FotoFest Envisions a New Theme for 2012


Thank you for submitting your work for consideration for FOTOFEST 2012, the Fourteenth International Biennial Month of Photography and Photo-Related Arts.

FotoFest will be publically announcing the Biennial theme and dates this week. As you know the FotoFest 2012 theme would focus on how artists are conceiving and depicting the future of life and human existence on the earth. Given the scale of this particular project we have found it is necessary to have more time to plan this concept and we have to move it to 2014.  We want to let you to be one of the first to know the new.

We would like to hold your submission for consideration for 2014 Biennial. We hope the change of focus will not cause you any difficulties or inconvenience. 

For the 2012 Biennial, FotoFest’s  focus will be Russia and FotoFest’s own exhibitions will focus on Contemporary Russian Photography - Post-war Avant-garde to the Present.  This will be work by Russian photographers working in Russia.

We will be accepting submissions on behalf of For Participating Spaces FotoFest shows submissions on a special website to Participating Spaces possible exhibition by them during the Biennial. These works can be about Contemporary Russia by artists of any nationality or work unrelated to FotoFest’s Russian Theme. Let me know if you would like to have your submission considered under the new focus or if you would like us to hold it for the 2014 focus.

The deadline for submissions is Friday, April 1, 2011.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Ward
