And so we begin the third weekend of Photomonth in Krakow!
News date: 2011-05-27
We’re starting next weekend with a big surprise. Come and see some films from the first days of Photomonth in Krakow 2011!
On Friday’s start to the weekend we invite you to an evening meeting with Viktor KoláĹ, a Czech photographer who was born in 1941. His photographic career began with images of his hometown, Ostrava, believed to be the most industrialised in the Czech Republic. Over time, the images of the city –including the transformation taking place in the Czech Republic – likewise began to change. The artist began with quasi-romantic imagery of the industrial landscape of the sixties, to then reflect on the subjective way of documenting the time of normalisation in Czech society after the suppression of the Prague Spring by Soviet tanks. The last 20 years has been presented by KoláĹ as a time of the pluralistic development of democracy, but at the same time with ever increasing consumerisation of society. In 2010 he published a book of 145 photographs of Ostrava which were taken between 1959 and 2009. For the meeting, chaired by Marta Eloy-Cichocka, we invite you to the Festival Office at the Camelot Gallery at 18.00.
And in the evening, come and join us at Klub Alchemia for a concert in the Export Goods cycle, which presents the top acts in the young Polish music scene. Tonight, we have Pleq and Danny Bow, and the visual support will be provided by ShowOFF Section! Pleq play music that’s difficult to pigeonhole in the usual way, with a combination of ambient, glitch and IDM.
Danny Bow, once known as Enbe, is producer and creator of instrumental hip-hop, full of unexpected musical twists, highly ragged and eclectic.
More information about the concert and a chance to listen to music by the visiting artists can be found at www.radiofonia.fm/towaryeksportowe
Tickets are available prior to entry into the club for any price.
