ISSP 2019 :: Photography and the World :: Evening programme
ISSP 2019 EVENING PROGRAMME
13th edition: Photography and the World
13 - 19 July 2019
Location: Zaļenieki Manor, Jelgava District, Latvia
The ISSP 2019 public programme of evening talks & discussions and the Final Conference are open to visitors free of charge - see programme below!
The first thematic edition of the ISSP, “Photography and the World”, will be looking at photography as a possible tool for positive change, with reference to global issues the world is facing today. The participants will look beyond the sometimes insular bubble of the photography and art world, and try to answer questions like - What role can art/ photography play in relation to the events and processes happening in the world? What are the ways art can contribute to the societies we live in? What is the role of the photographer – as a professional, an activist, a member of the community, a responsible human being?
ISSP 2019 will conclude with a day-long open conference containing elements of a pop-up exhibition, a performance, a manifest, as well as a publication that will be produced on the campus.

11. jūlijā plkst 18.30 aicinām uz Toma Ķenča priekšlasījumu par velna tēlu Latvijas mākslas vēsturē, un sarunu ar mākslinieci Viku Ekstu, kuras izstāde "Velnezers" šobrīd skatāma ISSP Galerijā.
Oficiālā pieteikšanā ISSP Skolas divu gadu vakaru programmas ATTĪSTOT FOTOGRĀFIJAS VALODU 2018./2020.g. kursam ir noslēgusies, bet vēl līdz augusta beigām izskatīsim motivētus pieteikumus, jo kursā palikušas dažas brīvas vietas.
Programma paredzēta dalībniekiem ar priekšzināšanām un nodrošina studentiem atvērtu, radošu un kritisku vidi, kurā attīstīt savu vizuālo valodu un individuālo pieeju fotogrāfijā. Strādājot pie nelieliem un arī nopietnākiem autorprojektiem Latvijas un ārvalstu speciālistu vadībā, studenti paplašina izpratni par fotogrāfiju kā mūsdienu mākslas mediju. Vairāk : www.isspskola.lv
No 9. jūnija līdz 18. jūlijam ISSP Galerijā būs aplūkojama Vikas Ekas izstāde "Velnezers". Velnezers jeb Čertoks - apaļš un dziļš ezers ar ūdeni intensīvi zaļā krāsā - atrodas meža vidū Aglonas novadā. Lai gan ezeru apvij dažādi mīti un noslēpumi, Latviešu folkloras krātuvē par to nav atrodama neviena liecība.
From June 9 till July 18 the exhibition by Vika Eksta "Devil's Lake" will be on display at the ISSP Gallery. Velnezers (Devil's Lake) or Čertoks - a round and deep lake with intensely green water - is located in the middle of a forest in the Aglona district in Eastern Latvia.
Curators of photography and visual art, photographers, artists, and art historians are warmly invited to take part in a meeting with curator Natasha Christia at 4PM on Friday, June 15 at the ISSP Gallery.
