a formative period in the magazine’s history, from 1992 to 2010.The co-curators of this exhibition are both known
for their work as publication editors: Elisabeth Biondi from journalism as a 15-year veteran of The New Yorker,
and Cay Sophie Rabinowitz from art as a founding editor of the photographic quarterly Fantom.
Date: Apr 15, 2012 – Jun 10, 2012 - Venue: UCCA Central Gallery

CHARLOTTE DUMAS FOR RFC

Now in its fifth edition, the Rapallo Contemporary Photography Festival opens on January 15, 2011
and will run until February 13, 2011, in Castello di Rapallo, Italy. A corresponding book,
Al Lavoro!, has been published by Boiler Corporation for FANTOMBOOKS.
-



Founded in 2006 by photographer Andrea Botto, RFC examines contemporary photographic practice.
This year, Dutch photographer Charlotte Dumas has been invited to interpret the theme, "Return to Photography".
Previous artists include Mario Cresci, Antonio Biasucci, Mark Cohen and Takashi Homma.

Her solo show, Al Lavoro!, is curated by Francesco Zanot. A development of Dumas' ongoing study of animal portraits,
this exhibition and book is a specific project commissioned by the festival, and dedicated exclusively to the subject of
"working dogs" of the area. Her works express a complex rumination on the tradition of portraiture, the dynamics that
govern relationships between humans and animals, and the social and political presumptions in the construction of images.

Buy Al Lavoro! here.
