Upcoming Book Signings with Alejandro Cartagena 

April 7, 2012

Alejandro Cartagena photographs the suburbs of Monterrey, Mexico, which are relatively new and often hastily built with a disregard for planning. Over the years, various governmental policies resulted in new, decentralized cities with limited infrastructures where the pursuit of immediate financial gain trumped any interest in sustainability. Cartagena captures both the destruction that rapid urbanization has imposed on the landscape and the phenomenon of densely packed housing.

The First book signing will be on April 11, at the Gimnasio de Arte in Alvaro Obregon, Mexico City.

The Second book signing will be on April 19, at the La Fototeca in Guatemala City, Guatamala.

HELSINKI PHOTOGRAPHY BIENNIAL, March 2-April 20 

February 9, 2012

Helsinki Photography BIennial is organized biannually in the spring. For the month of April, the biennial is a month of photography in the Helsinki metropolitan region. Biennial artworks and events will be seen not only in museums and galleries, but also in the public space, spreading east, west as well as north from the city centre. 

HPB12 will feature photographic art from Finland as well as abroad. The theme of HPB12 will be urbanity and the city. Through these concepts, the biennial will explore how art meets the city, how the city receives art, and how urbanity is addressed in art. Through photography and moving image works, the festival will examine the core and the boundaries of the city, its points of conflict and places of calm. 

In 2012 the biennial is organized in co-operation with Helsinki City Museum and the City of Helsinki Cultural Office.
