An Exhibition Space in Photo City at Copenhagen Photo Festival Includes

Photo City

This application procedure addresses artists and photographers who wish to be part of the festival’s centre, Photo City, during Copenhagen Photo Festival that takes place June 1st -11th.

Photo City is curated and organised by CPF. It’s a unique centre of the festival consisting of exhibitions, workshops, artist talks, vernissages etc. created on the occasion of the festival. Photo City only exists during the festival period. Applicants should note that the space in Photo City is very limited, and for this reason CPF has to be very selective about the exhibited projects. It is a requirement that the project as a whole hasn’t been exhibited in Denmark before.

The application is processed by CPF’s manager Maja Dyrehauge Gregersen and the programme committee, consisting of Charlotte Præstegaard Schwartz, a postdoctoral fellow, Søren Pagter, head of photojournalism studies at the Danish School of Media and Journalism, and Jens Erdman Rasmussen, independent curator.

For example participation in a video or podcast in relation to the festival, invitation to hold an artist talk during the festival and to do a ‘weekly takeover’ on the festival’s instagram profile during autumn 2017. At the same time, we kindly ask the exhibitors to share news about the festival in their own network for example via social media. This may include news about the opening party, activities related to the specific exhibition and other relevant material.

There are some general conditions related to being part of Photo City:
