PQ 2011
The Prague Quadrennial 2011
Photography by Edwin Lockwood edwin@lockwood-lights.com
This year I did not document the country exhibits the way I normally do. Instead I tried to take interesting images I visualized, but I did not find the layout and lighting condusive to taking a lot of pictures.

Turkey was hinting at the Orient Express with a number of video screens showing production footage.
Is that Mother Courage I see?
If you look carefully you can see me in the picture

What was the American Curator thinking of?
All I can think of is the problems with Spiderman on Broardway.

The following images are from the extreme costume exhibit
A very darkly lit exhibit which made me long for the old industrial palace

The industrial palace, the site of previous PQs
The left side burnt down a few years ago so they did not use it this year
The photo was taken from the roof of the National Museum of Modern Art, the new location for the National and Student exhibits
