Exhibit! – From the idea to the picture on the wall.

Producing outstanding photographic works alone is not enough. From conception and production to presentation and distribution, a photographic project must meet numerous requirements in order to be shown. Municipal galleries, renowned museums or public spaces: each exhibition venue places different demands on photographers in terms of content and technology.

In addition to a coherent exhibition concept, an aesthetically outstanding visual language and a professional realisation, the projects must transport relevant topics in a catchy way and appeal to a large, diverse audience in both form and content. Additional components, for example publications, multimedia presentations and concepts for education and outreach work, increase the chances of attracting the attention of curators and museum directors to your work.

The know-how required for this as well as the various aspects of the conception and realisation of an exhibition in cooperation with a national or international exhibition institution are the subject of the workshop. The speaker Katharina Mouratidi, artistic director of f³ – freiraum für fotografie, has been conceiving, planning and realising exhibitions with the most diverse cooperation partners at home and abroad for over 25 years. Together with her, the participants will develop concepts for their individual exhibition projects.
