Starting in September 2011, it creates a space for young photographers to work regularly and intensively on a new major project. They gather every three months for three days and work under the guidance of two renowned photographers who both have extensive experience in teaching photography: OSTKREUZ photographer Ute Mahler, and Robert Lyons from the University of Hartford. The small group will lead a lively dialogue about photography and the resulting images, so that knowledge, skills and individual photographic language will be enhanced in exchange with others. According to the complex web of relations in which a photographer works, regular guests like curators, publishers or gallery owners will offer their point of view.

Classes will be held in English and German.
Email applications until May 31, 2011. Further information: http://www.ostkreuzschule.de/index.php?page=meisterkurs-2#english

Scaffold Builder, boilerman and elevator mechanic. Unwelcome chronicler of the East German reality, who could show his pictures only in secrecy. East German Rock ´n´Roller who was kept under observation by the Stasi under the codename "operation cyclists". After the reunification OSTKREUZ co-founder and ultimately German Federal Cross of Merit carrier. Such a life definitely deserves celluloid!

In the group exhibition "Body" Sibylle Fendt shows excerpts from her work "Facing Breast Cancer".
The exhibition deals with the interpretation of the body from two distinct perspectives: from the perspective of the artist as well as from the perspective of the person being photographed. The body is first and foremost part of the reality of every human being. Thus, the definition of the body for oneself and for other has essential importance. "Body"

"During my stay in Seoul I used the opportunity to visit Sibylle's exhibition once again. It made me remember the opening of the retrospective in the Academy of Arts in Berlin. Although four years have passed and a lot has happened in the meantime, I clearly recall all of us sitting together at a big table in the hallway of the Academy. Back then nobody thought that one day the exhibition would be her photographic legacy and tour the world without her. Walking through the exhibition in Seoul, I realised that Sibylle will always remain present in her pictures."

According to the United Nations Grozny was the most destroyed city in the world. Meanwhile, a part of the city is rebuilt, but it is still far from working normally. With a grant of VG Bild-Kunst Heinrich Voelkel is documenting the architecture of the reconstruction and the wounds left by the war in the city and to the people.

From 04 - 14 November 2010 Julian Roeder will stay in Seoul for the G20 summit. There he will continue his long-term documentary project "The Summits". In this project, he photographs since 2001 the protests that take place at the edges of the security zones of state summits. www.julianroeder.com
