PHOTOQUAI – 4th edition at Musée Branly


PHOTOQUAI – 4th edition

17/09/13 – 17/11/13

Artistic director: Frank Kalero

PARIS: The fourth édition of PHOTOQUAI or PHQ4, the world photography biennale created in 2007 by the musée du quai Branly, will take place from 17 September to 17 November along the banks of the Seine and in the museum gardens
. It will be presented in partnership with Parisian cultural institutions. 

The artistic director of this fourth edition is artist Frank Kalero, globetrotter and passionate lover of
photography
. Under the heading «Look at me», the entire programme is a tribute to the human figure

.
To help him with the task Frank Kalero has chosen eight curators, who are all iconic figures in their
own part of the world : John Fleetwood for Africa; Hester Keijser for the Near and Middle East; Shahidul
Alam for Asia; Bohnchang Koo for China and the Far East; Liza Faktor for the FSU; Claudi Carreras for
Latin America; Alexander Supartono for South-East Asia; and Anne Noble for Oceania.

40 photographers
from all over the planet have been chosen for their original, sensitive vision of other people and their
environments
. I would like to express my gratitude to the artistic director and the associate curators for
their work and the calibre of their selection.


This year’s selection includes 40 photographers from 28 countries.

 

This year, the programme is completed by two exhibitions within the museum’s walls : in the Mezzanine Ouest, NOCTURNES DE COLOMBIE, Images contemporaines and in the atelier Martine Aublet, the winners of the PHOTOQUAIResidencies
