It is a well known fact that the majority of images we consume are created by men, and too often is feminism an easy target for commodification in the wider context of contemporary culture. SHOWstudio has decided to examine this 'self-other' relationship and curate an exhibition about sex, as seen exclusively from a female perspective. The exhibition opens 22nd March 2012.
We all like to hope that times have changed and the war of the sexes is less like a war and more like a sophisticated dialogue. And yet, when you consider that only 5% of all the artists in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in 1989 were women, while the Louvre today still has no female artists in their collection of over 35,000 artworks, it's a pretty shocking state of affairs. The facts suggest that the war still needs to happen.
At the Museum of Modern Art, only 8% of the work exhibited are created by women. The Tate's female holdings? A whopping 15%. Meanwhile it's just as bleak in commercial galleries. In 2010, an average of 23% of gallery shows in NY and London featured female artists. What's more, is that this imbalance doesn't only exist in fine art. It's in Fashion, with the leading fashion photographers creating the leading fashion campaigns mostly being men. And it's in Film, where women hold only 33% of all speaking roles and 7% of all Directors in Hollywood are women. And, the real kicker? There are still ONLY three industries in which women earn more money than men - Pornography, Prostitution and Modelling. What does that tell us?
Well, for one, the statistics don't lie. We live in a world where man's version of the world is more prevalent than woman's which in turn means that the majority of images we see of women are created by men.So, for this exhibition at SHOWstudio Shop we decided to take a look exclusively at what a woman's version of a woman looks like. Is it different? Is it the same as a man's? Is an image of a nude woman somehow empowered in the hand's of a female artist? Does it resist all those traditionally constructed gender roles? Does it mock an unavoidably voyeuristic male gaze? Do the women confront? Or, do we see yet more examples of the female constantly diverting her own eye, facilitating her status as the object to be looked at verses ever being the subject doing the looking, as Laura Mulvey writes in her classic essay "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema?" And is John Berger still right? Though also some 20 years old, in his often-referenced "Ways of Seeing" he contends that "men look at women. Women watch themselves being looked at. This determines not only most relations between men and women but also the relation of women to themselves.The surveyor of women in herself is male: the surveyed female. Thus she turns herself into an object – and most particularly an object of vision: a sight." Does all this still hold true? And if a woman creates an image of a woman, is the male perspective so engrained that she still creates a to-be-looked-at female?
We are aware of the potential short fallings of such a exhibition.We know we're tipping the imbalance right back the other way. We know we are ghettoizing work by women in their own unique female grotto. And we know we're not launching the major survey show that this should be in our Mayfair gallery. But, we feel, it's a start. It's a conversation. And one that we hope helps us all emerge just a little more aware of just how male gendered our visual culture really is and a little less willing to put up with it.

ROAD ATLAS
Straßenfotografie aus der DZ BANK Kunstsammlung
KUNSTMUSEUM DIESELKRAFTWERK COTTBUS
Die Straße als Schauplatz des Alltags und urbanes Merkmal übt von jeher eine besondere Faszination auf Fotografinnen und Fotografen aus. "Road Atlas" vereint erstmals rund 150 Fotografien aus der DZ Bank Kunstsammlung zum Thema Straße: 26 Positionen und 70 Jahre Straßenfotografie.
Das Spektrum der von Dr. Beate Kemfert, Kuratorin und Stiftungsvorstand der Opelvillen, und Dr. Christina Leber, Leiterin der DZ BANK Kunstsammlung, ausgewählten Fotografien zeigt Straßen rund um den Globus in der Zeitspanne der Nachkriegsfotografie bis heute. Die Fotografien halten Gebäudeansichten, Alltagssituationen sowie radikale Veränderungen im Bild fest und dokumentieren so Zeiten des Wohlstands, der Stagnation und Spuren des Verschwindens städtischer Räume. Darüber hinaus zeigen sie Menschen des urbanen Raums.
Bis heute hat die Straße in der Fotografie eine besondere Bedeutung. Neben kulturellen Phänomenen üben formale Kriterien und lineare Qualitäten dauerhaft Anziehungskraft aus.
Der Reigen der vorgestellten Fotografinnen und Fotografen beginnt bei Helen Levitt (1913-2009), der Klassikerin der Street Photography, und endet bei Zeitgenossen wie Pieter Hugo (*1976).
Mit über 6000 fotografischen Werken von mehr als 550 Künstlerinnen und Künst- lern zählt die DZ BANK Kunstsammlung zu den bedeutendsten Sammlungen, die sich mit dem fotografischen Bild auseinandersetzt.
Die Ausstellung ist nach den Opelvillen vom 11. Juli bis zum 26. August 2012 im Kunstmuseum Dieselkraftwerk, Cottbus zu sehen www.museum-dkw.de, im Frühjahr 2013 in der Kunsthalle Erfurt www.kunsthalle-erfurt.de und im Sommer 2013 in der DZ Bank, Frankfurt www.dzbank-kunstsammlung.de.
Fotografinnen und Fotografen: Nobuyoshi Araki, Ursula Arnold, René Burri, Gregory Crewdson, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Pietro Donzelli, Valie Export, Arno Fischer, Robert Häusser, Naoya Hatakeyama, Pieter Hugo, Gerd Kittel, Barbara Klemm, Helen Levitt, Will McBride, Aernout Mik, John Miller, Ryuji Miyamoto, Jean-Luc Moulène, Marcel Odenbach, Arnold Odermatt, Stefanie Schneider, Stephen Shore, Anatolij Shuravlev, Beat Streuli, Thomas Struth.

