)

Through the Lens is een groepstentoonstelling met werk van fotografen uit de ABN AMRO-kunstcollectie die hun blik richten op de mens. Wat deze fotografen met elkaar verbindt, is hun onbevooroordeelde belangstelling voor ‘de ander’. Met werk van Ed van der Elsken, Dana Lixenberg en Roy Villevoye, Celine van Balen, Martine Stig en Viviane Sassen.

Tijdens Art Rotterdam Week gaat cabaretier en fotografieliefhebber Diederik van Vleuten in gesprek met de negen genomineerden van de Somfy Photography Award. Deze tweejaarlijkse internationale fotografieprijs biedt professionele fotografen de gelegenheid om nieuw werk te maken met het thema “Gimme Shelter’’. De award wordt op 2 oktober 2020 uitgereikt, maar nu al zijn ze druk bezig met het realiseren van hun ingediende fotografieprojecten. Hoe gaat het met ze? Hoe vordert hun werk? En wat zijn ze aan het maken? In een dynamisch gesprek vertellen de negen fotografen Roderik Henderson (NL), Géraldine Jeanjean (NL), Stephan Keppel (NL), Mattieu Litt (BE), Antoinette Nausikaã (NL), Martine Stig (NL), Dustin Thierry (NL), Maarten Tromp (NL), Jordi Ruiz Cirera (UK/MEX) over hun projecten.

Traveling versus Traveling brings together works around the idea of ​​"displacement" in a broad sense: the movement of the camera through the technique of traveling or that of men through their movements or migrations. It can also be the movement of the visitor's gaze wandering from one room to another, immersed in a reflection in images on the link between art, cinema and news. The photographs of Martine Stig (Netherlands) and Eleonora Strano (France) will forge links between the different chambers. Each in their own way, they bring to light the cinematographic character of real life.

During the Donkere Kamer in Paris on November 8, 2019, the nine photographers nominated for the Somfy Photography Award 2020 (SPA) were announced. They are: Roderik Henderson (NL);Géraldine Jeanjean (NL); Stephan Keppel (NL); Matthieu Litt (B); Antoinette Nausikaä (NL); Martine Stig (NL); Dustin Thierry (NL); Maarten Tromp (NL); Jordi Ruiz Cirera (UK/Mex). During the coming months they will be given the opportunity to qualify for the first prize or the second prize of the SPA 2020 by creating new work within the theme ‘Gimme Shelter’. At the beginning of October next year, this new work will be exhibited, and the winners will be announced.

For the occasion of Art Rotterdam We Like Art invited me to make a special edition. I show two 'Study for Profiles', part of a long term project Vertigo. In Profiles I try to redefine the human profile in a 360˚ world.

The bigger the city, the higher the buildings. The higher the buildings, the longer the lines. Lines are forming grids and the grids are making patterns. Silhouettes are silhouetted against the patterns. Anonymous forms. Are you watching or are you being watched? Are your eyes drawing new lines? Up on the buildings? Or does your stature stand out against the city?

In this (post)digital era new imaging technologies call the very concept of ‘being human’ into question. In which ways will ‘machine vision’ influence our worldview? What is 'seeing' and where is it located? Can we imagine how nonhumans like plants, stones or bacteria ‘see’ their surroundings? The symposium presents lectures, visual case-studies and conversations by artists and researchers who will present works and ideas related to 'Seeing without a Seer'. With: Alena Alexandrova (BG/ NL), Basje Boer (NL), Marjolijn Dijkman (BE), Hiryczuk/ Van Oevelen (FR/ NL), Steven Humblet (BE), Toril Johannessen (NO), Adam Loughnane (CA), Tuula Närhinen (FI), Henk Oosterling (NL), Ali Shobeiri (IR), Martine Stig (NL), Frank van der Stok (NL)

In the context of an ongoing research programme the art cooperative Radical Reversibility organizes, in collaboration with Looiersgracht 60, the exhibition and symposium Seeing without a Seer. The programme is set up as a cooperative, imaginative and speculative exercise to grasp what is at stake in the act of seeing. Seeing without a Seer explores alternative ways of looking, thinking and image-making that evade the central position of the viewer.

The Gallery Club is a platform for photography, organized around exhibitions, dinners and events. Every edition of The Gallery Club explores the work of a wide range of Dutch and international photographers through a different theme.

Prognostics lecture series inquires into the future of art by taking a closer look at the new languages, models and forms that the latest generation of artists are creating in response to the urgent questions arising today in the domains of art, politics and sociology.

