KF 41 can be ordered - HERE Today, i.e. March 22, 2023, a print run of "KF" No. 41 arrived from the printing house smelling of ink. Already looking at the cover you will notice some changes in the appearance of our magazine. In fact, we have undergone a small facelift, which is the work of Piotr Zdanowicz, who designed the previous layout 20 years ago. The changes will certainly appeal to you....
The Board of the Wielkopolska Branch of ZPAF convened the first post-sandem meeting of members on Thursday, January 5. As I was driving to this meeting I received sad news - on the same day passed away the Man to whom this branch of ZPAF, and in general, the entire photographic environment in Poznan owes so much. It was thanks to his determination that it was in Poznan that photography found its way into the salons....
Arthur is an ultra-subjective and uncompromising photographer; he recognizes only the traditional technique, i.e. analog, personal processing of the negative and the print. Each copy is made with his heart and mind, and the goal of his photographic activity is to express the inner self, what is inside him and worthy of being revealed. It doesn't matter where he photographs, what matters is how and that he is the one with total power....
On Thursday, December 8, 2022 at 7pm, the opening of a group exhibition entitled "Forms of Thought" will begin at the Old Gallery in Warsaw, the main headquarters of the ZPAF, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Association. The show is curated by Jola Rycerska, head of the Association. The invited artists address the "theme of philosophical reflection in photography" - each author, in one large photograph (format) or in a series, circulates...
Looking at the photographs Maciej Sztorc sent to us, the first thought that came to my mind was to recall a saying by Andrzej Jerzy Lech: "the most important thing for your camera is what is 15 meters away from it". The meaning, and therefore also the implications of this phrase, are so capacious and extensive that developing it one could write many a dissertation. One...
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...
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...
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,....
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...
"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...
