We have done our best to stick to your particular requests and to take into account your possible affinities with your neighbors etc. If your stall does not suit you we apologize for it. You can clarify things next year.

For this year we can not make any changes except at the last minute in case of difficulties presented by the new place or following an error on our part.

to those in room 2:  do not worry, we have taken all possible measures for the public to visit you (display, signage, activities etc).

 

Reminder: Access times are in the terms and conditions that you received with your badge. We will be strict about them.

 

Thank you for your understanding and have a good fair.

2 days

Dear friends,

  • You now have 2 days left to reserve your stall.
    • For members: the reservation of your stand is not included automatically in your membership. You must order it separately. The exhibitor badge is replaced by your membership badge. You only need an assistant badge for, well, your assistants.

 

  • Your envelope with your badges will give you opening hours of the venue and parking. We will be uncompromising on these schedules. Arriving too soon will only clog up traffic.
    • All the badges for complete and paid for reservations are in the post.

 

  • Stalls that are not paid for must be as quickly as possible otherwise the badges will not reach you in time. This will make things less comfortable for you on Sunday morning.
    Next year we will be strict on this, the terms and conditions will be applied to the letter after these 3 years of transition.

 

  • We received an extra prize to put in the raffle. This wooden pinhole camera is gifted to us by Lerouge.
    If you would like a ticket, these are available on the site.

 

 

 

  • For those who are worried about the change of address and the consequences of this you can visit the following page:  https://photographia-asbl.com/?p=3050
    It contains the numbers that will allow you to judge our communication efforts. We apologize for not providing you with a translation.

 

  • If you have any worries or problems please feel free to contact us. There is always an explanation / solution.

Hello,

Their website can be seen here.

For those of you coming alone we can help you. Take you order and bring it to you on your stall. Just let us know that we need to come and see you about that.

exhibition: the body otherwise

The participants for the exhibition at this year’s Occaphot‘ are:

Arsiloe – orotone – wax figure

Caroline Chik we’ll be showing her orotones. In case you don’t know what that is, come and find out by looking at her work and reading about the process.

 

 

 

Besides her work you will discover:

(no translation available, sorry.)

 

 Yousra Daly:
“j’aimerai vous présenter le thème “Autoportrait”, réalisé pour mon jury de fin d’année. Pour ce thème, j’ai réalisé un sténopé rond pouvant accueillir une feuille A4. Cette forme cyclique apporte une déformation du corps, et génère ainsi un autre corps que celui qui se représente à moi face à un miroir. 
De plus, ce thème se présentait à moi comme une recherche de mon être à travers le médium photographique. Par la suite, il me fallut le besoin d’aller plus loin dans ma recherche et de continuer le travail après le développement de ma photographie en négatif, j’ai donc commencé à dégrader; peindre, à l’aide de produits chimiques mes autoportraits.”
 

“La série « kintsugi » fait référence à l’art de la porcelaine au Japon quand, brisée, elle est réparée par un joint à l’or fin qui, au lieu de dissimuler l’accident, l’amplifie et le glorifie. Les modèles blessés, amputés, deviennent ainsi de précieuses porcelaines.Photographie argentique, tirage jet d’encre, ajouts de feuille d’or.”

Occaphot: 6 weeks left + lady looking for buyer cinema/photo gear

 

Hello,

First of all we have 3 bits of information for you today.

The second part of this newsletter is that we were contacted by a lady whose husband passed away, she is looking to sell his photo and cinema gear.

1) Occaphot is now 7 weeks away. The deadline for registering as a seller is 26th November 2017. To rent a stall click here: https://photographia-asbl.com/?product_cat=occaphot&lang=en

  • Order your half tables.
  • Order your sellers badge AND the badges for your assistants. (if you are a member your members badge is enough, you don’t need to order another for yourself. You do need to order them for your assistants.)
  • Order your parking card.
  • Fill in this form with your ID information and number plates: https://photographia-asbl.com/?page_id=1843&lang=en
  • Pay for your reservation within 7 days as is stated in the terms and conditions otherwise your stall can be cancelled.

2) We are pleased to announce a new event in our calendar: CaroloPhoto.

It will be an outdoor fair like Occaphot’ in the gardens of the museum of photography in Charleroi. It will be held on the 6th May 2018. Registration isn’t open yet but we’ll let you know when it is.

 

3) And a 3rd event of a different kind. We’ve talked about it but it’s a done deal now. A Collodion Festival (for wet and dry plate). We’ll be at the crystal museum of the Val St Lambert in Liège. We’ll have some seller stalls but only of gear that can be used or is related to collodion or very old processes.

 

 

 

Part 2.

A lady living in Virginal (Brabant Wallon) who’s husband passed away is looking to sell her husbands collection. He was passionate about cinema mainly and includes a large cinema projector. Everything lives in her cellar Since he no longer spends his days down there the heating is turned off and she has turned off the dehumidifier to save energy. The dampness is returning and is starting to show some signs of affecting all of this stuff. I have advised she turn it back on to avoid damaging anything but she may choose not to do this so if you have any interest in any of the stuff in the pictures please be quick about it.

She is not wealthy, is losing her sight and an honest price is requested please.

If you see anything that appeals to you please contact me by email only. Not by phone. I am overworked and this close to Occaphot’ I fear my memory will fail me too much to deal with phone requests.

I prefer to sell the lot, there’s no way I can handle selling individual items at this point.

Thank you kindly.
