VOIES OFF

Posted on 2009-06-29

Since 1996, the Voies Off festival has been advocating for the role of photography in contemporary art and other various creative practices, providing them with an international stage during the Rencontres d’Arles. As an alternative to the program of the Rencontres, Voies Off invites a general audience to discover the photographic works by young authors. This year, the panel of jurors selected over 60 artists from all horizons among 950 candidates. They will compete for the 2009 Voies Off Prize. Their works will be shown during night projections every night under the starry sky of the courtyard of the Archbishop’s Palace. These night showings are in fact the heart of the Voies Off festival. Other events include daily portfolio reviews, professional “mornings,” and several thematic exhibitions.
