Dear Spectrum members,
As the end of 2022 slowly approaches, we would like to draw your attention to this year's General Assembly and What's Next 2023, which will both take place on 1 December 2022 at MASI Lugano.
Between the two events, a lunch is offered by Spectrum as well as a private guided tour of the MASI Lugano and Fondazione Rolla in Bruzella in the afternoon of Wednesday, 30 November 2022.
Please note that registration is necessary to attend. You will find the registration link at the bottom of this e-mail.
Thursday, 1 December at 11:30
All Spectrum members are warmly invited to register for the General Assembly starting from 11:30 on 1 December at MASI Lugano. We will look at the Spectrum year 2022 and welcome our new members. For required registration, please click the registration link at the bottom of this e-mail.
Thursday, 1 December, 14:15-17:45 at MASI Lugano
We invite all of our collective and individual members to submit a unique, important, and exciting project that is on their programme for 2023. It can be an exhibition, archive project, publication, a research project, an event, an online presentation, or an educational project dealing with photography. Spectrum will select the 20 most interesting projects from the submissions. The selected projects will be presented in person by each institution or individual member at the event. We ask our members that the presentations are made by one or two persons directly involved in the project. The presentations can include both images and text, and will last precisely 7 minutes each.
What's Next 2023 is designed to strengthen the network within the Swiss photography field and aims to promote an active dialogue about current projects taking place in Switzerland. The event is public and addressed to everyone interested in photography.
How to submit a project: send a brief description of the project (max 150 words) as well as one image (jpg) to give an impression of the project. Submissions must be sent by email by 31 October to spectrum@photography-in-switzerland.ch
We are looking forward to receiving your projects!
