curator residency - photography

studio das weisse haus is announcing a three to four weeks residency for one international curator with a focus on photography. The goal of the program is to realize

• a presentation (for further details, please see below)
• in combination with two Open Studio Days on June 24 and 25 with the Studio Artists of our program as part of the festival of FOTO WIEN (June 1 – 30, 2023).

Currently, eight Vienna based artists work in the studios located at Hegelgasse 14. While some use photography to document their performances or drawing processes, others employ it as a field for experimentation, such as cyanotype. Some of the artists portray people or record urban changes. However, all of the artists share photos of their works and installation views on their website and social media. Photography is omnipresent in the daily life of an artist, it is impossible to get around without it. Following this year’s theme of the festival (Photography Lies), we would like to question where the truth ends and the lie of photography begins.
