Huis Marseille has been offering a varied exhibition program in which photography's rich history and diverse uses are given consideration. The museum provides a view of the 'landscape' taking shape in photography; it presents photographers, artists and forms of photography which do justice to visual quality and which can be counted among the medium's major, but also lesser known, highlights. This stands in contrast to the profusion of photography as a mass medium. The unique structure of this house plays a significant role. Each of the fourteen exhibition spaces has its own specific character. The building still has the atmosphere of a 'gentleman's residence', but its rooms have now become galleries. A sense of warmth and intimacy has remained. Huis Marseille strives to make the visitor feel welcome in these home-like surroundings.

Save the date! 🌀

From 24 October, Huis Marseille will be showing Belongings (Ce qui nous appartient), the first solo exhibition in the Netherlands by the French-Algerian artist Maya Inès Touam.

In recent years, Maya Inès Touam مايا إينيس توام has created remarkable, visually striking tableaus in which elements from different times, cultures, art movements and religions come together in a finely balanced way. Her compositions address contemporary themes that are close to the artist’s heart, allowing myths and masterpieces to find echoes in the present.

How David Alekhuogie navigates the colonial past

In 1935, Walker Evans photographed hundreds of African sculptures for African Negro Art, a landmark exhibition at MoMA in New York. Decades later, the Met revisited Evans’s tightly cropped photographs in Perfect Documents: Walker Evans and African Art, 1935.

But what do these photographs reveal, and what do they leave out, about the relationship between African art and twentieth-century modernism?

In A Reprise, David Alekhuogie reworks Evans’s photographs into vibrant collages, questioning the legacy of authorship and the ways African art has been framed through Western perspectives. Drawing on the musical idea of a reprise, a return and repetition, Alekhuogie revisits ideas of Black antiquity and challenges the boundaries between original and copy, art and archive.

What if a dress could speak for you?

For Martine Gutierrez, these garments hold memories of femininity, identity and becoming. Passed down by women in her life, they carry the marks of time, mended hems, missing sequins, careful repairs.

In Wunderkind, the dresses become stand-ins for the body: intimate self-portraits without a body in sight.

Coming soon! Huis Marseille will introduce the Netherlands to the work of Andrzej Steinbach

Early on in his career Steinbach developed his own visual language, with meticulously planned compositions and almost Spartan settings. The exhibition title Hier (Here) can be read as an invitation: his works are gestures of showing. Their austerity helps to isolate patterns, whether these concern small details or larger social structures, and creates space to consider the mechanisms behind the act of looking.

Steinbach treats seeing itself as an aesthetic problem. Rather than resolving it, his art gives the problem a form that can be admired, so that it can be attended to elsewhere.

Spanish photographer Cristina de Middel reimagines the journey through Mexico to the US as a magical quest

Combining documentary photography with staged images, found objects and archival material, she creates a layered narrative of a journey that is both heroic and deeply human. For years, de Middel travelled alongside migrants on the train known as “the Beast”, speaking with coyotes, sicarios and police officers. From Tapachula on Mexico’s southern border to Felicity, California, the self-proclaimed “Center of the World”, the journey reveals the realities and consequences of migration and border control.

Is an artist born or made? For any child, understanding the mystery of existence is a homecoming.

For Martine Gutierrez, whose differences were expected to fit rigid cultural norms, toys became avatars, offering an imaginative refuge and a space to explore individuality through play. Gutierrez now turns to the Renaissance figures she was once compared to. In Vitruvian Woman, Leonardo’s ideal male body becomes her own. In The Creation, her contemporary reinterpretation of Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam, she takes the place of Adam, while her mother’s outstretched hand becomes the hand of God, an intimate dialogue between artist and creator.

Through photography, performance and self-representation, Wunderkind traces the space between who we are, who we are expected to be, and who we might become.

Just two more weeks to see Wunderkind by Martine Gutierrez at Huis Marseille.

Alejandro Cartagena: travelling between art and social criticism

Through major series such as Suburbia Mexicana, Carpoolers, Los Americanos, Suburban Bus and Rivers of Power, the catalogue presents a coherent and deeply critical body of work that examines the transformation of territory, housing, mobility, borders, labour and the climate crisis within the context of contemporary capitalism.

Cartagena’s practice is characterized by his use of seriality, accumulation and the archive as tools for constructing complex visual narratives, moving beyond the single image and traditional documentary photography. His photographs reveal the structures of power that shape the urban and social landscape, as well as the human and environmental consequences of these processes. Profusely illustrated, the catalogue offers a comprehensive overview of an artistic practice that understands photography as a space for analysis, critical memory and the construction of collective meaning.
