Christiane Baumgartner

Info: Zander Galerie is delighted to announce an exhibition of new and recent woodcuts by Christiane Baumgartner. Presenting monumental seascapes and landscapes in black and white and color, The Long Goodbye centers on sunsets and horizons along the sea, derived from her own video stills and digital photographs. The images reveal their subjects only from a distance; up close, they dissolve into meticulously carved line grids. While the motifs evoke symbols of longing or quiet eeriness, the works register tensions between stillness and subtle political unease. In the featured Sunken Treasure works, light appears as luminous glimpses beneath the water, in hues of purple and green. Through the pressure and layering of ink, combined with selective abrasion on the verso, Baumgartner transforms each image into a unique woodcut, barely resembling the source material. By slowing the flux of light into a labor-intensive process, these predominantly large-scale prints probe our contemporary perception of time, illuminating the fragile space between control and uncertainty.

Mitch Epstein

Info: Zander Galerie is pleased to present American Arbor, an exhibition of large-scale photographs by Mitch Epstein spanning the last two decades. Bringing together images of trees from American Power, Hoh Rain Forest, and his most recent series Old Growth, the show traces Epstein’s sustained exploration of the relationship between landscape and culture in the United States. Epstein photographs trees near energy production sites and in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, in the moss-covered Olympic National Park in Washington and in ancient forests across the country. These towering works illuminate how trees are indicators of environmental vulnerability yet also powerful symbols of endurance.

Lake Verea

Info: Zander Galerie is delighted to present Full Moon Party, the first exhibition with Mexican artist duo Lake Verea. The presentation gathers, as guests to a party, key bodies of work from their ongoing series DarkRooms, initiated in 2011. Working with different cameras and formats, both analogue and digital, Lake Verea explore iconic works of modern architecture under conditions of darkness and reflective full moon light. Through long exposures and a practice of slow photography, the duo indulge in experimenting with Deep Time in search of intimacy and sexiness. Their images reveal atmospheres and spatial experiences that remain invisible in daylight. The works shift attention from architectural form to the subtle interplay of light, shadow, and time.

Clark Winter

Info: Zander Galerie is pleased to present its first solo exhibition with work by American photographer Clark Winter. Spanning several decades, the exhibition Untold Stories brings together works from 1970 through 2017, offering an overview of an oeuvre shaped by sustained observation and experience. Clark Winter developed his photographic practice alongside a long career in international finance, living and working across Europe, Latin America, and the United States. Throughout decades of global travel, he continuously photographed – always carrying a camera. His work emerges from an intuitive engagement with the world, guided less by predefined subjects than by a sustained attentiveness to what unfolds in front of him. As Winter notes; »The world is what’s interesting to me. As one looks with curiosity the world reveals more, and the more fascinating it then becomes.«
