KF Patronage - Labyrinth 2022, Słubice/Frankfurt/Oder
The LABIRYNT Festival of New Art was conceived 23 years ago by Jerzy Olek, with the first 10 editions held in Klodzko. Later, from the 13th edition, the festival moved to Slubice, where the Okno Gallery, run by Anna Panek-Kusz, a student of Professor Jerzy Olek, operated in the Slubice Municipal Cultural Center. From its inception, the event was interdisciplinary, meaning that it presented generally...
Pre-sale of paper "KF" No. 40 - until the end of November
It has been almost 10 years since the last printed issue 39 of "Quarterly Photography" was published. On June 1, 2022, we reactivated "KF" in the form of a website combined with an online store (tab Gallery KF") offering archival issues of our magazine, as well as books and collectible prints, and now we are returning to the old form of the magazine, that is, on paper. Issue 40 will reach you in...
Vintage Photo Festival - "The Power of Women" - still to come Sunday
I was in Bydgoszcz the previous weekend and plan to return there on Saturday or Sunday, October 1 or 2, 2022, because I really enjoyed the festival. I want to see the main exhibitions again, this time in peace and quiet, without the vernissage hustle and bustle, at the Rothera Mills, a sensational exhibition space. Perhaps there will be enough time to get to other venues,....
Maciej Bonk - this time in Ponidzie
The author of the photographs wrote thus: The primary function of my photographs is to be more in a given place. The secondary is to show others how I see a place with the hope that someone will find such a view interesting, or similar to their own. The decision to publish photos from Ponidzie is not an easy one, as there are probably hundreds of photos taken there every day, many of which...
Taming loneliness by Michal Lewandowski
"Boxing is not chess - here you have to think". - this golden thought of Jerzy Kulej, Olympic boxing champion from many years ago, has gone down in history not only of funny sayings of athletes. It was so surprising and "improbable" that it prompted... thinking, which, however, does not have to be boxing. Michal Lewandowski is a chess player, but also a photographer with a love of nature, who, with the help of...
Pawel Zak - photographs that avoid words
Pawel Zak is one of those photographers who, with incredible lightness, can use what the old masters used to call "the light of the image." The repeatedly shown and awarded series of his photos entitled "Stories" is an eloquent example of great visual culture in an artist whose works completely belong to the latest currents in contemporary photography. "Stories" is, in my opinion, a multi-layered ...
Self-therapy with self-portraits - Matthew Kowalczyk
There is probably no photographer who has not taken a self-portrait. The most famous among the pioneers of the invention of photography was certainly Hippolyte Bayard, who as early as 1840, photographing himself as a "suicide," expressed his great regret to the whole world that it was not to him that the palm of precedence in the invention of photography was awarded, but to some Daguerre or Talbot. Also, later artists very...
Natalia LL is no longer with us - we recall two articles
On Friday, August 12, 2022, Natalia Lach-Lachowicz, one of the most recognizable figures in Polish photography, died at the age of 85. "Kwartalnik Fotografia" wrote about the Wroclaw-based artist many times between 2000 and 2012, and to check it out and get to all the articles it is best to look at the Great Personal Index, which is part of Krzysztof Szymoniak's book, Without Aperture - 13 years....
