Day three - Photography exhibition tour

We woke up to a new president (a few cheers where heard in the early hours of the morning from distant hotel rooms!). We all visited the Martha Rosler show on at Langhans gallery and received an enlightening talk by the curator. It was an excellent chance for the group to question and discuss the business of succeeding as a photographic artist in the tough art market. We got some great advice. In fact, it almost took over thinking about the actual show, which was very interesting. Martha Rosler is an American painter, photographer, activist, essayist, and teacher, is generally considered one of the most influential figures of political and feminist-oriented art in America and Europe.

Langhans Gallery is attached to Camera Skoda, a four storey high camera shop. One unnamed member of staff just bagged an amazing bargain priced monorail camera…. Those Kroners are running out fast!
