2nd International Photo Fair

Breda Photo Fair
2nd International Photo Fair

From the 23rd to 25th of September 2005 Breda Photo Fair will be presenting
an international company of photo gallery's, art photographs, publishers and
specialized antiquarian book dealers. Breda Photo Fair forms part of the
photo festival Breda Photo 2005.

A great number of cultural activities take place throughout the year under
the late gothic arches of "Onze Lieve Vrouwen" church - the most beautiful
building of Breda. Breda Photo Fair has chosen this magnificent location to
organize the 2nd International Photo Fair, an unique event in the Benelux
whereby quality and diversity are of the highest priority. The set-up of the
fair is professional and luxurious and is managed by the same organisation
as the antique fair "Antiqui Breda".

Ambitions
The ambitions are high. Breda Photo Fair will develop into an event that can
meets the same level as the photo fairs in London, Paris, Cologne and New
York.

Interest
The national and international interest in photography is growing. Museums
often buy photo collections, the number of private individuals that collect
art photos is rising and an increasing number of gallery's specialise in art
photography. Breda Photo Fair will therefore host a number national and
international galleries.

Since the development of photography as an art form many devoted publishers
and designers have published expensive and rare photo books. Breda Photo
Fair will host a selective group of publishers and dealers in rare book.

New talent
Besides national and international photo galleries, independent art
photographers are invited to present themselves to the public and the
professional photo galleries. Before the application to attend the fair is
approved the collection of the photographer is subject to inspection by an
independent vetting committee. An additional condition is that the
photographer is not represented by a national or international photo
gallery.

Breda Photo 2005
Breda Photo Fair forms part of the festival Breda Photo 2005. In 2003 the
festival received a lot of national and international publicity.

With the title 'Imaginary Beauty' Breda Photo 2005 starts on the 17th of
September and closes five weeks later on the 23rd of October. A series of
exhibitions in the "Beyerd", Breda's Museum and "Lokaal 01" will focus on
this theme. Besides that there are many smaller exhibitions spread over
several locations within the boundaries of the city.

The heart of the festival is the Photo Hall which offers an experimental
program: short exhibitions, lectures, workshops, performances, links with
other disciplines and meetings with photographers and photo collectors. As
in 2003 an "Amateur Weekend" and "Youth Project" will be held. A close
cooperation is established with the photo museum in Rotterdam and Antwerp.
