For the fourth edition of the Artist Meets Archive program, the Internationale Photoszene Köln and the institutions involved in the project are inviting a total of five artists from Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Poland and Spain to Cologne: Marta Bogdanska, Elena Efeoglou, Andrés Galeano, Pauline Hafsia M'barek and Wing Ka Ho Jimmi will be in Cologne for several weeks in the summer for their research residencies. During this time, they will immerse themselves in the archives and collections of the Dombauarchiv, the Kölnisches Stadtmuseum, the Museum Ludwig, the Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur and the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum and thus in the diverse (photographic) history of the city of Cologne in order to develop new artistic positions. They will then present the results as usual during the Photoszene Festival, which will next take place in May 2025.
