EMOP Opening Days at C/O Berlin: September 29 – October 2, 2016
Description
The European Month of Photography Berlin is the largest German festival for photography. Since 2004, it has been taking place every two years in Berlin, presenting a wide range of exhibitions and events on historic and contemporary photography. The festival is organized by Kulturprojekte Berlin GmbH in collaboration with museums, cultural institutions, galleries, embassies, project spaces, and photography schools in Berlin and Potsdam.
For this year’s edition of the festival, the jury of the 7th EMOP Berlin, made up of Frank Wagner (curator), Dr. Matthias Harder (curator of The Helmut Newton Foundation), Ute Mahler (photographer, founding member of OSTKREUZ, professor), Katharina Sieverding (photographer, professor) and Thomas Licek (managing director EyesOn – EMOP Vienna), has selected 130 exhibition projects by 120 institutions.
Excerpt from the jury statement (read the full statement here):
The selection of the participants in the 7th European Month of Photography testifies to a wide variety, not only in thematic and conceptual terms, but also in participating institutions. Formats range from outdoor exhibitions, large-scale museum presentations, and brilliantly researched solo and group presentations in galleries and project spaces to impressive proposals by many of the city’s foreign cultural institutions and embassies as well as municipal offices for art and culture. Also important is the creativity of Berlin’s numerous photography schools, whose participation in the festival is self-evident.
Thus, a fragmentary view arises of the artistic achievements in photography over the past 100 years and of the perspectives and interests of our time – along with all their private ramifications, sensibilities, and discoveries.“
