Are you in Belgium? Don't miss out the exhibition 'Primordial Earth: Inhabiting the Landscape' by the artist Léonard Pongo, who joined our platform in 2019. You can visit the show until March 21st at BOZAR in Brussels.

By exploring the diversity of landscapes in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Léonard Pongo offers an allegorical imagery of the country. Imbued with a sense of magical beauty and mystical power, the landscape seen through his eyes becomes a setting to rebuild the self, and the earth becomes the source of an awareness from which tradition, philosophy and conceptions of the universe emerge. For Léonard Pongo, exploring the environment, as well as sensory experience, are pathways to an emerging vision of the world – it is by becoming one with the landscape that it becomes possible to engage with life.

Drawing inspiration from Congolese traditions and Kasaian cultures, Primordial Earth: Inhabiting the Landscape presents the landscape as a character with its own will and power, like an open book that tells the story of humanity and the planet, with Congo at its centre.

ASSEMBLY #1 - Launch of the Exhibition RESET with Salvatore Vitale, Garry Loughlin, Dávid Biró, Ana Zibelnik and Julie Poly
Organized by Futures Photography
Oct. 6 (Tuesday), 4pm

ASSEMBLY #2 - On Adaptation and Production (with Lewis Bush and Aisling Murray)
Organized by PhotoIreland Festival
Oct. 8 (Thursday), 4pm
In his article ‘What protective measures can you think of so we don’t go back to the pre-crisis production model?’ (published in Versopolis on 24th April, 2020), Bruno Latour proposes 6 key questions that are useful for individuals, artists, cultural producers, and institutions to ask of themselves. PhotoIreland invites Lewis Bush (artist, educator) and Aisling Murray (Exhibitions Manager, Science Gallery Dublin) to take inspiration from these questions in order to review our shared inventory of our positions as we emerge into a post-pandemic world. What can we learn from the pandemic? What can we dispose of? What can we gain? How can we evolve so our work and our institutions don’t become obsolete? Should we interrupt our current modes of production?

ASSEMBLY #4 - Talk with Igiaba Scego and Nicola Lo Calzo
Organized by CAMERA
Oct. 13 (Tuesday), 4pm
Starting from their related research and experiences, the writer Igiaba Scego (Rome, 1974) and the artist Nicola Lo Calzo (Turin, 1976) will discuss crucial topics like decolonization, representation and power in the contemporary cultural scenario. Commonly grounded in the fields of post-colonial and critical studies, their researches appear as textual and visual attempts of re-reading the African diaspora, not only in the historical colonial contexts but also from the perspective of its heritage in the Western countries and cultures. Based in Rome, Scego is an Italian writer, journalist, and activist of Somalian origin who published books and international articles related to the above mentioned topics mixed with autobiographical dynamics. Nicola Lo Calzo is an Italian photographer based in Paris. He is developing Cham, a long period visual research about the colonial slavery and its consequences in ordinary life.

ASSEMBLY #5 - Talk with Tanya Kapitonova, Rafal Milach and Yulia Krivich
Organized by The Calvert Journal
Oct. 15 (Thursday), 4pm
Responding to the festival's theme of RESET, Liza Premiyak, Managing Editor of The Calvert Journal, will moderate a conversation with the photographers Tanya Kapitonova (Belarus), Rafal Milach (Poland) and Yulia Krivich (Ukraine) — whose past projects have tackled protest imagery and activism in their respective homes. With the rise of so-called “performative activism”, we believe this will be a timely debate that will encourage artists to think beyond what we know protest imagery to be.

Organized by Capa Center
Oct. 24 (Saturday), 5pm
Online round table discussion accompanied by a slideshow showcasing the work of three contemporary artists dealing with the topic of intensive animal farming, cattle breeding in particular. The three authors are using cow as a metaphor to people’s desire for domination of natural phenomena which often result in weird situations and unnatural processes within industrial livestock production. Two emerging artists from the younger generation, Hungarian artist Dániel Szalai (Futures talent of the Capa Center) and German photographer Manuela Barunmüller (Futures talent of the Triennial of Photography Hamburg) will be joined by renowned Dutch photographer Hans van der Meer, who also published a book titled Time to Change on this topic. The conversation is mediated by the curator István Virágvölgyi.

