"Presenting approximately 350 B/W and colour prints by Salomon, Weegee, Galella, Quinn, Angeli, Secchiaroli, Pigozzi and Newton, the exhibition presents the forerunners and central figures of the “classic” period of Paparrazi Photography—and provides a visual commentary about the evolution of this phenomenon. The exhibition offers an overview and critical look at the history of a photographic genre dedicated to fame and sensationalism. A genre that continues to feed the Yellow Press with exclusive reports on the comings and goings of the jet set in order to push the sales of their publications ever higher."

‘MIND THE GAP’ is the warning announcement to passengers getting on and off the London underground. It refers to the gap between the train and the platform, but it could mean more than taking care not to stumble. The transition encompasses different places, times and social constellations. Constant change, abrupt transitions and radical upheavals have become everyday events in our speeded-up times. Permanent reorientation constitutes a significant challenge in contemporary life. It can be experienced as an opportunity, but also as a source of existential insecurity. The exhibition takes such transitional situations as its subject and at the same time reflects the current situation of Kunsthaus Glarus which finds itself, with its change of curator, in a phase between continuity and change. Metaphorically, the works reveal confusing scenic, spatial, perspectival and, not least, existential breaks. The photographs, videos, film works, installations and performances prompt moments of bewilderment, staging volatile transitions and assembling them into new, coherent and yet broken images. They seek to play with spatial and temporal dimensions, inside and outside, reality and reflection, habit and uncertainty, nostalgia and progression. Time and again the viewer is stripped of a supposedly certain perspective. Real and mental spaces blur and form reflective spaces between reality and fiction, which encourage viewers to scrutinise their own vantage-points in ambivalent situations.
