PLAT(T)FORM 08 Emerging artists and photographers present their portfolios Plat(t)form 08, held during the last weekend of January 2008, is the second curated international portfolio viewing featuring young emerging European photographers. As in the previous year, we have invited 42 photographers to present their work for two hours to the public and a selected team of experts. The 42 participants have been chosen from among some 100 nominated photographers. At each viewing, there will be 6 photographers showing their work simultaneously. Plat(t)form 08 is aimed at professionals such as curators, gallery owners, publishers, editors and photographers. At the same time, the event offers interested visitors an opportunity of discovering the work of young photographers and artists, and of meeting them in person.
