We cordially invite you to a debate workshop entitled Photographing Sculptures which will take place on Thursday, 3 September 2020 at 5 pm at the House of Photography of the Prague City Gallery. The workshop is part of the accompanying programme to the exhibition Lovelies from the Files. Sudek and Sculpture. The debate will feature photographers Hynek Alt, Vlado Bohdan, David Stecker, Jiří Thýn and Aleksandra Vajd and will be moderated by the exhibition's curators, Hana Buddeus and Katarína Mašterová. We look forward to seeing you!

Who were Josef Sudek's 'lovelies'? How and why did he photograph art objects? How did Sudek join forces with modern artists Filla, Tichý and Wichterlová? And just how to properly exhibit a photograph as an object? This GHMP podcast presents Pavel Klusák interviewing Hana Buddeus and Katarína Mašterová about the exhibition Lovelies from the Files. Sudek and Sculpture. Listen to it HERE (Czech only).

The new book entitled Sudek and Sculpture, edited by Hana Buddeus, is being launched as a dedicated catalogue to the exhibition Lovelies from the Files. Sudek and Sculpture. More than 600 pages and over 400 reproductions with texts by seven authors and attractive graphic design by Martin Groch and the Tim+Tim studio.

It is our greatest pleasure to invite you to the Lovelies from the Files. Sudek and Sculpture exhibition. It will be opened from June 23, 2020 in the House of Photography, Prague City Gallery. The exhibition is the final outcome of the Sudek Project and it is accompanied by an extensive, generously illustrated scholarly publication. There is much to look forward to, including a rich accompanying program and a podcast!

The SUDEK PROJECT wishes you all the best in 2020! This year will see the project enter its final phase. The current team will work together for the next twelve months, and the project will culminate in the final exhibition at the Prague City Gallery that will be accompanied by a publication. Also, we will make the rest of our archive accessible on this website throughout the year, so there is still much to look forward to!

We cordially invite you to the Galerie Pod radnicí in Ústí nad Orlicí, Czech Republic, where we present two of our exhibitions, Sudek: Paintings and Reflections and In the Studio. They are open to viewing from 7–13 November, 2019 at Sychrova 16, Ústí nad Orlicí. Martin Pavlis from the Sudek Project team organized these events in collaboration with the Galerie Pod radnicí and the PPF Art curator Lucie Mlynářová. 

On Tuesday, 22 October 2019, we are holding the third workshop organized under the auspices of the Sudek Project, this time under the guidance of conservator Kateřina Doležalová from the Institute of Art History of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The program will focus on the question of storing photographic negatives, also in institutions which might not possess adequate storing spaces. For more information, click HERE.

The photographs of art works by Josef Sudek were presented by Hana Buddeus in September 2019 as part of the second installment of the international workshop Confrontations / Sessions in East European Art History. The workshop was organized by Maja Fowkes and Reuben Fowkes from University College London and is made possible by the kind support of the Getty Foundation.

When Sudek was using the panoramic 10 × 30 cm format, he needed absolute darkness for inputting the film into the camera. He had a custom-made bag fashioned for just this purpose. As we know from the recollections of Jan Strimpl and Jaroslav Kysela, Sudek would sometimes look very funny doing this – he looked like a big cocoon, or like a bear who unintentionally scared passers-by from the bushes. We are very grateful to Jan Strimpl who procured one of these bags for the collection of the Institute of Art History of the Czech Academy of Sciences. Thank you! Photo © Adéla Kremplová, model: František Hlaváč.
