Meet with IKS PHOTO at the Touring Exhibitions Pavilion
The IKS PHOTO was founded in 2022 as the new photo department of the IKS – institute for art documentation, which is the biggest media archive on contemporary art in Europe. Since 2020 the IKS produces mayor survey exhibitions on contemporary photography since the 1970s with a focus on the development of the media of photography in Europe. Next to the innovative and sustainable concept of an individual and “growing” exhibition, all exhibitions are presented with selected partner institutions in Germany and Europe. In close cooperation with the partners, the exhibitions are focused on artistic and art historical significance as well as social and societal relevance.
Following the success of “FACING BRITAIN”, we will present our new exhibition “UK WOMEN. British Photography between Social Criticism and Identity”. This powerful and extraordinary exhibition focusses on the artistic voices of 28 women photographers which are covering all mayor themes of our days with a strong artistic attitude.
