Meetings – Petar Jončić photography exhibition

Today, 4th april 2018 at 19h, opening of Petar Jončić photography exhibition, Zemun municipality gallery, Kosovska 9

On 26 black and white photographs, most of which were made with an analog camera, Petar Jončić created a unique group of people who communicate, listens what others say and thus create their own community, a small collection of different characters, all of which have their own story.
 
Portraits were shot all over Serbia, in various cities and villages, and on the wall of the gallery will be connected in a long series in order to create an illusion of conversation and socializing of those who have never met.
 
Petar Jončić is a journalist at TV Studio B and a film critic of Radio Belgrade 3. He deals with photography as an amateur from the end of the eighties. He participated in numerous jurying domestic and international photo exhibitions. In the last two years he actively deals with street photography and captures portraits of people who find themselves in the immediate vicinity, most often during journalistic reporting or during the realization of his TV reports.
 
For his work he received numerous awards in the field of cinema.

Susreti – izložba fotografija Petra Jončića

Danas, 4. aprila 2018. godine u 19h, otvaranje izložbe fotografija Petra Jončića, galerija gradske opštine Zemun, Kosovska 9

Na 26 crno-belih fotografija, od kojih je većina urađena analognim foto-aparatom, Petar Jončić je stvorio jedinstvenu grupu ljudi koja komunicira, osluškuje šta oni drugi kažu i tako kreirao sopstvenu zajednicu, malu kolekciju različitih likova od kojih svi imaju svoju priču.

Portreti su snimani po celoj Srbiji, u raznim gradovima i selima, a na zidu galerije će biti povezani u dugačkom nizu kako bi se stvorila iluzija razgovora i druženja onih koji se nikada nisu upoznali.

Petar Jončić je novinar na televiziji Studio B i filmski kritičar Radio Beograda 3. Fotografijom se bavi amaterski od kraja osamdesetih godina. Učestvovao je na mnogobrojnim žiriranim domaćim i međunarodnim salonima fotografije. Poslednje dve godine aktivno se bavi uličnom fotografijom i snima portrete ljudi koje zatekne u neposrednoj blizini, najčešće tokom novinarskog izveštavanja ili tokom realizacije TV reportaža.

Za publicistički rad dobitnik je mnogobrojnih nagrada iz oblasti kinematografije.

(dis)Connection – photography exhibition

Today, 4th April 2018 at 18h, come to the opening of (dis)Connection contest exhibition, gallery Čubrilo at Gardoš tower in Zemunu

Photo Contest (dis)Connection is an inaugural part of the “Pametni Prostor” (Smart Space) program, which primarily aims to raise the level of awareness of the users of public space regarding the inclusive and efficient use of space that is a public good.

The theme of the competition is to visualize the photograph through visual media – to ask questions to which the public sphere belongs, who are users of the public space and whether some groups are missing (persons of a certain gender, persons of a certain age, persons with disabilities, etc.), as different groups of citizens use the same space and how does the use of public space change in relation to the seasons or the day?

Over 200 photographs were received, 40 of them were selected for the exhibition. Jelisaveta Blagojević, professor of philosophy at the Department for Political Critical Studies, FMK, Maja Lalić, architect and urban planners, and Zarko Culić, photographer at magazine Portret, chose works for the exhibition, and the first three works selected by the jury as the highest grade will be given recognition during the opening of the exhibition.

Gran Via (Odjeci grada) – Luis Camacho Peral

Gran Via (Odjeci grada), izložba fotografija Luisa Kamaća, večeras od 19h u Institutu Servantes, Čika Ljubina 19

RESONANCIAS URBANAS: MADRID, CALLE LEGANITOS

Stogodišnja ulica Gran Via predstavlja jednu od glavnih arterija grada i jednu od njegovih najemblematičnijih avenija. Njena izgradnja, između 1910. i 1931. godine, označila je početak modernizacije grada, zajedno sa podizanjem prvih nebodera u zemlji i dolaskom tada aktuelnih arhitektonskih struja.