Radical Reversibility (RR) is a practice and research-based art cooperative founded by artist Martine Stig, artists duo Hiryczuk/ Van Oevelen and independent curator Frank van der Stok. The RR cooperative aims to investigate and develop visual and conceptual strategies that radically reverse the paradigms of our current visual culture.

Despite its matter-of-fact appearance, Martine Stig’s Noir is a rather offbeat photobook. A quote from Jacques Aumont’s Montage Eisenstein (1987), about Sergei Eisenstein’s art of montage, is printed on the spine of the small, canary-yellow paperback: “The essence of cinema,” Eisenstein wrote, “does not lie in the images, but in the relation between the images.” This seems to be an instruction for how to read this book as well as a source of inspiration for its edit, carried out by Stig in collaboration with book designer Hans Gremmen.

Open Set Lab is a new research programme on the intersection between design, film, art and the humanities. The Lab runs from September 2017 until January 2018 and consists of lectures, interactive real-time sessions, and group critiques led by notable Dutch and international figures in design, art, and research. The programme provides a unique opportunity to fully access one of the largest audiovisual archives in Europe: the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision (television, radio, music, documentary films), containing factual and fictional narratives from 1898 to the present. With a.o.: James Bridle (UK)3 — artist and writer, Catalogtree (NL)5 — multidisciplinary design studio, Annet Dekker (NL)6 — researcher and curator, Johan Grimonprez (BE)8 — multimedia artist, filmmaker, !Mediengruppe Bitnik (DE/CH)12 — art group, Martine Stig (NL)13 — visual artist

In Van kasteel tot station maak je een korte wandeling door de geschiedenis. In twee zalen zie je bijzondere voorwerpen, documenten, schilderijen en foto’s die samen het verhaal van Breda vertellen. De geschiedenis van de vestingstad die uitgroeide tot verbindingsstad wordt weerspiegeld in de rijke collectie. In opdracht van het Stedelijk Museum maakte ik een film over het nieuwe station van de stad.

This summer museum Jan Cunen shows the highlights from it's collection.

Op woensdagavond 22 februari vindt de elfde editie van de talkshow De Donkere Kamer Rotterdam plaats. In De Donkere Kamer Rotterdam staat de fotografie van nu centraal. De avond bestaat uit korte interviews en actuele discussies over fotografie en er is aandacht voor interessante evenementen en tentoonstellingen.

Next year leading Dutch art journal Kunstschrift celebrates its 40th anniversary – good reason for Kunsthal KAdE to join with the magazine in mounting an exhibition about the fascinating ways by which works of art have been created over the centuries. The creative process has been a strong focus of editorial attention in Kunstschrift’s theme issues for many years. The exhibition will reflect that interest by presenting an amazing range of artworks that throw particular light on materials and techniques, craftsmanship, ideation and studio practice.

<p>"A paper glass + a girl’s back. A roof shade + a hand on a handrail + a sign on a ground. A girl looking down + a bag in a hand + the tops of buildings + a man lying on a ground. Even if the photographic subjects look simple, to identify them through words seems almost impossible. Monosyllabic naming doesn’t work either. Photographs, like cinematic shots do not resemble words nor sentences.” — Daria Tuminas, excerpt of ‘Eye + Water =’, a text written alongside the publication ‘Noir’.</p>

"Zo is daar het nieuwe boek Noir van Martine Stig, dat sinds ik het op Offprint kocht, op mijn bureau ligt te branden. Een mooi vervolg op haar fantastische boek Cauchy Horizons. Ik weet het zelf nog niet helemaal te plaatsen, het lijkt klinischer dan eerder werk, maar blijft uitnodigen tot herlezen. Naast de andere boeken die Flip Bool selecteerde, van G.P. Fieret, Celine van de Boorn en Anne Geene & Arjen de Nooy kijk ik toch meer naar het ontwerp van het boek dan naar het idee van het werk." - JN, Trendbeheer

With: Angele Etoundi Essamba, Bas Meerman, Celine van Balen, Helen Verhoeven, Sara van der Heide, B.C. Epker, Kars Persoon, Martine Stig, Pieter Bijwaard, Gerald van der Kaap, Arno Nollen, Willem Sanders, Marlene Dumas,Teun Hocks, Hendrik Kerstens, Jan Peter Muilwijk, Juul Kraijer, Ger van Elk, Rosemin Hendriks, Siert Dallinga, Gijs Assmann.

