Plat(t)form 2009

Plat(t)form 09, held during the weekend of 23/24/25 January 2008, is the third curated international portfolio viewing featuring young emerging European photographers. As in the previous year, we have invited 42 photographers to present their work for two hours to the public and a selected team of experts. The 42 participants have been chosen from among some 130 nominated photographers. At each viewing, there will be 6 photographers showing their work simultaneously. Plat(t)form 09 is aimed at professionals such as curators, gallery owners, publishers, editors and photographers. At the same time, the event offers interested visitors an opportunity of discovering the work of young photographers and artists, and of meeting them in person.
