The architecture aside, they had four exhibitions on at the moment. An absorbing show of work by Anton Corbijn who I have been familiar with but his recent work is really at a higher level than what I had seen in the past. This Dutch photographer goes way beyond the cliché in his stunning portraiture of ‘celebrities’, artists, musicians, politicians and others. It’s practically worth a trip just to see his work alone.
Other major shows are by Aitor Ortiz. Beautiful, insightful minimalist black and white photographs of architectural based objects and studies of Light within semi and enclosed spaces. Margaret M. de Lange, a Norwegian, shows us a slew of depressingly interesting photographs of the disheartened, disenfranchised in spirit and edge of society human folk. A lot of her work depicts violence in various forms against woman. Not an easy exhibition to view but a definitely worthwhile group of images. The last of the exhibitions is by Ron Haviv, an American photojournalist who has covered both the initial Haitian earthquake in 2010 and it’s people two years later. He works in the finest traditional photojournalistic vein. His work is insightful and pungent with an eye for detail that speaks of large issues and deep feelings.
Do yourself a favour and visit this excellent demonstration of what an exceptional museum of photography this is.
PS. I am not Swedish nor do I own any shares in this establishment.
