In a spirit of openness, excitement, freedom, curiosity and non-conformity, the nineteenth century pioneers of photography experimented with the technological and visual potential of the medium. They tested various methods and processes, but these were far from fully developed. Innovators with different backgrounds and from a variety of disciplines were looking for the best ways to capture the world. Taking pleasure in the making of images, and with a similar drive for experimentation, these early photographers shared a common mentality with many artists today.<\/p>\n<p>The contemporary artists selected for the exhibition\u00a0<em>Back to the Future<\/em>\u00a0all use the foundations of photography: light, darkroom and chemistry, but in a non-traditional way. Each artist honours the history of the medium of photography by experimentally re-inventing it. The image is considered a material object with its own texture regardless of whether it is an analogue or digital object.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Commisioned by Foam Artists Back to the Future\u00a0juxtaposes the work created by contemporary artists with the work of some of [&hellip;]\n&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/2018\/01\/back-to-the-future-the-19th-century-within-the-21st-century\/\">>>><\/a><\/a>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-curating"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1606"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1606\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1998,"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1606\/revisions\/1998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kimknoppers.nl\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
