Plat(t)form 2007

Fotomuseum Winterthur is launching a new series of events entitled PLAT(T)FORM. Starting this January, one weekend annually will be dedicated to introduce the work of young photographers from Switzerland and beyond to an interested audience as well as to a small panel of experts who will hold in-depth discussions with the photographers about their work. It is intended that this event will give photographers an opportunity of introducing themselves as well as allowing experts and interested visitors alike to discover high-quality work by emerging artists. The selection of the photographers is made in a two steps procedure: first, national and international curators, lectures and journalists nominate potential candidates from Europe and second the Fotomuseum Winterthur himself concentrates on a further selection of 42 photographers out of them.

Experts:
Alexandra Blättler, curator Coalmine Galerie, Winterthur, and Stiftung BINZ 39, Zurich
Inge Hennemann, curator Fotomuseum der Provinz Antwerpen
Markus Hartmann, project leader photography, Hatje Cantz Verlag, Bad Cannstadt
Thomas Koerfer, collector, film maker und producer, Rüschlikon
Thomas Seelig, curator collection, Fotomuseum Winterthur