ASSEMBLY #10 - Resetting photography: Can Photography be a tool of changes? Workshop by Karolina Gembara (Sputnik Photos)
Organized by Fotofestiwal Lodz
Oct. 27 (Tuesday), 4pm
Photography is many things. In my lecture I propose to reset our thinking and consider its very basic quality - its toolness. What does it do? What do I do with it? How can I utilise it? Can I make any change using my camera? Can this change be good? Going over several examples of the so-called activist photography, engaged projects, participatory programmes and her own practise, Karolina Gembara would like to discuss how the medium we use could become an extension of democratic and inclusive processes. She will also try to reflect on the anthropological burdens and privilege traps photographers should pay attention to while working with ‘sensitive’ topics. During the meeting, we will have an opportunity to bounce off some ideas and questions with an invited guest - an expert working with excluded communities.
*This event has a longer duration of around 2 hours

ASSEMBLY #11 - Sandrine Colard in conversation with Léonard Pongo
Organized by FOMU
Oct. 29 (Thursday), 4pm
Within Africa and its worldwide diasporas, the photographic medium has a long history of violence and abuse. Images of slavery, lynching, ethnographic “curiosities,” colonialism, apartheid and land exploitations, have contributed to subjugate the pictured subject, but also, to awaken viewers to the represented injustices. 2020 has symbolized the epitome of that power of indignation, with the video of George Floyd’s murder igniting a worldwide outrage demanding racial justice. Yet, the place of beauty in photographs of black lives, their homes and environments, have less readily been perceived and circulated as a legitimate and powerful means of resistance, or has sometimes been suspected of aestheticizing tragedy or suffering. This roundtable invites an artist who make a resolute use of beauty in his practice as an amendment for the underrepresentation in black everydayness, milieu, or history.

In The Expos, we present our talents' work in two online exhibitions. The shows will be hosted by Fotomat, available from the 5th to the 31st of October.

RESET

Hosted by  and curated by Salvatore Vitale, the expo RESET investigates our main theme with projects by seven artists from our platform: Julie Poly, Ela Polkowska, Eva O'Leary, Garry Loughlin, Sanne De Wilde, Dávid Biró, and Ana Zibelnik.

2020 will likely be remembered as one of the most tumultuous years in modernity. The process it started is still ongoing and may be a catalyst for general changes that were already underway. This takes the connotation of a reset which is leading human beings to re-think the basis of their positions in the world through a process able to place creativity and free-thinking as cornerstones to foster pragmatic processes. Taking these processes as a starting point, we ask ourselves how contemporary artists and thinkers have impacted and reacted to social tensions through their often personal visions, strategies of isolation, and forms of self-organisation, regrouping, and dispersion. ⁠
⁠
The exhibition RESET features the work of seven artists who, in- and within their differentiated and multi-layered practices, offer plural methods and visions to address some key issues and stories concerning modernity.

You can access the exhibition here.

FUTURES TALENTS 2020

The programme of exhibitions also presents the showcase Futures Talents 2020, which introduces our 59 emerging artists of this year. The online show has been curated by trying to answer the question ‘What are emerging artists in Europe talking about today?’. Identities, territories, spirituality, physicality and memory are some of the topics that have arisen from the talents' works.

You can access the exhibition here.

In October, we invite you to join our talents online with the Futures Digital Festival: RESET. Every year, our platform organizes a main event with our artists and members. For 2020, this will take the form of a virtual festival with talks, exhibitions and other online activities.

So far, 2020 has presented many challenges and will likely be remembered as one of the most tumultuous years in modernity. But how will this year shift the way we produce and experience art? How are the artists dealing with this time of change?

Co-funded by Creative Europe and designed by Vandejong Creative Agency, the Futures Digital Festival brings together our 12 members and all the artists who have joined our platform since 2018. ⁠Under the theme RESET, the programme focuses on discussing these changes we are facing nowadays and how art is responding to them.

