Dear (Polish) Colleagues: Photographers, Curators, Gallerists,


you may have already heard that the spring program of "*Kaunas Photo
09*" festival, the biggest yearly photographic festival in the
Baltic states, usually celebrates photography of a county or a
region. We have gone quite thorouhly through the Nordic Photography
(2004, 2006), presented the unknown Georgian photography (2007),
explored the amazing Australian photography (2008).

The sixth festival of *Kaunas Photo 09* in its spring edition is
committed to honour the new and yet unknown Polish photography. The
events will start on May 20, 2009 in Kaunas and the exhibitions will
last for the month. We will have exhibitions, night slideshows,
formal and informal meetings. Works of authors that will not fit
into exhibitions, but will be selected for the program, will be
screened during the nightshows and also other works of artists,
whose works will already be in exhibitions will be also screened in
the projections, giving the wider context of photographer's creation.

Would you like be a part of this big event? Or do you know
photographers who would ?

If so, please email me some 1-3 portfolios of your work, with 10-15
pictures in each of them. Also it can be a curatorial project or
just a project, a performance, an idea.

Themes: free.
Priorities: 1) works never showed in Lithuania and Baltic states, 2)
completely new works, 3) works that have connections with Lithuania
or neighbouring countries;
To: festival@light.lt , picture size: 1200
px the longer side, 90% jpg;
E-mailing: No more than 5 MB per email attachment;
When: As soon as possible. A part of the program is ready, but i am
looking for other works, trying to contextualize the exhibitions,
venues, dates etc. Formal deadline: deadline: March 27, 2009, but if
sufficient amount of quality work is received, the program may be
considered completed anytime.

Thanks for taking note of this email. Also, thanks for distributing
this news to your friends, Polish photographers, artists using
photography, curators.

See you in Kaunas ? It all depends on YOU :)