Fotografije koje čine ovu izložbu predstavljaju odlomke iz života koji sažimaju prostor, vreme i sećanje u formu fotografije. To su slike svakodnevnog života nastale u brzini, koje istražuju dinamičku intersekciju između subjekta i vremena, stvarnog i nadrealnog, putem nasumično odabranih uličnih scena.

Luis Kamaćo rođen je u Madridu 1972. godine. Član je kolektiva dokumentrane fotografije Ulica 35 i osnivač Fotografskog udruženja Viljaverde. Tokom svog fotoreporterskog rada objavljivao je fotografije u većini štampanih medija Španije. Pobednik je VI izdanja konkursa za novinarsku fotografiju Autonomne zajednice Madrida 2013. godine sa fotografijom nazvanom “Madrid je svetlost”, koja čini deo ove postavke.

Ova izložba, koja će biti otvorena do 20. juna, deo je programa ovogodišnjeg Belgrade Photo Month.

Ulaz slobodan.

Gran Via – Luis Camacho Peral exhibition

Gran Via, Luis Camacho Peral exhibition, tonight at 19h in Instituto Cervantes de Belgrado, Čika Ljubina 19

RESONANCIAS URBANAS: MADRID, CALLE LEGANITOS

The centenary Gran Vía is one of the main arteries of the city of Madrid and one of its most emblematic avenues. Its creation, between 1910 and 1931, marked the beginning of the modernization of the city with the construction of the first skyscrapers in the country and the incursion of the architectural currents of the moment.

The photographs that make up this exhibition constitute remnants of life that compress space, time and memory in the form of a snapshot. They are day-to-day images taken from the fugacity and that explore the dynamic intersection between the subject and time, the real and the surreal, in street scenes disarticulated adrift.

Luis Camacho was born in Madrid in 1972. He is a member of the documentary photography collective Calle 35 and founder of the Villaverde Photographic Association. In his work as a photojournalist he has published in the majority of print media in Spain and has received awards such as FotoCam Comunidad de Madrid in 2013 with the image entitled ‘Madrid is light’, which is part of this exhibition.

The exhibition, which will be open until June 20, is part of the Belgrade Photo Month program.

Free entry.

An Aspect of Contemporary Photobooks from Turkey – FUAM Limited Edition izložba foto-knjiga

Večeras u 18h, “An Aspect of Contemporary Photobooks from Turkey”, FUAM Limited Edition izložba foto-knjiga, u Univerzetskoj biblioteci, Bulevar kralja Aleksandra 71.

Kustos Volkan Kızıltunç

Zašto su nam potrebne foto-knjige?
“verba volant scripta manent”
Tuna Uysal:

Zašto su ljudima potrebne knjige? Zašto neprestano beleže ono što je rečeno ili čemu svedoče? Čemu se teži vođenjem evidencije? Na ova pitanja se može odgovoriti na različite načine. Zbog trajnosti, besmrtnosti, da se prenese znanje, da se upozori, da se zadovolje potrebe pripadanja/posedovanja… itd.

Prepoznajući vrednost beleženja, ljudska svest se brzo usmerava na različite metode beleženja i njihove prikaze. Svaki simbol i svaki sistem kodiranja koji su prepoznati po svojoj komunikacijskoj moći se učinkovito koriste, dok su oduvek sprovođene studije s ciljem razvijanja različitog sistema komunikacije. Fotografija je zauzela to mesto u svim tim indeksima komunikacijskih simbola, od trenutka svog otkrića sve do danas. Kao što je Willem Flusser rekao: „U prošlosti su tekstovi opisivali slike, dok sada, obrnuto, fotografije vizualizuju novinske članke“. Dakle, koliko god je fotografija umetnost, podjednako je i vid komunikacije, koji otkriva svoju narativnu moć. A zašto neki vid komunikacije koji ima narativnu moć ne bi bio knjiga? „Fotografija se pretvorila u vizualni jezik, i sada eminentno ragovaramo sa slikama“.

