17.08. – 5.11.2017

Photography exhibition “Moving Photography” featuring works by Latvian photographer Vika Eksta will be exhibited from 17th August in Latvian Museum of Photography.

Animated photography exhibition “Moving Photography” helps to study, interpret and improve the current exhibition of historical photography of the Latvian Museum of Photography, which is devoted to the development of photography media, by supplementing it with contemporary content. Animated photographs were taken while the author was working on objects exhibiting at the museum's permanent exhibition and with the museum staff, creating moving images in which these objects and people appear in the main role, thus, both reflecting on the media and technical development of photography, as well as allowing the viewer to see the historical exhibition “anew”.

On Thursday, February 23, at 6.15 p.m. Latvian Museum of Photography invites you to a discussion evening and the exhibition “Sword Lilies” viewing together with the author - photographer Iveta Vaivode. Entrance fee 1.42 € (exhibition entrance price).
During discussion evening meeting the visitors will have time to ask the author about “behind the scenes” creation of the exhibition “Sword Lilies” and its results, to clarify issues raised by visiting an exhibition or the opening of the exhibition without the opportunity to meet the author. During the meeting the artist will also talk about her other projects, as well as share her impressions about the experience above the Arctic Circle.

In collaboration with Riga Photography Biennale 2016 Latvian Museum of Photography calls for applications for two-day masterclass “Concepts of editing” and portfolio review led by award winning photographer Sarker Protick (VII Photo). Participation fee: 60 euro.

Latvian Museum of Photography has improved its historical exhibition by making a new informative wall about George Benjamin (Juris Benjamiņš, 1918 – 1993) who was one of the pioneers of color photography in Latvia.
