Der Greif

Guest Room: Heather Canlas Rigg

Guest Room aims to spark collaboration. Heather Canlas Rigg, who is part of the curatorial collective ma ma and Artistic Director of the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival, has decided to collaborate with Capture Photography Festival's Executive Director Emmy Lee Wall. Together, they have developed the following framework for your submissions: "Photography and Drawing".

What happens when the mediums of photography and drawing collide? Editing software provides myriad ways to draw on, with, and through digital images, while photographic objects can be scratched, erased, written on, and more through physical mark making. How do these gestures change, inform, conceal, reveal, an image's message, an image's form?

Der Greif - Issue 16 by Shirin Neshat

We are excited to announce Shirin Neshat as the guest editor for Issue #16. Shirin Neshat invites you to submit work that responds to a line from the poem “Common Love” by Persian poet Ahmad Shamlou.

Shirin Neshat writes:

“I often use poetry as a starting point for inspiration and Ahmad Shamlou’s poem, "Common Love,” deeply resonates with me and speaks about our shared humanity.

We all grapple with grief and trauma, both on an individual and collective level, but with this common ground, we feel less alone. This is human nature: we see and feel that others experience similar struggles therefore we feel bonded and hopeful.

Der Greif - 15th Anniversary Open Call

We are thrilled to announce that Der Greif is celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2023. We invite you to submit work reflecting on the “Past & Present” of photography and to consider how image-making has evolved over the past 15 years.

As a way to commemorate what we have accomplished together with our community, images from this open call will be chosen and displayed alongside selected imagery from Der Greif’s extensive archive. Many photographers and visual artists featured in the organization’s past have gone on to successful careers. This open call places their accomplished work in conversation with emerging image makers of today.

Guest Room: Franziska Kunze

Guest Room aims to spark collaboration. Franziska Kunze, Chief Curator of Photography and Time-Based Media at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, has chosen to collaborate with Marta Binazzi, who is Photo Archivist at the Biblioteca Berenson, Villa I Tatti, the Centre for Italian Renaissance of the Harvard University.

Together, they have developed the following framework for your submissions: “An archive is an archive is an archive”.

With “An archive is an archive is an archive” – adopted from Gertrude Stein’s echoing and brilliant quote – Franziska Kunze and Marta Binazzi want to explore the possibilities of archival matters within photography. What do photographs do in archives? What do archives do with photographs? What do you do with both?
