St. Moritz and the engadin host, from August 22 to August 31, exhibitions of regional, national and international artists, focusing once again on art and culture, especially from India. The so-called ‘WAlK oF ArT’ presents in the engadin a wide range of international contemporary art exhibitions and projects, in addition to this year‘s focus on India. Works by famous artists will be on display, in a unique international festival. except for the traditional venues in St. Moritz, Samedan and Zuoz, selected prestigious galleries are also integrated in the ‘WAlK oF ArT’, offering the visitor the opportunity to admire the works of national and international artists, as well as works of this year's focus: India.
The group exhibition ‘India: Maximum city’ presents the works of 10 artists, assuming a dual role as practitioners and urban citizens, facing the numerous challenges of an infrastructure, which is about to collapse, due to the lack of proper urban planning and gentrification. These artists critically explore the social, political, architectural and economic implications of urbanization. The Indian metropolis is seen as an ever growing organism, which simultaneously serves as a rich source of inspiration. The works on display commonly address the question if the utopian dream of urban modernity will ever be deemed livable or if it will end up in dystopia. Three site-specific projects by Shilpa Gupta, Subodh Gupta and Nalini Malani, present trans-cultural issues, ranging from contemporizing Western and eastern myths and rituals to transgressing national borders and cultural stereotypes. A group exhibition is also presented, from the Stellar International Art Foundation the choudhrie family‘s private collection- with works of M. F. Husain, Paresh Maity and Jayasri burman, based on Indian modern art. At the same time, Karsten Greve Gallery hosts Manish Nai's work, which is strongly characterized by a simple materiality. Nai uses, as the starting point of his work, a traditional natural product, jute, transferred into an artistic context.
13
villa Flor hosts a collection of recent works on paper by the Swiss artist, author and publisher, Philipp Keel, all inspired by the artist’s extensive travels.
A monumental tent installation by the Italian artist Francesco clemente is also presented in St. Moritz school building. He creates these tents in India and refers to them as ‘cave paintings’ or ‘mobile chapels’. clemente’s tents take us to a place of silence and contemplation. At the same time, bischofberger Gallery presents a retrospective that combines clemente's ‘Indian’ work from the last 25 years, with an ‘atmosphere’ between promise, seduction and satisfaction or between faith and hope.
14
In robilant+voena Gallery, the double exhibition ‘east/West’ by Jitish Kallat and Julian Schnabel manifests an encounter between two cultures. Schnabel works on preexisting photographic images of the Hindu divinity Shiva, while Kallat depicts the many facets of life by interlacing several autobiographical, art historical, political and celestial references.
Another highlight of this year‘s festival is british artist billy childish’s multi-part image series, referencing to the engadin artist, Giovanni Segantini. These large-format paintings were developed specifically for St. Moritz Art Masters and are being exhibited in the French church of St. Moritz.

In addition, the chesa Planta Museum, in Samedan, presents the private art collection ‘The bilderberg collection’, which contains over 30 exhibits of different eras of painting, photography and sculpture by unnamed artists. This anonymity enables to focus on the essential, the works of art, giving the viewer the opportunity for an independent judgment, free from art world's trends and personality cults.
The repositioning of ‘Portable Subway entrance’ sculpture by the German artist Martin Kippenberger, presents an occasion to combine all of the region's public sculptures that can be visited all year round in a ‘Sculpture course’. existing works by olaf breuning, James Turrell, roman Signer and Hubert Kiecol can be explored, as well as the newly installed sculpture ‘Usagi Kannon’ by leiko Ikemura in St. Moritz, by the lake. The artists, of whom the works are presented in ST. MorITZ ArT MASTerS 2014, are: curtis Anderson, Pablo bartholomew, Jayasri burman, riddhibrata burman, billy childish, Francesco clemente, Pratul Dash, Smriti Dixit, Shilpa Gupta, Subodh Gupta, lori Hersberger, Didier Hagège, Maqbool Fida Husain, leiko Ikemura, Jitish Kallat, reena Saini Kallat, ranbir Kaleka, Philipp Keel, Manish Nai, Paresh Maity, Nalini Malani, Manish Nai, Julian Schnabel, Gigi Scaria, Mithu Sen, christoph Steinmeyer, Sooni Taraporevala, Hema Upadhyay and the bilderberg collection.