Na koji način fotografija, koja se na zidovima galerijama ili u časopisima savremenog doba izlaže kao jedinstven objekat, može preuzeti formu knjige, čak i ako komunikacijski fenomen posmatra fotografiju kao jezik? Na ovo pitanje se može odgovoriti izjavom Quentina Bajca, kustosa odeljenja za fotografiju njujorške MOMA-e: „Fotografija se više ne kači na zid. Knjiga čini osnovu fotografije. Trebalo bismo da budemo svesni toga i da sarađujemo sa muzejskim bibliotekama. Naše okruženje je ispunjeno mnogim primerima koji su sačinjeni od ove forme i treba da ih skupimo“.

„FUAM“ (Centar za fotografsku praksu i istraživanje) natoji da odgovori na fenomen „FOTO-KNJIGA“, koji upravlja formama produkcije i delenja u umetničkom svetu. Umetnici imaju priliku da rade sa, i da svoje fotografije predstavljaju izvrsnim umetničkim imenima u svetu foto-knjige, kao što su Ania Nalecka, Rafal Milach, Nico Baumgarten, Michela Palermo, Matthieu Charon, Remi Faucheux, Marcus Schaden, Frederic Lezmi, Calin Kruse, Valentina Abenovelli i Alex Bochetto. Foto-knjiga kao jedna od osnovnih oblika fotografije ima ogroman značaj u smislu da je ona glavni projekat FUAM-a. Jedan od glavnih ciljeva ovog projekta je fokus na produkciju foto-knjiga koje poslednjih godina imaju sve veću vrednost u akademskom svetu, kao i da kroz nove produkcije uvede različite umetnike u svet umetnosti i uspostavi centar koji će objediniti sve što je okupljeno.

An Aspect of Contemporary Photobooks from Turkey – FUAM Limited Edition Photobook Exhibition

Tonight at 18h, “An Aspect of Contemporary Photobooks from Turkey”, FUAM Limited Edition Photobooks exhibition, in Belgrade University Library, Bulevar kralja Aleksandra 71.

Curated By Volkan Kızıltunç

Why do we need photobooks ?
“verba volant scripta manent”
Tuna Uysal

Why do humans need books? Why are they constantly in the act of recording what is said or witnessed? What is the pursuit of keeping records? Various answers can be given to all these questions. To be permanent, to be immortal, to transfer knowledge, to warn, to satisfy the needs of belonging/possession… etc.

Recognizing the importance of recording, human consciousness is rapidly focusing on different recording methods and their displays. Every symbol and code system that has been recognized as communicative power has been used efficiently and studies have always been made to develop a different communication system. Photography has taken its place in all of these communicative symbol indexes from the moment of its discovery up until today. As Willem Flusser said; “In the past, texts were describing images, and now, conversely, photographs visualize newspaper articles”. Therefore, as much as photography is art, it is also a form of communication, which reveals its narrative power. Why would not a form of communication that has narrative power be a book? “Photography has turned into a visual language, and we are now talking with images eminently”.

How can photography, which is exhibited on the walls as a singular object by galleries or magazines of the modern age, take up the form of a book, even though the communication phenomenon regards photography as a language? This can be answered with a statement by Quentin Bajac, curator of photography department of MOMA; “The photo is not hung on the wall anymore. The book form constitutes the basis of the photo. We should be aware of this and cooperate with museum libraries. Our surroundings are filled with many examples that consist of this form and we need to collect them”.

“FUAM” (Photography Practice and Research Centre) aimed to respond to the “PHOTOBOOK” phenomenon, which directs the forms of production and sharing in the art world. The artists had the opportunity to work with and present their own photographs to the outstanding artists of the photobook world such as Ania Nalecka, Rafal Milach, Nico Baumgarten, Michela Palermo, Matthieu Charon, Remi Faucheux, Marcus Schaden, Frederic Lezmi, Calin Kruse, Valentina Abenovelli and Alex Bochetto. The photobook as one of the basic forms of photography is of great importance in terms of being the main project of FUAM. The first goals of this project were to focus on the production of photobooks, which have become a rising value in the last few years, in an academic setting, to bring various artists to the art world through new productions and to establish a center for gathering this accumulation.
