The activities of ROSPHOTO, the State Russian Centre of Photography founded in 2002 by Ministry for culture of the Russian Federation, embrace exhibitions, scientific research and educational programs. The Centre exhibits works of well known national and international masters of photography, as well as young talented artists working in the genres of contemporary art closely connected with photography: video-art, photographic installations, animation, experimental cinema. With approximately fifty exhibitions a year, many of the Centre's projects are developed in cooperation with reputable international organizations. Most important projects in ROSPHOTO are the ones that unite exhibition with research. Such projects make progress not only in expositional work but also in scientific research. Moreover, they often result in publications that regard photography from the angle of history and art history. Among most important examples of such exhibitions are "Views of Crimea" by Vassily Sokornov, an outstanding landscape photographer, and "French Photography from the Archive of the Institute of Material Culture at the Russian Academy of Sciences". The exhibition halls in Bolshaya Morskaya street in St.-Petersburg are not the only place where ROSPHOTO holds its exhibitions. The centre is constantly expanding the geography of its projects and improving connections with many regional museums in Russia, from Nizhny Novgorod to Irkutsk. Constantly expanding its collection (by now approx. ten thousand items), ROSPHOTO is currently developing a program entitled "Russian Museum of Photography" and an online resource "Russia's Photographic Heritage". Both these great endeavors require research work in the sphere of preservation and processing of digital electronic images, cataloging, conservation and restoration of photography. Centre has been developing restoration, conservation and preservation methods and technologies that would allow effective solutions in taking care of any private collection or museum archive of photographs and negatives. The laboratory of scientific restoration at ROSPHOTO conducts works on restoration and conservation of photography and provides training for young specialists. |
