German Photography Symposium on the occasion of the exhibition German Photography. Power of a Medium 1870 - 1970 5 and 6 July 1997 On the occasion of the exhibition the Forum of the Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle will host an accompanying symposium in cooperation with the exhibition curators from 4 to 6 July 1997. The event will address the question of 'German photography' raised by the exhibition and will primarily analyze three aspects: First, individuals with great interest in photography will be invited to develop personal theories on German photography. Second, it will analyze the conditions under which photography can be considered 'German'. Theoretical expositions on, for instance, the future of photography as a medium and statements by collectors, curators or art dealers on their treatment of German photography will contribute to our understanding: How is German photography being collected, traded or presented today? Finally, contemporary German developments in photography since 1970 will be discussed. The assessment of recent trends will be complemented by a closing discussion between photographers from the Federal Republic of Germany, where they will be asked to clarify their definition of current photography and its chances for the 21st century.
