Mednarodna bienalna fotografska razstava »Miniature« pod pokroviteljstvom Fotografske zveze Slovenije in mednarodne fotografske zveze FIAP je postala tradicionalna razstava papirne fotografije, nepogrešljiva in kot taka ugledna v fotografskem svetu. Fotografinje in fotografi ste poslali skoraj 1000 svojih del. Svoja občutja ste prikazali v prosti temi in izzivu, ki ga ima kamen za fotografski objektiv.

The International Photographic Image Biennial Exhibition ‘’Miniature’’ under the patronage of the Photographic Association of Slovenia and the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP) has become a traditional exhibition of paper photography, indispensable and as such respected in the world of photography. We have received almost 1000 works from you, photographers, showing us your feelings in a free theme selection and the challenge of capturing a stone on camera.

V uvodniku kataloga bienalne razstave Miniature izpred dveh let sem z zanosom zapisal, »Vidimo se na jubilejni 10. razstavi Miniature 2020«. Čeprav beseda miniatura v Slovarju slovenskega knjižnega jezika pomeni podrobno izdelana umetniška slika majhnega formata, se je žal v naše družabno okolje pretihotapila še ena miniatura v obliki korona virusa.

Although the meaning of the word ‘’miniatura’’, as stated in the Dictionary of the Standard Slovene Language, is a detailed small-format artistic painting, unfortunately another miniature in the form of the coronavirus has slunk into our social environment.

In kot je imel 19. aprila 1842, torej pred 178 leti, pogum in zanos Janez Puhar s svetovnim izumom fotografije na stekleni plošči, tako so prizadevni člani Fotografskega društva Janez Puhar iz Kranja, navkljub vsem omejitvam, ob upoštevanju vseh dodatnih zdravstvenih varnostnih ukrepov, pogumno in z zanosom uspešno izpeljali organizacijo mednarodne razstave Miniature 2020. Žiriranje fotografskih del ni bilo preprosto, saj ste avtorice in avtorji na tako majhnem formatu združili svoja umetniška hotenja z ustrezno vsebino fotografije. S svojo kreativnostjo ste prispevali pomemben delež k visoki kvaliteti razstavljenih del. Male fotografije so postala velika fotografska dela in navdih za vse, ki jim fotografska umetnost v teh časih pomeni žarek upanja za svetlejšo prihodnost. Letos žal ni slavnostne otvoritve v čudovitem ambientu Prešernovega gledališča. Kljub temu bodo male miniature v vsej svoji veličini predstavljene v razstavnih prostorih Mestne galerije v Kranju. V imenu Fotografske zveze Slovenije čestitam vsem avtoricam in avtorjem za njihova dela. Prizadevnim članicam in članom organizacijskega odbora Fotografskega društva Janez Puhar pa iskrena zahvala za odlično organizacijo in poklon ob vaši 110 - letnici društva. Korona in Covid 19 bosta z razvojem zdravil izginila na smetišče zgodovine, mednarodna fotografska razstava Miniature pa bo še dolgo med nami, zato vas že sedaj vabim na 11. Mednarodno razstavo »Miniature 2022«.

In the introduction to the catalogue of the biennial exhibition ‘’Miniature’’ two years ago, I wrote with gusto: ‘’See you in the 10th jubilee exhibition of Miniature 2020!’’

With the courage and zeal of Janez Puhar, who invented photography on glass 178 years ago, i.e. on 19th April 1842, the hard-working members of the Janez Puhar Photo Society Kranj have successfully organized the international exhibition of ‘’Miniature 2020’’ in spite of all the restrictions, complying with all the additional public health measures. Jurying photographic works was not easy, since you, the authors had combined your artistic volition with adequate photography contents on such a small format. Using your creativity, you have contributed a significant share to the high quality of the exhibited works. Small photographs have become great photographic works and inspiration for all who perceive photographic art in these times as a ray of hope for brighter future. Unfortunately, the ceremonial opening in the wonderful ambient of the Prešeren Theatre won’t be held this year. In spite of that, the small miniatures will be presented in all their glory in the exhibition area of the Town Hall of Kranj. On behalf of the Photographic Association of Slovenia, I congratulate all the authors on their works. I sincerely thank the hard-working members of the organizing committee of the Janez Puhar Photo Society for the excellent organization and I congratulate you on your society’s 110th anniversary. After the coronavirus and COVID-19 antiviral drug discovery, these viruses will become history, while the international photographic image exhibition ‘’Miniature’’ will stay here with us for a long time. Therefore I would like to invite you to the 11th international exhibition of ‘’Miniature 2022’’.

Želimo Vam veliko odličnih posnetkov, dobro luč in ostanite zdravi!

Wishing you many excellent shots and good light. Stay safe!

Deseta bienalna razstava Miniature 2020

The 10th Biennial Exhibition ‘’Miniature 2020’’

Odkar smo leta 2001 v Fotografskem društvu Janez Puhar v Kranju začeli razmišljati o razstavah fotografij malega formata, smo priredili že deset mednarodnih razstav. Pobudo o razstavah fotografij malih formatov, sta prinesla v naše okolje Marko Aljančič in Janez Korošin. Od ideje, do dejanske realizacije je bilo potrebno premagati mnogo izzivov. Danes sta standardna formata fotografij 7x10 cm in 10x10 cm, s paspartujem 20x20 cm. Spomladi leta 2001 smo imeli prvo društveno razstavo malih slik - v pravih okvirjih. Selektor razstave je bil eden izmed idejnih vodij današnjih “Miniatur” - Janez Korošin. Leta 2002 smo se odločili, da izvedemo razstavo na mednarodnem nivoju, ter zaprosili za pokroviteljstvo pri Mednarodni zvezi za fotografsko umetnost (FIAP). Z razstavami “Miniatur” smo med fotografi po celem svetu pridobili ugled, s tem pa tudi Puharjevemu mestu Kranju in državi Sloveniji. Ob razstavi vedno natisnemo katalog, saj kljub digitalnemu času, v katerem živimo, menimo, da je natisnjen katalog dokument trajne vrednosti. Vztrajamo, da je vsak avtor, ki se je uspešno prebil skozi žirantsko sito, v katalogu predstavljen s svojo fotografijo. Letošnja razstava je bila kljub že spoštljivi tradiciji nekaj izjemnega. Pripravo pogojev sodelovanja in pridobitev pokroviteljstva FZS in FIAP smo uredili še pred izbruhom pandemije Covid-19. Soočiti smo se morali z dejstvom, da so mednarodne poštne pošiljke zamujale. Ne glede na to smo vsem avtorjem zagotovili, da so bila njihova dela žirirana. Zahvala gre predvsem organizacijskemu odboru, ki je uspešno usklajeval in reševal vse izzive, ki so se pri tem pojavili. Vsako leto poleg splošne teme razpišemo tudi nosilno temo razstave. Letos smo se odločili, da je to “Kamen”. Tema je bila izredno dobro sprejeta, saj je bil odziv odličen. Sodelovalo je 131 avtorjev iz 32 držav. Poslali so 490 fotografij na temo “Kamen” in 505 fotografij na “Splošno” temo. Žirijo običajno sestavljajo ugledni domači in tuji fotografi. Letos smo naredili “Covid-19” izjemo in k žiriranju povabili samo slovenske fotografe. Žirija je izbrala 101 delo na temo “Kamen” in 110 del na “Splošno” temo. Te številke pomenijo, da je letošnja udeležba precej višja od predhodne in to kljub svetovni zdravstveni krizi. Iz navedenega lahko sklepamo, da kultura v srcih ljudi še vedno živi, morda v teh težkih razmerah še bolj izrazito. To potrjujejo tudi nekateri avtorji, ki so sodelovali že na sedmih “Miniaturah”: Giuseppe Tomelleri (Italija), Leonid Goldin (Izrael), Luis Alberto Franke (Argentina), Milan Marković (Srbija) in slovenski avtorji: Anuška Vončina, Boris Godnič, Damir Gizdavčić, Dunja Wedam, Jakob Gnilšak, Janez Kramar, Lado Kraljič, Mojca Kraljič, Sandi Novak in Vasja Doberlet. Nagrajene in sprejete fotografije bodo razstavljene v Galeriji Mestne hiše, najuglednejšem razstavišču v Kranju. K izvedbi razstave so pripomogli: Fotografska zveza Slovenije (FZS), Mednarodna zveza za fotografsko umetnost (FIAP), Mestna občina Kranj in Gorenjski muzej Kranj, za kar smo jim iskreno hvaležni. Zahvaljujemo se tudi Prešernovemu gledališču Kranj in Glasbeni šoli Kranj za pripravljenost k sodelovanju, čeprav letos zaradi pandemije Covida-19 svečanega odprtja razstave ne bomo mogli izpeljati.

