ENERGY – new Futures exhibition in Budapest

Autumn is a time for us to work with international partners and artists we have invited to cooperate within the Futures platform. Our next event will be meetings of all participants of this international project.

The annual FUTURES event in 2023 is hosted by the Robert Capa Center for Contemporary Photography in Budapest. Over the next three days, meetings and discussions devoted to contemporary photography will be held there. One hundred artists, twenty curators (Fotofestiwal will be represented by Marta Szymańska and Krzysztof Candrowicz) and people running the most important international photographic institutions will participate in them. These are some of the activities of the international FUTURES platform, which brings together European institutions, media and photography festivals, that prepare a plan of events and workshops for emerging artists on the European scene.

A new traveling exhibition prepared as a part of the platform’s activities will also have its first appearance in Budapest. The first exhibition of this type was “On the verge”, which you could see at this year’s Fotofestiwal and co-curated by our colleague from the program department, Marta Szymańska. This year, the theme of the group exhibition is “ENERGY 2023: Redistributing Power and Taming Consumption”. All artists who have so far participated in the Futures project could propose their projects. Finally, from over a hundred submissions, the following works were selected: Biró Dávid (HU), Umberto Diecinove (IT), Tanja Engelberts (NL), Antonio Guerra (ES), Hien Hoang (VE/DE), Yana Kononova (UA), Marta Pinto Machado ( CV/PT) and Yana Wernicke (DE). Each of them will present a unique and diverse perspective on the topic of ENERGY, and the projects will be presented first at the Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center (Budapest), then at PhotoIreland (Dublin) and FOTODOK (Utrecht). The exhibition was prepared by an expert team consisting of: Ángel Luis González and Julia Gelezova (PhotoIreland), Emese Mucsi (Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center), Daria Tuminas (FOTODOK), and Pamela Peters (FOMU).
