Symposium: Knowing Photographs Fri-Sat January 23-24, 2009 Place: Finnish Academy of Fine Arts, Auditorium Symposium language: All presentations and discussions are held in English.
The symposium Knowing Photographs, arranged as a part of the Helsinki Photography Festival 2009, examines current photographic practices and methodologies. The symposium focuses in particular the resources of photographic knowledge, including complex renderings of time and space or the always current couplings of fact and fiction. As a set of related concerns, the symposium will as well address the ways that photographs engage unity or fragmentation, friction or correlation, past, present or futures in the relations they establish with the human world. Participants include internationally invited critics/curators/researchers, asked to reflect upon these issues, and artists from the Aletheia exhibition, discussing and contextualizing their own practices.
Guided Tours Guided tours and gallery talks are arranged in connection to the exhibitions and happenings of Helsinki Photography Festival. More information coming up.
