Until early next year Anthony McCall light project Crossing the Elbe will be on view in Hamburg. The project visualizes the "leap across the Elbe" in symbolic terms. Three searchlights project slender beams of white light towards one another from three different locations, from the roof of the Spiegel building next to Deichtorhallen in Hamburg Neustadt, from the Energiebunker in Wilhelmsburg, and from the Falckenberg Collection in Hamburg-Harburg. Thus, Elbe island Wilhelmsburg is linked both to the north as well as the south bank of the river. In the course of one year, the angles of these three horizontal beams of light will gradually rotate so that, one by one, all parts of the city will be incorporated in this symbolic leap.Starting ninety minutes after sunset, Crossing the Elbe is visible for 20 minutes every evening between the Deichtorhallen Hamburg and the Falckenberg Collection.Commissioned by the Deichtorhallen Hamburg, Germany.

Mitch Epstein's new book "New York Arbor" will be released at Steidl in April 2013. The series of photographs (2011/12) examines extraordinary trees in New York City’s five boroughs. The photographs were exhibited by Galerie Thomas Zander, Cologne in 2012/13 and will be on show at Fondation A Stichting in Brussels, Belgium from April 20 until Juni 30 2013. The book will be published in English and has 96 pages.

The exhibition "Max Regenberg. Der Gebrauch der Landschaft" at the Städtische Galerie in Wolfsburg, Germany will be opened on March 3 2013. It is the largest solo show at a museum that presents the important oeuvre of the German artist. Since the 1970s, Regenberg has been photographing billboard posters in the public urban space. What above all interests the artist in doing so is the coincidental constellations of architecture, poster content and surroundings. They are contemporary witnesses and memory banks and also show the cultural and political consciousness of society. The presentation is shown until October 27.
