The biannual international photographic art fair Foto Tallinn celebrates its 11th edition at Kai Art Center in Tallinn from September 6th to 8th. Introducing the latest contemporary photography, the diverse fair welcomes art and photography enthusiasts and collectors, and features the latest works by 35 artists.
“Foto Tallinn 2024 is delighted to include participants from so many countries across the world, presenting artists, collectives and galleries based in Austria, Belgium, Estonia, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, India, Hungary, Luxembourg, Latvia, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, Tunisia, Ukraine, the US, and the United Kingdom,” summarises Kadi-Ell Tähiste, one of the fair’s main organisers.
The participants were selected by a jury of international photography professionals, including Senior Editor of the US-based photography platform Aperture, Brendan Embser, the Founder and Artistic Director of Bologna-based PhMuseum and PhMuseum Days International Photography Festival Giuseppe Oliviero, and the Executive Director and board member of the Estonian Contemporary Art Development Center (ECADC) and Artistic Director of Kai Art Center Karin Laansoo. The jury highlighted the tight competition and the high quality of the final selection.
“The artists selected for this year’s edition show an inspiring range of themes, formal ingenuity, and new directions for the medium,” commented Brendan Embser. Karin Laansoo added: “Compared to previous editions, we can see a stronger focus on documentary photography, which is also understandable considering the current global events.”
The fair is curated by the Amsterdam-based creative consultant and curator Isabella van Marle, and it introduces presentations by 18 artist and artist collectives and seven galleries. In addition, Foto Tallinn is proud to feature a special presentation of contemporary Ukrainian photography.
