Andrea Freiberg: jamais-vu & photographers:network selection 2008
photographers:network selection 2008
At the end of 2007, around a hundred of my colleagues and friends from all over the world who I have met over the last two years were invited to take part in this project. They are all mostly young female photographers whom I have met at festivals, art fairs and in my galleries. I have been friends with some of them for years. Forty-eight female photographers with more than two hundred works applied to take part. The aim of the project is to build a network among colleagues and to promote each other. An expert jury consisting of a journalist (Thomas Gerwers, PROFIFOTO), a gallery owner (Michael Mazzeo, peer Gallery New York) and an art historian (Irina Tchmyreva, Moscow Museum of Modern Art) selected the works to be exhibited in collaboration with me.
Once again, photographers are traveling to the event from as far away as Athens, Brasilia and Sao Paulo!

Andrea Freiberg: jamais-vu
As in 2005, an ASK artist will once again exhibit in the hall of the Friedrichstrasse studios this year.
Under the exhibition title jamais-vu, Andrea Freiberg displays sculptures, drawings and paintings that she has produced in Siegen, Berlin, Weimar, Szczecin, Gda?sk and in her garden in Thuringia over the past five years. She has either lived in these places, visited them or was passing through. She became aware of some situations along the way and captured them photographically, while others she generated herself. Her exhibition jamais-vu features replicas of real rooms and houses, as well as photographs of interventions and observations of everyday situations. She also shows drawn, folded and painted images that deal with spatial structures.
