The European Month of photography (EMoP) welcomes Ljubljana as a new member of the EMoP association!

During a meeting in Berlin in October 2011 theEMoP board has adopted a new statute. Moscow and Rom are no longer members of EMoP, they’ve been replaced by the festivals in Ljubljana and Budapest. EMoP intention is to continuewith the collaboration within its common projects including a major exhibition to be shown in Berlin, Bratislava, Ljubljana, Luxembourg, and Vienna in 2012/2013 entitled distURBANces. The exhibition showcases photographic works dedicated to mostly urban landscapes and future worlds.

In the context of the European Month of Photography first held in 2004 and which included festivals in Paris, Berlin, Bratislava, Luxembourg, Moscow, Rome, and Vienna, it was both legitimate and necessary to look collectively at the profound changes afoot in the world, and in particular those taking place in the field of contemporary images. This was the motivation behind the 2006 exhibition entitled ‘Mutations I’, an exhibition focusing on technological and artistic change in the area of photography. The second edition of the exhibition project, ‘Mutations II’, aimed to pursue this line of thought on the subject of video, this time exploring the productive relationships that have developed between fixed and moving images and providing a sense of where contemporary art stands in Europe today.

Mutations II will be presented during Photonic Moments – Month of Photography in Ljubljana.

At the present time there are festivals from seven European capitals connected into EMOP network: Berlin, Bratislava, Budapest, Ljubljana, Luxemburg, Paris and Vienna