Een onmiskenbaar grootstedelijk en soms wat dorps gevoel stijgt op uit het boek Noir van Martine Stig. Knalgeel omslag, om een collectie zwartwitfoto’s op liggend formaat heen, ‛candid’ geschoten tijdens omzwervingen door Amsterdam – de metropool met kleinsteedse allure. Stig is een liefhebber van het donkerste zwart zoals het zich toont in de schaduwpartijen op haar foto’s. Dat zwart vormt één verbindende factor in Noir. Het is een fascinerend spel met licht en duister, en vooral met schaduwen, dat Stig speelt. Haar observaties zijn verrassend –hoe kan het dat een doorzichtige plastic zak toch een schaduw heeft? – en prettig ontregelend.....

Wanderlust, a major exhibition being staged this summer in De Hallen Haarlem, focuses on travel as a source of inspiration for artists. There will be countless examples of Dutch art from the last century and a half, including paintings, sketchbooks, photographs and three-dimensional work. Dozens of artists are represented - from Jan Sluijters, Isaac Israëls and Marius Bauer to contemporary artists like Joost Conijn, Jan Dibbets, Rob Birza, Jennifer Tee and Roy Villevoye. Their journeys generated on-the-spot impressions or inspired creative manipulations on their return home.

On 22 May 2016 (4 pm) a benefit auction of exceptional art will take place for Ringland. This citizens-led initiative in Antwerp has been working on a visionary plan to ‘roof over’ the whole of the ring road to untangle a traffic knot, bolster a healthy environment and create a new green urban zone. More than 100 international artists are now contributing to Ringland by sharing a work for the auction.

Contemporary Dutch portrait photography has been held in high regard for many years, both in the Netherlands itself and on the international stage. Indeed, photographers like Anton Corbijn and Rineke Dijkstra are even more widely known abroad than in their own country. But what makes Dutch portrait photography so unique? The exhibition entitled "Dutch Identity" in Museum de Fundatie in Zwolle centres on that question with works of 25 prominent contemporary portrait photographers, all from the Netherlands.

ListedBlue - an exclusive collection of meticulously sourced, handmade, and highly individual objects - pays homage to an archetypal ethos of a time before creation became production. ListedBlue objects are unfinished, imperfect and barely functional, they have never claimed economic value. Analogous to registering endangered species on so-called red and blue lists, ListedBlue operates as conservator of these objects.

Photographs have been described as mirrors throughout the medium’s history. The twenty-four projects here reflect aspects particular to our current moment.

Video works from the collection G + W.

Play | Composition. For this group show I made a new work derived from my film Play (2009). I used the film stills to create a story in 2D, build from 15 scenes.

Voor elk jaar dat je ouder wordt, krijg je er een eigenschap bij. Commissioned video work.

On the Move focuses on recent developments in photography and reveals the myriad ways in which artists and photographers build their narratives in dialogue with graphic designers. The title On the Move refers to the journeys taken by many of the photographers in creating their projects, as well as the new directions in photography.

Eisenstein believed that film montage could create ideas or have an impact beyond the individual images. Two or more images edited together create a "tertium quid" (third thing) that makes the whole greater than the sum of its individual parts. Making use of the cinematic codes and montage rules I work on a series that combine candid shot images into a tetraptych that tells a different story than the individual images.

The best of Dutch documentary photography. In the Tropenmuseum thirty-four surprising, sometimes intimate documentary projects were exhibited.

Construction, dissolution, disconnection and reconnection of identities, emancipation, independence. The implicit postulates of adolescence are tottering. Unable to put a singular case in the plural, a typology cannot exist if a vision of dissimilar beings is not furnished. The artists presented here endeavour to express this situation. Their work brings out the rituals, roles and life paths of the members of this generation. This taking stock of their reality offers in addition specific and subjective perceptions by a section of society, the New Generation.

Sometimes, dance is suddenly there: in the breathtaking grace of a leaping cat, or in a conductor’s hands that seem to be moving for the sheer pleasure of it. The guest curator for Cinedans 2014 is filmmaker Peter Delpeut. Cinedans invited Delpeut to share his vision on dance film, inspiring him to initiate a community project around ‘found choreography’ – found footage modified to a choreography.

Protagonists is een solo tentoonstelling van Martine Stig (1972) waarin recent en vroeger werk zijn samengebracht. De getoonde werken bouwen voort op de vraag in hoeverre beeldcultuur onze ervaring van de zichtbare werkelijkheid beïnvloedt. Kunnen we met ons voorstellingsvermogen voorbij de beeldenvloed die ons heeft gevormd, en zijn we in staat werkelijk iets nieuws te zien? 

