2. - 21. jūnījā 2015
Galerijā NOASS, AB dambis 2

Vārdam "pazaudēt” var būt ļoti dažādas nozīmes. Var pazaudēt kādu lietu, tikpat labi - galvu, bet var arī pazaudēties, lai pēc tam atkal atrastu sevi. Divu gadu radošo meklējumu laikā pazaudēšanas un atrašanas tematika kļuvusi aktuāla izstādes dalībnieku darbos. Vairāki jaunie mākslinieki izmanto atrastas lietas un fotogrāfijas, lai dažādi interpretētu to nozīmi kā kolektīvajā, tā personiskajā apziņā. Tā, piemēram, Lauras Juhansones-Daugules pazaudēto mantu sludinājumi poētiski atklāj teksta un objektu mijiedarbi, vaicājot skatītājam – kas tieši nosaka lietas nozīmīgumu? Personiskas mantas, ko Anete Skuja atradusi ceļojumu koferī, kalpo kā ceļš, lai veidotu tuvākas attiecības ar pašas māsu.

Arī citi izstādes autori bieži vien kļūst par savdabīgiem vizuāliem detektīviem, pētot arhīvu materiālus vai vienkārši vidi, kurā mēs dzīvojam – piemēram, Arnis Vītols veido skulptūras no mežā atrastiem atkritumiem, vēršot uzmanību uz vides problēmām, toties vecmāmiņas šūtās kāzu kleitas ir dzīvas liecinieces stāstam par Zandas Pučes dzimtas sievietēm. Subjektīvi dokumentālajos, reizēm izteikti konceptuālajos izstādes darbos lietas un stāsti atrod jaunu nozīmi.

Atklāšana 02.06. plkst.19:00

Izstāde atvērta katru dienu, izņemot pirmdienas no 11:00 - 19:00. Ieeja brīva. 
Izstāde notiek Rīgas Fotomēneša programmas ietvaros.

Paldies atbalstītājiem: KKF, BZG, PMTM; info partneri: FK Magazine, Veto Magazine

ISSP Applications (update)

The Application form now works in all browsers! In case you encounter a problem, write to us at office@issp.lv.

We have already received first 10 applications from an incredible mixture of 7 countries! :) Looking forward for more!

ISSP Applications open (but for Safaris)

Hey hey! We are pleased to announce that the applications for the International Summer School of Photography 2010 are officially open. The deadline for applications is 10 May 2010. We will accept 60 students in total this year.

One small note! - our newly introduced on-line Application form still refuses to make friends with Safari browser, so problems with uploading photos there. Thus you will be on safer side if you use any other browser than Safari if you want to apply immediately. We are working on this problem, so hopefully everything works everywhere soon!
And of course, we are looking forward to seeing your applications!
And please, spread the news :)

Coming up - ISSP 2010 Applications

The new OnLine Application form will materialize Very Soon (all of our fingers crossed). Meanwhile, the complete information on ISSP 2010 is already here. Take a look and prepare yourselves!
