No 7. februāra līdz 18. aprīlim ISSP Galerijā skatāma Armanda Andžes izstāde “Bailes no ainavas”, kas pievēršas Latvijas pilsētvides ikdienas ainavu mainīgajai dabai un to radītajām emocionālajām un sociālajām rezonansēm.

Armands Andže (1988) ir “Baltic Analog Lab” biedrs kopš 2018. gada. Ar analogo fotogrāfiju nodarbojas jau vairāk nekā 12 gadus. Viņš pašmācības ceļā apguvis vairākas senas analogās tehnikas un pievērš īpašu uzmanību analogo materiālu ilgtspējīgai izmantošanai.

Izstādes kuratores: Iveta Gabaliņa un Kamilla Kūna

Izstāde veidota ar Valsts kultūrkapitāla fonda atbalstu.
