註釋An extraordinary selection of work by Canadian photographer Jeff Wall (b. Vancouver, 1946), one of today's leading international artists, opens at the Stedelijk Museum on March 1, 2014. Encompassing nearly 40 works, the exhibition surveys Wall's oeuvre since 1996. presents recent work in color and black and white, and features the new, previously unseen diptych 'Summer Afternoons' (2013). It is the first major photography exhibition to be presented at the Stedelijk following its reopening in 2012. Since the 1980s, Wall has produced critically acclaimed work in the form of color transparencies backlit by fluorescent light strips and presented in lightboxes. He was one of the first artists to make photographs on a large scale. The standard lightbox was created for the primary purpose of outdoor advertising. In Wall's work, this medium became a platform for his figurative tableaux, street scenes and interiors, landscapes and cityscapes. Wall explores themes such as the relationships between men and women and the boundary between metropolis and nature. He offers social commentary on violence and cultural miscommunication, and conjures seductive nightmarish fantasies and personal memories. These scenes provide the basis for photographic reconstructions of Wall's experience. They derive their inherent suspense from a combination of extreme realism and sometimes elaborate artifice.
