The Foundation for Visual Arts organises other cultural events, publishes books, as well as digitalises photographic archives, including documentary photographs of Wojciech Plewiński, Zygmunt Rytka and Zofia Rydet's Sociological Record. This mission is pursued during the Foundation's key projec – the annual Krakow Photomonth Festival which focuses on promoting young artists and new initiatives. Dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of visual arts in Poland, with an emphasis on photography, the Foundation has sought out new definitions of what photography is within the context of contemporary art, history, and social sciences. ShowOFF and Krakow Photomonth Festival are organised by The Foundation for Visual Arts, a non-profit organisation established in 2001 in Krakow, Poland. By participating in the ShowOFF Section, artists join a platform for the exchange of knowledge and experiences at an international scale, and have the opportunity to establish long-term relationships and cooperation with notable representatives of the artistic community. Each project will be presented as a solo exhibition during Krakow Photomonth 2022, the festival's special 20th edition. Invited curators individually guide participants through all stages of the artistic project and exhibition – from concept development and editing of material, to the selection of formats, papers, and frames, to the drafting and fine-tuning of texts accompanying the exhibition, and finally to the arrangement of work within the exhibition space. As organisers, we provide specialist and promotional support both during and after Photomonth.
#SHOWOFF COM PROFESSIONAL#
The ShowOFF format provides artists with the opportunity to gain experience within a professional artistic environment, and also allows each participant to present their work to a diverse audience during a festival with international reach. By participating in the ShowOFF Section, emerging artists, chosen via an open call, have the opportunity to work with recognised and experienced specialists in the field of visual arts, including the invited curators and festival organisers helping to guide, oversee and promote their projects.
The ShowOFF Section, devoted to premiering projects by artists making their debut, is one of the main parts of the Krakow Photomonth programme.
