L'Espace Photographique Contretype, an arts centre for contemporary photography in Brussels, exhibits and promotes creative photography of all "genres", without exception. (explore the Web Site). Open to a plurality of approaches and innovative forms, Contretype pays particular attention to the quality of the artistic proposals, their sense and the sensibility they convey.
Serving both as a launching pad for emerging artists and a laboratory for new projects by established artists, Contretype examines proposals from artists and exhibition curators until May of each year.
The portfolios are submitted to a Programming Committee composed of artists, representatives of the specialised press and cultural institutions, critics and the members of the Contretype Management Board.
Practical information
Your proposal should include:
- Visual documentation consisting of between 10 and a maximum of 20 prints (digital or laser quality prints), which should be clearly identified (title, size and date).
Photos submitted on CD-ROMs, DVDs or sent by e-mail or fax will not be accepted. Please do not send originals as portfolios are not returned to the sender.
- A clear note on your artistic process (max. one A4 page).
- A description of the proposed project (max, one A4 page).
- A curriculum vitae including your name, address, phone number, e-mail address and web site, where applicable.
