Every month - for as long as it takes - everyone reading this could agree to champion Ukrainian Creatives.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the many within the visual arts sector across Europe have developed insightful exhibitions or featured work in support of the Ukrainian people. The rush to 'do something' came from both outrage and empathy. It reflected the zeitgeist. Recently, the press has been talking about 'War Fatigue' in the west, calling it Putin's most effective weapon.
Now, more than ever, we need to show solidarity.
Open Eye Gallery is thankful to everyone behind Ukrainian Photographies for developing the ideal route by which we can counter fatigue by doing what we can do best - championing Ukrainian creatives.

Since its foundation in 1981, FOTOHOF in Salzburg has been an important center with widespread activities. A group of photographers and enthusiasts gathered and worked together to create a space for presenting and discussing art photography; this ambitious concept succeded by founding an “association to support author photographers” (Verein zur Förderung der Autorenfotografie) and because the first Gallery space was in a courtyard, the more descriptive name FOTO-HOF was created; since then, for 26 years, this “collective” structure has been the same and Fotohof has been working in the field of national and international art photography.

TF, 2 letters that signify at the same time Type Foundry and Typographie Française (French Typography). 205TF is a type foundry that brings together the work of independent typeface designers, some of them well known, others closer to the beginning of their career, all highly talented. Each of them developing characters where a certain French spirit can be felt. 205TF is a foundry on a human scale, and beyond the distribution of their work, it supports typeface designers by making their creations available to a wider audience, allowing for greater recognition of their work. 205TF makes a choice of quality: a small number of creators, a precise selection of characters. The number is of little importance, the quality however is essential.
