galleries.
we're very proud to announce you our selection of our exhibiting galleries and the artists shown at photo basel 2016 (to see the artists please scroll down):
The Bildhalle - a gallery for contemporary and classic photography – is one of few galleries in Switzerland devoted entirely to photography. It lays particular emphasis on young emerging photographers, and, at the same time, is representing some well established international photographers. Mirjam Cavegn, the founder of the Bildhalle, spent years developing photography books as a international publisher. Her curiosity and fascination with the genre of photography are reflected in the wide-ranging programme of exhibitions organized by the Bildhalle.
In August 2016, the gallery will move to the center of Zurich and open its
new location with a big solo exhibition of the work of Werner Bischof.
camara oscura is a multidisciplinary art gallery specialising in international contemporary photography. We are committed to interdisciplinary artists, especially to “emerging” ones. Our value proposition is to present the best artists to collectors, selected with professional, alternative and transgressive criteria, as well as to promote our artists over the long term. Participation in national and international art fairs plays an important role for the gallery.
The gallery is situated just down the road from the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (MNCARS) and opposite the Caixaforum Arts Center (Fundación La Caixa), right in the heart of the gallery district of Madrid.
camara oscura is a member of ARTE_MADRID, and Instituto de Arte Contemporáneo (IAC).
The Sound of Latin America
Our theme focus at Photo Basel 16 is Latin America and in particular the contemporary Cuban photographic scene.
Since the revolution in Cuba in the 1960’s, photography has always played an important part of the art scene in Cuba and is a genre-supported by the party. It is these famous “Che” photographs by Alberto Korda or René Burri that have influenced our imagination with regard to the revolution and Cuban society up until today.
By exhibiting the works of the photographers Juan Carlos Alom (1964 Havana) and René Peña (1957 Havana), we display two important representatives of Cuba’s post-1990 photographic scene.
The works shown by Adrian Fernandez (1984 Havanna) are from the series “Epilogue II” and “To Be or To Pretend” – these are vibrant colour photographs by a promising young photographer from Havana.
Balthasar Burkhard (1944-2010), a photographer known for his monochromatic black and white photography, will show his work “Mexico” from the “Cities” series.
René Burri (1933-2014), Swiss Magnum photographer, will display well-known subjects from his Latin American series at our stand.
Flatland Gallery is a contemporary art gallery based in Amsterdam. The gallery is internationally acclaimed (especially) in the field of contemporary photography and has a high reputation for film, video, installations, sculptures, painting and drawings. The success of Flatland Gallery can be attributed to the twin pillars of a cosmopolitan outlook and an independent standpoint. Flatland’s programme encompasses exhibitions and events characterized by a particular audacity. Shows have included ‘hunting. a world of intense concentration’ that not only included international loans from museums,, but encompassed a performance. In 2016 a group show GARDENING is staged that includes artists such as Guy Yanai, Anouk Griffioen and Jocelyn Lee. Alongside its gallery programme, Flatland supports greater freedom for young artists to be experimental such as Gioia de Bruijn (cum laude graduate Camberwell College of Art, London)and Katharine Cooper, who recently went to Syria, Iraq and Kurdistan to document the lives of those who are persecuted by Daech.
The Alain Gutharc Gallery opened in 1992, with the project to present and represent living artists engaged in contemporary art practices, regardless of their favoured medium, it being either painting, sculpture, photography, video or installation…
Since 2006 the gallery Alain Gutharc has found a new ground in the district of Marais, rue Saint-Claude, one of the liveliest centers for contemporary art in Paris.
Galerie Binôme opened in the Marais in Paris in October 2010 and is devoted to contemporary photography. In parallel to an annual programme of monographic and group exhibitions, it participates in Mois de la Photo in Paris and regularly exhibits in international contemporary art and photography fairs. Member of the Comité professionnel des galeries d’art and co-founder of Photo District Marais, Galerie Binôme collaborates with various other key figures in the world of art and photography, curators, privat and public institutions.
Galerie Binôme opens his program to emerging artists from contemporary art. The selection leans more specifically towards visual arts, in search of new forms of photography. These artists, from a variety of backgrounds, from conceptual photography, sculpture, performance, drawing and writing, explore the boundaries of medium and supports. To define the domain of photography, its scope and limits, as well as the post-photographic condition, are at the heart of the research carried out by the gallery.
Gallery member of the French professional committee of art galleries. Director of Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac Paris from 1992 to 2002, director of post-war and contemporary department, Christie’s France from 2002 to 2006, Caroline Smulders created her own company in 2007.

