Background
Since 2005 the Photon Gallery organised an annual Photonic Moments festival, which was in 2006 already expanded with the Ljubljana Month of Photography autumn events, through which the Photon Gallery started to contribute to the international platform dedicated to photography under the name European Month of Photography (Berlin, Paris, Vienna, Bratislava, Luxembourg, Moscow and Rome). Since 2008 the programme by Photon, featuring contemporary trends in photography from the Central and South East Europe in broader international context, takes place biennially under the name Photonic Moments – Month of Photography.
The festival's programme committee has involved several figures of Slovenian contemporary art and photography, e.g. Dejan Sluga, Miha Colner, Antonio Živkovič, Rajko Bizjak, Jan Babnik, Vasja Nagy and Peter Koštrun. Each edition of the festival hosts several international curators.
Programme and venues
The 5th edition of the Photonic Moments – Month of Photography in 2010 presented a number of group exhibitions as well as solo shows. The main venue Cankarjev dom hosted the central group exhibition Tension Field exploring different tendencies in the development of art photography in the region since 1980, which was accompanied by a two-day forum Talks on Contemporary Photography. The Museum and Galleries of Ljubljana hosted and co-organized three exhibitions at their venues: Lee Miller's photography at the Jakopič Gallery, Trine Sondergaard & Gina Zaccharias at the City Art Gallery Ljubljana and Marko Jamnik at the Vžigalica Gallery. In the framework of the festival several exhibitions were presented also in Maribor, Celje, Novo mesto, Škofja Loka, Trbovlje and Ptuj.
Photon Gallery collaborates with a dispersed network of partner organizations, in 2010 with the Cultural City Network Graz, Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Rijeka, Museum of Contemporary Art Skopje, Museum of Contemporary Art Vojvodina, Novi Sad and House of Photography from Bratislava.
