Roger Ballen

Visitors to MGA will remember Roger Ballen's 2009 exhibition Brutal, tender, human, animal as one of the most the compelling and confronting exhibitions seen at the gallery.

A survey of Ballen's work is now on show at the Münchner Stadtmuseum in Munich until the end of February 2011 Munich.

Roger Ballen Photography 1969 - 2009 includes works from his series Boyhood as well as previously unpublished photographs taken during the years 1969-1973. Also included are works from Boarding House published in 2009, Outland (2001), Shadow Chamber (2005) and the series Asylum which is exhibited at the Münchner Stadtmuseum for the very first time.