From the 5th to the 31st of October, the festival unfolds into five main programmes: The Expos, The Assembly, The Conversations, The Open Mic, and The Studio Visit.

For The Expos, we present our talents in two online exhibitions. Powered by Fotomat and curated by Salvatore Vitale, the expo RESET investigates our main theme with the projects by seven artists from our platform: Julie Poly, Ela Polkowska, Eva O'Leary, Garry Loughlin, Sanne De Wilde, Dávid Biró, and Ana Zibelnik.

The programme of expos also presents the showcase Futures Talents 2020, which introduces our 59 emerging artists of this year. The online show has been curated by trying to answer the question ‘What are emerging artists in Europe talking about today?’. Identities, territories, spirituality, physicality and memory are some of the topics that have arisen from the talents' works.

During The Assembly, our Futures members organize a series of talks with art professionals in topics related to the main theme RESET. The assemblies take place online, via Zoom and streamed on our social media channels. The full programme of talks will be released in the upcoming weeks.

The Conversations is a private event in which we invite a group of professionals and our talents for a series of portfolio review and coaching sessions.

The Open Mic is also a private activity, when our talents can present their ongoing projects in an online space with artists and other professionals from the industry.

Finally, The Studio Visit programme is an online activity organized by Futures and curated by Marina Paulenka. Once a week, the curator presents a virtual online tour of our talents' studios, talking about their inspirations, creative process, and ongoing projects. This activity is mainly exclusive to VIPs and guests.

Belgium bursts with photographic talent that asks to be seen. Since 2012, FOMU has been selecting ten of the very best of the up-and-coming image makers of Belgium every year for the .tiff magazine, which has since grown into an international platform.

The project is part of Futures. And the nominated talents also join our platform: Laure Cottin Stefanelli, Etienne Courtois, David Denil, Katherine Longly, Renée Lorie, Sebastian Steveniers, Wiktoria Synak, Florine Thiebaud, Pierre Vanneste en Sybren Vanoverberghe.

Besides the magazine, their work is also being exhibited in a show at FOMU. You can visit the exhibition until February 21.

The Futures Talents nominated by PHotoESPAÑA this year will be presented in a collective exhibition within the festival’s main programme in Madrid. Curated by Ana Berruguete, the show will bring together works from five emerging artist from September 17th to January 24th at the Círculo de Bellas Artes.

Every year, PHotoESPAÑA nominates five talents to our platform. The artists selected for this year are: Bernardita Morello (Buenos Aires, 1984), Mar Sáez (Murcia, 1983), Ire Lenes (Madrid, 1981), Ruth Montiel Arias (A Coruna, 1977) and Jon Gorospe (Vitoria, 1986).

In 2020, PHotoESPAÑA is hosting one of its most unique editions. The exceptional situation around the world caused by the coronavirus health crisis has prompted substantial changes in all areas of our lives, including changes in the way we live and interact, which the festival is experiencing as well.

Despite having been hatched under exceptional circumstances, the 23rd edition of PHotoESPAÑA, which will last through 31 October this year and encompass almost all of Spain, will focus on important digital projects. The programme include activities online and offline.

What is hidden behind the need to collect, own and catalogue photographs? Can collecting become an obsession? What is the value of the photographs we want to keep with us? If you wish to experience culture outside the internet, Fotofestiwal invites you to Lodz between 6 and 23 August. The festival programme will focus on truly exceptional, original, bold photographic collections. This year, the exhibitions will also be available online.

Thanks to the determination and support of partners, artists and curators, this year’s edition of the International Festival of Photography in Lodz will be held in the post-industrial spaces of Art_Inkubator – two months after the originally planned date – between 6 and 23 August. Due to safety reasons, the programme of the event will focus mainly on exhibitions.  While meetings with the audience will be limited and organised online, there will still be some special events available to visitors. Two exhibitions – one in the Muzeum Sztuki ms1 in Łódź and the other one in the so called Motyl UŁ building (with an unmistakeable butterfly-mural) – will be opened in autumn. The main theme of this year’s exhibitions is collecting as a form of art, habit, passion, and sometimes obsession.

