Meeting with the curators of the ShowOFF Section | 17.05.2015

Join us for a meeting with Marta KOŁAKOWSKA, Igor OMULECKI and Anna NAŁĘCKA, the people responsible for the selections in the ShowOFF competition, along with the section curator Piotr SIKORA. During the discussion we will find out how the jury arrived at their final nine-strong shortlist and what criteria they followed. We will be talking about repetition and clichés in contemporary photography as well as discussing the very format of the ShowOFF section competition and the role of the curator, whose decision on what will go into the final exhibition makes him above all a critic.
