Over het MAI

Het Maria Austria Instituut (MAI) verzamelt en exploiteert fotoarchieven van bijzondere kwaliteit van fotografen die een uitgesproken band met Amsterdam hebben. Het MAI doet dat om het werk van de fotografen blijvend deel uit te laten maken van het visuele erfgoed van ons land.

In samenwerking met het Stadsarchief Amsterdam worden de archieven bewaard, beheerd en, waar mogelijk, gedigitaliseerd. Het MAI brengt de archieven onder de aandacht van het publiek en organiseert presentaties, tentoonstellingen, boeken en educatieve activiteiten.

Het MAI is een cultureel ondernemer zonder structurele subsidie en is niet gericht op het maken van winst. Het MAI financiert zijn activiteiten deels door foto's uit haar archieven te exploiteren. De fotografen en hun nabestaanden staan tenminste de helft van hun auteursrechtvergoeding af om de missie van MAI te kunnen realiseren. Incidentele bijdragen vullen het budget aan.

AgfaPhoto Vista Plus 400

AgfaPhoto Vista Plus 400 is wel zo’n beetje de gemakkelijkst verkrijgbare 35-mm film momenteel. Gewoon te vinden bij het Kruidvat en dat soort winkels voor een normale prijs. En de film is uiteindelijk prima, zie foto’s onder en boven. Camera: Olympus AZ-330 Superzoom.

All Advertisements in Vain (1965)

GHDI:
During the 1960s, young people experimented with new types of lifestyles and experiences. In doing so, however, they encountered consistent opposition and attacks from members of the older generation and representatives of the state. These self-appointed champions of traditional conceptions of order polemicized against Beat music, “bums,” long hair on boys, and pants and short skirts on girls. This ironic photograph features a long-haired young man sitting in front of a traditional barber shop. Photo by Günter Zint.

GHDI:
Starting in 1952, the section of East Berlin’s Karl-Marx-Allee between Strausberger Platz and Frankfurter Tor was transformed into a grand, representative avenue in the style of Socialist Classicism; it was modeled on the Stalinist architecture of the Soviet Union. Beginning in the mid-1950s, two factors converged – Soviet-sponsored de-Stalinization and new economic imperatives – to force a change from manual to industrial building in the GDR, and this eventually allowed for the cautious realization of a certain brand of architectural modernism that had been frowned upon up to that point. Starting in 1959, the section of Karl-Marx-Allee that runs east from Alexanderplatz to Strausberger Platz was lined with imposing buildings made from prefabricated slabs. Work proceeded according to a plan submitted by Edmund Collein and Werner Dutschke. The architecture of Karl-Marx-Alle was also shaped in large part by Josef Kaiser, who designed “Kino International” [“Cinema International”] and the 13-story “Hotel Berolina,” both of which can be seen below.

Secretary with a New Typewriter (1961)

GHDI:
Secretary with a New Typewriter (1961)

The development of a service economy (and the accompanying erosion of the industrial sector) began in the 1960s, but only fully asserted itself from the 1970s onward. Office technology was long dominated by innovative electronic typewriters – this is, at least until they were gradually replaced by even more efficient computers. This photo shows a pert secretary with a new IBM typeball typewriter. Photographer unknown.

About GHDI:
German History in Documents and Images (GHDI) is a comprehensive collection of original historical materials documenting German history from the beginning of the early modern period to the present. The project comprises ten sections, each of which addresses a discrete period in Germany's history. Each section has been compiled by one or two leading scholars and includes:

an introduction to key developments in Germany's social, political, and cultural history during the period;

a selection of primary source documents (in German and English) originating from the period;

a selection of images originating from or relating to the period;

a selection of relevant maps.

Each section addresses the following subjects: Government and Administration; Parties and Organizations; Military and War; Economy and Labor; Nature and Environment; Gender, Family, and Generations; Region, City, and Countryside; Religion; Literature, Art, and Music; Elite and Popular Cultures; and Science and Education. All of the materials can be accessed through keyword and author searches. Advanced options also allow searches to be limited and refined. Many of the documents included in this project are difficult to locate in print publications, especially outside of Germany. All of the German-language documents included in GHDI are accompanied by contemporary English translations, almost all of which were commissioned for the project. GHDI also offers new access to a range of historically significant visual images, many of which will be unfamiliar to viewers.
