D
ebuting in Padua is Photo Open Up, the new
International Photography Festival set to
occupy the most prestigious exhibition spaces
throughout the city from 21 September to 27 October. Over
five weeks, there shall be authors such the likes of Mario
Giacomelli, Nan Goldin, Helmut Newton, Man Ray, Sebastião
Salgado and Edward Weston, on display in the exhibition Io,
l’altro (e l’altrove).
There will also be the works of Gabriele Basilico, collected in
the series Milan – Factory Portraits, which dialogue with the
exceptional corpus of unpublished images from 1975 taken
by Paolo Mussat Sartor titled Industrial Sanctuaries.
What’s more, there shall be a broad selection of the
extraordinary photographic patrimony collected by the
Agenzia Grazia Neri, exhibited to the public for the first time
under the title Un paese di dialoghi e conflitti. The young
Italian artists who have abandoned traditional genres are
protagonists of the project Argo. But of course, the Festival
does not end there. Meetings, workshops, events… the entire
programme is available via photopenup.com.