Galerie Catherine et André Hug, Paris
Vernissage Thursday, November 3 
Margarita Smoke Rings, 1/5, 2009 (125x150cm)
The participating galleries will show projects in relation with this theme.
We will present Stefanie Schneider and Laurent Chalumeau for they share an obvious and great common link.
Stefanie Schneider's pictorial narratives mostly shot in the South West of the United States will to be shown in the gallery and we'll have readings and talks about Laurent Chalumeau's book "Moi & «Bobby Mc Gee". The book is a study of a song "Me and Bobby Mc Gee" by Chris Kristofferson sung by Janis
Joplin (among others). The novel is just like Stefanie Schneider's work, a story of a wandering and careless youth and passionate love. It is a roadmovie taking place in America, a rosebud, a sign of tribal and generational connivance. This book and Stefanie Schneider's work speaks to everyone who believes in the endless power of this magic song and even more to those who don't.

ROLLO CONTEMPORARY ART, LONDON
Press Launch and Private View, Tuesday, July 5, 5pm
Stefanie Schneider, Radha Mind Screen, 1999, Analog C-Print,128 x 125 cm
Taking the American West as her inspiration, Schneider’s alluring female characters are placed within the vast, sun drenched landscapes of California. Often in wigs and colourful dress Schneider’s images evoke ideas of masquerade and play, however the intense gazes of Schneider’s female characters undermine their playful edge suggesting an unnerving or tragic quality beneath the surface of these glossy women. Together her photographs evoke love, pain, loneliness, alienation and re-discovery and collectively can be seen to suggest a social commentary on America; pointing to the cracks beneath the surface of the glitz and glamour of Western American and the ‘American Dream’. Using expired Polaroid film which is then enlarged, Schneider’s images both emphasise the sun drenched light of California and embody the cinematographic quality of the films of Quentin Taratino and Oliver Stone. Although carefully staged, Schneider’s works are reminiscent of forgotten memories, dreams and chance encounters. The blemishes of the flawed Polaroid film, further add to Schneider’s intent to represent an imperfect narrative, whereby the viewer is left questioning. Schneider has commented on the relationship between her bleached out Californian dreamscapes and the disintegration of a faded Hollywood dream, “Hollywood is the quintessential dream factory, everyone goes there in search of their dreams, and many dreams are shattered there.” As a European living in Los Angeles, her work highlights aspects of melancholy and loss that lie beneath the gloss and glamour of today’s America. Stefanie Schneider was born in Germany in 1968. She received her MFA in Communication Design at the Folkwang Schule Essen, Germany. Currently she divides her time between her two studios in Berlin and Los Angles.
ROLLO Contemporary Art, London launched in 2005. The principle concern of the gallery is to present exhibitions which create a dialogue between innovative contemporary art and its theoretical contexts in the exhibition space. As well as holding solo exhibitions of gallery artists, the program at ROLLO focuses on thematic group exhibitions exploring trends in current art practice. A major focus at the gallery is the representation of women artists. From 2009 to 2011 the gallery curated a three part touring exhibition The Body in Women’s Art Now, which travelled to the New Hall Art Collection, University of Cambridge.

>> June 16 - July 30 | 2011 STEFANIE SCHNEIDER
Galerie Catherine et André Hug, Paris
Vernissage Saturday, June 18, 4pm
Pour ses séries photographiques Stefanie Schneider utilise exclusivement du matériel Polaroid périmé, dont les substances chimiques réagissent de manière aléatoire, provoquant des aberrations chromatiques, des trous et des halos, qui se posent sur les motifs arrangés avec soin comme une seconde réalité. A l’aide du Polaroid, parfaitement adaptée aux instantanés, Stefanie Schneider donne à ses images de magnifiques effets picturaux, obtient des flous et met en scène le hasard. Stefanie Schneider peint avec ses films Polaroid. Elle évoque l’ambivalence entre imagination et interprétation, fiction et réalité, et laisse au spectateur le soin de fabriquer!sa propre image, de se situer dans un espace réel ou surréel. Le motif du désert alimente la dichotomie entre l’imagination et la réalité, en rupture constante avec la notion de repère fiable et les personnages évoluent dans un monde perdu...

