Hans van Manen (1688 words)
Naast choreograaf is Van Manen ook fotograaf, en is zijn werk internationaal in boekvorm en op tentoonstellingen te zien.
Het stuk ging in première bij het Holland Festival 1995 en werd in hetzelfde jaar ook opgenomen in het Balletgala, dat was opgedragen aan Van Manen en tien van zijn duetten presenteerde.
Maar het is ook het moeilijkste omdat het heel snel niets wordt.
Museum of Contemporary Photography (251 words)
Although Bertien van Manen began her professional career as a fashion photographer, her relationship to the medium changed early on in response to Robert Frank’s influential publication The Americans (1958-9).
She has made it her practice to inhabit the culture she is documenting and, to the best of her ability, live the lives of the people she photographs.
In addition, van Manen’s photographs are held in many permanent collections, including those of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, as well as several European collections.
