In the contemporary photo world, “photography by women” has become a genre in and of itself—the term embodies the nexus of feminism and capitalism aimed at selling art, the common denominator of which is precisely its lack of specificity and boldness of vision, relying almost exclusively on identity…

Music as Material and Metaphor at Hamburger Bahnhof
This article is part of our feature topic Scale. The focus on music in this year’s programming at the Hamburger Bahnhof is indicative of a larger trend that has been going on for a number of years, but has really picked up momentum in the last 15 or so.
