ISSP International Masterclass 2016/2017 Final exhibition / Noslēguma izstāde
28.10 - 19.11.2017
Kuldīgas Mākslas nams, 1905.gada iela 6
We cordially invite all photography lovers to see the final works of the participants of the second ISSP International Masterclass! 20 photographers from 13 countries worked on long-term projects under the guidance of experienced mentors, meeting on feedback sessions in Kuldīga and Sicily. At the end of the final workshop in Kuldīga, the participants for the first time present the photography series, installations, books and video works created during the year. The works represent two distinctly different areas - the participants of the masterclass "Conceptualising the Personal" led by Phillip Toledano (US) create intimate and emotional stories based on personal experiences, whilst the participants of the masterclass "Photographing the Past" led by Simon Norfolk (UK) are offering interpretations of often ambiguous aspects of individual and collective history.
Aicinām aplūkot otrās ISSP Starptautiskās meistarklases 2016/2017 noslēgumu darbu izstādi! Gada garumā meistarklases dalībnieki - 20 fotogrāfi no 13 pasaules valstīm - veidoja ilgtermiņa projektus pasaulē atzītu ekspertu vadībā, pētot sev interesējošās parādības vai tēmas un tiekoties darba sesijās Kuldīgā un Sicīlijā. Noslēdzoties pēdējai meistarklases darbnīcai, dalībnieki pirmo reizi prezentē gada laikā radītās fotogrāfiju sērijas, instalācijas, grāmatas un video darbus. Darbi pārstāv divas atšķirīgas interešu sfēras - dziļi personiski projekti (darbnīca "Konceptualizējot personisko" Filipa Toledano vadībā), kur autori radīja intīmus un emocionālus stāstus, balstoties savā personiskajā pieredzē, un vēstures interpretācijas (darbnīca "Fotogrāfējot pagātni" Saimona Norfolka vadībā), kur autori pievērsās dažādām, bieži neviennozīmīgām personiskās un kolektīvās pagātnes šķautnēm.