During this year’s edition of Fotofestiwal, we will get to know extraordinary collectors. All of them have been building their unique collections for years, making them very original compilations of photographs, selected based on unconventional criteria and often originating from surprising sources. Thanks to their determination, passion and obsession, they have managed to create inspiring stories about the contemporary society and breakthrough moments in the history of the 20th and 21st centuries. Apart from amateur photography, the collections also include works that have been displayed in prestigious museums around the world and at a number of international festivals. The common denominator of all this year’s exhibitions is that, with one exception, the collectors themselves will become their main narrators and curators.

oo’s & iii’s is a selection of works from two collections of New York curator W.M. Hunt: Dancing Bear, consisting of magical, intriguing photographs of people with their eyes closed, obscured or otherwise invisible, and Blind Pirate, which is a collection of photographs of various groups from before 1950, including American soldiers, workers and students. The emphasis for this show is on abstraction and shape with oo’s being eyes, faces, heads and circles and iii’s representing densely grouped crowds of people, looking like masses of vertical lines. Hunt’s collections, photographs found in a nearby thrift shop appear right next to works by such artists as Diane Arbus or Robert Frank.

Jean-Marie Donat focuses on amateur photos only. He rummages for them at flea markets all over the world, finds them on the Internet and creates compilations which he then releases as self-published photo books. Often, certain recurring motifs can be found in these images: men flexing their muscles, posing with cars, scratched out faces of disliked people, holiday family portraits with a traditional “white bear”. All this makes up a funny and bitter self-portrait of the world in the 20th century.

The last, but not least, element of the international part of the Festival’s main programme will be the Hungarian Fortepan collection, created by Miklós Tamási. This thoughtfully curated collection of photographs by István Virágvölgyi from Robert Capa Center in Budapest is currently one of the most interesting digital archives of vernacular photography that has been made available on the Internet – and it all started with a bag of photographs found in a trashcan. The collection now consists of hundreds of thousands of photographs – retrieved from cellars, garbage bins, antique shops, but also donated by individuals and institutions –

and it has been proving since its very conception that there is a talented artist in every family from the beginning.

The closing exhibition of the Festival programme will be presented in the Museum of Art in Lodz, this time a bit unusually – in the autumn. It is the outstanding collection created for more than 30 years by the well-known French art promoter and merchant Antoine de Galbert, founder of the private La Maison Rouge museum in Paris. His collections contain over three thousand exhibits. Antoine de Galbert is known for his unconventional approach to exhibiting his works. One of his previous exhibitions, The Wall, was made in collaboration with an IT specialist, using the Monte-Carlo method. A randomly generated algorithm selected works solely on the basis of two indicators: image size and inventory number. For Fotofestiwal, Antoine de Galbert prepared a curatorial exhibition titled The Burning House, which shows the contemporary world in crisis. The exhibition will include works by politically and socially engaged artists, including Christian Boltanski, Boris Mikhailov, Jonathan Horowitz, David Goldblatt, Mikhael Subotzky, Yoho Tsuda.

The festival programme will include, as always, the Open Program section (formerly Grand Prix Fotofestiwal) – a result of annual open call and cooperation with an international jury. The projects of the six selected artists present the most interesting and the latest phenomena in contemporary photography. They address such issues as: selfie factories in the USA, Polish migration to the South American countries during the partitions the interwar period, military-themed summer camps for kids in Eastern Europe or the problem of radioactive waste – they present a cross-section of the most interesting and current trends in contemporary photography. This year, works of the following artists will be presented: Jorge Fuembuena, Kata Geibl, Máté Bartha, Marcel Rickli, Katarzyna and Marianna Wąsowska and Sheila Weiler.

In response to the current global economic situation, the organisers decided to reduce the ticket price to a symbolic amount. For safety reasons, parts of the programme involving the audience will be significantly limited and organized online. The programme of this year’s edition encourages you to devote more time to experience the exhibitions and exceptional spaces of unique Lodz.
