| The Meeting Place is an exciting forum for meeting with and reviewing the work of photo-based artists. While the artist might consider it solely as an opportunity to promote his or her own work, the arts professional – curators, gallerists, and publishers alike- is offered that same, unique occasion, one in which he/she has a chance to view photographic work from around the world. |

In 2008, we began to document artists’ successes and promote them on FotoFest’s website. These pages are dedicated to sharing artists’ success stories from the Meeting Place. This year we have expanded the Successes of the Meeting Place to include news from Meeting Place Reviewers who have found work to exhibit, publish, collect or use in new projects.
We are glad to announce also that, ten Meeting Place artists whose works were picked by reviewers in 2008 to be part of the 2010 Discoveries of the Meeting Place will be shown in Mexico City at Mexico’s primary center for photography, the Centro de la Imagen in Mexico City, The Discoveries exhibitions, started in 1996, have traveled to Russia, Brazil and Mexico.
The reviewers who have sent their success stories to us are listed below alphabetically.
To see a list of the Artists’ Successes from the Meeting Place, please click here.
We are waiting for more of your stories! If you were able to arrange an exhibition, publication, or purchase of your work, please send your success stories to Sarah Craig, Meeting Place Assistant, meeting@fotofest.org and we will celebrate your successes here. We continually update these pages. If you have exhibitions, publications, or sales still pending, please send us an email, with images, once your projects are finalized.

2010 Meeting Place Reviewer
I was able to establish a new series at Kehrer, which features mainly handmade photo books: small editions that are beautiful, but too expensive for a regular book seller and not valuable enough for a gallery to deal with them. I felt this was a silly state to be in and these objects truly deserve our attention. So Klaus Kehrer was so kind to allow me to start the Trouvés series - French for "found" (objects), because that's how they crossed my path: through photography festivals like FotoFest, Rhubarb, and the Rencontres d’Arles.
Two of the featured artists I met in Houston are Oyvind Hjelmen and Phil Underdown and I hope there are more to come.
I also hope more people will come to recognize the uniqueness of these objects and what a great opportunity they are for the photographers himself to see their work from a different angle.
At the Fotobuchtage in Hamburg this June I was invited to give a presentation about the Trouvés.
