OUTSET / UNSEEN EXHIBITION FUND

This morning, the Outset | Unseen Exhibition Fund curatorial team
announced the selected photographer who has been granted a solo
exhibition at Foam 3h at the beginning of 2015. The recipient of the
fund this year is Regine Petersen (1976, Germany).
The Outset Netherlands | Unseen Exhibition Fund is a unique partnership between Unseen and Outset Netherlands,
providing a new institutional platform for emerging talent. Hours
before the VIP opening of Unseen Photo Fair, a curatorial committee
comprising of Ann-Christin Bertrand (Curator at C/O Berlin), Matthew
Leifheit (Photo Editor at VICE) and Shoair Mavlian (Assistant Curator at Tate Modern) selected Regine Petersen (b. 1976, Germany) as the recipient of the 2014 Outset | Unseen Exhibition Fund.
Regine Petersen’s long-term project Find A Fallen Star
fascinates with its strong narrative qualities, which create an
interplay between fiction and reality, playfully examining the overlap
of science and art. Just as meteorites could be considered time capsules,
each chapter (Stars Fell on Alabama, Fragments, and The Indian Iron)
encapsulates a specific place in a certain time, bridging the gap
between past and present in a way that utilizes the most intrinsic
qualities of photography as a medium.
The curatorial committee concluded, “Regine Petersen was chosen due to
her strong combination of concept, narrative and aesthetic. It is a well
developed project that has the opportunity to be presented in its
entirety for the first time.”
“We are very pleased with this year’s selected artist. Regine
Petersen’s project is an impressive example of contemporary storytelling
that reflects on the nature of photography and examines a layered and
complex history in a thorough and intelligent manner. It is a project
that very well engages with the space of Foam 3h, which also functions
as the museum’s photobook library,” said Marloes Krijnen, Director of
Foam.
Gwen Neumann, Director of Outset Netherlands, commented, “The selected
artist, Regine Petersen, reflects the character of the curatorial
committee; each of the curators has a story to tell, in a similar way
that Petersen does in her body of work, Find A Fallen Star.
Unseen has proven yet again to be an important place to launch and to
support the careers of young international curators as well as
photographers.”

NOMINATION
From the ten nominees selected by Simon Baker, artistic director for the 2014 edition, the Executive Committee of the Prix HSBC pour la Photographie, chaired by Stuart Gulliver, Chief Executive of HSBC Group, named two winners: Delphine Burtin and Akiko Takizawa.
The nominees 2014 are : Delphine Burtin, Marion Gambin, Weicheng Hua, Zhang Kechun, Emeric Lhuisset, Romain Mader, Pauline Miserez, Regine Petersen, Stéphanie Roland and Akiko Takizawa.
Each year, an artistic director, appointed to bring a new vision to the award, makes a preselection of a dozen candidates. He presents his choices to the Executive Committee, which selects the two winners. In 2014, 487 portfolios were submitted to the artistic director.
Simon Baker, artistic director and curator of photography and International art at the Tate Modern in London, had this to say about the 2014 edition of the prize:
"The work this year was excellent and came from extremely diverse experiences and practices. The ten final candidates reflected this plurality: we saw documentary projects covering both contemporary events (Syria) and past ones (falling meteorites in the 1950s), personal projects on the themes of friendship and family, reflections on the landscape and the environment (particularly in China), and more conceptual and formal works. The dominant trend was that of the “new documentary,” thematic photo essays addressing a particular subject, like retirement homes and matrimonial tourism, by relying on a variety of images, portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and photographs of events of activities. Beyond their determination to tell stories visually, the artists, especially the finalists, stood out for their excellent technique, demonstrating an incredible range of approaches and colors, in black-and-white, on digital and film. These ten finalists reflect a wide diversity in terms of background (Europe and Asia in particular) and gender (the majority were women, who were also very present overall). It goes without saying that the works of the finalists, and of all the artists who participated in the contest, included hundreds of wonderful photographs, offering proof of the power of contemporary photography".
