The Amsterdam branch of Bildhalle is all about photography and photo-based art. No paintings or installations in between, but rooms and walls completely set up for looking at photographs in a concentrated, exhibition-like setting. The gallery is the Dutch branch of the original gallery in Zurich, connecting a Swiss base with a local audience.<\/h2>\n

Founder Mirjam Cavegn built Bildhalle as a commercial gallery with a clear focus: classic and contemporary photography. The Dutch space features work by photographers from the gallery's own stable, often in carefully curated solo exhibitions. For example, the gallery regularly programs solo shows by, among others Casper Faassen, Thomas Hoepker, Pieter Henket, Werner Bischof. Bastiaan Woudt, Tirza Schaap, Ilona Langbroek. Ren\u00e9 Groebli. Paul Cupido. Albarr\u00e1n Cabrera, Adam Jeppesen and Chantal Elisabeth Ari\u00ebns.<\/em><\/p>\n

The exhibitions are designed as complete presentations: series of photographs placed in context, with space for quiet viewing. Around some exhibitions, Bildhalle organizes openings and occasionally artist talks or other events directly linked to a current show. Current listings of current and upcoming exhibitions and events are maintained through the gallery's own channels.<\/p>\n

Outside its own spaces, Bildhalle seeks the public through well-known art fairs where it presents a selection from its photography program each time, allowing both Dutch and international collectors and enthusiasts to follow the artists up close. In this way, the gallery plays a visible role in the field of photography and contemporary visual culture.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
