7th through 18th January 2009 Foundation FotoDepartament presents the exhibition “Young Russian Photography/2008” within the 16th annual exhibition “Petersburg – 2008”. Second time in the Central exhibition hall Manezh it is shown series of photography of all young photographers who participated in the second season of the project “Proper noun”. During the year 2008 FotoDepartament presented 13 personal exhibitions of young photographers. As curators performed famous professionals of Russian art field and photography. Project “Proper noun” aims to help young photographers to find their own voice. Every exhibition has two actors – young artist and curator – famous photographer, artist, photo editor or galerist.
To find and show perspective photographers is part of FotoDepartament work. Next phase within the project is the collaboration between young artist and famous one who finds a new name during the teaching, portfolio review or in Internet. This collaboration is absolutely unselfish.
Important characteristic of the project “Proper Noun” is that the personal exhibition – first for most of young photographers – becomes just a beginning of the collaboration with young artist. As he gets different possibilities for the further growth: participation in the other projects of FotoDepartament, group exhibitions and festivals, possibilities to work with Russian and foreign editions, publications in the albums and magazines, establishment of the useful professional contacts.
