No 14. jūnija līdz 19. jūnijam ISSP Galerija piedalās prestižajā mākslas mesē “Photo Basel”, kas norisinās Bāzelē, Šveicē, iepazīstinot apmeklētājus ar Alņa Stakles, Kriša Salmaņa un Sergeja Melnitčenko darbiem. 

Starptautiskā fotomākslas mese “Photo Basel” šoruden Bāzelē pulcē 40 galerijas no 18 pasaules valstīm, kuru vidū ISSP Galerija ir vienīgā Latvijas pārstāve. Kopš “Photo Basel” pirmā pasākuma 2015. gadā, šī mese ir nostiprinājusi savas pozīcijas kā prestižākā vāciski runājošajā reģionā. Sapulcējot atšķirīgas un starptautiskas galerijas, “Photo Basel” veicina dialogu starp fotogrāfijas un mākslas pasaulē iesaistītajiem, uzrunā starptautiskus medijus, vizuālās mākslas ekspertus un kolekcionārus. Tā notiek ievērojamās Art Basel nedēļas laikā.

From June 14 to June 19, the ISSP Gallery participates in the Photo Basel art fair in Basel, Switzerland, representing works by Alnis Stakle, Krišs Salmanis and Sergey Melnitchenko.

Photo Basel is Switzerland’s first and only international art fair dedicated to photography-based art. From its inaugural edition in 2015, Photo Basel has cemented its profile as the most prominent photography fair in the German-speaking region. Bringing together galleries from around the world, the fair fosters a dialogue between members of the photographic and broader art world communities, attracting collectors, visual art experts and international media at a key moment in the annual art world calendar – Art Basel week. This year, Photo Basel welcomes 40 international exhibitors from 18 countries, with Sonia Voss being its artistic director. The ISSP Gallery is honoured to be the only participant from Latvia.

Atbalstītāji / supporters: Valsts Kultūrkapitāla fonds (State Culture Capital Foundation of Latvia), Latvijas Investīciju un attīstības aģentūra (Investment and Development Agency of Latvia) and Groglass.

ISSP Galerija kopš 2020. gada 6. oktobra ir noslēgusi līgumu Nr. SKV-L-2020/80 ar Latvijas Investīciju un attīstības aģentūru par atbalsta saņemšanu pasākuma “Starptautiskās konkurētspējas veicināšana” ietvaros, ko līdzfinansē Eiropas Reģionālās attīstības fonds.

No 23. augusta līdz 24. oktobrim ISSP Galerijā būs skatāma Zanes Priedes izstāde “Marmoleum Real 2mm”, kas balstīta autores personīgajā pieredzē, uzaugot 1990. gadu vidē un estētikā.  Fotogrāfijās attēloti tam laikam raksturīgi priekšmeti un materialitāte, kas bieži vien simbolizē ilgas pēc labākas dzīves un atbrīvošanos no pelēcības, kas piemita padomijas gadiem.
