46th Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles Features Evans, Shore Retrospectives and Japanese Photography
The 46th Rencontres de la Photographie is happening in Arles and features 35 different exhibitions that dive into the links between photography, architecture, music, and cinema, along with the Arles Books Festival. One major highlight is 'Rereading: the History of Photography Revisited,' which includes two solo shows: 'Walker Evans – Anonymous,' focusing on his lesser-known magazine work, and a full retrospective on Stephen Shore. Other key attractions include Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown's Las Vegas Studio archive, color photos from Fellini's 8 ½ (1963) by Paul Ronald, and a group display with over 200 prints by eight Japanese photographers. The Parc des Ateliers will showcase solo works from ten Discovery Award finalists, with the winner announced during the first week. In Avignon, Yvon Lambert's collection reopens, featuring 'An Imaginary Museum' from July 11 to October 11, honoring the theatre icon Patrice Chéreau. The festival was announced on June 29, 2015.
