The Bolesławiec Photographic Society, the “Camera” Photographic Association, the Bolesławiec Association of Collectors and Enthusiasts of the City’s History, and the Museum of Ceramics invite you to attend the Open Meeting for Photography Enthusiasts, which will be held on Saturday, November 5, at the Museum of Ceramics building at 14 Kutuzowa Street. At 11:00 a.m., the competition “Bolesławiec Yesterday and Today” will be decided. In this year’s edition, participants drew one photograph each by Rudolf or Alojzy Skorupa. The task for those taking part in the competition was to find the object or place shown in the photograph and take a contemporary photograph of it. The jury, comprising: Janusz Moniatowicz (photographer, member of ZPAF), Jerzy Paluszczyszyn (Bolesławiec photographer), Edward Miżdal (president of the Bolesławiec Association of Collectors and Enthusiasts of the City’s History), and Agata Kozioł (Museum of Ceramics in Bolesławiec), will assess the photographs in two categories—professionals and amateurs. The winners will receive attractive prizes funded by the Bolesławiec City Office and the Bolesławiec Association of Collectors and Enthusiasts of the City’s History.
At 12:00, Andrzej Pytliński will deliver a lecture entitled “Contemporary Problems of Artistic Craftsmanship in Photography” and conduct a demonstration of the wet collodion ambrotype process. At 1:30 p.m., there will be a discussion devoted to contemporary photography and the Bolesławiec photography community.
On November 5, admission to the exhibition “The Bolesławiec Photographic Movement after 1945” and the permanent exhibition of the City History Department of the Museum of Ceramics will be free.
The Open Meeting for Photography Enthusiasts is one of the events commemorating the 30th anniversary of the Bolesławiec Photographic Society and the 40th anniversary of the organized photography movement in Bolesławiec. The event is financed from the budget of the city of Bolesławiec.
