– book launch, artist talk and pop-up exhibition at the ISSP School in Riga, May 6
Programma:
18.00 Ierašanās un pop-up izstāde // Arrivals and exhibition
18.30 Nico Baumgarten atvērtā lekcija // Artist talk
19.30 Grāmatas atklāšanas svinības // Book launch party
Niko Baumgartens ir fotogrāfs un fotogrāmatu veidošanas eksperts no Vācijas, aktīvs pašizdošanas kustības dalībnieks. Rīgā tiks atklāta viņa jaunākā fotogrāmata How the Other Half Lives (Dzīve otrā pusē) – komentārs par mūsdienu sabiedrības vērtībām, kura galvenie varoņi ir Rīgas pagalmu klaiņojošie kaķi. Grāmatas nosaukums aizgūts no ietekmīgā 19. gadsimta beigu fotogrāfa Džeikoba A. Rīsa (Jacob A. Riis) tāda paša nosaukuma darba, kurā izcelti Ņujorkas graustu iedzīvotāju dzīves apstākļi un valdošā nevienlīdzībā. Arī Baumgartena Rīgas kaķu fotogrāfijas ir kā alegorija par cilvēku dažādājiem dzīves apstākļiem un nonkonformismu kā dzīvesveidu. Grāmatu Baumgartens izdevis pašrocīgi, izmantojot mūsdienās aktuālo pūļa finansējuma (crowdfunding) modeli, kas ļauj saglabāt neatkarību izdošanas procesā.
Grāmatas atklāšanas laikā Baumgartens sniegs prezentāciju par fotogrāmatu veidošanas procesu un filozofiju, atsaucoties uz šo un trīs iepriekš pašizdotajām grāmatām. ISSP Skolas pagalmā notiks arī pop-up izstāde, kas sniegs ieskatu grāmatas “Dzive otrā pusē” darbos un veidošanas procesā.
Vienlaicīgi tā būs iespēja jebkuram interesentam iepazīties ar fotogrāfijas izglītības programmas ISSP Skola telpām un darbību.

Nico Baumgarten is a German freelance photographer and bookmaker trying to find a way out of the limitations of the editorial and art market by creating books. His new book How the Other Half Lives is a parable on modern-day society starring the stray cats of Riga. The title How the Other Half Lives is borrowed from Jacob A. Riis’ seminal photo book, published in 1890, which created awareness of the living-conditions of the poor parts of New York’s society amongst the better-off classes. Nico’s book also deals with social status and non-conformity, through the living conditions and worldviews of Riga’s courtyard cats. The book was published with the help of a crowdfunding campaign.
Join us for a pop-up exhibition in the ISSP School courtyard, as well as an artist talk, in which Nico will present his new book and provide an insight into the process and philosophy of self-publishing.
