A dialogue between ten artists

Contemporary Art Centre of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki

The works by five Spanish and Latin-American artists, who participated in PHotoEspaña 2007 and the works of five Greek artists who participated in the Portfolio Reviews of the Photobiennale/20th International Photography Meeting 2008 are now being presented in the form of an open “dialogue” at the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography (T.M.P.).
These two group exhibitions are part of the TMP series: «Dialogues: Greek and Foreign Artists».

The Spanish-Latin American part
Five European Gazes. Spanish and Latin American Photography
Artists: Pedro Álvarez, Matías Costa, Juan González, David Jiménez, María Isabel Rueda
Curator: Nina Kassianou

Five European curators – Camila Brown, Nina Kassianou, Joanna Studzinska, Olga Sviblova, Enrica Viganò – have chosen Pedro Álvarez, Matías Costa, Juan González, David Jiménez and María Isabel Rueda for the project “Cinco miradas europeas. Fotografía española e hispanoamericana” (Five European Gazes. Spanish and Latin American Photography), which was organized in 2007 by the Instituto Cervantes in collaboration with PHotoEspaña, aiming at the promotion of Spanish culture abroad.

Their work reflects a blend of styles and trends, while some of them have already won international recognition. Matías Costa for example, is a two-time winner of the World Press Photo prize and the recipient of the UNICEF Prize in 2000 for his photo essay on the orphan victims of the genocide in Rwanda while María Isabel Rueda, a Colombian photographer, won a Phillips Art Contest for the Young Talents prize in her country.
