Carolyn Drake

Knit Club

DiscourseTalk & Discussion

In the photo book quartet for the "Photoszene United 2021" festival, we invited two special guests: Cologne-based photography expert Simone Klein and Berlin-based publisher and photo bookseller Thomas Gust. Together we will talk about the new book "Knit Club" by the American Magnum photographer Carolyn Drake. It was created through her collaboration with an enigmatic group of women who call themselves the "Knit Club" and who are a mixture of a gang, a mystery cult and a group of friends bound together by secrets.

Fotobuch-Quartett

Based on the "Literary Quartet", Damian Zimmermann and Nadine Preiß (both Photoszene), Markus Schaden and Frederic Lezmi (The PhotoBookMuseum), Wolfgang Zurborn (Lichtblick School), Oliver Rausch and Frank Dürrach (both Fotoakademie-Koeln) as well as a changing guest discuss four photo books live and in front of an audience, sometimes lovingly and benevolently, sometimes meanly and maliciously, their heads hot. The events will be recorded by FotoTV and then put online. The Photobook Quartet is a format of the Internationale Photoszene Köln. The first event took place within the framework of the Photoscene Festival 2014 at the Museum of Applied Arts Cologne (MAKK), followed by the Photobook Quartet+ as a guest in the art spaces of the Michael Horbach Foundation, the Forum for Photography, the Zephyr in Mannheim and during the Cologne Art Book Fair 2015. Guests of previous editions were Renate Gruber, Claudia Dichter, Alexa Becker, Katja Stuke, Thekla Ehling, Erik Kessels, Bettina Flitner, Dr. Anja Schürmann, David Klammer, Simone Klein, and Thomas Gust.
