The last weekend in May in the company of Photomonth in KrakĂłw!

News date: 2010-05-28

Make sure you have some spare time: Today begins the last weekend you’ll be able to spend with Photomonth. These are the last few days when all the exhibitions are open and waiting for visitors. We’ve also set up another set of meetings, discussions, events and concerts for you. Prepare yourselves for the last weekend in May in the company of Photomonth in Kraków!


Let’s begin with meetings at Galeria Camelot. At 5 pm, sociologist Agata Nowotny and the winners of the “United Kingdom Seen through Polish Eyes” photographic competition organised by Fotopolis.pl will be talking about the Polish view of British affairs.


Also, don’t miss the conclusion of the Reading the Image cycle with Marek Kęskrawiec, the author of the book “The Fourth Fire of Teheran” and the photographer Anita Andrzejewska, with whom we’ll be talking about images of stereotype. Marek Kęskrawiec is a journalist and reporter, five times nominated in the Grand Press competition and twice winner, who received the title Małopolska Journalist of the Year in 2004. His “The Fourth Fire of Teheran” is a literary reportage in the best tradition, of a country which has functioned for decades within one legible stereotype: a harsh bearded man and a sad woman in a chador. A country which, suddenly in the summer of 2009, showed the world its other face – young, rebellious and throwing down the gauntlet to a system armed to the teeth.

In turn, at the Art World Corporation, the guest will be another well-dressed artist. Tom Hunter, photographer, whose work is part of the “Facts of Life” exhibition at the National Museum, in conversation with Karolina Kolenda and Wojciech Szymański, will give away a few professional secrets and talk about the sources of his inspiration, as well as discussing the relationship between contemporary photography and modern painting. The work of this graduate of London’s Royal College of Art and the first artist to have his photographs displayed in the National Gallery, often brings to mind associations with Vermeer’s work, or Caravaggio’s work with lighting. “Girl without pearls” – a meeting with Tom Hunter today at 7 pm.

The evening belongs to Jimmy Edgar: the golden child of contemporary electronic dance music, who appeared as a teenager with club scene legends only to give up on music for a while in order to focus on photography. This “Dancefloor Designer” from Detroit, as he calls himself, will play at 9 pm at Klub Pauza.