Commissioned by SCHUNCK, Heerlen I photographed het Glaspaleis.

Solo presentation of the series Ante (collection Fries Museum) including the new Ante images, made in Friesland (commissioned by het Fries Museum)

Is it possible to photograph the future? To answer this question, Martine Stig visited four major cities, each at a crucial point in its political, economic or intellectual development: Tunis, Shenzhen, Athens and Geneva.

Love is the theme of the exhibition entitled From Holland With Love, which will be on display in the Netherlands Museum Of Photography from 9 March to 20 May 2013.

Black holes have a ‘point of no return’ beyond which nothing comes back; not even light can escape. In physics these so-called outer and inner event horizons are considered gateways to the future and bridges into parallel universes. The phenomena are so strange that it comes as no surprise that science fiction has often been needed to present us with visions of the future and possible new worlds. -Patricia Pisters-

Their creations deal in different ways with the various themes in Van der Elsken’s book: love, intimacy, voyeurism, the game of truth and fiction, the photographer as narrator, the Internet, found footage, etc. and finally the love of the image - Frits Gierstberg

Twelve artists fascinated and inspired by the country of Japan.

Grouped around the protagonist in the image are children of the same age. To the left and right of the main figure we can see smart dresses, neat pullovers, starched (bow) ties and glimpses of these items.

ShadowDance film programme. On Thursday 28 October Kunsthal KAdE will be staging an evening showcasing shadows in films and architectural films, in collaboration with De Lieve Vrouw Film Theatre Café. Jan Salden will use various film fragments to illustrate the role shadows play in film. The evening will open with the film Play by artist Martine Stig, made in New York in 2009.

Midday Manhattan. Asphalt and stone, men in suits, black sedans, shadows, and stark winter light that cantilevers between tall buildings. This is the setting for Martine Stig’s second film Play (2009), a ten-minute sequence shot in New York’s financial district. Like her earlier film Suto-ri- (2007), a dreamlike montage of passers-by in Tokyo, Play consists of candid shots taken in public space and composed to suggest a skeleton narrative. A man lingers on a sidewalk; a woman in heels stalks down a deserted street; a car with tinted windows draws alongside a work entrance; a call is made, hands gesticulate. The gestures caught by Stig’s camera evoke storylines of intrigue mapped over the conventions of film noir…-Joanna Fiduccia-

The exhibition Quickscan NL #01 shows recent work of approximately 25 new, old, young, well known and yet unknown photographers. The exhibition is focussing on new perspectives, new approaches and new structures within Dutch contemporary photography.

What happens when an important moment cannot be recorded? When a photographer did not bring his or camera. When the machine refused to function, or contained no film, or the batteries were dead? To what degree does this missed opportunity influence our thinking, our imagination? How does the perceived image impact our memory? And can these fluid, never recorded after images inspire new thoughts and stories? After Images is a project about photos that were never taken. 29 ‘image makers’ tell the story of the photo they were unable to take and how that image can go on haunting them.

…met een bijna museale dubbelpresentatie van Viviane Sassen en Martine Stig, die beiden, zij het op verschillende manieren, verhulde, geïsoleerde vrouwen laten zien. -Zoeken naar schatten op ParisPhoto, Merel Bem, Volkskrant-

Conflux is the annual New York festival for contemporary psychogeography, the investigation of everyday urban life through emerging artistic, technological and social practice.

The ReMap game lets its players explore the world –both the physical world and its virtual (re)presentations– in a new way. The game challenges to ‘ReMap’ the earth as seen from satellites.

Unaware or careless of Stig’s camera lens, passers-by lend themselves to become the manifold doubles of main characters in Stig’s film.

Acquisition of the Interactive version of the book Any Resemblance to Existing Persons is Purely Coincidental. Stories of Mr. Wood. Bombay – Los Angeles (2006) by Vanessa van Dam and Martine Stig On the basis of a scenario, Stig and Van Dam visited Bombay and Los Angeles looking for the fictive ‘Mr. Wood’. This digital version allows the viewer to see and compare the visual results of the quest for Mr. Wood.

For the first time ever in any Photographs auction, Christie’s London presents 23 Distinctively Dutch photographs from the Netherlands.

In September 2005 the photographers Viviane Sassen and Martine Stig travelled to Moscow with five ‘condom dresses’ by the Brazilian designer Adriana Bertini in their luggage.
