Exhibition: Push Plus One
K-Gold Temporary Gallery presents Push Plus One, an exhibition by fashion photographer Bill Georgoussis, curated by Nikolas Vamvouklis. It is a retrospective of the most important moments from the 30-year career of the internationally renowned artist, along with previously unpublished archival material.
Georgoussis is one of the few Greek photographers who continue to collaborate systematically with the largest fashion and art magazines. His work spans the heyday of print publications and the transition from analog photography and film to the uninterrupted flow of digital images – a change that radically reshaped the aesthetics and vocabulary of the entire fashion industry.
The starting point of the exhibition is his ongoing research into the creation of the image and the role of the photographer in an era of content overproduction. In contrast to this frenetic reality, Georgoussis’ practice is based on a more contemplative rhythm: few but carefully considered shots, focusing on observation, simplicity and the essence of things.
Especially for the exhibition, he creates a participatory installation that offers the public the opportunity to see the background of the process, bringing into dialogue his personal objects, technical equipment and his experimentations. Finally, a bilingual edition (Greek, English), designed by Marlon Tate, will be released.

Exhibition: Constantin Brancusi Photographs
Following the major retrospective dedicated to Constantin Brancusi (1876–1957) at the Centre Pompidou, Paris last year, Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Marais presents a selection of the Romanian artist’s photographic work, spanning 1906 to 1938. Brancusi’s photography was an integral part of his artistic practice and evolved alongside his sculpture from early in his career. In 1956, he bequeathed his entire studio to the French State, including a number of his photographs, which were notably the subject of a focused exhibition running alongside the artist’s first retrospective in France, also held at the Centre Pompidou in 1995.
Crystallising his artistic vision, photography was essential to Brancusi’s practice. The artist began experimenting with the medium following his arrival in Paris in 1904, whereupon he immersed himself in the contemporaneous photographic and cinematographic avant-gardes. He befriended numerous photographers including Edward Steichen, Alfred Stieglitz and Man Ray, who helped him set up a dark room in his studio. Brancusi notably accompanied Steichen to take nocturnal shots of Rodin’s Balzac sculpture – a formative event that fostered his experimental approach to photography.
Brancusi used photography as a potent documentary tool that supported his sculpting practice. As such, the exhibition offers an invaluable insight into the remarkable development of his oeuvre, from a 1906 photograph of a naturalist bronze bust of a child – a central motif that would evince his radical purification of sculptural form – which he created whilst studying at the Beaux-Arts de Paris to outdoor shots of his monumental sculptural ensemble at Târgu Jiu in Romania (1937–38), which would become a UNESCO world heritage site. Some of his sculptures survive only as photographic likenesses, as epitomised by Woman Looking into a Mirror (1909–14), on view in the exhibition, which Brancusi would radically rework into the eminent sculpture Princesse X (1915–16; Centre Pompidou, Paris), his phallic portrait of psychoanalyst Marie Bonaparte.
