We have prepared for you a workshop as part of the accompanying program for the exhibition Josef Sudek: The Topography of Ruins. The event will take place in the dark room where photographer Vlado Bohdan will demonstrate the production of new blowups from Sudek’s original negatives. In the evening, there will be a discussion in the House of Photography on the topic of the new prints – participants will include photographers Vlado Bohdan, Jaroslav Beneš and Jan Douša, all of whom regularly practice the art of the blowup on their own (and others’) negatives. Curator Jiří Pátek from the Moravian Gallery in Brno will also be in attendance. The discussion will be led by art historians Hana Buddeus and Katarína Mašterová, and will feature a demonstration of various new print materials from Sudek’s original negatives: silver bromide photographs (both manual and digital) or ink printing, and it will be possible to compare them with Sudek’s originals.