Catherine and André Hug Gallery was founded in Paris in 2000. Located in the heart of Saint Germain des Près, Paris’ artistic and historic district, the Gallery is primarily dedicated to contemporary art, representing artists of various expressions - from painting to installation, drawing and sculpture - the gallery has gradually dedicated itself to photography and for the last five years exclusively to photographic works.
The Catherine and André Hug Gallery chose photography to explore the mode of expression of this medium, particularly through classic documentary style photographers or fictional form enabled by the medium. Additionally, the gallery especially chose photography for its questioning of reality, its narrative potential or exploration of the dream that inhabits man. For the past five years, the gallery presented, among others, the documentary work of the famous American photographer Susan Meiselas (Prince Street Girls, 1976), the far north exploration of British photographer Stuart Franklin (Narcissus, 2010), classical and meditative landscapes of Italian George Tatge, fictions by Canadian Kourtney Roy, the one of a kind artworks imbued with a feeling of timelessness and ambiguity from Joni Sternbach and the cinematics images from Maroesjka Lavigne.
The gallery is developing its photographic programme by comparing historical series to most contemporary expressions. Discoveries and rediscoveries allow to question time and reality, two foundations of photography.
Founded in 2007 rue de Thorigny, Paris, the gallery moved, in October 2015, to its 450m2 new location in the Marais, with two distinct spaces : FRONT SPACE and MAIN SPACE.
Though it shouldn't be seen as one of its guidelines, the Galerie Christophe Gaillard is proud to be working with many women artists. The gallery can be seen as a trajectory space for a new generation of emerging artists (Michelle Lopez, Rachel de Joode, Letha Wilson). It also represents great figures of contemporary art (Hélène Delprat, Sigalit Landau). Futhermore, working with the agreement of the estate, the gallery aims at enhancing the pertinence of recognized artists from the 60s to the 90s like Tetsumi Kudo and Daniel Pommereulle in light of actual art practices.
The gallery opens up to the international market by developing a network of partner galleries and by taking part in many art fairs such as Paris Photo, Artissima, Loop, NADA, abc berlin, FIAC OFFicielle, Vienna Contemporary....
Located in Le Marais in Paris, Galerie Dix9 opened its doors by the end of 2007
Helene Lacharmoise, after initially studying political sciences, turned to art and specialized in contemporary art and cinema during her recent studies at the Ecole du Louvre and at the Sorbonne in Paris
Pursuing a consistent and personal line, the gallery puts the emphasis on the artist's vision and its relation to the medium used. Nevertheless the gallery has a clear photographic bent. The choice of artists is determined by a true fit between them and the gallery. Their canvas is reality.
Their work is about the dimension of time, whether in the intimate, social or political sphere, concerned with evolving societies, caught between past and future, delusion and objectivity.
Memory and forgetfulness. Image and identity.
Located in Paris since 1996, Galerie Esther Woerdehoff is specialized in contemporary photography with recognized and mid-career artists.
Dynamic, with six to eight exhibitions every year and a regular presence at international art fairs, the Galerie Esther Woerdehoff is an essential address for photography collectors and lovers all over the world.

