William Cordova
Arndt & Partner are presenting works by 1971 born Peruvian artist William Cordova who is based in Miami, Housten and New York.
A room-filling, wooden installation, interspersed with intimate, coloured drawings, is the scenic starting point of Cordova’s project “Pachacuti”, which is his first solo show in Switzerland . Delicate, cryptic drawings on found paper make a picture show torn between the Hip Hop and Inca cultures. Without doubt inspired by his own transcultural background, this personal iconography aims at the profound meaning of landscape, language and history as shaping society.
We look forward to welcoming you and your friends!
With kind regards,
Arndt & Partner Zurich

“Hawaii”
July 27-August 25, 2007
Taka Ishii Gallery is pleased to announce “Hawaii”, our solo exhibition with artist Daido Moriyama. In the late 60s, “Japan, A Photo Theater”, 1968, was published.
Moriyama’s photography has been described as “grainy, out of focus and high-contrast”. Such radical expression defied then present photographic conventions. Since then, he has published “Farewell Photography”, 1972, “Light and Shadow”, 1982, “Daido hysteric”,1993-97, “Shinjuku”, 2002, and others; all works having an enormous impact on the world of photography.
In recent years, Moriyama won the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Photographie (DGPh) award, 2004. Retrospectives include “Daido Moriyama: Stray Dog”, 1999, San Francisco MOMA, U.S.A., “Hunter of Light – Moriyama Daido 1965-2003”, Shimane Art Museum, Japan, “Daido Moriyama”, 2003, Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, France, and “Retrospectiva desde 1965”, 2007, Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporaneo, Spain.
Three years ago, I just desired to photograph Hawaii and make a book.
That was an unexpected inspiration for me. So then – I went to Hawaii five times.
Almost “my Hawaii” will be the photo book.
Hawaii has shaken up a lot of memories, such as the memory of a wave, the memory of a forest, the memory of a rainbow, the memory of stars, and then the memory of darkness….
Daido Moriyama
Hawaii, “I had never felt like sightseeing, had never been interested in it, but I was always concerned with this.”
When Moriyama started shooting, he just decided to“photograph Hawaii in Black and White”, but it seems like a fluctuating perception of a trip to nowhere and a return to Moriyama’s original starting point.
This is the eighth solo exhibition presented by the artist with the gallery, The exhibition will include, 70 new works produced from 2004 to 2007.
Publication：Daido Moriyama Hawaii published by Getsuyousha （available
at the end of July）

Light Falls
June 1 – 30, 2007
Opening reception: Friday, June 1st, 6-9pm
The Jack Hanley Gallery, San Francisco, is pleased to present a solo exhibition of the work of San Francisco-based artist Colter Jacobsen, titled Light Falls. The show will include a number of new drawings and watercolors interspersed with thrift store paintings, found discarded photographs and snapshots, amongst other ephemera.
“Light Falls is a meditation on the nature of drawing, painting, photography, symmetry, seeing, not seeing and memory,” describes Jacobsen. Using water as a metaphor, Jacobsen renders his work in pairs. Culled from his collection of abandoned photographs and other printed matter, he creates sets of meticulously detailed, naturalistic drawings and watercolors one of which is drawn from a source while the other is reflected from the memory of that source. By using anonymous photographs, Jacobsen does not share in the initial memory of the photographed event but rather only in his own memory of the image. The subtle differences in his twinned drawings iterates how, as Jacobsen notes, “the dream of memory gets watered down and changes,” not only over time but merely in the course of moving from the eye to the mind.
Colter Jacobsen was born in 1975 in Ramona, California and lives and works in San Francisco.
His work has been shown in museums and galleries throughout the U.S. and Europe and was recently included in a group exhibition at White Columns in New York.
