ISSP atklāj jaunu telpu fotogrāfijai Rīgā / ISSP to open a new photography space in Riga

16. februārī Rīgā, Berga Bazārā, ar poļu fotogrāfa Rafala Milaha izstādi “Džentelmeņu pirmais maršs” (The First March of Gentlemen) durvis vērs jauna, biedrības ISSP veidota fotogrāfijas medijam veltīta telpa. Tā būs mājvieta Latvijā vienīgajai laikmetīgās fotogrāfijas izstāžu zālei - ISSP Galerijai, kā arī vieta lekcijām, diskusijām un plašai izglītības programmai.

ISSP Galerijas programmā likts uzsvars uz fotogrāfiju kā laikmetīgās mākslas neatņemamu sastāvdaļu. Tiks izstādīti gan Latvijas, gan ārvalstu mākslinieku darbi, kas izmanto fotogrāfiju kā konceptuālu rīku, vienlaikus aktualizējot sabiedrībā nozīmīgas tēmas. 2018. gada izstāžu programmā iekļauti mākslinieki Aleksandrs Gronskis (Krievija), Džeisons Fulfords (ASV), Maija Anniki Savolainena (Somija) un citi. Galerija kalpos par platformu arī Latvijas fotogrāfijas autoriem, atbalstot jaunu darbu veidošanu.

On February 16th, in Riga, ISSP is opening a new space dedicated to contemporary photography in the Bergs Bazaar, Riga, launching with Rafal Milach's exhibition "The First March of Gentlemen". It will be home to the ISSP Gallery, as well as a place for lectures, discussions and a broad educational program.

The ISSP Gallery programme will focus on photography as an integral part of contemporary art. The gallery will host exhibitions by both Latvian and foreign artists who use photography as a conceptual tool, at the same time exploring themes that are important for society. The 2018 exhibition program includes artists Alexander Gronsky (Russia), Jason Fulford (USA), Maija Anniki Savolainen (Finland) and others. The gallery will serve as a platform for Latvian photographers, supporting the creation of new works.
