VISUAL LEADER 2012 –THE BEST OF MAGAZINES AND INTERNET
Photography, Advertising, Online and Editorial Design − Showcasing Creative Talent
21 June − 12 August 2012

The exhibition "VisualLeader - the best of magazines and Internet" features exciting picture series, fascinating photos, original advertisements, creative websites, and much more. For the eighth time, the nominees and winners of the LeadAwards will be presented at Haus der Photographie at Deichtorhallen Hamburg. Photo series, magazine features, ads and websites will be on show – the best of what German magazines had to offer in 2011.

The exhibition encompasses all the works that last year won one of the coveted LeadAwards, Germany’s top print and online media award.

»VisualLeader« is not only the largest exhibition of its kind in Germany, but also has a very special format: In contrast to other competitions for creative professionals, you cannot enter the LeadAwards yourself. An independent jury of experts combs through the entire year’s issues of around 400 German magazines and picks out prize-worthy articles. A high-profile jury then judges and evaluates them, ensuring a completely independent and truly comprehensive judgment. Those awarded Gold, Silver or Bronze awards can rightly claim to be among the best of the best.

HARUN FAROCKI
»EIN NEUES PRODUKT«
JUNE 21 TO AUGUST 26, 2012 AT THE HOUSE OF PHOTOGRAPHY

From June 21 to August 12, House of Photography at Deichtorhallen Hamburg will be premiering Harun Farocki’s video production "Ein neues Produkt". The piece was created in the context of the »Neue Auftraggeber« initiative and realized as part of the collaboration with »Kunst und Kultur in der HafenCity«.


The »Neue Auftraggeber« (New Clients) initiative involves curators from many European countries and seeks to develop a new approach to art in public space: citizens from different walks of society are given the opportunity to work closely with an artist and a curator to co-manage art projects that focus on their respective local context.


For the Hamburg project, Harun Farocki worked together with staff from the corporate consultancy »Quickborner Team«. »QT« has, among others, advised several companies that have relocated to HafenCity. Where new living space is being created the companies are busy exploring how to create new working spaces. How can corporations approach new urban space? What role does architecture place in relation to the organization of work processes? How are changes in society reflected in corporate structures? Farocki spent over a year covering meetings »QT« held on developing a new consultancy product – and in the way a group of staff members became participants in an artistic process.


Born in 1944 in Novy Jicin, Farocki has since 1966 completed over 100 productions for TV or cinema, including TV programming for children, documentaries, essay films and stHARUN FAROCKI
