José M. Rodrigues, born as José Manuel dos Santos Rodrigues (Lisbon, 4 May 1951), is a contemporary Portuguese-Dutch photographer and visual artist. He lives and works since 1993 in Évora, Portugal, after more than twenty years living and working in the Netherlands.

Life and work

Born in Portugal and raised in turbulent times under the rule of António de Oliveira Salazar, Rodrigues fled abroad in 1968 when all the men had to fight in the army to retain Angola and Moçambique as colonies of Portugal.[1][2] He lived in Paris, France, in 1968/1969, and in the Netherlands between 1969 and 1993. He studied photography in the Netherlands, in The Hague (1975–80) and in Apeldoorn (1975-1979), at De School voor Fotografie, and took a video course at the Santbergen Institute in Hilversum (1989). Rodrigues has two children (born 1975 and 1979).

Rodrigues was the co-founder of Perspektief - Art Foundation, and responsible for programming the exhibitions of the gallery. He was a member of the GKF, the present DuPho, and the Amsterdam Arts Council between 1987 and 1992.

Rodrigues taught photography at several institutions and national and foreign schools (Rotterdam, Porto, Évora, Caldas de Rainha). In 2007 and 2008 he was visiting professor at the Master in Visual Arts from the IADE in Lisbon. Since 2009 he is the invited assistant professor in the Department of Visual Arts at the University of Évora. In addition, he often has exhibitions and gives many lectures by invitation.

Architecture

He also collaborated in particular with the architects Herman Hertzberger, S. Soeters, Mecanoo architekten, CePeZed (Jan Pesman), Ger C. Bout, Carlos Castanheira, João Pedro Falcão and Alvaro Siza.

Perspektief

José M. Rodrigues was co-founder of Perspektief - Arts Association, and responsible for programming the exhibitions of their gallery.[3]

In the early 1980s photography in Europe is in the doldrums just as there arises a collective called Perspektief. A movement, a project, a gallery, a magazine: in Perspektief everything is different, and all is a lot. José M. Rodrigues is the coordinator of the gallery and the associated first issue of the magazine that comes out in March 1980. Revolutionary is the idea to start renting out photography. This did not work, but it was a great idea.

For twenty years Perspektief is a huge success. On the one hand rebellious by the break with academic institutions such as the GKF, an elite group of photographers, and on the other hand taken under the wing by among others the municipality of Rotterdam and the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport. Perspektief grows and does well and only loses its reason for being with the creation of the Nederlandse Fotoarchief (Dutch Photo Archive) in 1990, also in Rotterdam.
