LIP member Vanja Karas is once again curating this Open Salon at Galerie Huit in Arles with a call for entries deadline on 10th May 2012. Last year the Arles Photography Open Salon showcased 112 Artists from 32 countries. The exhibition gives participants the opportunity to show work during and alongside the renowned Les Rencontres d’Arles photography festival for nearly three months, in the magnificent settings of Galerie Huit. The exhibition moves to South East Asia in early 2013.
Les Rencontres d’Arles is the highlight of the international photography calendar: last year festival attendees were estimated at 84000, including prominent international collectors, curators, gallerists, artists, publishers and photographers.
Last year LIP memebers exhibiting included Graeme Webb, Sabine Thoele, Camilla Broadbent, Catlin Harrison, Anthony Carr and John Spiller, alongside award winning photographers such as Ed Kashi, Marco di Lauro, Carlo Bevilaqua, Manuel Cosentino, Kate Peters and Mirjana Vrabaski.
