LONDON.- Alison Jacques presents an exhibition of work by Austrian artist Birgit Jürgenssen (b.1949; d.2003). Her practice examines women’s interior lives refracted in exterior systems of power.

Sabine Weiss, Times Square, New York, Etats-Unis , 1955. Collection Photo Elysée © Sabine Weiss / Photo Elysée, Lausanne. LAUSANNE.- Photo Elysée is presenting an exhibition in homage to the photographer who died in 2021, and has invited artist Nathalie Boutté (France, 1967) to create a dialogue with her photographs. Sabine Weiss explored every aspect of her profession over more than sixty years, working in turn as a portrait, fashion, advertising and street photographer as well as a photojournalist for numerous international magazines. Along with Robert Doisneau, Willy Ronis, Edouard Boubat, Brassaï and Izis, Weiss contributed to the French humanist photography movement and was one of the few female photographers to make a living from her art from the 1950s onwards. “To be powerful, a photograph must speak to us about some aspect of the human condition, making us feel the emotion the photographer experienced in front of his or her subject” she wrote.

From flappers to gangsters, see the Roaring Twenties in breathtaking color. The 1920s were a strange, fascinating time in Western culture. Also known as the Roaring Twenties or the Jazz Age, it was a time of new technology, more freedom for women, musical innovation, and excess. At the same time, there was a nationwide ban against alcohol in America, an increase in organized crime as a result, and a bit of ironic hindsight, given that the Great Depression followed this extravagant golden age.

BERLIN.- Galerie Max Hetzler is presenting letters home, a solo exhibition of works by Edmund de Waal at Potsdamer Straße 77-87, in Berlin. In his visual art, Edmund de Waal uses objects as vehicles for human narrative, emotion and history. His installations of handmade porcelain vessels, often contained in minimalist structures, investigate themes of diaspora, memory and materiality. His works offer a kind of visual lyrical narration, created through elements such as rhythm and repetition or light and shadow.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
