Condition Report: Meet the Artists/Discussion


Saturday 30 October, 11am - 3pm at Turner House, Penarth 

Condition Report is the work of six Czech artists associated with the Department of Photography at FAMU (the School of Film and Television of the Academy of Performing Arts) in Prague. Their work represents a range of contemporary art practices in some way rooted in photography and lens-based media.

At this unique event, Dr. Ian Walker from University of Wales Newport and Robert Silverio, Head of Photography at FAMU, will discuss how the work exhibits certain Czech characteristics, but also the ideas and influences of a wider international art scene. After the discussion, the artists Vojtěch Fröhlich, Jan Měřička and Radek and Zdeněk Květoň will be giving a personal tour of their work on display. Their work represents a range of contemporary art practices that are in some way rooted in photography and lens-based media.
 
Please join us for this exciting opportunity to meet the artists and engage in critical discussion about the work and its wider context. Refreshments will be available.

FREE event booking essential - please email turnerhouse@ffotogallery.org 

Condition Report shows at Ffotogallery, Turner House, Penarth from 29 October – 11 December 2010. The project has been developed through a partnership between Ffotogallery, the European Centre of Photographic Research, University of Wales Newport and FAMU, Prague.
