ARTIST TALK WITH HANNE LISE THOMSEN
Hanne Lise Thomsen’s public art works are produced in numerous locations in Denmark and around the world over the last 20 years. Drawing on the interventionist urban art that developed internationally during the 1980s, Hanne Lise Thomsen’s work takes inspiration from political protest movements and the experiments artists began making with new media. By inviting many contributors into her projects, working with local residents and professional photographers alike to articulate these hidden stories on the participants’ own terms, Hanne Lise Thomsen uses the photography of others much like a curator or film director, uncovering obscured histories and revealing them to the viewer in all their complexity.
Hanne Lise Thomsen will talk about her works in public space and relation to photography. The talk will be followed by a round table conversation.
Everyone is welcome. Please email us at mail@foto-studio.org to reserve a seat and receive more info.
The talk will be in Danish.

TALK WITH NICHOLAS MIRZOEFF
“In this presentation, I’m building on work over the past decade to rethink how to activate the visible in the time of the second Nakba (catastrophe), drawing on the “way of seeing” formed in the wake of the 1948 Nakba and decolonization; John Berger’s engagement with Palestine and BDS from 2003; and how to see in and with the “rubble” of the ongoing Second Nakba. In this third segment, I draw on the work of Palestinian artists Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme; the current show “This Is Not An Exhibition” at the Palestinian Museum in Birzeit and photographic practice from within Gaza. Please note: while no depictions of bodily harm will be shown, the implications and meaning of “violence” are central to my discussion.”
The talk will be an online presentation, but will not be streamed. We will be viewing together in the studio.
Everyone is welcome. Please email us at mail@foto-studio.org to reserve a seat and receive more info.
The talk will be in English.

KAMPEN FOR UAFHÆNGIGHED: KVINDELIGE KOMMERCIELLE FOTOGRAFER I DANMARK OMKRING ÅR 1990’.
Omkring år 1900 var 1/3 af de professionelle fotografer i Danmark og i resten af Norden kvinder. Først i 1915 fik de stemmeret, og flere af dem var involveret i kvinderettighedsbevægelsen. For mange blev det en måde at undgå at stifte familie og dermed være afhængig af en mand. De fleste af dem er glemt i dag. Et fællesnordisk forskningsprojekt er i færd med at hente nogle af deres historier frem fra glemslen. Mette Sandbye vil præsentere et par stykker af disse selvforsørgende, teknikfascinerede kvinder, som var alt andet end usynlige i deres egen tid.
Mette Sandbye er cand.mag. og ph.d. i litteraturvidenskab og moderne kultur, professor ved Institut for Kunst- og Kulturvidenskab, Københavns Universitet, kunstanmelder og forfatter til en række tekster og bøger om fotografiet.
Roundtable conversation after the talk.

WORKING WITH PHOTOGRAPHY: Talk by Katy Hundertmark in conversation with Tine Bek + opening reception of Foto Studio.
Katy Hundertmark is a Scottish-German artist and editor currently based in Amsterdam (NL) and working as Managing Editor for Foam Magazine. She earned a Master of Letters in Photography from the Glasgow School of Ar in 2016 and her approach has a strong connection to theater production, employing performance as a way of inhabiting the photographic space. In her early work the staged self-portrait represented thmain medium, however over the past years she has developed a specific interest in the intersectio between photography, sculpture and new ways of translating images into space.
In a conversation with artist Tine Bek, Katy will talk about her work, process and the relationship between her artistic practice and her role as a photo editior.
Bubbles, snacks and opening reception of Foto Studio after the talk.
