STATEMENT

In his juror’s statement for the upcoming Home exhibition, Krzysztof Candrowicz writes, “No matter what is happening, home is always your starting point… your foundation… and your shelter. Before the final selection for the exhibition I asked myself what home means to me. Is it my flat, my surroundings, my hometown, my country, my family and my friends? That is a very conventional definition but nowadays home has a wider meaning…” His case is evident in the fifty pieces he chose for the show. Featuring work from Laura Stevens (Juror’s Selection), Klaus+Knoll (Juror’s Honorable Mention), and Skott Chandler (Juror’s Honorable Mention), Home explores the many different ways the modern man seeks shelter from the world.

Krzysztof Candrowicz is a founder and the director of Lodz Art Center and Foundation of Visual Education in the city of Lodz, Poland. The foundation started the International Festival of Photography in 2001 and is now preparing the eleventh annual celebration for 2012.
