Het Fotomuseum Winterthur organiseerde afgelopen weekend onder de naam Plat(t)form 2012 een grote portfolio viewing met werk van opkomend fotografisch talent. Zes deskundigen vonden dat van de 42 getoonde portfolio’s er zeven ‘special attention’ verdienen. In die keuze zitten drie Nederlandse fotografen: Anna Dasovic, Florian van Roekel en Niels Stomps.
De andere vier zijn de Russisch-Deense Mari Bastashevski, het Britse koppel Asam Murray & Robert Parkinson, De Fransman Olivier Cablat en de Brit Andy Sewell.
Het Engelse persbericht meldt verder:
With approximately 1000 visitors – among others, six curators from all over the world invited by Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia, publishers, writers and an extremely interested photography crowd from Switzerland and its surroundings – the 42 selected photographers found their public.
The following six experts were strolling around during the weekend, talking intensely to the artists in order to find out which portfolios they find most interesting: Caroline von Courten, managing editor FOAM Magazine, Amsterdam; Patrick Frey, artbook publisher, Zurich; Susan Meiselas, documentary photographer, New York; Wilhelm Schürmann, collector, Aachen/Berlin; Thomas Seelig, curator Fotomuseum Winterthur; Urs Stahel, director and curator Fotomuseum Winterthur.
