Riccardo
Pezza Photography Award
Deadline : 16 November,
2007
The prize is open to ex-student of photography
courses who have graduated not earlier than 2002. The theme of the
prize this year is: NARRATING A PLACE. 35.00 Euro participation fee
is required.
The Prize was instituted in 1995 in memory
of Riccardo Pezza, a young photographer who completed his studies in
photography at CFP Bauer in Milan. Up until the sixth edition, the
Prize, conceived by "Amici di Riccardo Pezza" (Friends of Riccardo
Pezza), was open exclusively to students and alumni of the school,
and organized by CFP Bauer. In 1999, the competition was opened on a
national level, with the aim of promoting the production of young
photographers and favouring the dialogue amongst the diverse
experiences in the field of Italian photography. The opening of the
prize on a national level was made possible thanks to the
contribution of AL.B.UM, a cultural association of ex-photography
students, professors, and friends of CFP Bauer and of the
professional courses of Società Umanitaria.
Since 2006 the
Triennale di Milano, which provided the venue for the exhibition of
the finalists from 2003 to 2006, and the Museo di Fotografia
Contemporanea, which provided the venue for the exhibition of the
finalists in 2007, have both been promoters of the Prize. As of
2007, the Prize has been opened on a European level.
The
theme of the work, pursuing continuity with the thematic choices
made by Riccardo in his formative years, is:
NARRATING A
PLACE
As part of a reflection on contemporary places, the work
can freely express the relationship between reality and
representation.

PROJECT
Labotanica
I
wanted to share some news that I've started a new project called
labotanica. It is fledgling and intentionally small. labotanica
essentially features three elements---- a small grants program
offered twice a year, a modest quarterly magazine, and an archive
which is in progress. labotanica maps intersections between poetics
and social transformation. While the website and archive are still
being developed, I wanted to announce that there are two
opportunities coming up, including the grants program and
submissions for the first issue of the magazine.
The next
deadline for the grants program is 1/15/08. I've kicked it off by
contributing $120. Like cadre
and service
works, it is small program created by artists and it basically
makes funding more accessible and it thrives on reciprocity. I'm
interested in challenging the traditional model of funding and
believe that philanthropy can happen on many levels, with everyday
people. Grants fund small projects that intersect poetics and social
transformation such as research, art projects, small exhibitions,
writing, interviews, community gardens, social work, small
performance, or studies in healing. If you have questions send me an
email. You can apply online or you can send it to me through email,
which might be easier. To apply, submit 500 word proposal, work
sample, application and ten dollar donation. For more info, or if
you would like to make a donation to the grants program: http://labotani
ca.org/projects.html
As for the magazine, the theme is
"The Search for Virginity", inspired by Jimmie Durham's 1991 essay.
A modest printed quarterly publication, the magazine will feature
material from labotanica's archive and new articles and interviews,
centered on "The Search for Virginity". Materials will range
including takes on colonialism and Manifest Destiny to new
beginnings and rebirth. To contribute, for advertising rates, or
just to support, contact la@labotanica.org

nica.org/magazine.html
Let me know if you have any
questions, and please forward this announcement to like minds.
