Paris photo

  

Some of us met at Paris Photo  for an in official meeting with friends and guest curators : here some picture of Paul diFelice ( Luxembourg ) taking some notes at the Grand Palais exhibition during the VIP opening on November 13th and former Paris representative Barbara Wolffer now in charge of the street art collection of the City of Paris during a dinner at Bofinger's.

A new curator for Berlin: Frank Wagner

Frank Wagner from Berlin was attending this last meeting of the year in Vienna ( his second after Budapest ). He joined the network recently and is curating the Berlin exhibition within the " Europäischer Monat der Fotografie ).

Emop Meeting in Budapest

Beginning of October, our new member Budapest was hosting a quite important meeting of EMoP as we had to consider the new topic of our next common exhibition ( scheduled automn 2014 and spring 2015 ). Also important: the statutes of the association were to be signed by Budapest, Ljubljana and Luxembourg. They are scheduled to travel to Berlin, Vienna and Paris. Hopefully this will be a new start as the association will now have a legal basis.

Budapest meeting place

Meeting place in Budapest was Mai Mano Haz, belonging to the Hungarian Photographer's association in the very center of Budapest. The House belonged to Mai Manó, an Imperial and Royal Court Photographer (1855- 1917)who  had his eight-story hous - home and studio - built in fourteen months in 1893-94.

Paris meeting in July

The Maison européenne de la photographie was hosting the summer meeting. The weather was fine, everybody was assisting except Bratislava; but thanks to video-conferencing, the problem was quickly solved. It was decided not to host the next meeting in Bratislava but in Budapest  ( October ) as the city recently joined and did not yet have a meeting.
A view of the Faubourg Saint Antoine and the Metro station Saint Paul, our favorite meeting spot.

Emop meeting in Luxembourg: April 2013

Emop members met in Luxembourg on April 24/25th to discuss further projects and the next common exhibition ( subject still pending ); the new statutes were discussed and hopefully will be signed by all on the next meeting in Paris in July. After the opening of "Disturbances" at the Musée national d'Art et d'Histoire, The Abbaye de Neumunster hosted the meeting. Guest were Stavros Moresopoulos and son from Athens who are interested in joining the group.
