International Masterclass Kuldīga results exhibition

:: LV :: 

No 15. – 21. martam Kuldīgā norisinājās jaunās ISSP Starptautiskās meistarklases pirmā sesija, pulcējot 24 fotogrāfus no 12 pasaules valstīm. Meistarklases dalībnieki satikās pirmo reizi, lai uzsāktu darbu pie ilgtermiņa projektiem, ko viņi turpinās gada garumā pasniedzēju Ārona Šūmana, Jurija Kozireva un Andreja Poļikanova vadībā.

Nedēļas laikā dalībnieki veidoja fotogrāfijas sērijas, instalācijas un video darbus mijiedarbībā ar Kuldīgas vidi un cilvēkiem - improvizētā ielas fotostudijā fotogrāfi ir izveidojuši konsolidētus kuldīdznieku portretus, savukārt konceptuālās darbnīcas dalībnieki veidojuši fotogrāfiskus “labirintus”, izmantojot pilsētā atrastus pavedienus - vēsturisku attēlus, tekstu un Kuldīgā radītu darbus.

Izstāde būs apskatāma no 22.marta līdz 12.aprīlim.
Kuldīgas Mākslas nama darba laiki: Tr.,Pk.,Se. 10:00 - 16:00, Ce. 12:00 - 18:00, Sv. 11:00 - 14:00.

Aicinām uz rezultātu prezentāciju un izstādes atklāšanu 21.martā plkst 18:00!

From 15 - 21 March, Kuldīga hosted the first session of the ISSP International Masterclass, brining together 24 emerging photographers from 12 countries. The participants met for the first time to start working on their long-term projects under the guidance of the masterclass tutors Aaron Schuman, Yuri Kozyrev and Andrei Polikanov. 

During the week the participants created photography series interacting with Kuldīga and its inhabitants - two portraits of "average Kuldīgans" (male and female) were made in the improvised street photography studio, whilst other participants were creating "labyrinths" using clues - photographs, texts and objects - found in the town. 

We cordially invite you to the presentation of the results and opening of a pop-up exhibition at Kuldīga Arts Hall on March 21 at 18:00! 

The exhibition will be open to public from 22 March until 12 April.
