The body rightly attracts our attention as a two-way interface between the psychological and social aspects of our being. Its ambivalence, so attractive for the sphere of visual art, lies primarily in the fact that it functions as a screen that either separates people and thus promotes their individuality, or, on the contrary, unites them, thereby co-constituting the social or intimate sphere of our existence here and now.

Libuše Jarcovjáková: Photographer

—

The Fotograf Contemporary platform has prepared an exhibition of the work of Libuše Jarcovjáková, one of the most outstanding contemporary Czech photographers, known at home and abroad for her authentic lifelong exploration of her own identity. The exhibition, entitled Fotografka (Photographer), will offer a new perspective on her photographic and book production and will bring closer her unique approach to photography. The exhibition, open at the Fotograf Gallery in Prague from 19 November to 20 December, will also present new, previously unexhibited colour analogue photographs from her long-term project Rooms and Beds. On this occasion, a special limited edition of images from this series will be available for purchase on the fotografcontemporary.cz platform.

Rethinking Palestine Coverage

—

The Israel-Hamas war is bringing generations and mindsets to a head in newsrooms across the West. Following the deaths of many in the region, there has been another battle over journalistic values in the contemporary age: impartiality and neutrality. A new generation is questioning the idea that journalists should remain impartial and neutral by giving all sides equal value without bias. During Black Lives Matter protests and more recently during the Israel-Gaza War, many have questioned the dangers of neutrality and how it can be used to obfuscate or platform dangerous or inaccurate opinions.

Make Voices Be Heard: Chapter One

—

The opening exhibition of the 14th edition of the Fotograf Festival will present an installation by British artist Paul Chaney, which was created during his stay in Ukraine and was originally intended for the Izolyatsia platform in Donetsk, which could no longer take place due to the war. The project will be exhibited in a larger, updated form for the very first time. The installation will be accompanied by a screening of the film Spider’s Envy by Albanian artist Genti Korini, exploring the tension between modernist art and socialist realism in the context of Albanian history.

Support

Fotograf Gallery is supported by the Czech Ministry of Culture and during the year 2021 by a grant from the City of Prague amounting to 630 000 CZK.
