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.

Work in Process

—

The Work in Process exhibition is an exhibition about labor that is necessary and supportive, that we encounter everywhere that needs to be kept organised and that is often neglected. Even in galleries, numerous workers are partly „invisible“: applying for grants, keeping the accounts, managing technical equipment, installing, de-installing, guarding exhibitions, cleaning, and maintaining social networks. The exhibition wants to make all of this visible, knowing that it may become another in a series of exhibitions about care.

5 East Broadway | Marie Tomanova

—

Fotograf Contemporary is pleased to present Marie Tomanova’s first solo exhibition at Fotograf Gallery. Titled 5 East Broadway, it features an entirely new body of work by the artist. The exhibition combines for the first-time color, black and white photography, and short films to present a nuanced and multi-faceted vision of powerful individuality. Between February and May 2023, Tomanova rented a 3.5 by 3.5 meter studio located at 5 East Broadway—literally, a small, crowded room—on the fourth floor of a New York City walk-up building and invited dozens of youth to come and tell her their dreams, to dance, to take photographs, and to film.

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.
