Raúl Cañibano: Human Landscapes
26 January – 7 April 2024

Human Landscapes brings together early and recent works by Raúl Cañibano (b.1961, Havana). Showcasing images taken over three decades, this exhibition celebrates Cañibano’s profound love for his native Cuba.

Cañibano’s large, open-ended photographic essays explore the complexity of urban and rural life in Cuba. Taking an anthropological approach, he documents a way of life that he believes will soon vanish. Having traveled extensively across the country, often living with his subjects for months at a time, Cañibano offers an intimate and nuanced perspective on the island’s identity. Human Landscapes provides a window into Cañibano’s Cuba, from the small farming communities of his childhood to the exuberance of Havana and the Malecón.

28 February – 26 May 2024 / MEP, Paris

ICONIC AVEDON: A Centennial Celebration of Richard Avedon
January 22–March 2, 2024

Photography for me has always been a sort of double-sided mirror. The one side reflecting my subject, the other reflecting myself.
—Richard Avedon

Gagosian is pleased to announce Iconic Avedon: A Centennial Celebration of Richard Avedon, at the gallery on rue de Ponthieu, Paris, from January 22 to March 2, 2024. The exhibition marks the centenary of Avedon’s birth in May 1923. Often attributed to his photographs, the word iconic applies equally to their maker, and is used here to illuminate his exceptional influence on culture today.

SAGE SOHIER / PASSING TIME
Feb. 17 – Apr. 27, 2024

The show will run from February 17th – April 27th, with a reception and book signing with the artist from 5-7pm, on Saturday the 17th of February.  This will be the artist’s second solo exhibition at the gallery.

The images that comprise the exhibition are drawn from the photographer’s compelling and kindhearted portraits made between 1979-85 of people living in working class and ethnic neighborhoods in her hometown, as well as in the towns she visited each summer during her annual road trips through the eastern and southern regions of the country.  The exhibition will showcase both a selection of vintage gelatin silver prints, as well as 16 x 20 inch modern gelatin silver prints, which are the result of the photographer revisiting her archive of negatives and contact sheets from the early 1980s where she discovered a trove of captivating images that had never been printed.  Of the work, Sohier observes, “ I noticed a kind of relaxed sensuality in many of the pictures. A kind of theater of the streets emerged”.