Since we came up with the idea of organizing small-format photograph exhibitions in 2001 as members of Janez Puhar Photo Society Kranj, we have held ten international exhibitions. The initiative to organize small-format photograph exhibitions has been taken into our environment by Marko Aljančič and Janez Korošin. From the idea to the actual realization, we had to overcome many challenges. Today the standard photograph formats are 7x10 cm and 10x10 cm, and 20x20 cm including passe-partout. In the spring of 2001, we held the society’s first small photograph exhibition, using real frames. The exhibition selector was one of the masterminds of today’s ‘’Miniature’’ Janez Korošin. In 2002 we decided to hold the exhibition at the international level and applied for patronage of the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP). Holding ‘’Miniature’’ exhibitions, we have gained reputation among photographers worldwide, thus putting Mr. Puhar’s town Kranj and the state of Slovenia on the map. Holding an exhibition, we always have a catalogue printed, as in notwithstanding of our living in the digital times, we consider the printed version as a document of long-lasting value. We like the idea of including a photo of each author who has successfully passed the jury’s selection. In spite of the honourable tradition, this year’s exhibition was exceptional. We accomplished the preparation of participation conditions and gaining the patronage of the Photographic Association of Slovenia and the International Federation of Photographic Art before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. We had to face delays on international shipments, but in spite of that, we enabled works of all authors to be juried. Our special thanks go to the organizing committee which was successfully coordinating and solving all the challenges that it came across to. Each year, besides the General’ theme of the exhibition, there is also a selected one. This year it is ‘’A Stone’’. The theme was accepted extremely well, since the response was excellent. 131 participants from 32 countries sent us 490 photographs on the theme of ‘’A Stone’’ and 505 photographs on the theme “B General”. The jury usually consists of respected domestic and foreign photographers, but this year we made a ‘’COVID-19’’ exception and invited only Slovenian photographers. The jury chose 101 works on the theme of ‘’A Stone’’ and 110 works on the the ‘’General’’ theme. These numbers signify that in spite of the global health crisis, this year’s participation was much higher than the previous one. One can conclude that culture is still very much alive in people’s hearts, maybe even more in these difficult circumstances. This is proved by the fact that some authors have participated in as many as seven ‘’Miniature’’ so far: Giuseppe Tomelleri (Italy), Leonid Goldin (Israel), Luis Alberto Franke (Argentina), Milan Marković (Serbia) and the Slovenian authors Anuška Vončina, Boris Godnič, Damir Gizdavčić, Dunja Wedam, Jakob Gnilšak, Janez Kramar, Lado Kraljič, Mojca Kraljič, Sandi Novak and Vasja Doberlet. Awarded and accepted photographs will be exhibited in the Town Hall’s Gallery, the most prestigious exhibition hall in Kranj. The exhibition was actualised through the efforts of: the Photographic Association of Slovenia, the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP), the City Municipality of Kranj and the Gorenjska Museum which have our deepest gratitude. We would also like to thank the Prešeren Theatre Kranj and the Kranj Music School for their willingness to cooperate, although the ceremonial opening of the exhibition won’t be able to be held this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
