Photo Espana 08
05 Jun 2008
Apart from the Eugene Smith show, we managed to make it to one other yesterday. Turns out that a lot of the shows have not even opened yet and we were turned away from a few gallery doors. De Viaje was the one that we managed to make the opening of… a collection of five photographers’ work, one of which, Pablo Lopez, included some quite stunning large format cityscapes of Mexico City and people in its parks.  The Motorcycle Diary by Mateo Lopez was intriguingly displayed, while  the travel images in the central gallery space were  little more than your average holiday snaps.

The theme of the festival, by the way, is PLACE. We will try and see how that works out as we visit the different shows. More soon …
 
Eugene Smith's Spanish Village
Photo Espana 08
05 Jun 2008
Eugene Smith Eugene Smith’s seminal photo essay Spanish Village was the setting for our first Photo Espana experience. One of six expertly curated Smith exhibitions in the cool Teatro Fernan Gomez Centro de Arte, the emotional tenor of Spanish Village virtually vibrates against the thick walls. Smith’s wish to seek out an archetypal village, which would best show the conditions of ordinary people’s lives, was fulfilled by Deleitosa, Extremadura and its inhabitants. His more specific intention – to block the American alliance with Franco – did not succeed and this perceived failure was many of the many frustrations that would haunt Smith throughout his restless life.
