Why submit to »Guest Room«?

»Guest Room« is a free opportunity to show your work to curators and gallerists. Your work will be seen and possibly published as part of the online-exhibition at the Der Greif website, a highly-frequented international source of photographic art.

About Der Greif: Guest Room

DER GREIF is an award-winning organization for contemporary photography. It is print-publication, online-publication, curatorial team and joint project all at once.

The website is exhibition-, communication-, and information-platform for participants and anyone interested in contemporary photography. Participating artists are presented in special Artist Features where they are given the opportunity to blog. In »Guest Room«, outstanding personalities in the field of international photography curate and select their favorite submissions online.

»Guest Room« has been conceived in January 2015 in order to expand and explore the possibilities of thoughtfully combining single photographic images and presenting them online. Each Guest Room-selection is published in real-time. Around 30 images per Guest are shown – single images or image-combinations.

Over the years DER GREIF has developed a very distinctive handling when working with photography-submissions from artists from all over the world. »Guest Room« questions this approach and the role the artistic directors of Der Greif play in it by integrating curators and gallerists in the field of international photography.
