Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal, 14th edition
International Biennial of the Contemporary Image

THE POST-PHOTOGRAPHIC CONDITION

Guest Curator Joan Fontcuberta
10 SEPT - 11 OCT 2015

Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal’s 14th edition publication is now available!

Edited by Joan Fontcuberta, this major reference book is illustrated with the works of the 29 artists exhibited in the biennial. In addition, leading experts in the field critically investigate the post-photographic condition, exploring communication and transmission of visual data in cyberspace, the boundaries of virtual reality, as well as the Internet as a new public space in which the proliferation of images reflect and shape the world. This publication challenges us to re-examine what photography is today.

With essays by Joan Fontcuberta, Derrick de Kerckhove, Suzanne Paquet, Fred Ritchin, David Tomas.

ARTISTS

EVENTS

October 1 to October 3, 2015

We are now fully immersed in the second digital revolution whose instruments are the Internet and the smartphone, whose supports are the web and the personal device. This international conference, À partir d'aujourd'hui... Reconsidering Postphotography, has been organized by three long-term institutional partners in photographic studies, Concordia University (CU), Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), and Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal (MPM), to address the artistic and social impacts of current photographic technology.

PUBLICATIONS

Each edition of Le Mois de la Photo à Montréal is accompanied by a major, lavishly illustrated scholarly publication.

More than an exhibition catalogue, this stands alone as a reference work that readers can use to deepen their understanding of the theme of the biennal. In addition to an original essay by Joan Fontcuberta, this year’s publication, entitled The Post- Photographic Condition, brings together four previously unpublished texts by experts in contemporary and media arts: Derrick de Kerckhove (Ontario, Canada), Suzanne Paquet (Quebec, Canada), Fred Ritchin (United States), and David Tomas (Quebec, Canada).

A veritable panorama of the most recent trends in contemporary image-making, the book includes abundant photographs of the works presented.
