Urban Space with "Sleeping Houses 1" goes traveling!

Email( excerpt) from Wooloo as follows:

Dear URBAN SPACE participant,
 
The opening night of URBAN SPACE in Berlin and Rio went very well with more then 400 visitors in the two locations. Actually, the work was so well received that other venues are interested in hosting the exhibition. 
 
We are very pleased to let you know, that URBAN SPACE has so far been selected for further participation in the 7th Festival of documentary photography FOTOPUB in Slovenia http://www.fotopub.com/english/eng.html, as well as in the 5th edition of FOTO ARTE Brasilia http://www.fotoartebrasilia.com.br/indexbpi.html in Brazil.
 
While FOTO ARTE Brasilia will take place between October and December of this year, FOTOPUB is opening already on the 6th of August and running to the 11th....
 

....Also, we are currently applying for further festival participation with the project, as well as fundraising for a URBAN SPACE publication. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you would like to have your work shown at all upcoming festivals and would like to be included in a possible publication. You will of course be notified if these things happen.
 
Thanks again for participating in URBAN SPACE and supporting Wooloo.
 
All the best,
 
Martin Rosengaard

"Sleeping Houses 1" to be exhibited in Berlin and Rio de Janiero

 I am pleased to announce my involvement in URBAN SPACE co- curated by Wooloo Independent Curators Sixten Kai Nielsen and  Martin Rosengaard both from Berlin with Llana Bessler and  Randolph Albright in Rio de Janeiro. This will be the first public viewing of an image from my new series “Sleeping Houses” that I am currently working on here in Belgium. The works will be presented as projections in this group exhibition which will be shown in Rio de Janeiro and Berlin at the same time. I am excited to be involved in such a project and happy to share this information with my friends and long time supporters. I am grateful to all for your continued interest and support. - Tamara

URBAN SPACE is part of the biannual Brazilian photography festival FotoRio, taking place in Rio de Janeiro in July 2007.

The project includes 25 artists for official participation in the 2007 edition of FotoRio.

URBAN SPACE invited submissions from artists working with issues regarding the urban environment, such as anonymity, community, displacement, informal architectures and gentrification. Traditional documentary photography as well as urban portraits, architectonic interventions, actions and documentation of street art projects were considered for selection.

On July 20th, the selected images will be projected at the festival location Oi Futuro - a landmark cultural institute in Rio de Janeiro. Simultaneous with the projections in Brazil, the same selection will be projected in the Berlin gallery New Life Shop.

Connecting its presence in two major urban centers, URBAN SPACE aims to create a link between the urban experiences of both participating artists and audiences.

FotoRio is established to promote contemporary photography through exhibitions, projections, urban interventions, courses, seminars, workshops, talks and lectures. FotoRio was founded in collaboration with the international photography festival “Festival of Light” - an event created by photographers, collectors and photo studios around the world.

The “Festival of Light” encompasses a range of major photo events such as Mois de la Photo (Paris, France), Encuentros Abiertos de Fotografia (Buenos Aires, Argentina), PhotoEspaña (Madrid, Spain), Fotoseptiembre (México), Fotofest (Houston, USA) and Fototage Herten (Cologne, Germany).

URBAN SPACE is part of the Wooloo Independent Curator program.