Introduction Michael Stoeber, Art Critic, Hannover.
»A wish«, 2009, C-Print mounted on Aluminium, 37x47cm, Edition 5
In mythischen Bildern amerikanischer Landschaften erarbeitet die seit Jahren in Kalifornien tätige deutsche Fotografin Stefanie Schneider facettenreiche, fotogra-fische Zyklen. Die entstehenden Erzählungen rekurrieren auf Bilder der Traumfa- brik Hollywood. Indem die Künstlerin ihre Darstellungen jedoch durch die Verwen- dung von abgelaufenem Polaroid-Material stört, das zu Farbveränderungen, Fehlern und Leerstellen innerhalb der Aufnahmen führt, thematisiert sie die Ambi- valenz des sprichwörtlichen »American Dream«. Stefanie Schneider entfaltet gleichsam ein Roadmovie mit ihrer lakonischen Bilderreise durch die Verheißun- gen und Abgründe einer Wüstenlandschaft, in der die Protagonisten an der Schnittstelle von Fotografie und Film agieren. Ihre sich im Licht auflösenden, poetischen Fotografien, die unscharf wie Traumsequenzen aufscheinen, erzeu- gen spannungsvolle Gefühle zwischen Vertrautheit und Fremdheit, Klischee und Realität.

30WORKS GALLERY, COLOGNE
Reception Sunday, May 15, 15.00h
»Beloved«, 2007, C-Print mounted on Aluminium, 70x90cm, Edition 5
Im Rahmen des „Kultursonntags“ eröffnet am Sonntag, den 15. Mai 2011 um 15 Uhr in der Kölner Galerie 30works die zweiwöchige Ausstellung „Polaroids“ mit Arbeiten der Folkwang-Absolventin Stefanie Schneider.
Seit einigen Jahren schon sorgt sie mit ihren Bildern für Furore. Ihre Blow Ups, die sie in ihrem eigenen Labor selbst vergrößert, bewegen sich zwischen Film, Fotografie und Malerei. Surreal entrückt und irritierend wie ein Thriller von David Lynch, erinnern sie mit ihrer verblichenen Farbigkeit an die Pop-Art der 50er Jahre.
Die Fotokünstlerin arbeitet mit der für Schnappschüsse gebräuchlichen Polaroid- Technik. Dabei verwendet sie ausschließlich Material, das bereits das Verfallsdatum überschritten hat. Die dadurch bedingten unkalkulierbaren chemischen Prozesse erzeugen eine aufregende Ästhetik des Unvollkommenen: Farbverschiebungen, Flecken und Überstrahlungen legen sich wie eine zweite Realität über die sorgsam inszenierten Motive. Der Zufall wird bei Stefanie Schneider ganz bewusst zum künstlerischen Komplizen.
Die gebürtige Cuxhavenerin arrangiert ihre Lichtbilder bevorzugt in der Weite des amerikanischen Südwestens. Ihre Reminiszenzen an die Genreszenen der Traumfabrik taucht sie in die Fehlfarben einer flüchtigen Illusion. Es sind Standbilder eines Films, der im Kopf des Betrachters abläuft, „Polaroad Movies“ auf den verschlungenen Pfaden unserer Ängste und Sehnsüchte.

RENéE'S DREAM (USA / 2005, 4')
were generated, only adds to the diminishing sense of substance once attributed to these iconic American fabrications. And, that she is able to do this through photographic images rather than film, undercuts the dominance espoused by time-based film. Film feigns to be seamless though we know it is not. Film operates with a story board and setting in which scenes are elaborately arranged and pre-planned. Schneider has thus been able to generate a genre of fragmentary events, the assemblage of a story without a storyboard. But these post-narratological stories require another component, and that component is the viewer who must bring his own interpretation as to what is taking place. If this can be considered the upside of her work, the downside is that she never positions herself by giving a personal opinion as to the events that are taking place in her photographs. But, perhaps, this is nothing more than her use of the operation of chance dictates....

Painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, video, and installation; all media will be represented in a unique format highly favorable to participating artists.
The Catherine and André Hug Gallery seeks to discover young talent and promote them internationally. The gallery works largely with artists exploring the times, and techniques of their time. The German Photographer Stefanie Schneider will offer photographic portraits of the American West exploring the fragility of the America dream. In her series Schneider tests the limits of the Polaroid and all its chromatic aberrations as part of a carefully crafted motif of halos and holes representative of a second reality.
