Panel Discussion: “On Publishing (Photography)”

Friday, 7 July 2017, 12 noon – 1 p.m.

Arles, Ancien collège Mistral

At the suggestion of Abigail Solomon-Godeau (author and emeritus professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara) and Arno Gisinger (artist and lecturer at the Université Paris 8), Camera Austria International and EIKON initiated a dialogue about the future of print publications on photography with their “On Publishing (Photography)” at LE BAL in Paris (May 2017). In Arles, this discussion will continue with Solomon-Godeau, Gisinger, Nela Eggenberger (editor-in-chief of EIKON), and Sabine Weier (art critic and editor of Camera Austria International) about the role played by magazines in discourse on photography as a contemporary art practice that has developed since the late 1970s and still today influences the exploration of the topic.

Camera Austria International and EIKON are each presenting their current issue in the garden of the project Fotohaus Arles curated by the ParisBerlin>fotogroup. At 7 p.m. Sabine Weier (art critic and editor of Camera Austria International) will be speaking with the Vienna-based artist Tatiana Lecomte about her work. Lecomte’s photographic projects reflect a significantly political approach to interpretation and reference questions of representation, the role of the photographic image as part of a regime of visibility, and the ways in which photography is involved in the production of history.
