Trešdien, 7.martā plkst 18:30 ISSP Skolas programmas ietvaros notiks mākslas zinātnieces, kuratortes Ineses Baranovskas lekcija "Krustpunkti - gleznecības un fotogrāfijas mediju savstarpējā radoša mijiedarbība."
Mākslas būtība nav metodēs un procesos, vairāk tas ir jautājums par temperamentu, gaumi un jūtām… Mākslinieka rokās fotogrāfija kļūst par mākslu… Vārdu sakot, fotogrāfija ir tas, ko ar to dara fotogrāfs – māksla vai arods.
- William Howe Downes, 1900

Now, this is not a 1st April joke, its official: the ISSP international summer school is moving to Kuldīga! Though it all happened a little suddenly, we are happy with the new situation. The new location, Pelči boarding school, is 4 km away from town, so we’ll keep all the intimacy of the campus. Kuldīga is a gem and a runner up UNESCO world heritage site, it will for sure charm everyone.
Besides, we will have a real castle all for ourselves - imagine ! :)
Many, many things in process. By the end of the month, we will be ready to announce the applications for Summer School 2011. You can already find some information about 2011 workshops and teachers here. We will also have a brand - new website, and more exciting news coming up soon!
ISSP invites all interested in Black and White analogue process and looking for lab facilities to become 2011 members of our BW Lab in Andrejsala (Riga). Lab members can use fully equipped ISSP BW lab for a year - pretty much without any time limits. Full info in Latvian below. For more info, please call Arnis :)

Last but not least - Peter Bialobrzeski on ISSP (17 October 2010):
ISSP 2010 was the best photography event I have participated in this year. Teaching there was special, a childhood-like summer with plenty of lovely people, fellow teachers and workshop participants likewise. The workshop was an intense work experience with a lovely holiday feel about it!
Roger Ballen on ISSP (31 August 2010):
It was a wonderful experience teaching at ISSP. In this quiet rustic location the students immersed themselves into photography, into themselves.
Veronique Bourgoin on ISSP (31 August 2010):
Welcoming, strong, international, wild, professional, warm, free… the ISSP team produces a perfect cocktail to open up some crazy space for creation.
