INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP
Tàrrega (Lleida-Spain)
October 16-18, 2008

RECYCLING PHOTOGRAPHS
Archives, samplings, postcards, found photographs
Lynne Cohen and Joachim Schmid
Directed by Joan Fontcuberta
Language of workshop: English

Participants will produce work related to some part of the city on which documentation will have been gathered beforehand. These materials may include found photos, postcards, travel guides, clippings from local newspapers, photos from personal albums or information garnered from libraries, documentary holdings or on the Internet.

We will study examples of works by contemporary creators inspired by the spirit of the ready-made and recycled photos. We will help participants develop their own original project based on found pictures. The result may be satirical, irreverent, comical, aesthetic, documentary or whatever: one can choose a single purpose or all at the same time... The work can be presented in book form, as a piece to be hung on the wall, as postcards, for a website or any other medium.


TO SUBMIT APPLICATIONS
In order to participate you must send an application form, a brief curriculum vitae listing your education, work and artistic experience, and a short text about 15 lines long describing why you are interested in the workshop, and a photographic work consisting of a maximum of 8 photos in PDF or JPEG format.
