About This Exhibition
VASA in copperation with the Budapest Month of Photograph and the Association of Hunagrian Photographes VASA is exhibiting the work of the award winners of the Budapest Month of Photography Portfolio Review (2014). The work on exhibition here by Gasper Risko, Gyula Sopronyi, and Dobokay are representitive of the fine work displayed in the review process.
The Association of Hunagrian Photographers organizes the Month of Photography for the 10th time. The program has become the organic part of the hungarian photo-life. The main purpose is to show the multicolourous content and implements of the photograph, and to popularize the visual arts.
The Budapest Month of Photography has joined the European Month of Photography (EMOP) in 2012. EMOP unites the various European photo-festivals. In 2014 Budapest was in full collaboration with the EOP, running simultanously in Europesn cities to guide attention to the ambitions of contemporary photography.
The conception of the Month of Photography 2014 has been informed by the hungarian organizers and adjusted to the suggestion of the EMOP: examining the problematical quaestions of the remembrance of history. Therefore the hungarian events were organized around archives scaning the alternatives of the usage and re-interpretation of the historical documents (written, objective, musical) reflected in the creations of contemporary photography. In the programme, organized by the Month of Photography 2014, was a number of monumental collective exhibitions – in connection with the intended themes - , smaller scaled exhibitions – fitting to the topic and also conversations, and accompanying programs in purpose to help the intensification of the interpretation.
