Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design Jerusalem - 2009 Summer Photography Workshops

Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design Jerusalem - 2009 Summer Photography Workshops
Deadline : July 15th, 2009

The Dual Face of Photography | Into the Field: Jerusalem
August 2-31, 2009

Introduction
Established in 1906, Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design Jerusalem is Israel's foremost academy of the arts and one of the top art and design schools in the world. Starting in 1981, Bezalel's photography department began awarding its students with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Since then, the department has seen many of its alumni become leading artists in Israel and throughout the world. Among them: Michal Rovner, Elinor Carucci, Adi Nes, Sharon Yaari, Yigal Shem-Tov, Yossi Berger, David Adika, Rona Yefman, Sharon Bareket and others.

Sources of Inspiration
Art does not exist in an empty vacuum. In Israel, the close interaction between peoples of different ethnicities and religions is not the mythology of ancient history but a daily reality with Jerusalem playing the volatile role of state capital and spiritual center of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity. The complexities that are manifested in the cultures, politics, and religions of the area allow for equally complex documentary work, addressing the core issues of this field of photography.

Photography Workshops
The summer program is comprised of photography workshops and guest lectures by leading experts who will provide an insight on the social, political, architectural and anthropological aspects of the area. Guest lectures will assist students in assessing the theoretical framework of their projects.

Workshop participants will select subject matter of their own choosing and produce a project at the end of the four week period. Class instruction will span two days per week and students are encouraged to utilize their time outside the workshop to photograph in the Jerusalem area or in any other part of the country. Students will have full access to Bezalel's advanced digital laboratory, scanners, printers, computers, darkrooms, and development tools. The laboratory will be staffed by an assistant.

All lectures will be delivered in English.

Academic Oversight:
Miki Kratsman- head of the photography department at Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design Jerusalem. Mr. Kratsman is one of Israel's preeminent photojournalists. His work has been featured in local and international galleries and museums.

Workshops
Into the Field: Jerusalem
August 2-31 2009
4 ECTS/Academic Credit

The sites as well as the historic and anthropological forces that have played a dominant role in the shaping of Jerusalem, and indeed in the shaping of world affairs, will be at the focus of this research based workshop. Participants will gain firsthand knowledge of anthropological, historical, and political sites in and around Jerusalem through exploratory visits and will be expected to define their work in relation to concepts like documentation, narrative, fiction, aestheticism and activism. The goal of this course is to supply the participant with primary experience as relating to significant sites and in the process to materialize the relationship between art, photography, and the, often, abstract sources of inspiration.

The Dual Face of Photography
August 2-31 2009
4 ECTS/Academic Credit

The State of Israel and the larger context in which it exists presents the photographer with endless opportunity for photographic projects. As a complex society grappling with issues of existence and accommodation of a multitude of ethnic and religious groups, Israel provides opportunity for research, critique, and discussion. The projects that will be produced by participants during this workshop will allow for the close examination and scrutiny of personal and public perceptions.

Application Deadline
July 15th, 2009.

Prerequisites and Admission Requirements
Acceptance to the summer program will be based upon portfolio review. The following applicants will be considered: professional artists, graduates of accredited photography and art schools, advanced photography and art students who have completed at least two years of schooling.

LE MOIS DE LA PHOTO À MONTRÉAL 2011
CALL FOR CANDIDATES FOR THE 12TH PRESENTATION: GUEST CURATOR
Deadline : AUGUST 17, 2009

:: Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal is launching its call for the Guest Curator for the 12th presentation of the international biennale of contemporary photography that will take place in September 2011 :: 
 
Every two years since 1989, Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal produces an innovative photography event that serves as a catalyst for artists, other specialists of the image and the general public. This event promotes different tendencies in contemporary photography and creates international exchanges between photographers, the public at large, curators, the media and collectors. Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal works with artists, museums, galleries, artist-run centres, universities, and a large group of other partners to present a stimulating event that, by virtue of a series of mostly solo exhibitions spread across the city, transforms Montréal into one immense coherent group exhibition organized around a single unifying concept or theme.
 
Since 2003, Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal has invited a Guest Curator to elaborate the theme of each new presentation of the biennale. All the exhibitions, educational activities, the colloquium and the publication are all organized around a singular theme defined by the Guest Curator. For information regarding the curators and themes of previous events, please consult our Web site at www.moisdelaphoto.com where you can also find more information on the organization, its history, and mandate.
 
The Guest Curator for 2011 will develop a, new, bold and innovative theme that lends itself to a coherent program of exhibitions, publication, colloquium, etc., that will distinguish Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal internationally and provide opportunities for our visitors to develop a better understanding of the theme and issues in contemporary photography in general.

Lesley Martin, Publisher of the Aperture Book Program, will be the juror for the 2009 Photo Review Photography Competition. The Photo Review, a highly acclaimed critical journal of photography, is sponsoring its 25th annual photography competition with a difference. Instead of only installing an exhibit that would be seen by a limited number of people, The Photo Review will reproduce accepted entries in its 2009 competition issue and on its website. Thus, the accepted photographs will be seen by thousands of people all across the world and entrants will have a tangible benefit from the competition.

Also, the prize-winning photographers will be chosen for an exhibition at the photography gallery of The University of the Arts, Philadelphia. And a major traveling exhibition in 2010 will feature entrants from 25 years of The Photo Review Competition.

Because their work was seen in The Photo Review, past winners have been given one-person exhibitions, have had their work reproduced in other leading photography magazines, and have sold their work to collectors throughout the country.

Awards include a $500 purchase prize for The Philadelphia Museum of Art, a copy of SilverFast HDR Studio digital camera RAW conversion software from LaserSoft Imaging ($499), a $270 gift certificate from Lensbabies for a Composer lens or other items on the Lensbaby.com webstore, a $250 gift certificate from Calumet Photographic, a 24"x50' roll of Museo Silver Rag ($240 value), camera bags from Lowepro, and $250 in cash prizes.

An entry fee of $30 for up to three prints, slides, or images on CD and $5 each for up to two additional images entitles all entrants to a copy of the catalogue. In addition, all entrants will be able to subscribe to The Photo Review for $35, a 20% discount.

All entries must be received by mail between May 1 and June 1, 2009.