24 The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New york hosts, from June 27 to September 21, the first retrospective work of the famous American photographer, Garry Winogrand. Winogrand, who was the renowned photographer of
New york city’s and American life from the 1950s through the early 1980s, is widely considered one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, ‘the central photographer of his generation’, as the American photographer,
curator, historian, critic and Director of Photography at MoMA, John Szarkowski, called him. Taking pictures from Fifth Avenue to Sunset boulevard, from cape Kennedy to the Texas State Fair dur-
ing the 1950s and 1960s, Winogrand became one of the principal voices of the eruptive postwar decades. Known primarily as a street photographer, he photographed with dazzling energy business moguls, everyday women
El Morocco, New York / Winogrand
on the street, famous actors and athletes, hippies, politicians, soldiers, animals in zoos, rodeos, car culture, airports, antiwar demonstrators and the construction workers who beat them bloody in view of the unmoved police.
Winogrand's photographs combine the hope and happiness as well as the anxiety and turbulence that characterized America during these decades, revealing a society with many possibilities but also an anxiety to spin out of control.
The artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pictures, although often bulged with 20 or 30 figures, reflect a feeling of human isolation, hinting at something darker beneath the veneer of the American dream. black and white, dynamic, with a sense of unforeseen and haphazard, Winogrand's pictures reveal a unique poetry, giving us the cadre of middle-class life in postwar America. Totally dedicated to his work, Winogrand preferred shooting film to editing his pictures or producing books and exhibitions, allowing others to perform these tasks for him. As a result, many of his strongest early photographs fell into obscurity as he matured. Dying suddenly at the age of 56, he left behind proof sheets from his
earlier years that he had marked but never printed, as well as approximately 6.600 rolls of film (about 250.000 images) that he had never seen. These rolls of film were developed after his death. Winogrand was born in 1928 in the then predominantly Jewish working-class area of the bronx. His father, Abraham, was a leather worker, and his mother, bertha, made neckties for piecemeal work. He studied painting at city college of New york and painting and photography at columbia University in New york city in 1948. He also attended a photojournalism class at The New School for Social research in New york city in 1951.

In 1955 two of Winogrand's photos appeared in ‘The Family of Man’ exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art. Winogrand's first one-man show was held at Image Gallery in New york city in 1959. His first notable appearance was in ‘Five Unrelated Photographers’ in 1963, also at the Museum of Modern Art, along with Minor White, George Krause,
Jerome liebling and Ken Heyman. In 1966 Winogrand exhibited at the George eastman House in rochester with lee Friedlander, Duane Michals, bruce Davidson, and Danny lyon in an exhibition entitled ‘Toward a Social landscape’. In 1967 he participated in the ‘New Documents’ show at MoMA with Diane Arbus and lee Friedlander, cu-
rated by John Szarkowski. In 1964 Winogrand was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship Award to travel through America. He was awarded his second Guggenheim Fellowship in 1969 to continue exploring on media events and their effect on the public. Winogrand received a National endowment for the Arts
Fellowship in 1975. In 1979, with his third Guggenheim Fellowship, he moved to los Angeles to document california. Winogrand married Adrienne lubeau in 1952, separating in 1963 and divorcing in 1966. They had two children, laurie and ethan. Around 1967 Winogrand married his second wife,

Judy Teller and they were together until 1969. In 1972 he married eileen Adele Hale, with whom he had a daughter, Melissa. Winogrand died of gallbladder cancer, in 1984 at the age of 56. The exhibition ‘Garry Winogrand’ brings together more than 175 of the artist's
iconic images, a treasure of unseen prints, and even Winogrand’s famed series of photographs made at the Metropolitan Museum in 1969, when the Museum celebrated its centennial. This exhibition offers a rigorous overview of Winogrand's complete working life and reveals for the first time the full sweep of his career.
‘Garry Winogrand’ is divided into 3 parts. ‘Down from the bronx’, presents photographs made in New york from his start in 1950 until 1971, ‘A Student of America’ photographs made at the same period during journeys outside New york and ‘boom and bust’ Winogrand’s late work from when he moved away from New york in 1971 until his death in 1984, with photographs from Texas and Southern california, as well as chicago, Washington, Miami, and other locations, as the artist was also an avid traveler. The exhibition is organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the National Gallery of Art in Washington.

Focus is on the outskirts of rome and its new districts. So similar to each other. So different from what foreigners think of rome. New residential areas with almost no public services, growing next to huge shopping centers.
O u t S k i r t S Desolate corners. temporary limitations. improvised dumps. the lights of the lampposts are almost the only incarnation of public services. the glow in the middle of the frame, modern comet, tries somehow to capture the attention of people passing by only by chance. it is in this case an epiphany of nothing. A safe area instead, for those living in these districts. the only perimeter of light before slipping into the darkness.
these are also the boundary areas where the fight between humans and nature goes on. After every victory, every human conquest, a flag would be put up to state that victory. the light of the lampposts is the constant and ubiquitous flag of human civilization. this way the area is, by means of the lamppost, marked as safe, cleared, colonized, gained to human usage.

The gallery space is an abstract space, which can fit any figment and fantasy. It begins to function only when there is the artist and the viewer. but among them there are many obstacles: architecture, cabinets, railings, fire extinguishers, hydrants and lady guarding the works. She is often the only human touch in this inhuman space. Staring into the distance, she's tired of hearing sounds from another video work, she's listening for months. Nobody knows about her existence in the art world. She's entirely unnoticed, but she is a part of this abstract space. The image, floor, wall, chair and the lady from Gallery
