PhotoMonth PhotoMonth 2010 – A Festival by the Association of Hungarian Photographers PhotoMonth 2010, the next one. According to our intention, originating from ten years ago, our festival is organized on a biannual basis.
We are now proud to invite you to PhotoMonth 2010. This time it has not been an easy start, though. Economic disease has hindered the implementation of many a cultural event this past year. Still we have persisted and supported by our partners’ perseverance we have succeeded in providing for the continuity of the event. Our colleagues at the Museum of Fine Arts, honoring the value of outstanding accomplishments in the field of photographic art, have undertaken to bring about a life-achievement exhibition in memory of Lucien Hervé whose one hundredth birth-anniversary is celebrated this year. In addition to this central event, November will also bring along several further exhibitions of equal standing: works by Martin Munkácsi will be showcased in the Ludwig Museum, while the exhibition by Károly Escher in the Mai Manó Ház is also expected to raise much public appeal.
Besides these glimpses at the classic, the Festival offers insights into several contemporary endeavors, both Hungarian and international. As a founding member of Photofestival Union it is our ongoing intention to implement our projects in an international context. Accordingly, we are launching Fotóporta 6., providing an opportunity for photographers to introduce their works to domestic and international experts in the frame of a portfolio review session. This brochure is intended to assist visitors to navigate the maze of events PhotoMonth 2010 is bringing to the city.
We hope that it will succeed in raising your interest and we shall have the privilege of meeting you among many other visitors at our exhibitions.