Created in September 2014, Laurence Bernard Gallery represents both Swiss and international artists. The programming focuses on the links between art and notions of environment, space and architecture. Researches are concentrated on conceptual and abstract art, through various media, such as video, performance, photography, painting, drawing and sculpture.
Each year, the gallery proposes a non-commercial project within its space. In 2014, the Chapuisat Brothers, created ANTRE, a hybrid installation in between architecture and sculpture, in the gallery’s new space in the Quartier des Bains. The gallery underwent a transformation during the exhibition, its architecture modified in deep and radical ways, becoming a playground for adult explorers. In 2p15, the French artist Stéphane Thidet touched down in a revisited version of space capsule, the result of a collapsing together of Henry David Thoreau’s book Walden, or Life in the Woods (1854) and the 1958 Mercury Seven program. Thidet’s piece simultaneously brings together electronic music, sculpture and performance.
This year, Séverine Hubard will intervene directly in the architecture of the gallery, creating a space in which the hanging of the works and the layout of walls will play off each other in a symmetrical call-and-response
Galerie Monika Wertheimer was officially founded in 2001. The gallery space has vastly improved since those early days and thinking back it is hard to imagine how the artists endured to exhibit in the tiny room that was the gallery space until 2005. ln 2005, the Galerie Monika Wertheimer moved to its present day location, a light filled space in a former brick factory in Oberwil, just outside the Baselcity Iimits. Sur-rounded by 60 creative ateliers of all kinds, it's the ideal place for a gal-lery representing ernerging photographic art.
The aim of the gallery remains to discover and support the work of promising young photographers (mostly Swiss, but not exclusively), of-ten giving them their first opportunity to exhibit their works profession-ally and to be introduced to a select audience of high-end collectors from the Basei/Zurich region.

Pierre Andre Podbielski established Podbielski Contemporary in January 2011 in the heart of Berlin, Mitte.
The emphasis of Podbielski Contemporary’s program is to represent a wide range of artists who narrate the geopolitics of the Balkans, the Middle East, Italy and Germany through transcultural perspectives. In the last five years since its inception, Podbielski Contemporary has held 5 exhibitions per year and attended a number of international art fairs, including Rome Road to Contemporary, London Art 13, Artissima 2013/2014/2015, MIA Fair Milan 2011-2015, MIA Singapore 2014, Art Paris 2015 and Context Art Miami 2015. Its main focus is to document geopolitical issues seen from an artistic perspective. Podbielski Contemporary seeks to promote, besides exhibitions, catalogues designed and published for each show and to address its work to international private and museum collections. Its founder strongly believes that a gallery, besides representing artists and promoting their works in the optimal way, should serve as a platform for the exchange of ideas about art and culture.
The Raffaella De Chirico Contemporary Art gallery was founded in 2011 by Raffaella De Chirico who focused her program of exhibits production and realization of previously unseen projects in Italy for the most part, centering on artists under the age of 40 who had already distinguished themselves for their studies and artistic work outside Italy.
The same principle is applied to the historicized artists represented in the gallery, with particular regard to those whose studies stood out in 70s and 80s. A constant search for the “then/now” is the common thread that characterizes the attention to semantics and conceptual minimalism, looking for a kind of photography with a social and current events impression or for photojournalism and for new production materials. The end result is the search for a dialogue with the past, devoid of a nostalgic or caricature-like approach, but determined to unravel the peculiarities of the present in an attempt to stimulate discussion and dialogue.
The photography occupies a quite particular place in the programming of the gallery, with personalities as Gilles CARON, the biggest French war photo reporter disappeared in 1970 or the british James HILL who join the team this spring. Many young talented photographers as the french Sacha GOLDBERGER with his legendary super heroes portraits, treated as Flemish portraits or Nicolas DHERVILLERS well known with is american night light in landscape photographies.Also two photographers from nordic school Joakim ENEROTH (Tate collection) or Susanna HESSELBERG and the australian Vee SPEERS with the Happy Days and Bulletproof series presented over the world. Finally the French duet BACHELOR CARON recognized for their photos of crimes and delicatessen.

The gallery program is dedicated to different fields of contemporary art with a clear focus on the represented artists and the development of their artistic work.

Booth 17
Beyond photography widmertheodoridis pursues artistic positions from the broader regional periphery, that have the potential to compete in a national and international environment. Young and established artists from the fields of photography, drawing, sculpture and video present peaceful and provocative works that also receive broad attention at the fairs.
The motivation of widmertheodoridis to show exciting and extraordinary positions far away from the urban centres takes on an unusual yet no less interesting relevance. This solitary location emphasizes on the one hand the original profile of the gallery and on the other hand it underlines the uniqueness of the represented artistic works.
The new gallery premises consist of a contemporary designed building, an outdoor space for installations and the newly renovated hay barn for installations and video projections.
The booth concept for photo-basel 2016 comprises three artists who sound out the medium of photography in their own unique way:
Simon Kappeler explores the limits of expired and infrared films.
Lydia Wilhelm uses photography to create object-like images of landscapes.
Kolja Linowitzki has designed a machine that creates unique images without a camera.
